I think I've realized the misconception (didn't feel like it needs a thread).

WR is not at all about the dark curse, but a realm where Emma never became the Savior. Ignoring Hook's random statement, the dark curse is just a major plot pivot, but it's clear that things were changed beforehand (which was a given, especially with young Robin and Nottingham, no Roland, no Marian, Snow and David somehow stealing her magic and banishing the Queen to another world).
