This is how I see it.

Making Peter Rumple's father was wonderful character development for Rumple. We finally got to see his father and how he abandoned him.

But. It was terrible character development for Peter Pan. Peter could have been such a wonderful, in depth, evil character, but now we find he's just a man obsessed with youth. To me, Peter would have come out as much more evil if he been a boy who came onto Neverland and stopped aging. He doesn't seem as vicious and genius as before. Now, he's just a pawn in Rumple's character development. I'm not even that mad about how it changed the original story, but I can't believe they just threw away a character that had so much potential. What a waste, of a great character and a fantastic actor.

The Neverland Arc could have played out better. I'm disappointed.
