Loaded title, indeed. If we analyze some potential decisions by Adam and Eddy, we would actually have no "heroic" main male characters. No, Hook and Rumple at any point still fall under the "Villain" category.

Season 1: David would have died, according to the writers, but didn't happen.

Season 3: Neal, however selfish, was "heroic" at a base and he died.

Season 5: Robin, who's essentially a hero, died.

We would have no "heroic" male character, just "villain" (redeemed or no) male characters. The show is about strong women, but just seeing that this was a possibility seems counterproductive as then all the living male main characters would be villains (redeemed or no). Hmmm.....
