But they certainly seem to be foreshadowing that... They do, especially with the completley irritatingly disgusting drivel scratched on that blade......Oops! I thinkArthur will rule or Lancelot will rule with Gwen by his side. Well, ABC would disagree with you.... their marketing team is about as subtle, as a hippo in a tutu. This is primarily why I hate Hook (mostly because of fangirls), but ABC markets him like the new thing since slice bread. He's pretty much the pretty boy and as popularity goes, it sucks for others.

A slight aside, Hook gets (and CS, as a part) great marketing and the ...I'll say the four main couple-ships speak of how it's used to market., but Hook gets under my nerves when his role is secondary, his character isn't something phenomenal, his portrayal is absolutely brilliant, but not the best on the show, and he gets this much publicity and marketing. Smart, but I dislike it.

But back on topic, it would be slightly fine, but the way I am seeing it so far (so it's not cemented, but just assumed) they have a secondary character be more proactive and in a central role over the main character he supports.

It's like if Robin got center stage in the next arc and saved the day and got the magical macguffin. And if he got all the press and fangirling, I would be as opposed to that.

But even more on topic (I'm getting there), I don't think they should change a classic legend and pretty much boot the classic characters out for their protagonist. Even more so, I would hurt Hook (I know, but ABC and spoilers are making me think that) more than it would help.

Hook would become a Gary stu (Mary Sue) by my standards because he would be the bad boy that gets the girl, gets his ship, got his revenge, gain royalty and then a kingdom and then the shared title of an all-powerful weapon and has extreme luck.......that becomes to much than it already is. Hook used to be my favorite character, but now I can't stand him. I enjoyed him in the second season and a little bit of the third when he all piratey (I couldn't think of the right word), but now I feel like he just follows Emma around and makes out with her every five seconds.

A lot of fangirls really want Hook to pull the sword from the stone and be the new king of Camelot, but he isn't exactly "pure of heart" and completely "heroic". I would rather they just leave Arthur or Lancelot as king and Guinevere as king.

I'm not trying to hate on anyone who likes Hook, those are just my two cents. :)
