Maybe that's why I like Rumple better than the rest, because it avoids some of the shallow fangirls and some people that actual like those with complexity."

That's a little harsh. Hook has complexity, too. And people don't only like him because he's good-looking. I like him because I think he's funny and charming and just an overall decent character. Also, I think he's a great boyfriend for Emma. I bolded parts that make me laugh. Hook is as complex as you make him. All the characters are complex,but Hook isn't shown to be that much of a complex character. He is fairly static in most cases. So, what have we learned, he was a pirate with agood heart, but opportunistic.....now, he's a pirate that's good hearted and.....opportunistic. Being funny and charming doesn't mean you're complex. Charming is those at times and he's as complex as a pond of stagnant water.

Example, Elsa was a good character on Once, but she was a static (or flat) character. She was emotional, funny,  and what not, but nothing onscreen showed complexity of her character. (Yes, she was complex in Frozen, but in Once, not so much.)

Complex is Emma, Snow (yeah, just strip out the showy goodness), Rumple, and Regina at most times. Some other characters may be dynamic at times, but hardly as complex as these four.
