Regina was never one dimensional. At the start, A & E said the whole Evil is born mantra. The episode that had her kill a villaige was during season 2 and in season 2 she was starting on her path of redemption. Backslid a little but still on the path.

Hook was introduced as an opportunistic jerk that might have once had a code. He was never shown to be in any heroic light. He obviously was cruel to taunt a crippled, old man to fight him and to not at least take Bae with him.

He was even a jerk with Ursula. Him killing those men seemed within his character. But Hook keeping them and being slghtly sociopathic about it wasn't. Although, perhaps the writers saw him that way, but didn't portray it correctly.
