So when you look at it, Hook is probably one of the closest adaptations of his counterpart (not as close as Elsa, Anna and Merida who were essentially copies of their film version) while at the same time making Killian Jones a unique character in his own right,

But even if he was totally different, I fail to see how and why that would be an issue given that the entire premiseof the show is new takes on classic stories. Assuming this is correct, it appears that Disney's Captain Hook was quite a change on the original.
