​2) Good people or Heroes allways want at one point from there children to have there kids so that both can reproduce and have the bloodline of each family alive.

3) Tell me isnt true that after both Robin and Alice die out of old age there wont be any more of Wish Jones bloodline to follow.Thats the truth evean thought he is happy now and in future years from now,Nook will at one point question himself about "how wonderfull whould have been to have grandchildren".

4) Also if Alice was married to a guy it dosent matter if it worked out beetwen them or not the only thing that matters is that she cant get pregnat and have kids, so that Wish Jones family will survive in future. And thats a fact,but hey at least main reality Hook wont expirence that fate with his daughter.

Since you addressed this to me, I'll respond, but I had to put numbers by your statements so you'd know what segment of your post I am answering:

1)  No, I don't.  I don't think he will eventually realize he wanted grandchildren any more than I think people who don't want kids will decide they really want kids.  Having descendents is not the sole purpose of life!  Being happy and making the world a better place b/c you were in it are far more important goals for life than merely producing biological offspring.

2) No, they don't.  Some of the best people who have ever lived had no children:  Jesus, St. Francis of Assisi, Susan B. Anthony, and Mother Teresa are just a few off the top of my head.  The impact of their lives extends FAR beyond anything that would have resulted from them just having children so their bloodline could continue!  So, no, not ALL "good people" or heroes want grandchildren!  Or even children!

3) Hook can still find a woman to impregnate (I say it like that since that seems to be the only worthy goal for characters and good people according to you, and things like love don't seem to matter).  He can still have other children, if he wants.  And as I said before, I don't know for sure whether Hook will ever wish he had grandchildren *and neither do you*!

4) I never SAID anything about Alice marrying a guy and it not working out.  Watch my lips:  I *said* that just because a heterosexual couple wants to have children, DOESN'T MEAN THEY CAN!  There are lots of hetero couples who can't have children AND lots of hetero couples who CAN have children, but don't WANT children.

Also, I don't even know what to say about your statement that the only thing that matters is that Alice can get pregnant and have kids so the family will survive. I'm just stunned that anyone would say that's the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS. So Alice should just be a baby machine, and it doesn't matter if the guy cheats on her or beats her up or is emotionally abusive. The ONLY thing that matters is that she can get pregnant so HOOK can have grandchildren?! Seriously, this sounds like something someone from the 18th century would say!

Re your last statement about the other Hook not experiencing "that" with his daughter:  You don't know that. She may not live to adulthood. She may remain celibate her whole life. She may marry a man but they may decide they don't want children. She may marry a man and one or both of them discover they CAN'T biologically reproduce. She may adopt. She may meet someone like Robin and marry her! WE DON'T KNOW! You make so many assumptions about people! ​​​ I %100 agree with you. My brother and her wife have been married for 4 years now. And they don't want to have any children right now. Plus, this show has proved that biological children have sometimes mean nothing to those people. So, I wouldn't say that Gothel is Alice's mother. But I can say that Regina is indeed Henry's mother. Bloodline means nothing in these kind of situations to me. It's all about the relationships

And sometimes, there are things that you can't change or do in life. Alice and Robin can't have their own biological children. So, should they just give up on living their lifes? No one is perfect, and people cannot gain all good things in life. So, instead of questioning "Why did this happen to me?", people should just ignore it and start looking other good things their life.
