Hook to Bae - "a pirate saved your scrawny bones from accursed mermaids".

Sounds like the mermaids in Neverland are going to be the deadly drowning type after all...either that or that they are under a curse but I am going with the deadly idea.

Accursed: 1. Under a curse. 2. Used to express strong dislike of or anger towards someone or something.

If they make them darker I would actually be really pleased, as it goes back to their darker roots as being rather capricious beings. I can see Ariel being similar to the character of Syrena in Pirates 4 (who was based in part on Ariel. The mermaids in that film are also amazing, my fave screen mermaids to date) and be slightly different and more sympathetic towards humans than her mermaid sisters. In the Peter Pan novel and the Disney cartoon, the mermaids are only nice towards Peter and try to drown Wendy. They are shown as vain and lazy lounging in the sun and doing their hair. In the book, at night at the turn of the moon they become deadly to mortals and sing haunting songs before retiring to undersea chambers. The fact that in the book the mermaids become deadly after dark fits in with the idea of OUaT's Neverland as being a scary lonely sinister place once the sun goes down. Also going back to "accursed" maybe that is it, the whole of Neverland is cursed to change after dark, good becomes bad and nothing is as it seems.

I am so excited for the final episode of season 2 and I dont think I can wait till season 3.

EDITED

I  have just relistened to that teaser again and again and I now think Hook is saying "the curse of the mermaids..." ?? Either way they don't sound good to me!! OMG!!! Where'd you get this info from??!!! You're so amazing!!!! :D
