Hook has gained massive appeal from a lot of fans, not just teenage girls. And then of course you have the fans who want him kicked of the show. Adam and Eddie are guilty of using at least a little bit, Captain Swan to keep the fans who support them watching the show. But this is my opinion, and as we all know, everyone's opinion differs. Almost every tv show has a character that splits the fandom, and it is usually the one considered the fan-favorite. However, wanting to get an actor kicked off a show, is repulsive. Are people really that miserable with their own lives, that they need to take it out on a complete stranger?

Regarding Adam and Eddy.... those two really need to quit social media. Other than when Adam announces the episode titles, they end up doing more harm than good. Eddy doesn't do social media, I think. They tend to stir the pot a little, but they don't do anything outrageous. It's more of the toxic part of the fandom that do so. It's humorous that some might not believe me that I like Hook, even though everything else seems contrary. It's some of the fandom's idea of Hook that I hate. Well, that and poor and controversial writing. I'm certain that some of those fans see it that way to. Some fans see a character in an entirely different light and they can't separate that version of the character, or the fandom's version of the character, with the one on screen, and the actor as well. (Creepy real life shipping is creepy.)

I'd just ignore them because half of them don't seem to even like the show. Only on the Internet will people not move on, but try their best at making other people move in their direction, under a guise that there are no penalties because they don't really know me. Well, happens in real life, but not as often. I've never minded the character, the only thing I don't like is his forced "heroism" and the forced relationship of Emma and him. The moment we saw him hitting Belle, he couldn't have been anyone's love interest and I think it was a poor choice that the writers made to pair him with Emma. However, there are more dangerous matters that the show does and conveniently ignore. I was fine with his heroism, but everything they show is that it's all relient on Emma, not a personal decision to change. If they only realized that part, then it would be totally cool.

Actually the longer the show runs, the less the intercharacter relationships make sense. I mean Regina is a mass murdering tyrant who's haunted her family for years and actually tried to kill her on a number of occasions. I'm sure in realiuty that would never work. Even now, the heroes are going to Hell to save the man who was just sending them to Hell.

That's what it is in the story: the suspension of disbelief is getting really high that most people (like me) can't handle that extreme. All fantasy requires suspension of disbelief. As do most tv shows.
