    They could have done a good and charismatic villain, and what we get? This lame badboy... MeeeH.

  3. Not my cup of tea, the phrase is kinda lame, but at least this one looks like someone spent at least five minutes in photoshop. And comparing to previous stuff, it is MUCH better.

    I hope Peter Pan is not a true villain, because I'd quit of this show.

  5. Wow, they're really pushing Hook this season. Not that I mind, I really like him and he's very pretty, but have never seen him as a bad guy.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I kind of hope he is actually. I want to see a villain who is unapologetic and ruthless and not like Rumple or Regina who aren't really truly bad guys, they're just very messed up.

    If they do that in the name of originality, is not something new AT ALL. Zenescope did a version of this (Hook the good guy, PP bad guy) thing.


    They can put the little mermaid, Rapunzel and Tarzan as villains, why not?.... Come on!...

  8. I think it's much better than the last one...

  9. Oh really. It's like two times better than the rest so I won't complain. And the not so evil (and redemption) is like the theme of the whole show. The only thing I want for him is not to hesitate too much like Regina in the second season.

    It's because they are trying to please to loud fans on twitter.

  11. I think the poster is so much better than the character promo pics the gave and then pulled. I mean, it looks very Photoshopped, but I like the colors and the font. I love Hook. He's really terrible at being a villain and it's a little precious and sad. And the theme of Neverland has always been about believing and I'm certain that will be a theme with these posters. I hope they do one for every main character.


    I appreciate them trying. This fandom feels so greedy and complainy lately and I just don't have it in me. This has been a long hiatus and I miss new episodes.

  12. "I'll quit the show" makes me roll my eyes. You're doubting it before it even begins.
    No one is really a true villain on this show. Evil isn't born; it's made. Which we get to see. That's what OUAT is good at, causing sympathy for the devil of sorts. Also, Peter was kind of an assbutt in the original story. It'll be fun to see that blown up times 1000 on the show.

    Why define them as evil?


    All three of them are morally gray, no different from, let's say, Snow White.


    Truly evil characters like Cora, never became "good".



    You could argue Rumple, but Hook? Hook was always firmly in an anti-hero kind of territory.

  15. InvestedInYourFuture17 September 2013 at 07:35

    Let's be frank, even the original swashbuckling Hook from the Books was less of a villain and more of a revenge obsessed grown up version of peter pan(since the whole point of the books were inter-changeability of Peter and Hook, complete with Peter becoming captain of Hook's ship after killing him)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Nicolás Caballero Mühlbach17 September 2013 at 07:49

    It's not the first show that I quit if I'm not satisfied. You can roll your eyes how many times you want :)


    The difference about Rumple and Regina is that dark magic corrupted them. Hook is a killer and abuser... because he had a bad childhood? Because his "lovely" Milah was killed? What an excuse!!! I remember that chapter when he hit Belle and wanted to kill her 'cause she was not useful to him and then in present day he saved Aurora's heart in the same episode!, seriously, where is the logica treatment on this character? Oh yes, FANGIRLS.

    Sorry for my english, it's not my native language!

    I never said that Hook was Jack the Ripper.

  18. Don't shoot me please, but I'm just surprised you're looking for realistic material in a poster for a TV show about fairy tales characters.
    I was actually kind of afraid too, because of the last photos with the blurry effects.
    Finally I find this not too bad, as for me OUAT characters are like comic books characters and I quite like the fact that they highlight the main theme of the show, "believe", through the character of Hook.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think that's exactly what they intend to do with Peter Pan, a great and charismatic villain.

  20. "The difference about Rumple and Regina is that dark magic corrupted them."
    While I don't agree with that 100% let's say it's true,at least in Rumple's case,because how was Regina corrupted by dark magic?But anyway,let's agree that Rumple was partly affected.Dark magic didn't come knocking on their doors.They actively sought it out.No matter what the problem was,how is it a good idea to try and control and later become something called the Dark One?!
    As for Regina,I don't think magic had anything to do with it.Just like Hook,she wanted revenge for the death of a loved one.Unlike Hook,she concentrated on the wrong person,Snow.Hook,no matter his methods,which I don't wanna excuse,don't get me wrong,was right to go after Rumplestiltskin.


    About Hook attempting to kill Belle and then saving Aurora's heart in the same episode.I think that was exactly what the writers wanted,all season long,from this character.To make viewers question where he stands and how he thinks.My opinion is that,until now,all he cared about was hurting/killing Rumple and he would use any method.Again I'm not excusing that.Nor am I saying that Rumple and Regina are flat out evil.I actually like both characters,especially Rumple.But truth is,whatever Hook has done,it pales in comparison.If the others can seek and find redemption in some extent,then it makes sense that he would go down that road eventually.


    And your English is fine,not my native language either. : )

  21. Surprise, surprise it's once again Hook. Isn't #SaveHenry their tagline this season? Yet we're always seeing the same 1-2 characters in promotion and Henry is not in it at all.
    At least the art of the poster looks better than the horrible cast promotion photos.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I don't know if you're aware of one theory about Killian Jones or Captain Hook (whatever suits you) being the original Peter Pan (google it; is a theory that is growing fast every day as once was the theory about Neal being Henry's biological father) so... to me this is a Peter Pan poster I mean, he even has the pose that we saw in Peter Pan's movies. To me is what it looks like.

  23. Same as always

  24. I won't shoot you, don't worry :) (especially since it is you avatar with a shotgun and mine with a flower, hehe)
    I wasn't looking for realism, just for proportion and a more mature art. I would be very happy to see a non realistic, yet well done and crazy art, but this is not the case here.
    This poster kinda looked "juvenile" with the over the top "I'm so sad and this hook used to be my real hand" face and the sentence EXPLAINING that he is not evil, just f*cked up and tortured yadda yadda (no subtlety there, it's like we aren't smart enough to figure anything out, so they wanna make it blatantly obvious).
    The lack of proportion between the arm lenght and the arm/legs width is also a bit disturbing.
    ps.: Later I realized that it looks like Hook was photographed in front of Conan's backdrop.

  25. I know a lot of people are hating this, but i like it!

  26. Do abc know that Hook isn't the main character of Once...... It's really starting to pissing me of.... sure I like him and the poster is fine but seriously, Emma,Regina, Snow, Charming and Rumple ARE the main cast and where are the poster about them?????

    ReplyDelete
  27. I would say Regina was very much corrupted by dark magic, her life was planned out before her birth, in theory. Even before she was born, Rumpel had made a deal with Cora to have her first born (Regina), which already was bad enough. The things that would have happened to Regina if Rumpel HAD have had his hands on her then actually makes me wonder what she'd be like now (possibly worse maybe, or even better off, who knows?)

    Later, we find out that Regina had grown up with Cora, a woman who had no heart, and showed no emotions. Going by the episode 'The Stable Boy' and 'We Are Both', I think we can assume that Cora quite often used magic on Regina for discipline, and even dark magic, I'd say. That alone - to takes ones own heart- is dark magic, and this effected Regina greatly. She had no happiness in her life, save her father (at times, cause of Cora's rule of him) and Daniel (again, only at times due to their secrecy) and her horse.

    In addition, she had to marry King Leopold, a man she didn't even want to marry, after her TRUE LOVE was killed through dark magic. After this, when Regina had spent long, agonizing years with Leopold and Cora, she turns to Rumpel for help. And then from then on, everything just went worse for her.

    Sorry if that seemed like a rant, I just really love seeing the view points of the 'villains' on this show! :D

  28. Ok he's a regular and he can be a nice addition to the show but for me the core five will always be the most important characters. I know a lot of poeple like Hook (including me) but the promotion this summer was only almost about him (or Hook/Emma) and that's really annoying. He may be in the main cast now but that's not a reason to forget about the others....

  29. I really hope so!

  30. Looks very photoshopped and fan made.

    II think the show suffered a lot last season because they forgot who the main characters were.

  32. EuphemiaWonderland17 September 2013 at 20:27

    I agree about Rumpel, Regina and Hook being morally grey and that's fine. But they even try to justify Cora's actions because she didn't have her heart. It's starting to become really annoying that nobody is really evil.

    ReplyDelete
  33. No,not a rant at all.It's awesome talking about these things with other fans.

    : )



    I see your points and I pretty much agree with everything you said.My argument is that the way I understood it,in the original post the "corrupted by dark magic" was referring to Regina's way of thinking and acting was actually affected by her using magic.That's where I disagree.There's no doubt that without magic(and Cora) her life would be infinitely better,but I don't think she was corrupted by it.


    As you said,we've seen Cora using magic for discipline,but we also saw that Regina wasn't so drastically affected.Sure,it was a horrible thing to do,but she was able to work around that as long as she was happy with Daniel.So,I don't think magic was the problem.Daniel's death was what pushed her over the edge and later on he was no longer there to balance things out.
    And then she got obsessed with revenge against Snow.If anything I think she was corrupted by the power her magic gave her.


    I don't know if I'm making myself clear.I wish I could express what I wanna say better but that's as far as my English goes.But I agree with what you said,I just don't think dark magic was the main cause of Regina's change.

  34. InvestedInYourFuture17 September 2013 at 23:15

    Oh but Cora herself CHOSE to remove her heart. She has been displayed to be evil since the beginning. Its not something that happened to her. Its something she consciously chose to do to herself.



    And well, duh, obviously nobody is "really evil" like nobody is really good. Its the choices that matter.

  35. Hmmm,I replied to you yesterday,but apparently Disqus ate my comment.Damn it!Anyway,I'll give it another go..


    First of all,not a rant at all.It's awesome talking about these things with other fans. : )
    I agree with pretty much everything you said.My argument is that,the way I understood it,in the original post "corrupted by dark magic" means that Regina using magic herself affected her way of thinking and acting.That's where I disagree.
    There's no doubt that living around magic all her life made Regina's life extremely hard.As you said,we've seen Cora using her magic on her for discipline.While that's a horrible thing to do,Regina seemed able to move past that,if only because of her relationship with Daniel.
    Her problems obviously started when Daniel died,because apart from losing him,she didn't have anything to balance things out for her.I don't think it would make a difference if Cora had,for example,stabbed Daniel,instead of crushing his heart.The result would be the same.And then the whole revenge thing with Snow came.
    Regina was already heading down a dangerous path when she started using magic.It just made things worse.If anything,I think she was corrupted by the power her magic gave her because she suddenly had the ability to do something about all the things that tormented her for years.
    The way I see it,she was already "corrupted"(that's not the word I'd use though) by all her traumatic experiences.Magic just gave her the power to do something about it.


    I don't know if I'm clear.I wish I could express myself better but this is as far as my English goes,unfortunately.

  36. Ah, damn. I see your other comment above this one though, aha :) Thank you for being considerate of my opinion :) There is a lot of hate going on in this fandom recently, so I'm super glad to know nobody has replied harshly :D

    I think I misunderstood the way in which you phrased "corrupted by dark magic" then, my apologies. Because then I'd have to agree with you. I'm a huge Regina fan, and even I know that Regina did (still is now partially) reacted on revenge, and possibly more factors, but revenge was the biggest reaction. And though I feel she aimed the revenge on the wrong person - don't get me wrong, I think Snow telling Cora of Regina/Daniel, specifically after she promised Regina she wouldn't, was extremely bad, I still think it was all Cora. At the end of the day, it was her who manipulated young Snow into revealing such. ANYWAY, aha (getting too caught up!)

    I feel Regina got addicted to the power. Which I wouldn't be surprised by, seeming the life she grew up in, as she didn't have a say in her own life and had no freedom. So, I think, when able to use the magic, she became almost addicted to the power, the freedom to rule others and do what she pleased, and futhermore, became a darker, more secluded, person. But yes, Daniel's death was most certainly the turning point for Regina. And even more so when she realised she couldn't save him, even after Dr Whale had operated on him.

    But don't worry, you are making perfect sense. ^-^ Your English is extremely good!
