i have to be honest, iām a little upset with the way the show tried to do the parallels between these two ships
the one that always bothered me was the wholeĀ āi will find you, hook, i will always find youā bit when sheās going to the underworld - donāt get me wrong, i found it sweet and aww sheās going for him, i love it but i do have two problems with it:
first of all, the use ofĀ āhookā, like i get it, they probably had it like that for promo use but it is kinda ooc for emma to call him hook like that, sheād call him killian, killian is the man who died for her and her family and the man who loves her and tbh i think that whoever the promo concerns will know that she means hook if you have her say killian ok ?
second of all, the use of that quote, i get it, itās her parentās phrase and sheās following their lead from the heart split to the quote but it sounds so cheap in that moment, idk it doesnāt sound right. now, thereās a whole other quote that they could have used that sheād know about bc our boy killian said it to someone close to emma about emma and that is *drum roll*Ā āiād go to the end of the world for her, or timeā YES that would be a sentence that they could have her say, a more subtle nod instead of full-on copy, they could have had her say something along the lines of that and even add that snowing bit if thatās what they wanted, something like idkĀ āiām going to the end of the world for you and i will find you, alwaysā idk i suck but something like that !!! not cheap copy
now if thereās a parallel that they should have used from snowing that iām still very upset they didnāt is the wedding ... see where iām getting at ?
snow and charming got married by lancelot so that davidās mother could see him marry before she died, now donāt you think that emma and killian deserved the same chance ? for all they knew at one point, killian wasnāt going to go back so why not that parallel ?
they could have had it like after the whole ambrosia failure bit, yes i know the plot wouldnāt quite let that happen and i wouldnāt have traded the elevator scene for anything bc that was beautiful af BUT i do think that should have happened at some point
and if weāre wanting to keep it all as is, i have a solution .... prepare yourselves: killian marries them at emmaās request on the elevator part and the ring is liamās ring, the one around her neck, bc the marriage would be for them not for her family and then she could have told mom and dad about it and THEN when killian comes back, theyād have their wedding as the show showed them bc snowing had it the same way too ( tho i do have another rant about season 6 but ya know for later )
ok i also paused midway while writing this to check on their parallels bc i knew there was one where snowingĀ ātookā from captainswan which was theĀ āas you wishā on that sapling flashback and omg apparently there are so many more !! ( this is the video i watchedĀ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJPZaJbyaCUĀ ) and now iām just extra pissed bc there are so many good ones and like subtle ones !! why did they have to give us the cheapĀ āi will always find youā parallel ??
let me know what you think and what you thought about the snowing / captainswan parallelsĀ
