I Have Always Been A Touch Of A Captain Hook Defender, But Descendants Captain Hook Makes It So Much

I have always been a touch of a Captain Hook defender, but Descendants Captain Hook makes it so much easier.

I’m not even talking about Joshua Colley’s (incredible) performance either. The little I read of the books (until the way Jay was described made me uncomfortable and I closed the book never to touch it again) makes him out to be not that bad of guy. I mean, in his first appearance in the book he literally sticks his head in the waiting jaws of a predator just to make Evie laugh. Putting himself in harms way just to bring joy to a child.

And Harry’s idolization of his father leaves me to hope that James Hook was at least a better parent than the likes of Cruella and Maleficent. In my heart he’s much more leaning into the likes of Dr. Facilier whose daughter chose the Isle over losing him because she felt loved by her father.

And maybe I’m wrong there; maybe the books or animated series (which I’m not very familiar with) make him out to be some monster but. I’d like to imagine there’s so sort of gentleness to him, that maybe Harry idolizes him not due to some need to be a perfect villain but because unlike Mal and Carlos who were pressured through violence to be like their parents, Harry was shown love and what gentleness the Isle could afford.

Brothers Karamazov is an amazing psychological exploration of character because it showcases three terrible yet very common mental illnesses: the saviour complex (Alyosha), the superiority complex (Ivan) and being an extrovert (Dmitri) 😔

someone take the monster energy and classic literature away from me I'm getting too deranged

I think a better ending and message of The Umbrella Academy should have been that Five doesn't tell the others what he learns in the subway and about breaking the timeline, but instead he simply lives with his family, endlessly saving and trying to save the world. To live despite how dark it is and how hopeless it is.

To live in spite of hardship. To live and spit in the face of how hard and bleak it is.

To say, 'I lived' in spite of it all.

That should have been the message at the end.
