Okay just to sum up all my paralell theories:
There is an overall subtle theme:
The lion king 1 and 2
Storybrooke hint: Episode 1.20 Henrys nightlamp shows what looks like
a lion cub from the lion king and a giraffe..
The way Snow and Charming met:
Charming became a prince and was a long lost saviour, which we also se alot of in emma. Kiara, a “princess”:If there’s so much I must be can I still just be me the way I am? Can I trust in my own heart or am I just one part of some big plan? Emma basically said the same thing to gold when she found out about her magic.
Kovu grew up without a father, as did killian.
The way Kovu met and acts around Kiara.. you’ve seen that look before.. The Dark eyes, smug smile, cocky attitude
Kiara: My father says to never turn your back on an Outsider!
Kovu said: An outsider doesn’t need anybody. I take care of myself!
And we have definitely heard that one from hook..
One of the hook centered episode was called “The outsider”
Both Kovu and Killian loves their crocodiles…
Then they met again.. Both kovu and hook was filled with anger the next time..
Charming/ Simba paralell: They are both very quick to judge people
Deception Disgrace Evil as plain as the scar on his face
Zira/ cora
Hook: Cora wanted me to gain your trust and learn everything there is about your precious storybrooke.
Zira: Friends? You thought you’d get to the daughter. And Simba would welcome you with open arms? What an idea! … {she reconsiders} What an idea! You brilliant child— I’m so proud of you! {She kneads the frightened Kovu with unsheathed claws}You have the same conniving mind that made Scar so… powerful.
Born in grief. Raised in hate. Helpless to defy his fate. Let him run. Let him live. But do not forget what we cannot forgive. And he is not one of us, he has never been one of us. He is not part of us. Not our kind Someone once lied to us. Now we’re not so blind. For we knew he would do what he’s done. And we know that he’ll never be one of us
The Hook mask was “born” in grief, raised in hate. Only sees one way out, revenge. He is not one of them, he is a pirate which must mean he is not to be trusted. Letting them die was what they would expect him to do, it’s not what he did. They were wrong.
Both Emma and Kiara sees through the outsider mask. And trusts them against their families will. They offer them a chance to start a new life, without revenge with a real family.
KIARA: In a perfect world. One we’ve never known. We would never need to face the world alone. They can have the world. We’ll create our own.
KOVU: I was so afraid. Now I realize Love is never wrong. And so it never dies.
What’s still to come:
AND IT WILL COME!
Final scene:
Pirates of the Caribbean parallels
Now I haven’t explored this one as much as it just hit me.. But it’s really obvious now that I see it.. It’s a disney movie about pirates..ofc..
But the way I see it there is no “will turner” and “jack sparrow” Hook is in fact both. He is a will turner with a dose of jack sparrow. (Unless Jack sparrow in fact is his father and he just acts alot like his father, or he was raised by Jack Sparrow as he grew up without his parents.) But there is alot of parallels for both william and jack. Here goes..
The names:
Killian - William
Emma Swan - Elizabeth Swann (both E. Swan)
Jones could be a reference to Davy Jones as his father:
His original purpose was to carry souls of those who died at sea from this world to the next on his vessel. He was charged with this duty by his one true love, a sea goddess named Calypso. For every ten years at sea he could spend one day on land to be with her. Ten years after first being charged with the duty, Jones prepared to be reunited with his true love, but became heartbroken and enraged when she did not show. Unable to deal with the sadness of Calypso’s betrayal, he cut out his heart and placed it in a chest, burying it on the plague island Isla Cruces.
Like father like son? (thanks: somethingofanopenbook)
They all seem to like cutting out their hearts…But ANYWAYS..Now there has been some speculation about Ariel being Hooks mother, which would make sence if his father was Davy Jones who left him, and his mother was a mermaid/ sirene (seagodess). Hook has mentioned the mermaids several times, none of them makes it sound like he was very fond of them. And we know Ariel meets a sailor who looks quite similar to a certain…
ANYWAYS back to Captain Jack Sparrow and Will Turner. I think He started out as Killian Jones /William Turner. I rewatched when they first met and Emma asked who he was. Hooks answer: Killian Jones a Blacksmith, and William turner just so happened to be a blacksmith.. Out of every occupation why choose blacksmith?
I’ll tell you why.. He is great with a sword, because he used to make them. And not really much for a pirate is he? We haven’t seen him plundering and pillaging anything, he doesn’t even have a crew or a captains hat. “Ah the pirate thing”. He isn’t exactly the worlds greatest pirate.
William Turner: He travels to the Caribbean at an early age after his mother dies, looking for his father, whom he believes to be a respectable merchant sailor. His father sends him a golden medallion, one of the 882 identical pieces of cursed Aztec gold. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hook has it, parhaps in the treasure chest full of coins belle found, or the one coin he took with him from the giant. It might have been more than just a pirate enjoing treasure..
A magic compass that takes you where you wish to go…
The curse of the black pearl:
Elizabeth the daughter of the governor is kidnapped by a cursed pirate doomed to live forever, until a blood sacrifice is done.. / In once upon a time Henry, the son of a princess, grandson of prince charming and snow white is kidnapped by peter pan doomed to live forever until he gets henry and…..?
PLOT TWIST:
Peter pan is Captain Barbossa, and a blood sacrifice will break their curse..
Elizabeth always has faith that in the end he will do the right thing, even tho he hasn’t given her much reason to believe. Same with emma and hook.
HE CAME BACK!
red jacket..
Captain Jack Sparrow: He watches and reads people and gladly manipulates them for his own ingenious ends. That said, he avoids harming people for even his enemies only get what they truly deserve. Jack has a sense of right that may fluctuate by circumstance in the details, but he still has a sense of honor. When the chips are down Jack will come through, if at all humanly possible, for his friends or the greater good. Sounds familiar?
Jack carries on his person little tokens or souvenirs from places he’s been or people he’s met.
“A pirate always keeps a souvenir of his conquests, but this, this is much more than a mere trinket. This is a symbol of something that was once magical and full of hope, possibilities…” - HOOK-
(thanks hookedemma)
Mark my word:
Captain Swan is happening!
But the important thing is…Like I said:
Hook will steal a kiss or two,
but it’s Killian who gets the girl..
Dead mans chest:
Jack owes Davy Jones a blood dept and needs the help of william and elizabeth swan to find his heart..
PLOT TWIST:
Hooks blod dept is that Davy Jones is in fact his father..
I’m sure there are MANY more, If you’ve got some good ones send them over and I’ll add them;) Not my gifs
I love your theories.. especially the ones with Ariel and Eric/Davy Jones being Hook’s parents! Also.. in the first movie of the Pirates of Caribbean when Elizabeth was kidnapped and Will went to Jack for help, Jack said: “How far are you willing to go to save her?” and Will answered: “I’d die for her.”…
Thank you for pointing out all those paralells between OAUT and Lion King!! I haven’t re-watch Lion King in a long time!! Kovu and Simba’s family is just like Killian and the Charmings! It would be so interesting if Emma(a princess) ends up with a ‘villain’ !!
