Why do so many people try to make Captain Hook a good guy?

Well ouat Captain Hook is pretty close to the book actually.

The original version of J.M. Berryies Hook was a minor character, but also the one who rescues the Darling Children and Returns them Home; Peter Pan was the Villain, so this isnt a new idea.

This isn't like the Robin Hood stories where its based on a legend with no identified author and no official story.

Sometimes people who are good become so full of anger though....I don't remember if I had read the book or not, it was a long time ago that i owned it..... but... the fact that many movies say how Peter Pan chopped off Hooks hand and threw it to a crocodile would make Hook hate Peter Pan. I'd imagine anything that made Peter Pan happy would make Hook want to destroy it. I mean not many people would completely get over losing their own hand by a kid who was either their friend or enemy.

In both the Disney cartoon and the movie 'Hook', he is evil.

Seems an even split, actually.

Again, this is an origin story. Hook starts out good, probably goes bad later. If this film had been better, we might have had a shot at a sequel where he turns on Peter. But that's not likely to happen.

The original story hints that Pan and Hook had a long, long history prior to our entry into the story. We can only speculate, so let us speculate away! The idea is that Hook was once a Lost Boy, too. This movie also states he was a Lost Boy, that he had been in the mines his entire life.

I've read that in the book Pan even kills some of the children, not sure how true that is.

Anyway. Peter Pan has been extremelly explored over the years. In the last decades, the old USA/Disney idea of the good guy and the bad guy got boring. It's not black or white, life is more like anime vilians.

Second, Hook had had his suffering time, by losing his hand and being trapped on a land where kids can fly and bully him because he's adult. It's not good to plot somebody like that as a bad guy.

Third, he is fun, lauglable. It's easy for actors to attain sympathy from the public by playing him.

Fouth, he's a pirate. In the time, England pirates were very horrendous and killed thousand of dumb spanish retards. But now people like pirates, kids play of being a pirate. It seems fun a life of traveling over the seas, visiting all America's coasts and fighting with swords.

Fifth, Pan isn't precisely a good guy either. He calls children to flee from their home and live far from their parents. I'm totally ok with that, but parents get rly afraid with the idea.

Sixth, the children are just children, it's not good to plot an adult hurting children.

Because all of that it's even expected that Hook won't be a bad guy.

You say "so many people", and then name 2 times. Wow, your whole perspective on numbers is WAY off.
