(Kicks the door down and takes a deep breath) WAIT they don’t live like I love you!
In all seriousness though, apparently in one of the descendants wiki (although I am skeptical cuz wikis can be changed), it says that Hook eventually conquered his fear over the crocodile and even stuck his head in its jaws for Evie’s bday(?)
But then that got me thinking, this guy has been terrified of the crocodile, so how does he get over this fear? My answer: father’s love.
That crocodile is always after Hook (even going as far to the isle, unbelievable, captain can’t catch a break) but then it catches eye of them lil Hookling codfishes. Little appetizers. Yummy!
Typical little pirates off to explore away from the Captain’s eye despite being told to stay put (probably managed to lose Smee along the way as well) and found themselves in danger!
It’s one thing if that beast went after him, but it’s another thing if it goes after his children! The children who are the last thing he has of Bridget! He’s lost her, but he isn’t going to lose them! He’s already lost Bridget thanks to that “Beast King”, Hook ain’t going to lose his children to that damn Tik Tok Croc! After one crazy fight, Captain Hook’s gotten over his fear of the crocodile (for the moment, it’ll be a process to get over that fear) and his kids excitedly going on about their brave dad!
The kids are probably a little scared of the crocodile themselves after that incident. ‘Twas a frightful encounter and certainly ain’t complaining (well some complaint about the child leashes) when they’re told to stay in the ship for a while.
.....this. Is. Awesome! :D Yeah, it never quite made sense to me that the books (not just the wiki's so this is true info) said that Hook was willing to put his one remaining hand/head in Tic Tok's mouth for evie’s sake. (a child that isn't even Hook's btw, so why would he do that? Or even like her for that matter?)
But the way you've put it makes so much sense! The only way Captain Hook was going to get over his crocodile fear, was if it finally crossed that one line he wouldn't tolerate...going after Hook's kids.
As said, Tick Tok messing with him is one thing...but his kids? BRIDGET'S kids? Ooooh, it is ON between Hook and that Croc! He probably messed the animal up so badly, Tick Tok 'retired' to a little pool in the cove and never came out again!
Hook: "Keep. Your. Teeth. AWAY from MY KIDS, you blasted reptile! UNDERSTAND?!"
Thanks for the ask! :D
