Even Hook, while still an unpleasant guy, has shades of genuine affability here, whereas in the movie not so much. They only seem to go along with Hook because he's their Captain, and in some episodes are practically rooting for the kids. Affably Evil: Smee (even moreso than in the movie), Sharky and Bones fit this to a T, half the time you wouldn't even know they're villains.Granted, Hook has always had trouble defeating children, but in this case it is particularly glaring.
