Honestly, charming picks up the dad role so easily while snow kinda struggles to be a mom to Emma and then she kinda just gives up after a while. Snow also doesn't really have many interactions with hook, I mean it's her daughter's future husband and she barely ever even talks to him, even Regina has more screen time with hook than snow does. David and hooks relationship is goals tho, I love their banter, even when they are on opposite sides
Emma and Snow began as friends during the first curse. Emma and David barely knew each other during the curse. It would naturally be more difficult for Snow to change the interaction (and Emma did not make it easier). Besides, I wouldn't necessarily call being overprotective of a 30ish daughter, more like parenting than being supportive of a daughter's relationship. Personally, as a daughter not much younger, I would rather have Snow's reactions than Davids.
Helene M I’d have to disagree. It was weirdly apparent that as a parent David always had the upper hand compared to Snow. Snow wasn’t a bad mom. But she was just a bit-absent at times. Whereas David was a constant throughout the seasons the minute he found out Emma was his daughter. He snatched up the grandfather role, was always first in line whenever Emma needed someone, and seemed at times to actively reach out to her more than Snow. It can be seen when David wants to jump though the portal to be with his daughter he wasn’t allowed to see and when Emma’s powers went haywire in the Frozen season. Snow was quick to back away her son from Emma (though I’ll admit so was David; that’s just instinct) but was even quicker to go after her and tell her he didn’t care how her powers were. He would be there and support her regardless. TBH Snow was in the background not doing as much. XD But we all have different opinions on the matter. 😂
I think there are many reasons why Emma is closer to her Dad than her Mom. 1. Emma’s first impression of Charming was poor due to David Nolan breaking Mary Margaret Blanchard’s heart in season 1. Also, they weren’t very close. So when Emma came back from the Enchanted Forest in Season 2, she saw a very different man. Charming was a kind, dependable, and DECISIVE leader who lead the town in her absence effectively after the curse, and also took care of Henry while she was away. So it was a positive beginning for Charming to get to know his daughter. Contrast that to Snow, who while had a closer relationship during the curse (being Emma’s best friend). I believe that actually made it harder for Emma to accept Snow as a parent compared to Charming. Emma loved Mary Margaret so when Snow reappeared the differences were harsh and negative to her. Leading Snow to have a bad start with her relationship with Emma going forward. 2. Charming and Emma both have similar personalities and world view. They both are headstrong, stubborn aggressive, and caring individuals who will do anything to protect the people they love. They also are more willing to do nasty tasks to save their love ones. For example, Charming was campaigning for Regina to be given the death sentence to protect the kingdom in the Season 2 flashback while Snow wanted to spare her. Also Charming was willing to execute the mermaid if necessary in Season 3. As for Emma, she was willing to maim the lost boy to get Henry back, that Snow recoiled at. Also it was her idea to steal the watches back in the first place during the Tallahassee episode to protect Neal and her’s future. Also Emma understood why Charming kept his secret during the Neverland arc. She seemed to get that it was to stay focused on the mission to save Henry and not on him. Also many people have commented how similar Charming and Emma are: “It seems you have inherited your father’s tunnel vision..” -Snow White Season 3 “You have your mother’s chin, Ms Swan...and your father’s tact”- Rumplestiltskin Season 2 So while Snow and Emma have gone through some similar trials, they have very different views on life. Snow is more idealistic(too be fair so is Charming) and believes in hope and a happy ending. While Emma during a lot of the series, is more pessimistic and can’t understand why Snow can be that optimistic in their situations. 3. Charming also was forced a role on him, same as Emma. He was forced to be a prince, while her a savior. So they can understand each other from that angle. 4. Snow is more pushy in the beginning about being Emma’s parent (not so much in the end, which sucks), which was hard for Emma to process. She went from her best friend to Mom in minutes. While Charming’s approach was for Emma to come to him, while saying he’ll always be there when she needs him(which seemed to work since by the end of the show, she only goes to him for advice and comfort and not Snow) . I think it’s because the lack of relationship in Season 1, Charming was able to understand that he was a stranger to her. While I think Snow subconsciously thought they would get even closer because of the relationship in the beginning(which was not the case). 5. When Baby Neal was born, Snow kind of got swept in the raising a child from scratch thing, that she kind of stopped paying attention to Emma’s emotions (not on purpose), and Charming was still able to spend time with Emma, so they got more closer than ever. 6. It also does help that Charming is good friends with Hook (Emma’s husband) and Snow barely seems to talk to him. 7. It seemed by the end of the show, Snow stopped trying which is unfortunate, but it’s the reality. Literally in one episode in season 6, instead of comforting her daughter after Hook leaves, her and Regina plan a girl’s night to get Emma drunk and forget her problems. The only person in the situation that tries to help Emma in a healthy way is Charming. It felt like by the end, Regina and Snow were closer than Emma and Snow, which is super sad because I loved Snow and Emma’s relationship in the beginning. So while I do believe Snow and Emma love each other, they do not understand each other and were very estranged by the end. Charming and Emma were very close by the end and were one of the best parent-child relationships on the show.
Daisy Rose 1966 Wow, that was a great analysis. I do remember (vaguely) that "girls night out" that Snow took the girls on. I thought that was out of character and seemed more like the Mary Margaret from Season 1 trying to be "buddies" w/Emma. 😕
Without a doubt. It's why I wished Jen stayed on the show longer maybe she would've joined Henry on his adventure in the other realm and she'd meet Ella and Lucy. And hope would grow like Robbin
charming being a protective dad is the cutest shit in the world! It’s literally my favorite thing ever. He missed out on so much in her life and he can’t stand losing her or seeing her get hurt. He will do anything to make sure he doesn’t lose her again. And he’s trying to make up for lost time at the same time.
@@aliciasimmons7142 i literally was about to comment this. and it's even funnier because Sebastian was on the show and dated Jennifer irl too. good times.
I ADORE Emma and her dad's relationship! And I love those moments where he gets to be her overprotective dad despite their age! Also love how much hook and David's relationship grew!
Am I the only one who thinks David was more parenty than snow? I just always thought snow was more like a friend Than a mother to her but David acted sooo much like a protective dad 😂
I just realized that both Emma and Henry have a siblings that are a lot younger than them, wherein their child are elder than their uncle/aunt. Emma with baby Neal, Henry with Hope. Henry with his uncle Neal, and Lucy with her Aunt Hope.
I LOVED THIS. It’s really sad that they never got to have all those little moments of parenting so the fact that David and Snow (but escpecially David) got to make up for it even in both their adult years is so precious.
I really wish we could see more of this but instead of David being overprotective dad of Emma it’s Killian being overprotective dad of Hope. Considering the fact we’ve all seen Hook’s humor and would love to see him give the mother load of it to his daughter✨
Lol David reminds me of my dad so much. Especially when I started dating my fiance. Also please make a video about Snow acting like a mom because that would be so adorable
I adore this. I cant stop laughing. You never realize the small things when watching the show. Im going to pay more attention next time I watch it. They are so good at their roles! Esp when the camera isn't solely on them!
Emma: What about the monster that attacked me in New York? Hook: You mean the monster you almost married? Daddy Charming: You almost got MARRIED? Hook: Did you miss the part where she said ‘monster’? 😆 😂😂😆
Emma:sound like the monster in New York. Hook:The monster you were gonna marry. David:You were gonna marry. Hook:Did you just missed the part that i say a monster. 😂😂😂😂😂
David: let me give you a little bit of a vice hook she's never going to like U Priest: do you Killian Jones take Emma Swan to be your lawfully wedded wife Hook: I do Priest: and do you Emma Swan take Killian Jones to be your lawfully wedded husband Emma: I do David: god dammit
this man is literally what my dad is haha: loves humour, protective and funny loves to make jokes and show me he loves me in sometimes extreme ways haha
Don t know why but I definitely feel like this would be how my dad would act: making jokes is his fav hobby, he likes to mock me and he is overprotective and jealous sometimes so yes it s him and me hahah
Ok but David is so funny!! He tries so hard and it’s so funny watching him being overprotective 😂🤣 Like dude it’s cute that you’re trying and all but uhm.... you aren’t scaring anyone lmao
