So Disney’s latest live-action remake that no one asked for came out this week in the form of Peter Pan & Wendy. As of today the film has gaslit, gatekept, and girlbossed its way to a 15% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 4.2/10 on IMDB. Let’s break it down.

Yes. Exactly. Very smart observation. They should find a way to empower femininity itself not just having a vagina and then being a man with it. It's like they already decided that men have it figured out, being a boy and then a man is the right way to be and being a feminin nurturing soul, a future mother ist nothing but a BREEDING COOKING SLAVE (Not acknowledging that you would "breed" and "nurture" your own beloved family but if you work for strangers it's empowering. So. Stupid. So backwards. My girlfriend (who has become conservative now with me in this relationship over time) has recently been offended because I said "man I wish to be in the garden and working for us with my hands and creating beautiful things for us with my own labor. And then you would bring me snacks and something to drink out that would be so wholesome" . She was INSTANTLY offended with a "wow......." Not realizing that 1) I work for US way harder in that moment so actually I would be the oppressed one 2) that there is no fucking oppression at all going on in the first place!! And 3) that everything she thinks is attractive on a man like having the ability to build something or doing hard Labor for his family willfully has the exact equivalent in the feminin realm. WE find it attractive when women are nurturing and trying to serve us as well. That's not patriarchy. That's not oppression. That's being a team and a family that loves so much that it wants to serve and provide.

what's funny is that feminists think this is what lifts women up, makes them strong, when actually they're still just gloryfying men, because they're basically saying that a woman can't be strong and inspiring unless she becomes a man, or acts like the man, or has the same physical capabilities as a man. In the end you're still just making men out to be the better gender and it's honestly so fucking funny

Wendy is gentle, nurturing, soft spoken and loving, she is one of the most feminine characters, she reminds the boys that they can't stay there forever and wakes them up from their trance like state without being harsh or mean. She embodies the mother and makes them miss home. All the kids see a mother in her. She's pure and kind. That's why I like her so much. Why is that apparently not good enough? That's divine feminine. Why are women only good enough when they act like men?

Actually the lost boys being all boys does matter because lore wise only boys were able to be “lost” because girls had more common sense and were smarter. This is why Wendy was so important, she represented maturity and a feminine loving perspective that the boys never had.

And these were messages that Walt Disney, a man, wanted to get across. The bright side of growing up and embracing manhood, the importance of a motherly figure and woman's touch, appreciation for well-meaning albeit humanly imperfect fatherly discipline, and love for the family and home. Walt knew better how to highlight values of femininity without shaming masculinity. If anything, his version embodied empathy, understanding and union between both.

They changed Wendy from being a literal mother figure as she is supposed to be, and as is the WHOLE POINT of the story! They fail because they made Wendy INTO Peter Pan. Peter Pan is the spirit of childhood freedom and adventure, the boy who never grows up, constantly being pursued by Captain Hook, the spirit of bitter adulthood, cruel responsibility, and the _Fear of Death_ *tick tick tick* awareness of one's mortality! Wendy is the only girl _chosen_ to come to Neverland BECAUSE of her mothering nature, because she knows stories to tell the lost boys, Lost Boys who desperately want a mother, and learns that she wants that life of her OWN not just playing pretend and that growing up and having the authentic experience of adulthood *_IS WORTH IT._* But instead this Wendy has to validate her insistence that the right path for her is to spend her days going on adventures, only to write about them and making no deeper connections as she is _happy_ to die completely alone. (projecting much, writers?) *JUST LIKE PETER PAN.* An admirable yet tragic figure as he can NEVER grow up and will NEVER understand to enjoy the real world on deeper levels like Wendy does, and like the FORMER Lost Boys do at the end, as they get a happy ending by finding their purpose and growing up to LIVE. When you're a child, you want to be Peter Pan. When you're growing up, you know you can't. When you're an _adult, you _*_know you shouldn't be._* _"To die would be an awfully big adventure."_ -Peter Pan *_"To LIVE would be an awfully big adventure."_* -J.M. Barrie (as The Narrator at the end of the Play.)

It's ironic. In the original story, Wendy serves as a feminine counterbalance yet still upholds a sort of leadership role. This version basically dismisses any power that femininity holds and claims that girls/women can only be "super" if they behave exactly the way that boys do, rather than embracing their own innate capabilities.

Tinkerbell was a firecracker FULL of personality! She was super jealous and protective of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys. She was full of attitude and sass. Peter Pan was known for his bravery and fearlessness, which beautifully harmonized the dynamic between him and Wendy, who was the "Mother" figure. She was nurturing and caring and brought a sense of comfort and order to the otherwise chaos and immaturity of the boys. Absolutely NOTHING in this version resonates with the original. Another Disney disappointment.

Jealousy, sass, and attitude are all normal emotions and characteristics in people and by showing that gives the character depth and dimension.

If I remember correctly, Lost Boys and Peter was immature and just doing whatever they want. Wendy was the voice of reason and trying to get the boys break away from those habits. Tinker Bell don't like strangers due to always wanting to be capture for her magic. Wendy eventually becomes homesick and Peter didn't want her to leave and become a Lost Boys and never get old or have worries. Wendy wanted to have a family and grow old with them which is why she left. That was the driving point of Wendy character. This is what made Wendy special to the plot and what she got the Lost Boys to understand that being young and playing forever isn't a fulfilling life.

Wendy was a damsel in distress & a charismatic mother-figure & Tiger Lily didn't have much of a role at all & both of them were not tomboys.

I am a black 18-year-old girl and I’m so mad what they did. There’s nothing wrong with having a diverse cast what they could’ve done was of course keep the lost boys or boys but then just have boys of different ethnicities and races Keith Peter Pan how he did in the original, and as much as I love your history, she is such a beautiful, talented actress. It’s sad that they did her so dirty in this movie.. especially keeping her dull, and just turning her into a another silly agenda to push through her, like the whole, hearing my voice thing. It was so corny the whole time I was bored I had to skip throughout the whole movie. I also think there’s nothing wrong about trying to fix their mistakes with the Native Americans but tiger lilies.

Wendy is canonically a mom by the end of the original book and play. And was always meant to be from the story's beginning. I'd go as far as to say that one theme going on in it is that being a mom is a higher calling than swashbuckling adventures where boys play with swords.

What I love about the girlboss trope is that it's done so horribly. They'll try and gaslight you by saying "you just don't like seeing strong women" when in reality, they're just poorly done. I watch anime, there's tons of insanely strong, yet still feminine characters, who are often times stronger than the guys. Disney just writes male characters, takes away their family jewels, then calls them a "strong female lead".

@@Mordring I'm a fan of old movies, so my favorite is Maid Marian from The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). Marian wasn't a sword-slinger or archer in that one, but she had strong Christian principles, and the almighty spine to back them up. She became a spy in John's household, and even planned and arranged Robin's rescue from execution. And when she was finally caught and brought before a tribunal, she demanded her rights under law. But not for one damn second did she stop being a lady, nor was she implied to be weak just because she didn't brawl with the boys. Olivia de Havilland, the actress, was a very strong woman in her own right, and every inch a feminine lady.

I adored the original Wendy, she was adventurous and creative, and sure she liked boyish things like sword fights but that didnt take away from her pure and nurturing persona that attracted Peter and the rest of the lost boys to her. The story was about her finding value in who she is, not becoming another (better!) boy. If you want a great Peter Pan movie watch the 2003 version or Finding Neverland which is the story of how it came to be. Thats what the story is meant to be.

And the thing is, yes - There were little girls that acted just like Wendy in this film. But the whole point of choosing Wendy in the story is _because_ she's much more motherly and nurturing than rowdy and adventurous like the little boys. The Wendy in this version wouldn't even have been picked since it bares no purpose, however Wendy in the story was chosen since she had enough patience and comfort she could give to those who never had those given to them. That's the point of her being motherly; it's to be the figure of maturity they never had.

This movie had nothing to do with what J.M. Barrie intended with this story. He was a lost boy himself in a way. He despaired at the inevitability of losing your innocence and the magic you see in the world as a child when you grow up. He was very in touch with his inner child. He befriended a woman, a single mother, and often visited her and played in the garden with her children. The story of Peter Pan was a result of these imagined adventures. The characters are gleaned from Sylvia's children, John, Michael and Peter. Peter is the inner child in Wendy that refuses to grow up and Captain Hook is her father that wants to force her to grow up. That is the essence of their antagonism...there was never supposed to be a story behind it because it is an abstract idea come to life in the forms of Hook and Peter in Wendy's mind. Neverland is the "place" where Wendy keeps her imagination, her "wonder" if you will. So Neverland is Wendy's sense of childhood wonder. Hook is her father. And Peter is her inner child. Peter was never supposed to be the bad guy nor Hook have a backstory of why he was in Neverland because they were never supposed to be rounded characters as they are simply allegories, symbols, that represented how Wendy felt about the inevitability of her womanhood approaching. Her father being the image of adulthood and a rather dull and depressing one that she eschewed. So, Wendy was always a strong young woman also at grips with the advent of her womanhood - and at the end she comes to terms and is ready to grow up, yet she seems to not think that relinquishing her sense of wonder in the world is necessary to do that - even in the Disney cartoon, right after she states that she is ready to grow up, she looks up at the ship-shape cloud in the sky, eyes still seeing magic in the world, and she even reels in her parents into it, and for a moment, they too are like children again. Her father, whom she fashioned Captain Hook after, suddenly forgets he is Mr. serious working adult for a moment and gets this glint in his eyes that he lost a long time ago and says "you know I think I've seen that ship before, a long time ago, when I was very young". And for a moment, he remembers his own childhood wonder, the innocent bliss that comes with it and sat there with his wife and daughter to admire the clouds and see shapes in them, as children. That was what J.M. Barrie wished to express. I mean you're talking about a guy that enjoyed playing with kids as a kid himself. Peter Pan is more a message to adults than to children - about not relinquishing you inner child so completely, like Mr. Darling, who is constantly spazzing about work related issues and social status. What in the world does Disney thinks its doing by maiming his story to tell one of their own, one that has nothing to do with adults stopping for a moment and remembering how wonderful the world looked when we were children, (or telling children: you're gonna grow up but it doesn't mean you have to let go of your innocence). How sad. Walt Disney too would be rolling in his grave along with J.M Barrie.

But she was able to confirm she didn't want to conform to Peters ideals of being a child forever. The lost boys also learned so much from Wendy. They also realized what they lost by leaving their mothers/ parents before they were mature enough to truly be on their own. This modern Wendy might have saved the boys for a minute in a stupid sword fight But 1953 wendy gave the boys skills to save & think for themselves with her wit for a lifetime.

There's nothing wrong with women being kind, soft spoken and motherly. Wendy is strong in her own way, which is that she's kind and loving to her brothers and the Lost Boys no matter how rowdy they are. I loved how she never yells or loses her temper (except for that mermaid scene, but to be fair they were literally trying to drown her) but still stands her ground when the boys don't listen. She also doesn't retaliate against Tinkerbell's insults, and rather still treats the fairy with kindness, which I think is a good example for girls. I don't understand how that isn't considered strong anymore.

@@Creekersqueaker People who say it's "problematic" don't really understand the film. EVERY character in Neverland is represented from the perspective of children's fantasies and child's play. Pirates are real, but the Neverland pirates are not like real pirates. The same is true for the Indians. They literally play hunting games with the Lost Boys where they let each other go. The Indians are depicted how a child (British children who have never met real Native Americans) would depict them in their play. People separate the Indians from the pirates, mermaids,and fairies when they shouldn't. Neverland is NOT our world for a reason. Making the Indians historically accurate is antithetical to what Neverland is. They NEED to be simple caricatures like everything else. That's Neverland.

As bizarre as it sounds, the original cartoon pays homage to pedophilia of young boys as animators sneaked or slipped in a coded symbolism for it in the animated version. I don't want to spend money to look to see if they included it in this new version. Knowledge of the elite's hidden-in-plain-sight secret symbolism for male pedophilia is a triangle within a triangle while that for underage girls is a heart within a heart. For most people attracted to the story of Peter Pan it is the whimsical and fun, being able to fly and visit adventurous lands that appeals to them but the core hidden concepts in the story are more suited for NAMBLA or the likes. For instance captain hook was a lost boy but now is old and getting older with time/tic tok the alligator always waiting to consume him. And just the concept of lost young boys on an island bring to mind Epstein island, for instance.

I watched the cartoon and the Robin Williams films when I was a child, and I enjoyed them. In the last month I read, one chapter a night for some days, the original novel to my son. It was a whole lot darker than I anticipated. Wendy being a mother was basically the most important aspect of the story. The boys wanted a mother, Peter wanted a mother, the pirates even offered to not kill Wendy if she would agree to be their mother! Theoretical adult male pirates were still clearly boys at heart. Wendy after returning home went for a short period each year, if Peter remembered, to do spring cleaning for him and as she got older her daughter and then her daughter's daughter did the same for Peter. The idea of what Disney turned that story into... my husband called it stupid, I said it was far, far too awful to be summarized by just calling it stupid. Normally I just ignore Disney, but having the original so fresh in my mind, its genuinely way worse than stupid. They actively take material and try to use it to demonize the source material. They can't just dislike the past, they try to use that history to actively attack what it was. Edit: Additionally, Wendy brings the lost boys back home and her parents adopt them all so they can grow into adulthood. Except for Peter, because he refuses to grow up. Its... taking away the idea that she'd want to be a mother... feminism really, really hates femininity.

I pointed out a while ago that having other girls in never land defeats the big point to the story. And it underminds te role that wendy played. A boy who doesnt want to grow up so he runs away to a magical land with a fairy, where he doesnt have to. He gets lonely and doesnt know why so he thinks to himself ill get friends, so he gets the lost boys, all was good and all was well, nothing ever changed. They played, and lived forever, up untill wendy showed up, and she reminded them of that one thing that they all missed when they are playing house. Wendy was the mom, they realized they all missed their moms. Wendy reminded them of that by telling them stories. When wendy left, the lost boys didnt want to stay anymore. Leaving peter and tink alone in neverland to live forever. Under and behind the fantastical story that is peter pan, its just a story about the importance of parents, growing up and acceptance. Some can do it, and some cannot. Some can do it, and still they choose and will not. While some just cant, and yet still they try. edit: this was just my way of looking at the story. Its always been my favorite story, i was pter pan every year for holloween up untill i was like 11 and the it was a ninja. Needless to say, alas, i am not a big fan of these changes they have made. edit: not to mention it was wendy that inspired peter to finaly face hook instead of running from him. He and the lost boys even said that hook had previously put other lost boys that got capture to the gallows. Indicating or at least implying that peter couldnt or wouldnt save them. But for wendy that changed. And same goes for the indian's, they were at war with them untill wendy showed up, she helped make peace. The fact that she was a girl and one of the only girls aside from the girls OF never land, via indians, which are debating if they are even real, is a huge fact that fed the whole arc of the story.

Another thing I notice in these new renditions is the blurring of the line between good and evil; while in these tales the good and evil in characters is more black and white than in real life individuals, they are effectively representative of the objective good and evil that DOES exist in real life. These movies used to teach us why good is better than evil and now they have been twisted to make children ignorant to the discerning of these two things.

Wendy able to defeat grown man with sword fight is ridiculous. Especially, when her only experience with sword fight was when she played with her brothers. I guess Grown Man = Boy.

@khfan4life365

I love that they got rid of Wendy's gentle, nurturing personality that taught the lost boys about how important and natural it was to grow up. Which led the change in them. I adore how they got rid of the fact that the reason there were no girls who were lost was because girls were too smart to get lost. I love that they made everyone much less likable versions of themselves, even when they try to make Hook a more tragic character, all they manage to do is destroy Peter's character without improving Hook at all. Why does Disney think "modern audiences" want terribly written stories with forced diversity and bad messages that don't really stand the test of time like the original ones did? I’m sorry, but nothing in this movie was inspired. I was bored throughout the entire thing. Law's performance was great, but it's not enough to save this movie. Tinkerbell had no real personality-even Peter apparently can't understand her anymore despite them having been friends for many, many years. Wendy, of course, can take on full grown men in actual sword fights because she pretend dueled with her little brothers with wooden swords. Tiger Lily insists on speaking her native language, even to people who don't understand it-when she knows English and knows that they can't speak her language. This movie is very bland. Neverland is missing pretty much all of its charm, and there's very little color in this movie. Also, I wasn't convinced Tinkerbell actually cared about anything happening, even in scenes where it's assumed she'd be upset. They made Peter much less charming, not only due to the acting, but just the actions and dialogue given to the character. Wendy had no real reason to slap him like that, but it's framed like she's in the right because, I don't know, go, girlboss Wendy, with her happy thoughts of growing old and dying alone.

😩😩😩😩😩😩 this was a story about boyhood. Growing up (or rejecting the obligation to grow up) as a boy/man. It's about being a lost boy, not seeing the way to adulthood clearly and instead finding your leader in a Figure who completely shed his responsibility of becoming an adult and does whatever he wants to. It's having so little to do with women/girls (because you are too childish and undesirable to them) that you don't even really know what a girl is. It's a Story of a "i want to do everything i want to do with my imaginary Fairy-girlfriend"-boy coming in contact with a normal earthly real girl, who does ultimately NOT want to be a part of this lets just do what ever we want world. Who ultimately understands her earthly life and the real adult like pathway through it. It shows the tragedy of a man who refuses to grow up while not denying but showing the benefits of this being a child for ever, but the biggest flaw of this pathway: That it's not real. BUT HEY F*** this story about boyhood. It's girlboss time yet again, slap the sh*t out of that peter f**boy Cause overpowered fierce bossbabe in training is here!

I remember seeing the trailer and just thinking about how GRAY it is. It seems like they just took the saturation to the lowest level on the scale as an effort to make it modern or adultish or something. One of the biggest things that is lacking in modern entertainment is MAGIC. The story of Peter Pan is magical and colorful! The best example of an adaption/sequel being done well is Robin Williams’ Hook. That movie was MAGICAL. The sets were incredible, the effects were slightly dated but exciting, and the whole movie made you want to jump into the story with the characters! Peter Pan and Wendy looks so drab and depressing, no adult would want to watch it, let alone a kid.

In the book it is true that Peter is painted as an antagonistic figure because he’s SO immature that he often neglects the Lost Boys and Tink, leaving them to wonder if he’s died somewhere. He’s completely self absorbed and self aggrandizing, but it plays into the theme of growing up and serves a purpose. Also he did feed Hook’s hand to the tic tok croc in the book and he tells it as a grand exploit. But again, these things tied into a theme in the book. This retelling makes everything meaningless.

Peter Pan represented the worst of being a child. Children can be incredibly heartless and that’s why he was the way he was, because he was a child who never grew up and never wanted to, and that showed the dangers of that desire. But he wasn’t utterly evil. Why did this movie make it about a battle between male and female? Why did Wendy have to take his powers?

Peter Pan is a pretty chaotic character. In the books he’s abusive to the lost boys and is even insinuating that he steals some boys away from their families. He’s supposed to be wild and immature and in need of a mother. There are so many great studies on this book and it’s one of my favorites of all time. This movie did what it wanted to do and that’s fine. There are so many different adaptations of peters story. The movie wasn’t great but it’s also not the first to change the main story.
