Peter Pan & Wendy DESTROYED By Fans PANICS Critics Reviews

Peter Pan & Wendy is the latest live-action animation adaptation from Disney. This "re-imagination" for a modern audience on Disney+ is peak modern entertainment. It has everything professional critics want, and solves every issue the entertainment journalists have asked for, but it's not Peter Pan. Tinkerbell, Captain Hook and Peter Pan all return for this Disney remake, but is it worth watching?

Peter Pan & Wendy is out on Disney+ for the Peter Pan live action re-imagining that no-one asked for and even fewer wanted. It was predicted what this movie would be like from the very first trailers, but I actually think it's worse. This video is a bit of a new style for a review video, a merge of sorts, so let me know what you think of it! Everyone was changed in this movie, Peter Pan was stripped of his heroic deeds, hook was turned into a whimpering emotional wreck, Wendy was turned into a super powered Rey imitation while Tinkerbell lost all her personality. Tiger Lily? Unfortunately stripped of any narrative reason to even be in the movie. This is simply an act of corrupt vandalism from creators who see the past as a list of problems to be "fixed". And yet when they do it, no-one, even the very critics ASKING for these changes, likes the results. Is it time to change? Let me know what you think of Peter Pan & Wendy down below, and as always, thanks for watching :)

[@Invalidcookie-bv4cx]

It was always Wendy movie :p The writers took that away from "Wendy". Think back to the original, Wendy was the POV character, Peter was the 'hero' but it was from wendys POV. Wendy was the first Female they'd seen on Neverland. If anyone can be a LOST BOY then it doesn't matter that Wendy is there, init? The reason why they looked up to Wendy is because they were reminded of their mother. Even Hook wanted Wendy because the Pirates missed their mother. "Did they fix the problem of the old canon"? No. They destroyed the point to even have the movie. In attemt of making Wendy a Hero they made her, not the her no the hero 😂 😂

I always leaned toward the female characters back then... i love the 2003 live action with every atom of my body, cuz it felt so real, so profound, never read the original tale (i'm brazilian, so this is usually how we have contact with this tales), but i don't think it deviates from it, since the message about growing up is so well portrait there.

[@tranquilthoughts7233]

The thing is, in the original book Hook actually had a tragic backstory and an intricate connection with Peter Pan. He was a child in england and had an extremly strict upbringing. However, by character he was more of an aestetic. He was quite sensible and with high emotional intelligence being crushed by his rigorous and overbearing parents. He then fled from home to become a pirate, essentially fleeing into the opposite extreme. Later on he became the captain of the pirates and chanced upon neverland. And there he encountered Peter Pan, the very embodiment of carefree childhood, the embodiment of everything he so desperatly wished for when he was a child. However, Hook at this point is an adult and thus Peter Pan is utterly incapable of understanding Hook and just treats everything like a game. Even when he cuts off Hooks hand and feeds it to the crocodile it's just a game to him. And while this serves as the trigger, hooks obsession with Peter Pan is because of what Peter Pan represents.

[@user-gn6jc2yn9c]

They ruined Wendy's entire character. She was the matured one, the kind one, and the most loved person. She loved her brothers deeply and protected them from their father. She loved the Lost Boys despite their aggressive ways of playing and their stupid antics. And she loved Peter despite the fact that they have vastly different views about growing up and growing old. Wendy never screamed, was never violent, and never blamed anyone for her faults.

This came out 2 days before his birthday and he was looking forward to it. We sat down as a family and watched it. My wife, who does not spend much time on her phone, was on her phone 20 minutes in and just watched periodically. I kept waiting for it to get good. It didn’t. My 4 other kids were bored to tears. My Peter Pan fan was devastated. He hated it. He said it wasn’t fun. He said it was dark and dreary like the weather outside. He then spent about 30 minutes telling me everything he disliked about it. The best thing he said: it tried to be entertaining but I would rather watch a bear poop in the water

[@vetarlittorf1807]

Honestly, how was Wendy not already seen as a strong character? In the original she was a motherly figure who always stood her ground when faced with injustice. She was the one who drew from her experience in Neverland when she realized how awful it would be to never grow up and that change is inevitable but doesn't have to be bad. Wendy is not supposed to be a fighter. Her strengths are her bravery, humility, responsibility and emotional growth. When is Hollywood going to realize that strength comes in many forms? Also, what is up with her ending? This movie implies that she will die as a lonely old dried-up sock with no family of her own and that we're supposed to be happy for her because she can play a piano and has some typewriter-related job instead of being a mother (which was never implied to be her only profession in the source material at all). Is Disney trying to tell girls that giving birth and nurturing are sinful acts? Are they saying that children should think their mothers are weak for being mothers? Disney disgusts me. In the 2003 version, she got a much more satisfying ending, albeit very bittersweet, where she grew up, married, and had a daughter named Jane who also went on a life-changing adventure in Neverland (and the cycle continued with Jane's daughter Margaret). It was a beautiful moment that showed how even though we must all leave our childhood, we will never forget it.

[@randomfools808]

They took out pretty much all of her motherly traits starting with that scene where she blames her brother. When she rises up, her happy thoughts do not involve starting a family. She grows old and is shown alone. Great message Disney.

[@kingandrewcecil348]

Agree. In fact, in the 1953 animated classic, Wendy is in fact the reason what made the maturity-hating Peter Pan to finally put aside his dislike of growing up in favor of saving Wendy, John, Michael and the Lost Boys from Captain Hook and his pirate crew and taking the Darling siblings home despite Peter himself wanting them to stay in Neverland. Which means, ironically in the original cartoon Peter learned to grow up despite being an ageless kid thanks to Wendy, while his archenemy Captain Hook, despite being a grown adult, is the one who acts very childishly like a spoiled brat unlike Peter Pan himself. These haters are seriously missing the point of the 1953 animated classic 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦

[@vetarlittorf1807]

@@kingandrewcecil348 I never saw Hook that way. I always thought of Hook as a symbolism of everything that Wendy feared about growing up and also a mental projection of her father issues (after all, the ending implies that Neverland was just a dream). The conflict between Peter and Hook is basically a battle between Wendy's childhood and adulthood. And with Hook defeated, Wendy is finally ready to grow up and reconciles with her father.

​@@mikerosoft1009 honestly, at this point, Peatress pan wouldn't necessarily be the worst thing, IMO. Consider that the main tragedy of Peter is one of not growing up - so the woke feminists would be forced to confront their own unwillingness to grow up, and to what it leads (e.g., inappropriate relations with minors). And if peatress does grow up, it would lead to the same realizations of Robin William's Peter pan: an adult has to compromise, be dutiful, be mindful of others, etc. - so if a wokeist were to realize that, it would be a first in cinema. And if you are saying, that's just a gender bend - yes, but in that case a necessary one, to use the "self-projection" character of Peatress pan as a mirror for the self-obsessed wokeists. And that only works if the character is an actual mirror. Of course, all would depend on who writes and directs peatress pan.

As a women who is a huge fan of the original Disney Peter Pan I actually think Wendy had a perfect role in the original. She was motherly and helped Peter and the lost boys in an impactful way. Wendy had a great balance of being one of the main characters but also still being a stranger in Neverland. Having Peter Pan be watered down so that Wendy can be seen as a more strong character is insulting. If they explored her nurturing/family side more then I feel like it could be interesting. Like showing how much she cares for her brothers or how the lost boys feel comforted by the idea of a motherly figure and maybe want to go back home to find their parents. I don’t know, I just can’t understand why Disney is basically insultingly ruining their original library of classic films. And while I am technically part of Gen Z I think any diversity just for the sake of it can ruin things, because they focus too much on it and not the story itself. We need to tell great, rich, and thoughtful stories again, that’s the Disney I miss.

They’re strong, smart, rebellious for things that matter. Also like to point out that despite me being very fucking white (polish) I still loved princesses of a different race… I looked up to them, admired them, wanted to be them, so why is the argument that POC kids don’t have anyone to look up to? So they need to black wash every historically white character written by European authors, inorder for POC kids to feel something positive, despite there being amazing POC princesses since the 90’s what’s funny too, IMO all of the POC princesses were written has strong, smart amazing girls that kick ass, while all the white characters aside from Belle were some form of damsel in distress, useless etc… yet the woke mob didn’t notice that hey?

[@amberkumar4514]

Peter Pan is an antagonist in the original Disney version. The issue is that they watered Wendy down to a weird masculine version, when it’s impossible to keep the moral of the story without the romance and Wendy’s frustration that Peter isn’t growing up to accept her affections. It’s why Tink and Tiger Lily feel like props in the 2023 version- they, too, lack what caused conflict between them and Wendy, which was jealousy. Peter is depicted as an immature boy, which is super irritating to Wendy. He does things she finds to be disrespectful, dangerous, or dumb. But she wouldn’t develop into an adult into the movie if it was obvious from the beginning. His youthfulness is fun, until it’s not.

The point of Wendy was not because she was a girly girl, it was because she was a mother figure. She didn't want to grow up but she had those mothering characteristics. So when she went to Neverland and mothered the lost boys, she realized growing up isn't as bad as Peter thinks it is.

It becomes more and more clear as I watch these empty Mary Sue "empowered" characters that there is nothing these writers hate more than femininity. If you're not the strongest, loudest, most ass-kickingist person in the room, you run the risk of becoming a damsel in distress, apparently; and then some mansplaining manhandling manchild man will have to man-up and save you--and no doubt expect sexual submissiveness as a reward. So the only way to be a fully empower woman is to fully suppress and denigrate your feminine nature, and be one of the boys, I guess. Best of all, don't waste time on any kind of character development or hero's journey; just be sure to be born this way--because the message you definitely want to send young women is "if you aren't already perfect at everything without even trying, you're screwed."

What’s great about the original Disney Animated Version of Peter Pan, is that the same actor voiced the Father (Mr. Darling) and Captain Hook. This takes away Hook’s more menacing presence, as well as the immorality (or moral grayness) of Peter cutting off Hook’s hand and feeding it to the crocodile, by presenting the entire story like a children’s game of make believe. The children are presented as all children rebelling against the responsibility and maturity of growing up. Thus they represent the child in all of us, rebelling against their parents, and the tyranny of adulthood. This is a genius move in the original film, and not something that needed to be updated or changed. Rather, the entire idea, although it was a simple story-telling device, is wonderfully profound! 💚

OG Wendy: character development.. This Wendy: I'M HULKKKKKKKKKK..!!!!!!!

[@AkinokazeHaruichiban]

To be fair about them changing the story to make Pan and Hook friends as kids before kicking him out of the Lost Boys for missing his mum, the original story is pretty clear that the Pirates are grown up Lost Boys. I don't remember if everyone except Pan ages, or if Lost Boys only age when they miss their families, but Pan himself is in a neverending cycle of kidnapping children, kicking them out of his group to become Pirates, and then killing the Pirates.... he's a monster.

[@jim-bob3093]

Wendys roles was to be a mother figure, responsible and caring. And thats part of her taking the boys away from neverland so that they can grow up. And they legit gutted that for some cheap girl boss shit

[@ElasticGiraffe]

Well, women are finally breaking free of the shackles of maternal instinct and of common decency. Universally capable, narcissistic women and woefully incompetent, emasculated men don't have enough representation in media. They only feature prominently in just about everything released.

[@jaceyking5015]

Ah, I remember being a little girl in the late 90's and early 00's, having our Peter Pan vhs tape on constant repeat in my house. What I don't remember is being sad that there were no "lost girls" I didn't need it in the 1990s, kids didn't need it in the 1950s when the film first came out, kids didn't need it 1904 when the play first premiered, and kids don't need it now. Wendy and Tinkerbell were enough.

[@nyetzdyec3391]

But... Kids ARE being TAUGHT to need it... being TOLD that they need it... and it isn't a coincidence.

[@kevingallagher188]

As I've gotten older I understand more and more why people prefer to stick with the things they loved growing up. I look at the music, movies, books, and television of today and either hear myself being insulted or demonized. Watch people ruin the classics I loved and cherish.

[@sammarithinang_pannarith]

The director wanted to make a place where kids want to go to!? It's been awhile since I read the book, but I'm pretty sure Neverland is a euphemism for purgatory, which is why the Lost Boys are a bunch of kids that never came back to life or passed onto heaven or whatnot, which is why these boys were "lost." Way to explain to the audience that you want to see more kids off themselves 🤦🏽‍♂

I thought Jason Isaac's Hook looked great but buckled insufficient swash. But that was about the only thing that wasn't first rate. Why can't these people learn from the successes?

[@vetarlittorf1807]

It's insulting that they didn't cast Jude Law in a dual role as Hook and Wendy's father. The whole point of it is to convey Wendy's father issues.

[@Arthas30000]

One of the many, many faults in this film. That would make a lot of sense, but these people don't understand what metaphors are, what's entertaining, and don't get literature

[@vetarlittorf1807]

@@Arthas30000 But it's not just a metaphor and symbolism. It's also a tradition that dates back to the 1904 play. Even the original Disney classic had the same actor voice both Hook and Mr. Darling. And like I said, the reason is because Hook is meant to be Wendy's mental projection of everything she fears about adulthood, something she associates with her father because of how strict and demanding he is. I also liked how in the animated version it reinforced the ambiguity of whether or not Neverland was just a dream.
