People like this are garbage and death of creativity and imagination.
**** them and their ideology. They belong to asylum, nowhere near dictating what and how people should write characters.

I forgot to point out that another one of Tinker Bell’s “problematic characteristics” that came to the attention was her jealousy of Peter’s attention toward Wendy.

Imagine portraying characters with traits of realistic people...

Those freaks are literally new puritans - they want everyone to depict world and humans as idealized sanitized versions of themselves. Which, of course, never worked out, even in totalitarian countries, but those infantile retards don't know history, beyond commie revolution and American slavery, so they judge the world according to their pea brain cognitive abilities.

No-one, and I mean no-one, should take them seriously, like ADL.

The film will be released in 2023, which will mark the 70th anniversary of the original film. Here's the poster.



Jude Law and director David Lowery also did an interview at the D23 Expo.

And it's super important they virtue signal that in the trailer.

Is it wrong to admit that I'd be laughing my *ss off if woketards started amputating one of their hands en masse as a way to virtue signal their support for Captain Hook?

Sure, but you should also feel embarrassed for having the confidence to admit that such an unfunny and autistic thought even came to your mind.

The ability to actually think by myself without relying on a hivemind echo chamber is not something I will ever be embarrassed about. Not everyone can share that privilege.

It seems they want to try to stay truer to JM Barrie's version. I like that Wendy and Tiger Lily will be more active in this version, even though there was nothing wrong with the former in the 1953 animated movie. Also, here's a new poster.

Well, the good news is that I didn't think it was a complete trainwreck like 2015's Pan. I also thought it was better than 2020's Mulan and last year's Pinocchio. Is it an outstanding film, not exactly. However, I did find it enjoyable. There is some solid acting in it and the sword-fighting scenes take me back to my childhood of watching the original. I didn't mind the character makeovers that both Tinker Bell and Tiger Lily received. Wendy was just as much or most likely even more of the protagonist in this film than Peter was. It's like how Jasmine was almost the main character in 2019's Aladdin.

Spoiler:

So, in this version, Wendy is about to go to boarding school. The night that Peter Pan and Tinker Bell come to the nursery is the night before Wendy leaves. The children get into trouble for breaking a mirror in the nursery while playing sword fights. In this version, Tink is not jealous of Wendy and doesn’t try to have her killed. Wendy also gives Peter a kiss in the form of a thimble like in the play and book. When Peter and the Darling Children get to Never Land, Captain Hook, and the pirates fire cannonballs at them and they all get separated. John and Michael are captured by the pirates and Wendy, Tiger Lily, and the Lost Boys and Girls have to save them.

Hook was given a sympathetic backstory. He was the first Lost Boy and Peter's best friend as a child. However, he decided to grow up and leave Neverland to return to his mother. However, that didn't happen and he was adopted by Mr. Smee and the pirates. During the climax, they tried to make Hook redeemable, but he couldn't think of any happy thoughts to save himself from falling into the water. He does, however, survive during a mid-credits scene.

Why can't villains just be villains anymore? Why do they always have to be some misunderstood character that means well?

Manchildren need to project themselves onto characters and want to feel good about how kind they are (in contrast to real world, where the same mouthbreathers call everyone nazi and want to cancel anyone, who as much dare to question their judgement).

Spoiler:

Tiger Lily also doesn't flirt or show any romantic feelings toward Peter at all. He's like a little brother to her.
