Imagine if CnDRR had portrayed Sweet Pete in a more sympathetic light, and at the end he was given a second chance at an acting career, allowing him to recover and finally become happy again. It would’ve been really poignant and heartwarming, and it would feel like Disney is apologizing for ruining Bobby Driscoll’s life all those decades ago, and saying that this is the life he SHOULD’VE gotten.

But no. Disney instead portrays Peter Pan as an irredeemably evil sociopath who rejects all attempts at a second chance, and at the end he gets horribly mutated and locked up Hannibal Lecter-style, with no attempt to fix or rehabilitate him. What kind of commentary are they trying to make THERE? 

-Sweet Pete has both abandonment and control issues

-he's usually pretty chill actually. Laid back and charismatic

-unless something triggers these issues

-he lost everything before and is terrified of losing it all again.

-He worked so hard to bounce back after D/sney booted him. and although its through illegal means, in his eyes he did what he needed to get back on top.

-and he won't have anyone trying to knock him down again

-(he def needs therapy. And a good support system)

-messing with his business is like trying to take everything from him all over again, it's triggering to him and he's gonna be on edge and quick tempered from it.

-he needs to feel in control because of it. Being in a position of power feels safer for him and he can relax

.-the power has definitely gone to his head tho

-he may have a bit of paranoia

-although he's normally chill, that doesn't mean he's all that lenient with people that owe him

-you have to be at least a bit hardened to the world to make it in L.A.

-sadly, he's the type of person that only remembers the negative things people say to him

-Some of the people working for him (Seth Rogans character for example) clearly think highly of him. And they're comfortable enough around him that it's obvious he's not a bad boss or anything.

-But I think Pete has an issue with not recognizing that as support. Maybe he's on friendly terms with them but he still feels alone/doesn't recognize his employees fondness of him as real support. Possibly because they're on his payroll so they have to be cordial. Or because his mind is just swamped with all the negative shit he hears and the feelings of rejection he still harbors from his past

-maybe he's not totally blind to it, he appreciates appreciates their loyalty. But he doesn't appreciate it enough
