the peter losing wendy line is like. so fucking intricate. and heavy. peter pan lost wendy because she chose to leave behind the wild, immature, fun life she could've had with him in neverland. james was insecure about his relationship with betty, as we can see from the lines "i was nowhere to be found i hate the crowds you know that/ plus i saw you dance with him" from betty. so this means that james actually felt threatened that betty could leave him and his wild, immature, fun ways for a more stable relationship. we can see the similarities between james and peter in the lines from the studio version and og scrapped version of cardigan "dancing in your levis drunk under a streetlight" and "laughing like a damn fool breaking every damn rule." so basically because james felt threatened that he too could get left behind like peter, he tried to change the ending by betraying betty and cheating on her with augustine. so he wouldn't feel abandoned. and betty clearly knows the reason he cheated and even said that all they needed was to kiss in cars and downtown bars and like. that was literally all. she wouldnt have left him but james went and fucked everything up. way to go james how are you such an asshole
