I bring this up in light of the new Peter Pan and Wendy movie. People are complaining about the changes they made, but a lot of these changes were already made in the pre mentioned webcomic and I don’t think anyone was complaining about that.

Aside minor changes like character’s appearance and gender, they expanded upon the world. The use of shadows alone is super cool. Peter himself is an actual dick but faces consequences. Hook is interesting, her crew is interesting. The Lost Kids are even more tragic. I truly recommend it.

Unfortunately, due to lack of engagement, it got cancelled. It ends on a frustrating cliffhanger and (spoiler alert) the flashfoward we see in the first episode doesn’t come back.

Even in the midst of the great quest for Henry’s heart, a game Peter was so easily winning — as if there had ever been a doubt — there were still lulls. Lazy moments between his last move and the next or waiting for each of his opponents to make theirs. Or else the quiet of night when most of his Lost Boys were either fast asleep or whimpering in the dark. Time to watch and wait, and Pan was easily bored.

Wendy was relatively far safer within the confines of her cage, depending on Peter’s mood. Captive so that Peter could keep his leverage neatly tucked away most of the time, along with the wooden prison serving as protection lest he ever grow too fond. Not that he would ever suggest he wasn’t in control of such things too.<p>
