It's actually interesting how Peter Pan is portrayed. I can't actually think of any other characters like him. Obviously there are many who kill hundreds of people (or thousands? who knows how long Peter Pan has been at it for), but unless it's some weird edgelord thing there's at least a story reason for it, even if it's not commented on by anyone in the story. The near-zero edge in combination with the repeated complete omissions of a reason is very uncommon if not unique.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoSo I'm mostly unfamiliar with the story, and it's always bugged me, never my favorite. I don't know if I've seen the complete "classic" productions, like Mary Martin's or Disney's. I've definitely been through the wringer of the ride at Disneyland though. Not a fave. Anyway, I was rather shocked and amazed at this revelation about Peter's murders, and so I peeked at the Wikipedia synopsis, and the Fandom one too. The former almost barely mentions the murders, but it really soft-pedals this, and so you don't get an impression that it's a big deal, because they said it's very ambiguous. So I'm surprised that this article plays it up to that extent. I suppose I could finagle a copy of the original novel with its intricate copyright status, if I were that much interested. But it's a morbid curiosity; I don't think I care much for J. M. Barrie as a person (I read his biography first, that's where you get the most insight about an author's milieu and motivations, and the dude is still a question mark for me.) I am probably distantly related to him, unfortunately; I can think of much better Scots to be in my family.
