A 15% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. And here I thought this movie was for modern audiences...

My favourite part was when a guy put on a dress and showed Wendy what being a woman was all about.

Disney masculinized Wendy. Disney took away the female imperative and gave her the male archetype.

Disney: “It’ll be fine”.

Disney: “Wait, it’s not fine? How can that be? Quick, fire the writers and hire different writers who will write the same stuff we tell them too. That’ll make it fine.”

My favorite part was when, after Peter and Wendy defeats Hook, Peter picks up his detached hook and says “This hook is literal perfection”. To which Wendy snatches it away from him and says, “It will be….once it fits a woman!”  Riveting.

I loved the part when Disney spend millions and burn their legacy to the ground.

My favourite part was when Wendy dropped her skirt, and Peter replied: 'I see your Schwartz is as big as mine.'

Knowing Disney, it's surprising they didn't go the Peter Pansexual route.

Peter Panned; as in it's awful.

Even in "Hook" from 30 years ago, Pan's "happy thought' was his children. He realized that there was no life fulfilment in his job and understood that his family is what brings him happiness. Fast forward to 2023 and the "happy thought" has nothing to do with family and others, but is completely focused on a narsiccist view of self.

Lara, the Critical Doggo, had the best take on Wendy and Patel Pan.
She was incredibly concise and insightful. I hope she stays as a permanent host for The Open Bar.

As someone else pointed out, I love how Wendy dreamed of flying a WWI-style airplane... when those airplanes didn't exist when she was a child. sigh Disney truly doesn't care about history anymore.

My personal surprise is that they kept the Native American character despite the fact she's a literal stereotype of the Noble Savage gimmick

Not gonna lie, the part where Wendy stood infront of the lost boys and said "is this really the best a man can get?" Then proceeded to shave her downstairs infront of the children was truly empowering

It makes me appreciate Hook so much more and realize even more that Spielberg understood the lore. Peter’s happy thought was his children. He realized that it wasn’t even his love for Moira that made leave neverland, but the vision he had of himself being a father.

The really weird thing is the live-action CGI looks far less effective and more simplistic than the 1953 cartoon. The amount of detail the artists put in the cartoon movie is utterly breathtaking and is the reason so many people adore Disney cartoons.

Hook is a great example of taking a beloved story and giving it their own spin without disrespecting the source material.

Most children watch these Disney classics and see magical fantasy worlds. These writers clearly had twisted childhoods, where they saw something to be corrected.

Remember how Peter was chasing his shadow as part of his introduction as a character? Metaphor of the endless child who refuses to grow up. I love that. 😊

Dying old and alone on a couch with no friends, family or kids around is the 2023 idea of being a proper feminist. The future of the human race looks dim.
