Peter Pan is now Mongolian.


This race swapping stuff is getting absolutely ridiculous now. They just keep rebooting these I.P's and replacing the white protagonist with a 'person of color'.

J. M. Barrie never described the appearance of Peter Pan much. More attention was paid to how he dressed and behaved. He is an English boy, that is about it.

Peter Pan was played by petite women in stage plays and in early films. Tell us why that is too woke for you?

Alexander Molony is British; isn't that good enough?

I think I've seen Mary Martin as Peter Pan more than any other version as that's what the kids I used to baby sit for had. I've seen Peter Pan on the stage many times the role was always played by a smaller female. The only time it wasn't was in a recent version of Peter Pan Goes Wrong.

Does I.P. stand for intellectual property?

Yes.

I'm sure it'll at least be better than what they did with him in Once Upon a time. That was freaking weird!
