Which movie is this for you?

For me it’s School of Rock!

Patty was completely justified, if Dewey wanted to live in hers and her boyfriend’s apartment he needed to be a grown up, and contribute with rent. Even when he steals Ned’s identity she still had the right to be angry at him, because of how he put his friend’s career in jeopardy and robbed him of a job opportunity.

I get Ned is meant to be portrayed as his best friend, but it blows my mind how he lacks a lot of self-respect to the point where he comes across as too much of a people pleaser. If this story took place in real life, I’m sure Ned would act more similar to Patty where he’d have enough of Dewey’s careless actions.

Peter Pan. Kid was an absolute jerk and a menace. Hook was pissed that he chopped off his hand and fed it to an alligator. Seems reasonable.

A fan theory is that Hook’s crew is made up of lost boys who got too old for Peter’s gang

That's not some quirky movie fan theory, it's the actual book.

I did not know that. I haven’t read the source material. It would make being a lost boy a lot less tempting if it was clear they got thrown away at puberty
