lol, yes, it’s very spoilery. 😆
Now I don’t know whether to include actual spoiler bars or just follow the flow since the rest of the thread isn’t in spoiler bars.
Which wouldn’t be that far removed from how they chose Whale’s name.
Yes, his name does look like Barrie, and he does look more like what I think an adult version of Peter Pan would look like more than MRJ does. Robin Williams, aside, I usually think of Peter Pan, even as an adult, being spry and lightweight.
I’m just not sure about the description that was given about Barrett’s character would fit Peter Pan.
He’s in his 30s, kind and smart, but also has a very dark side and has beliefs and a way of life that he will fight fiercely to defend.
It could I suppose, but it seems like a very ominous description. They could make Peter Pan more darker, but I don’t really see them making him an all out villain which is what I think Barrett will eventually turn into given his character description. Like Lil’ Red, I think he’ll start out as a “good” guy that helps the “good” characters and Rumple and Regina fight Cora and Hook in some way, but they’re also going to lay the groundwork for him to be one of the villains that the “good” guys will have to battle next season. However, I think that he’s going to be the Sandman or a character like that instead of Merlin because of the Netherworld having to do with this season so much, and I feel like that the Netherworld will pop up again this season in an important way.
One thing I can’t seem to shake about his character is that I’m sure that Barrett will have a connection to Neal, who I’m now pretty positive has to be Bae.
Yes, I could see that being possible that Barrett and/or the character of Katrina might be connected to Neal somehow.
A couple of those points could still stand if Bae didn’t necessarily become Peter Pan, but did become one of the Lost Boys. The major sacrifice of my theory would be that it would no longer be the Crocodile’s son who became Hook’s Neverland nemesis, which is a bit of a bummer, because I think that would be fun for them to do.
Yes, I think it would be weird if Nealfire and Barrett did know each other, but Barrett was Peter Pan and Nealfire was just a Lost Boy because it should be Nealfire because of the back story that they gave Hook.
If Barrett was Peter, and he and at least one of the Lost Boys (Bae) got stuck in our world, remained friends as they grew up, but always with Peter being the one in charge in the relationship, that could explain why Barrett would come to SB first, while Neal hasn’t come anywhere near town yet. Perhaps it’s a case of the “big brother” coming to suss things out, instead of letting his “little brother” go walking unprepared, straight into a firestorm of angst that is the town with his former lover and his cursed father.
I could get behind this idea though, and it might not just be that Nealfire doesn’t want to go to Storybrooke, perhaps he tried, but can’t get into Storybrooke because of the Curse, and so Barrett went there to try to help him.
