True, his name could be Peter, but that could also be a clue that he was a married man when he was with Emma,
Oh I totally think that Henry’s father was a married man when he got Emma pregnant. That’s why I can’t let the Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater thing go, because that character had a wife, and another woman too. So I’ve wondered for ages if Henry’s father would end up being named Peter, and if they wanna introduce Peter Pan, well then, the name fits.
My problem with Bae being Peter Pan is that I would feel like it’s a retcon if he went to a world that did have magic. Now if they had covered Bae being Peter Pan last season or at least made references to the possibility that where Bae landed might have taken in some place magical once Rumple failed his part of his bargain, I wouldn’t think of it as a major retcon. However, I don’t feel that they did,
I guess I wouldn’t really see it as a major retcon.
Blue Fairy: In this world, yes. You see, what ails your father is specific to our realm. His powers do not belong here. You must go where you can escape this wretched curse.
The way I took that was she’s saying that they have to go somewhere where Rumple’s powers are null and void. That’s the whole purpose of going to another world, it has to be one without magic, so that’s where the bean will send them. But with no Rumple going through the hole, who’s to say that the purpose of going through the hole was now the same, so who’s to say it sent Bae to that non-magical world? Obviously Rumple believed that’s where he went, and he may very well have, but if he didn’t, I don’t think it necessarily contradicts what we’ve been shown.
Not only that, I’m not sure how he would be able to realm jump, I guess because he’s Peter Pan?
Yeah, Peter Pan could fly from Neverland to our world and back.
There’s a lot of other details like that at least for me that wouldn’t quite work out if Bae was Peter Pan. Assuming that he’s Peter Pan and also Henry’s father, I guess I really haven’t seen any clues that point to Emma being his Wendy at all.
Maybe Wendy is the wife he cheated on when he got with Emma? I know it’s not a nice thought for them to corrupt Peter and Wendy’s relationship like that, so they may not go there, but hey, it’s a theory. Because we know the story of Peter Pan and Wendy in our world, that means it happened in the past, so Emma couldn’t be Wendy.
Or did he decide to leave Neverland and come here, and that’s when he met with Emma? How much time would he have spent in Neverland overall because I don’t want him to be that much older than Emma or maybe that much younger still? Why did he leave Neverland since it seems like a perfect place for a Lost Boy?
He could have gone back and forth between worlds, not ageing, for centuries. Then one day he got on Hook’s bad side, and decided that for his own personal safety, he’d be better off staying in our world where Hook couldn’t get him. So he fled here, stayed here, began ageing, and was just the right age to run into Emma.
I know that they could answer all those questions, but I don’t know it just seems more straightforward and easier just to have Bae have landed in our world and end up in a similar situation like Emma was in being kept in care and putting up walls because of his abandonment issues that way if he is her true love, they’ll have a lot in common that no one else does.
My Peter Pan theories doesn’t necessarily depend on him also being Bae, I’m not a hard and fast subscriber to any one theory right now, just kinda juggling ideas around. The more I think about it though, the more I like the idea that Peter Pan is Henry’s father, and Bae is Emma’s true love who she hasn’t met yet.
