Posted this in another thread, but it fits here too…
I just rewatched Manhattan and noticed a few bright green items in his apartment. The hallway outside and his window sill are painted green. His TV is, like, Kermit green and stands out like a beacon in the middle of the apartment. The beads on the dreamcatcher are green. At one point there’s a shelf behind Neal, and it’s all lit up in green. There’s a bright green packet of chips, (I think) on the coffee table, and a little footstool thingo that has a green top on it in that same shot too. And there’s a green plant out on the fire escape. Obviously green isn’t the only colour in there, but once I’d noticed the TV, which was very prominent, it drew my attention to all the green.
All the green really stood out to me too. If not Neverland/Peter Pan, I’m think Neal could have connections to Oz… maybe the Wizard. There would be a lot of irony there, considering the Wizard wasn’t magic like he was thought to be.
I hope Bael is involved with Neverland/Peter Pan material, but you never know with K&H. The dream catcher is definitely more of a Peter Pan reference I think. He could have met the Indians (not meaning to be rascist) in Neverland and learned to make them. Maybe we’ll see Tiger Lilly as a character!
