Peter Pan Confirmed To Be Played by a New Male Actor

[PriceofMagic]

What if, the reason Peter Pan needs Henry is because PP has been growing older and he wants to remain young forever and never grow up and Henry is the way to do that.

Or maybe Peter Pan is some kind of vampire hence why he’ll never grow old and why we’ve only seen Neverland at night.

I personally hold something similar to that theory, that Henry/Henry’s Shadow is needed to maintain whatever magic is keeping those who live in NL to age. It also makes sense given the traditional story of PP as the boy who never wanted to grow up.

I don´t think Peter Pan could be older than a teen or the whole purpose of having PP as a villain would be gone… He is the boy who never grew, I know they change a lot of things, but having an adult portraying him would be weird. Except if he never wanted to grow and that´s why he wants Henry, because in his body he would never age? (that would be a nice touch to the story).

This is television, where teenage drama shows always feature 20+ years old actors playing the role of 16+ years old characters. It wouldn’t be a surprise at all, especially when you consider 13 years-old Wendy was played by 19 years-old Freya Tingley and 16 years-old Felix was played by 26 years-old Parker Croft.

In Freya’s case, at least she is still technically a teenager; and she really looks younger than 19. Yet, I still have issues with a 26-year-old guy (Parker) playing a 16-year-old teenager; he’s supposed to be a Lost Boy, not a Lost Man! He is about 6’2″… that’s just, nope 😕

Perhaps that’s why they changed the name to the Lost Ones, instead of boys.
Casting of Freya was odd at first but I’m more convinced now it’s because she ended up going back to NL a few years after Bae left the Darlings.

PP didn’t want Henry, the guy representing his boss on the beach that gave a photo of Henry wanted Henry, as for PP that I don’t know what he really wants or perhaps he is trapped too like the lost boys until he can find Henry to let them all go home ❓ .

How long has the hunt been for Henry, since Henry is 11 years old is this when they started the hunt for Henry or when did they? It doesn’t make sense what Bae was a boy over 100 years old and they were looking for Henry before Henry was born ❓

I still maintain that Rumble didn’t have anything to do with causing the PP shadow etc.

Felix, after dismissing Bae because he wasn’t Henry, said “it may take time but Peter Pan never fails” when asked by the other Lost One if they’ll ever find the right boy that HE wants. Therefore, semantically, Peter Pan wants Henry. Also, because GOAT made it clear that Henry was more important to the people they work for, we assume GOAT is working for Peter Pan (though I doubt they know that). Here’s the clip of the final scene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRbG42dmGCw

I think the hunt for Henry has been going on for some time because I think PP has the gift of sight but maybe was unable to see exactly when Henry would be born.

Everyone thinks PP will be bad I don,t think so I think he wants to protect Henry from the Dark One if Henry was with Rumple he may try to kill him but if Henry was with PP Rumple would not try because Rumple is afraid of PP it,s like Voldemort trying to kill HP but VM is afraid of DD when HP is with DD VM does not try to kill him.The Dark One is trying to kill Henry the Dark One is afraid of PP Henry,s best chance would be PP maybe that,s why Felix said you get to live to Bae not because PP wants to kill him but because the boy PP is after is the one the Dark One wants to kill so PP wants to find the boy and protect him from the Dark One because the Dark One mark the boy for death so maybe that,s why Felix said that to Bae because PP knows who ever is the boy they would be mark for death by the Dark One.Also I think the Lost Boys are Jefferson Lancalot Graham and Robin Hood the one who said Bae is not the boy PP wants that could be Lancalot and the one right beside him could be Graham as for RH I think he is Tamara,s dad maybe she is following in her dad,s footsteps taking orders from PP also I like the idea that Felix is Jefferson maybe PP was the one who got Jefferson out of Wonderland and took Grace to NL so she would be the same age when he found Jefferson and when he found him he brought Jefferson back to FL and brought Grace back from NL that,s when Regina cast the cruse it might explain why Jefferson is in Storybrooke and not WL. 😀

If PP is a “good guy” then I’m going to need a really exact and precise reason for why he’s holding crying boys hostage and ripping shadows from them. H and K have said they want to do PP and NL different from all the other adaptations. PP in those is the boy who didn’t want to grow up but he’s not evil or bad, he’s just the very embodiment of childhood. However Once’s take is already far darker: older more sinister Lost Ones, crying children, ripping shadows, and even the Pirates seem scared of PP. I don’t think he’s going to be a good guy.
