I know that the original WDTW was set in England but British accents don't work when the are supposed to be in the US south...
I never said the details wouldn't change adding in Land of the Pig as the workers sing obviously changes things, but knowing Jim and his outlook Peter would have to be a California Surfer type... whether it's California or not... that's what I said. And You still didn't address the fact that you tried to say they might do a re-vamp of the Peter Pan story and have it NOT be about teenagers... ain't gonna happen. You still try to deny it, but with Dream Engine, Neverland and Tanz and Wuthering Heights Jim has been re-writing the same basic Neverland script for 40 years... It isn't going to suddenly become a story of two old ladies giving a tea party...
