I didn’t see the film, and I hear it was no good. But did any of you see it? I was curious what the angle was on having Hook and Smee be Pan’s friends in this prequel. Does the movie tell how it is going to turn out that they become his deathly enemies? And how a WWII figher pilot is going to become a froofy pirate? ---

What movie is this? I don’t know of it. It sounds like one I really want to see! Title? Year? Lead stars? Any data? ---

It’s called _Pan_, and it just came out some time this past fall. ---

Dammit dude, I read all of that not realizing you could have saved me the trouble by just saying “nope it’s not really dealt with in the film.” ---

Was the movie meant to spawn a franchise and they’d deal with it later? ---

Once Upon A Time had Peter Pan as the big bad of one (half) season, meanwhile Hook had a face turn shortly after being introduced and has spent most of the series as one of the good guys (barring a recent short lived heel turn due to circumstances).
