** Or it's not just the good guys who lose touch with their memories of life outside Neverland when they stay there very long. A modern sailor (modern pirate?) who gets lost at sea and somehow vanishes into Neverland might ''initially'' realize they're in a weird place full of anachronisms and characters out of an old novel, but within a few months they'd succumb to the setting and give up their guns and T-shirts for cutlasses and breeches.

*** Going back to the second point. All the happy things in Wendy's life are probably dead by this point; Michael died in World War I, John may be dead (possibly having died in the SECOND war), Wendy could be a widow by this point; her children have moved out and she's merely a babysitter, the person she loved didn't love her back and let her - as she was a 1910s child - make a (possibly) arranged marriage in the 1920s that may not have truly made her happy. Peter returning for her all those times made some of this go away, but as an old woman, there isn't much she can do about it now. And, to make things worse, she hasn't seen her granddaughter and great-grandchildren in 10 years!

** This is never addressed in any of the lore that I've read/watched but a several good answers come to mind. The first being that Neverland is magical, the idea that Lost Boys grow up to become Pirates after meeting some magical criteria comes to mind. The pirates could all be folks who got lost at sea, the question mentions people not being keen on being pirates but what options would a sailor who fell overboard have? Lost Boys kills pirates, the Indians aren't mentioned and the average person today wouldn't be able to duplicate 17th century technology from scratch much less anything modern so when Hook says "join the crew or walk the plank" most would. Finally it's entirely possible that Neverland is younger than we think because of the time discrepancy. In addition to (or perhaps instead of) it's clear in Hook that time travels differently in Neverland than in the real world. If deaths are rare and everybody is functionally immortal (at least from an outside perspective) we could be dealing with Pirates who've only been there decades not centuries and are all descended from a single ship or two.
** Perhaps pirates ARE Lost Boys. This is Neverland, the idea that the kids split up into two, possibly three teams to play Lost Boys vs Pirates vs Indians is no less absurd than you'd expect from an Island of children refusing to grow up and well within the magical feats Neverland should be capable of performing.

* Continue an above question are the Pirates and Lost Boys really trying to kill each other or just playing an "extremely" rough game where they recognize that you might die? It comes to mind because most of the weapons the Lost Boys bring are humorous toys that at best should have distracted the pirates and several seem to use their food stuffs which are IMAGINARY and cannot effect anybody who doesn't believe. The pirates for their part don't seem to be using the guns that we know they have because they've been using them throughout the film. This goes as far as Hook who's enough more interested in his fight than the win that he allows the entire plot to play out instead of killing Pan in Act One.
