* [[NotUsingTheZWord Not Using The F Word]]: Instead we have "tree spirits" and "mineral dust."

* DarkerAndEdgier: When compared to the original.

* StormTheCastle: Or the pirate ship, as the case may be.

* ArmyOfThievesAndWhores: After the plan to gain control of the mineral dust fails, Hook plans to return to London and gather one of these off the streets, then return to Neverland with advanced (ie, early 20th century) weaponry and conquer it.

* BlessedWithSuck / CursedWithAwesome: If you end up in Neverland, you stop aging and essentially can live forever...but as you are when you arrived. See FridgeHorror below for what this means if you arrive in a less-than-ideal state. Likewise, while you can apparently die by violent means (or explode from too much magic, see the fate of [[spoiler: Captain Bonny]]) or recover from injuries, if you're mutiliated like [[spoiler: Hook's severed hand]], it doesn't grow back.

* ContinuityNod: The final line of the series - [[spoiler: "Peter, where's your shadow?"]]

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: A concern Bonny has with going back to Earth - she and the other pirates have remained unchanged for over 200 years; Earth hasn't.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Bonny is killed when she finally gains the power of the mineral dust, because she didn't gain it properly, because she killed/drove off the Tree Spirits.]]

* MadeOfExplodium: Anything sprinkled with the fairies mineral dust, without their help [[spoiler: Including Captain Bonny]].

** [[spoiler: Fortunately, the other boys help him recover from it.]]
