* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler: Tigerlily gives one to Hook when he betrays the map to the fairy kingdom]]

-->[[spoiler:'''Tigerlily:''' Then you should have closed your eyes!]]

** James Hook is portayed as a dashing, goodhearted hero who quickly becomes close friends with Peter. The worst that he ever does is repeatedly trying to leave Neverland, to escape Captain Blackbeard. Even then he always tries to convince Peter and Tiger-Lily to come with him. And [[spoiler:he comes back every single time, ending the film by declaring that he changed his mind.]]

** Sort of. The UnfortunateImplications of Tiger-Lily and her tribe of stereotypical "Injuns" are changed into a fantasy tribe of mystics who lived in Neverland even before Blackbeard arrived. Tiger-Lily herself is played by Creator/RooneyMara.

** The film has been noted as having a similar feel to Film/{{Hook}}. Such similarities include the surname-as-title and the highly colourful appearance of the native tribe. However, whether these assumptions are accurate or not remains to be seen.

* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Apparently Hook's real name just happens to be James Hook. Prior to getting his trademark hook hand, even.
** That's canon. One of the few things in this picture that is.
* TechnicolorDeath: [[spoiler:When the natives of Neverland are killed they explode into colored dust.]]
* TemptingFate: Hook's reply to Peter at the end of the film:

* OrphansPlotTrinket: Peter's Panpipe Amulet.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: Tiger Lily, [[AgeLift portrayed here as an adult]], eventuall

** Tiger Lily is played by the Caucasian Creator/RooneyMara. The tribe also a whole seems to have been changed to a colorful fantasy culture that has little to do with real Indian tribes.

* AdaptationalHeroism: James Hook is portayed as a dashing, goodhearted hero who quickly becomes close friends with Peter. The worst that he ever does is repeatedly trying to leave Neverland, to escape Captain Blackbeard. Even then he always tries to convince Peter and Tiger-Lily to come with him. And [[spoiler:he comes back every single time, ending the film by declaring that he changed his mind.]]

* DoomedByCanon: Considering Blackbeard isn't a part of the usual Peter Pan mythos, his eventual defeat and death is pretty much a given.

* ForegoneConclusion: Peter will become Peter Pan and Hook will grow to become his arch-nemesis.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Blackbeard looks directly into the camera as he intones "Nevermind" during "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
* ForeShadowing: Boatloads to Hook's eventual FaceHeelTurn. At the end of the film, Peter asks Hook if they'll always be friends. Hook replies "Always, what could possibly go wrong".

* DisneyVillainDeath: Both [[spoiler:Blackbeard]] and [[spoiler:Bishop]] fall to their demises during the final battle in the Fairy Kingdom.

* ActionMom: In the film's opening, we see Peter's mother parkour over a locked gate. Later, Tiger Lily reveals that [[spoiler:Mary had been the one to train her in combat]].

Serving as an origin story for the iconic hero, this 2015 film tells the story of how Hook and Peter first met, before they became enemies. Appearing as one of the antagonists is Blackbeard himself, portrayed by Creator/HughJackman. The film co-stars Levi Miller as Peter, Creator/RooneyMara, Creator/GarrettHedlund and Creator/AmandaSeyfried.

* AdaptationalHeroism: James Hook is portayed as a dashing, goodhearted hero who quickly becomes close friends with Peter. [[spoiler:The ending]] only implies that [[ForegoneConclusion he would go bad eventually]].

** In the other adaptations, Nibs and the other lost boys are presumably younger than Peter. Here they are aged nearly the same to Peter as they were his friends from the orphanage.

* AnachronismStew: Done deliberately with Neverland, which mixes several time periods. The pirates are full 17th century, the mines evoke a Old West feel and there's some Victorian influence as well. Not to mention characters singing songs by Nirvana and The Ramones.
* AgentPeacock: Blackbeard dresses in a very flamboyant manner but he's quite fearsome.

* BaldOfEvil: Blackbeard wears a wig to hide his lack of hair.
* BeardOfEvil: Blackbeard's. Though it's more of a goatee unlike the real person's full beard.

* BondOneLiner: [[spoiler: Peter says, "Think a happy thought," just as the fairies throw Blackbeard back against the railing of his ship before leaving him to die as it falls into the depths of the fairy kingdom. Doubles as an IronicEcho, since Blackbeard said the same thing to Peter both times he tried to kill him before.]]

* CoolShip: Queen Anne's Revenge (Blackbeard's ship) ''flies'' in this movie.

* AgeLift: Tiger Lily is traditionally a young girl in the original story and its many adaptations (presumably, she's around Peter's age). Here, she's aged up to be around Hook's age instead.

* MythologyGag:
** Being an origin story, Blackbeard appearing is a natural conclusion.
