One could argue that the context would disagree since it draws a distinction between when the Lost Boys die and when Peter thins them out.

Oh, I'm not saying it is an invalid interpretation. It does fit all the facts, and explains some things better than other ideas. It's not the only interpretation though, and others fit better in other ways. My only objection is in phrasing things as "this is" rather than "it may be".

"Thins them out" could be taken to mean he simply returns them to the normal world. Regardless of how you take that part, it doesn't follow in any obvious way that hook's pirates were lost boys slated to be killed who got saved by hook. In fact, since several seem older than Hook it's...

It's "reading between the lines" a fair bit. Bordering on head canon. There are alternative interpretations, though however you slice it Peter Pan wasn't a great guy. Which is kinda fair enough, he's a tween, with under developed intelligence and morality.

I considered the involvement of the tree implicit, since the issue is rather central to the conflict. No, I wasn't. I went with literally the first rough analogy that came to mind. It had to be something I could assume you'd have deep moral issues with to the point of true repugnancy, but which...

That's pretty disingenuous or forgetful of you. They neither know nor care about the unobtanium, but they do about their tree which sits above the contested minerals. Thus in fact the contention. They consider giving up that tree sacrilegious, it's basically their gateway to a God that actually...

It's a vanishingly rare resource. You don't even consider it a resource but an important part of your identity. Trading for it goes beyond morally repugnant to you. I want it. I don't share your beliefs or morality, and therefore think your lack of willingness to trade is backwards and quaint...

If I spend years pursuing your anal virginity but you're unwilling to give it up, am I justified in using force to take it so long as it's my last resort? I'm prepared to make some tremendous concessions if I get to fuck you in the ass. Haha! If he's arguing that the humans did nothing wrong...

So? Taking what you want because you can without regard for the people you're taking from is still wrong. Saying "Oh, but everyone does it!" doesn't actually change that. You're using this thread to grandstand about some entirely irrelevant point, and it's stupid. The question is "Which...

Which has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual point of the thread. "The strong do what they want and the weak endure what they must." does not mean there's nothing wrong in the actions of the strong. And personally, if you ascribe to that model of ethics I sincerely hope you find yourself...

What makes you think they needed it to survive? All I remember is the cartoonishly evil business guy basically doing the thing where his eyes turn to dollar signs when we're introduced to it as a paper weight on his desk. I also don't remember the humans "bending over backwards"? Regardless...

Yes! The toys gave rise to a tv show to advertise them. It's unclear why they thought the best ad would be a post apocalyptic fascist dystopia thoroughly stricken with nepotism, fighting against radiation mutants in a grey on grey morality war to the death...

Dreadwing, from Dragonflyz. The first episode (Which I believe is legally available on YouTube.) has the protagonists invade his hellish domain, to steal natural resources to power the flying utopia that him and his people are not allowed to join. During the smash and grab adventure, one of the...
