Wendy or Jane


Which one do you prefer? I haven't watched the original but I knew about Wendy from the sing along songs, there's 'You Can Fly' & 'Following The Leader'. Wendy looks prettier than Jane (when she's young I mean) and she's beautiful when she's adult but Jane is obviously more mature. Oh yeah and who is younger, Wendy in the first movie or Jane in this movie?

I think jane is younger. If wendy had been alittle older, I think people would have liked her more

reply

Wendy is much better. I wouldn't consider Jane to be more mature. She acts more so childish and insecure than mature. ( well she is a child right now and she is scared and insecure about the war. We have to remember, Wendy didn't have those kind of problems, so we can't really compare them on that. We also have to remember that Peter wanted Wendy as the "mother" to the lost boys, that was not even an idea for Jane. She wanted to be a "lost girl" so basically it's all in what you see as mature. ) I think Jane and Peter look too much alike in this movie. I think Wendy is around 12 in the movie because she is getting to old for the nursery. Jane reminded me of a 9 or 10 year old. If only Jane weren't so... I don't know.. there was just something I didn't like about her...

Eh, I think its just the rushed animation. It could have been so much better... but its one of those straight to video animations... ( I wanted Jane to look more like Wendy.. I think it was just the hair color that throws me off. She, in my opinion looks like she could be the child of peter pan and tinkerbell rather then the child of wendy. and I know all that stuff about genetics and blah blah blah, I know that children can have different hair colors then their parents... but this is an animation, she should look a little more like her mother...) I still say she's younger than 12 though... again... just my opinion

Well actually i'm not sure where you live, but it wasn't in theaters where i live. So to me it did seem like it went straight to video.

reply

I don't really like Wendy anymore because when she's older she sounds like a nut, so I'm going with Jane.

Well, she justs still beleives and that sounds crazy to me. AWhat do I know? I'm onl 12.

Yeah, but it just kinda scared me that she *Still* believes, I mean, wouldn't you want to kinda keep it as a child hood memory?

reply

How can you not believe in something that *happened*? She would be crazier if she had been there and not acknowledge it. It has nothing to do with growing up.

reply

Well Wendy was much prettier In my opinion. Jane's tomboyishness was a huge contrast to Wendy's lady-like girly girl part. I have to say Wendy's part was more interesting since she was smart but dependent when fights broke out. I don't know I just like Wendy her nightgown looked prettier too.

WENDY RULZZZZ!!!!

reply

definately Wendy!!

You really can't compare them. Wendy grew up in the pre-WWI Edwardian era where that girly girl behavior was expected, everything had ruffles and gracious living was the norm (for the more well-off anyway). Everything in her childhood was tidy, neat and ordered. She would have been in her early teens when the war broke out and it must have been a terrible trauma for her. She's in her 30s in the next film and holding on to her stories as much a means of hanging onto her own sanity as a means of entertaining her children.

Jane is a product of modern wartime. She grows up on a world of mechanized warfare, blitzkrieg and terror for her father's safety. She has no living memory of either a gracious England or fantasy adventure the way her mother does and cannot relate to Wendy's means of coping.

Have you read the book? Wendy is 8 or 9 years old, one of those, I can't quite remember, not 12. I think people assume Jane is younger because she's shorter... perhaps. But Wendy could easily be 12 in the film, maybe they didn't want her to be so young...

reply

Wendy!!

I'm a big Wendy fan. =) Jane is all right, but I loved how Wendy fully believed even before she went to Neverland, when she was older than Jane, and enjoyed every minute of being there. I don't really like how Jane tries to act mature, and didn't even believe in Neverland until she had been there for a while, and only appreciated it when she was about to leave.

Plus, I really like Wendy's character design. xD

reply

I prefer Wendy!

I don't really like either of the characters although I think Wendy is much prettier then Jane but Wendys attitude is kinda girly / wimsish / annoying
Jane is true to the name plain. Although her attitude is stronger and tougher it's still gets annoying in the middleish
I would love a mixture of Wendy and Jane if there will be a 3rd which i kinda doubt there will be

Personally, I would not call Jane mature. She basically tried to act like a grown up, lecturing her brother for believing in fairy tales, while Wendy, at roughly the same age, acted as a mother to her brothers. She believed in the stories and allowed John and Michael to do it, too. She did not stress about growing up, acting her age, and so on, and as such, ended up looking far more mature and sympathetic than Jane did. At least, that's the way I see things. Given I have only seen the movies, I'm sure those of you who have read the books can give a far more detailed description of the characters.
