0:00.0 | What's the worst thing a protagonist ever did in a children's movie or show? |
0:05.4 | Tink in Peter Pan is an absolute monster. She tried to get the lost boys to murder Wendy. |
0:11.3 | The whole film is full of aberrant morality. I mean, that's relatively on the low end of her atrocities. |
0:17.1 | She sells out Pan and the last boys to the Pirates because of her hatred and jealousy. |
0:21.7 | In the book, it's even worse because the pirates aren't buffoons, but highly competent and |

0:26.7 | Smee isn't as much of a lovable idiot in the original. |

1:03.5 | Honestly, a lot of Disney shows and other kids' shows have creepy undertones like this. |
1:08.4 | This won't make much sense to anyone who's never watched the show, |
1:11.1 | but I'll never forget an episode of Wizards of Waverly Place, where Alex makes a new friend that |
1:15.6 | turns out to be part of this underground uprising against the unfair rules on who gets to have |
1:20.6 | powers. She seemingly joins her, only to find out she was actually tricking her so she could |
1:25.8 | turn her into the authorities. They act like |
