Peter Pan as a messiah


I haven't seen any post commenting about the coincidence that the messiah-figure Pan just happens to be the son of a woman named Mary. It is also interesting that the big challenge for Peter is to have the faith to believe he can fly; reminiscent of another Peter trying to summon enough faith to believe he can walk on water.

Well, this is one of many 'Chosen One' stories that makes ham-handed references to Christian mythology. It's not what I would call interesting.
