amelia_petkova"Wendy" is a webseries I found out about from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
meganbmoore. The entire think is a little over half an hour and you can watch Part 1 here. I decided to post my reactions as I was watching it.
Interesting prophetic dream/hallucination at the beginning
Wendy’s friends are boring
Love the old, funky California-style abandoned house
I’m waiting for this to turn into a slasher flick with the heroine wandering alone through an abandoned house, and then being chased by a stranger
Of course she’s caught before she hits the ground after a second-story fall (I know I’m being too literal for this film)
Wendy is dumber than a box of hair (said when she's following a strange boy around a deserted building)
I thought a lot of the dialogue was dull and wooden ("This is going to sound crazy but have we met before?")
Plot doesn’t catch me much but the atmospheric design is entertaining
Love the overgrown garden and other set designs
If we’re going with Peter Pan adaptations, I choose the 2003 live-action film with Jason Isaacs
Since the story is from Wendy’s pov I like that the creators blur the lines between fiction and reality
Is Pete supposed to be attractive or creepy? Mostly getting this from Part 4 when Wendy returns to the mansion
Pete, it’s considered impolite to grab a strange girl’s wrist to ask about her tattoo and then demand to know about her missing brothers
Get away now, Wendy! (again, I know I'm being too literal)
Theory: Pete is Wendy’s hallucination
All the Macy’s advertisements make me laugh
I’m actually kind of relieved that Wendy’s boyfriend just said that he loved her and got ticked off when she couldn’t say it back. I was worried he was going to ask her to marry him!
So Wendy’s best friend and boyfriend KNOW that she has problems with the disappearance of her brothers. Yet they get easily annoyed when she gets distracted, depressed, etc. and keep asking "Is something wrong?" You’re all morons.
Theory: Pete is Wendy’s subconscious (ex. during Part 5 when he’s talking about being happy and believing)
Thank goodness for landing in the pool; I was worried that her fantasy jump would turn into a suicide attempt in the real world and she would crack her head on the sidewalk
Love the effects of swimming in the pool changing to flying through the air
Watching this made me want to re-read Francesca Lia's Block's magical realism California novels. I'd recommend starting with I Was a Teenage Fairy for anybody who hasn't read her work before.
