NBC’s “Peter Pan Live!” starring Allison Williams and Christopher Walken is certainly an experience to watch. Also, since it’s live, it’s a perfect opportunity for the denizens of Twitter (including some entertainment outlets) to take to the platform and express some colorful commentary on the spectacle.

Some people made notice of one of the biggest undercurrents of the story–girls fighting over Peter Pan. Also commented on: Peter’s ambiguous relationship with Wendy, which vacillates between boyish crush and a slight Oedipal complex.

People also called out how old the actors of the Lost Boys are. This leads to the question: How come there weren’t actual boys playing the Lost Boys?

Also, everyone watching got freaked out when the psychedelic-colored crocodile came across their screens.
