Uhhhh, well, there was an Ogre War that kids got drafted into at age fourteen but I actually fell into a portal to Victorian-era London because my father let go of my hand and was like lolbye so lucky for me I guess I escaped getting crushed by an ogre but I'm a kid stuck on a pirate ship which probably doesn't bode well because kids sort of aren't allowed on pirate ships, ever, and it's in Neverland so it's either A. stay on the pirate ship or B. get tossed into the sea to get devoured by mermaids or C. head for the mainland to be brainwashed by Peter Pan.
The tl;dr version is that they suck right now, pure and simple.
