Iron Man picture

Trivia: Notice they don't play the lyrics with the "Iron Man" song in the closing credits. That's because the Black Sabbath song was not about the comic book Iron Man. There are many theories about what the song means, but the most popular is that it is about a man who travels to the future and sees the apocalypse. They couldn't use the lyrics to describe the Iron Man in the movie: He was turned to steel - In the great magnetic field - Where he traveled time - For the future of mankind. Now the time is here - For Iron Man to spread fear - Vengeance from the grave - Kills the people he once saved.

Suggested correction: Tinker Bell is born just before spring and then when spring arrives she brings the music box, so the baby can't be Wendy because it was only a few weeks at most.

If I'm correct, time in Neverland runs differently then on the main land.
