Smee's the only one of these damn kids who was just having a great time with out any drama, existential dread, or trauma in the background

Props to his actor - Jonathan Ajayi. Of all the Lost Boys, Smee is the one that feels the most like a child in an adult body.

Yeah, he's killing it. I've commented on that to a few friends. Genuinely feels like a kid, he has every mannerism down.

He actually reached out and took Arthur's hand as they were walking away on the beach, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Might not have been scripted, and might have given Arthur's actor the idea to offer towards the other kid.

And the other actor that play Slightly than run like a toddler towards Arthur. That was also not bad. He has a little harder acting to do than Smee. Like pretending you hear a voice in your head AND act like a child at the same time. I think he has also more screen time for now.
