Wile E. Coyote. Super Genius
I never liked the Roadrunner, I can understand not wanting to be eaten but there’s a fine line between escaping becoming a meal and just being a total *******, the poor coyote was so skinny and just wanted something to eat. Last year I dug through my attic and found my old Tom and Jerry cd collection, and I just spent about three nights watching my favorite old Tom and Jerry cartoons, I used to love Jerry and root for him, but after rewatching it in my teenage years I feel that Jerry is a sociopath and that Tom has justifiable motives behind attempting to eat him. I mean there’s full on episode where Jerry knowingly gets Tom executed via guillotine after framing him for crimes he did not commit. I remember being young and thinking the episode was super funny because I was too young to realize what was actually happening, rewatching it last year made me realize that Tom is just a poor soul who just wants to get rid of the demon that consistently haunts him, I mean, Tom getting his head chopped off is so disgustingly morbid but I watched it as a child and because I didn’t realize what was actually happening I just thought it was funny.
I seem to recall there being an episode where Tom dies of a heart attack but he isn’t allowed into Heaven because no one would sign the contract saying that he was a good soul in life, he literally pleads with Jerry to please sign the contract so he can finally be at rest, the little psychopath toys with him and at the end of the episode you literally see Tom’s soul boil in the pits of hell.
Makes me question what we show our children, morbid sideplots aside rewatching my old Tom and Jerry cds last year was a fun nostalgia trip and I’m glad I still own those cds.
But still, what the **** were the Tom and Jerry episode writers on? These cartoons are from the 40’s and 50’s so I wonder where they got such morbid ideas from
Who approved it to be a kids cartoon though? Satan himself? Likely, Tom is just a poor tortured soul.
