2018 Grinch has no edge. Heās got no bite. Heās not even that much of an asshole. Heās just a sassy gay furry with unusually nice teeth despite his famous theme song declaring otherwise.
1966 Grinch? Now that was a mean, scary bastard. He was a crusty old fuck who hated society so much that he only came off his shitty frozen mountain to commit crimes and terrorism out of spite.
Bennyhoo Cumberland Grinch comes down from his mountain to buy groceries.
You can round the edges off a character to make them more ārelatableā or whatever, but you also run the risk of losing what defined them in the first place. The end result is bland and generic.
2018 Grinch is a reflection of modern societyās rejection of real character flaws in the interest of being āunproblematicā and in this essay i will
congrats OP this is literally the only grinch post iāll ever reblog
Blocked!
What is it with people and Benedict Cumberbatch these days? Why does it look like everyone hates him? What did he do? It seems like yesterday when everyone loved him for Sherlock š
I love Benedict but wish he could have played a really dastardly grinch. He has an awesome voice for it, so why make him cutesy?
Ben did SMAUG ffs. He could have done better than this Grinch.
I reblogged for 2 reasons.Ā First, OP is on point.Ā Second, to answer why Benedict did it – sometimes we just want to pay the bills.Ā Heās a human being, this was an easy job for a decent paycheck.Ā And if you canāt appreciate that, maybe you need to think about things.
Donāt blame Ben for the new Grinch being so different. Blame Illumination. They want all their movies so squeaky clean and inoffensive, theyāre willing to screw with what made a classic character great just to make them fit their cheap mold. They did it with The Lorax and now they did it with The Grinch. They never learn. Thank God they lost the rights to future Seuss movies (Warner Animation Group will be handling them from now on).
Disclaimer: Iāve actually yet to see the new Grinch. From what Iāve heard from people I trust, itās not terrible, but its main problem (aside from needless story padding) is that the Grinch just isnāt⦠Grinchy.
the āin this essay i willā joke doesnāt work when you write the essay anyways
ur gonna die anyway so get that fucking tattoo ur parents and friends hate and eat whatever u want
āYouāre gonna die anyway, so just set your house on fire and drink snake venom.ā This is like the worst life philosophy and you can use it to justify anything.
ok like not to rain on ur parade but getting a tattoo and eating some fries are very different than setting ur house on fire and drinking venom like I see where ur coming from but we were only going like 25 mph u didnāt need to accelerate it to 120 in a second lmao
āLife ends too quickly so donāt waste it denying yourself the stuff you like just because youāre worried about what other people will think about how you lookā
āYou want me to just fucking kill myself, op? Is that it?ā
