He was stealing his sister's toys and fucking with them in ways that scared her. Lad isn't innocent.

[–] aeronmelon 102 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

And I don't think he's ever been to medical school.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hes got a Phd!

Phreaking Horrifiying Dumbass

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

He messes with landlines to get free calls?

[–] InternetCitizen2 1 points 5 months ago

He went for lunch.

[–] Iheartcheese 45 points 5 months ago (16 children)

True but that doesn't mean he deserves the insane trauma the toys put him through

[–] cmbabul 48 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I feel like this is like the natural world, no he didn’t deserve it, but the toys were also just defending themselves

[–] Iheartcheese 13 points 5 months ago
[–] MagnyusG 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He seems to be doing pretty well in the third movie.

[–] Iheartcheese 25 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

All we saw was that he was a garbage man now and likes music. Just because someone went through something crazy doesn't mean they will never work a day in their life lol

[–] Donkter 6 points 5 months ago

Because the movie already heightens the toys to being alive the punishment is probably more representative of the emotions and desires of vengeance his sister had.

Bro grew up to be a useful member of society in the recycling and garbage recollection department

[–] disguy_ovahea 16 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I enjoyed that part of the story. I like to imagine he picks items out of the trash that could be reused in his projects.

[–] Shardikprime 13 points 5 months ago

He even enjoys his work, it's one of the most thankless ones. we see he enjoys music while working.

Since he learned that inanimate objects are alive. What job would he go for? Bro isn't fucked up and working a crappy job. He is trying to save the toys he finds

[–] [email protected] 51 points 5 months ago (3 children)

How about the whole villains-have-rotten-teeth thing? When this came out in the theaters the first time, my best bud had bad teeth from growing up poor and neglected. Fucking felt terrible watching it.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 months ago

There's the thing where the poor/neglected tend to have a higher rate of mental health issues, for... Obvious reasons.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Villains are stereotypically older fat queer bald men (e.g. Vladimir Harkonnen). These are all factors people have little-to-no control over.

Media will sometimes subvert those expectations, but most of the time the iconography matters more to the filmmaker than decency. It's quite fucked up the insecurities these portrayals breed, no amount of positive affirmation will make up for the fact that some natural body types are fundamentally associated with villainy in the Western visual canon.

[–] RubberElectrons 2 points 5 months ago

Very lucid and clear comment, now I gotta ponder it. Thanks for the kindling.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Villains in Don Bluth movies don't have rotten teeth.

They have big teeth.

Even if they're penguins.

Clearly you should have taken your friend to see The Pebble and the Penguin and showed him that brushing can lead to villainy.

(Okay, the first guy had missing teeth...)

[–] gofsckyourself 47 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

how the was he supposed to know

[–] KrankyKong 26 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I added the "fuck" without even realizing it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

And I removed the "the" in much the same way.

[–] Thcdenton 18 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Nah Sid was a little shit. Hopefully he gets therapy for the toy stuff and they home in on why he's an asshole.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

He's doing alright now, got a steady job, seems happy, gets to work outdoors and express himself

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

What do base this accusation on

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (3 children)

He m80'd them and melted them down.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 54 points 5 months ago

Many artists aren't appreciated in their time.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

And?

Those are supposed to be inanimate objects. You know how many toys a kid destroys out of their curiosity and experimenting?

AFAIK he loves his dog and it loves him back (that's a win in my book), and he hasn't done anything bad to a single living thing (beside messing with his sister, but who wasn't messing with their siblings when little?).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

I wouldn't say that was art but I'm a heathen

[–] WR5 12 points 5 months ago

To him, the toys were just as inanimate and lifeless as the M80s. To take it a step further, if the M80s were also sentient he still wouldn't know.

[–] PotatoKat 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Also the 4th movie shows that something is alive if it's considered a toy/played with. So Sid did consider his creations toys that he played with.

[–] hellofriend 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yikies, I imagine adult toys have seen some shit

[–] Lawnman23 4 points 5 months ago

Amongst other things…

[–] FlyingSquid 10 points 5 months ago

Justice for Sid, but burn whatever English teacher failed this meme maker.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Where were his parents?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

We love our Queeeen 🎵

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

He did not create art lol

[–] mojofrododojo 3 points 5 months ago

sid was just a kitbasher ahead of his time.
