Memes

I think the big takeaway is that there are no sides to the matter, even if it's easier to empathize with one over the other, so the meme still stands on the empathy part.

The "antagonist" of the whole thing is that they both failed to communicate with each other. Which isn't weird, Max is a teenager experiencing a lot of stuff for the first time, and Goofy is scared for his relationship with his son, having to be a single dad, and never raising a teenager before.

The major issue at hand is that Goofy might as well be a minor deity of extreme luck (good and bad), so normal child/parent friction turns into being attacked by Bigfoot while later becoming an integral part of a huge concert.

As a kid, you definitely side with max and as you get older, you see that goofy was just trying to be a good dad.

I started to side with Goofy even more, because Goofy later gave Max the option of deciding all detours and Max still decided to trick his Dad instead.

He could've gone to the concert with permission..

The music in this movie has no business being as good as it is.

I can't say my perspective has changed much, I still tend to side with Max, but Goofy definitely wasn't the bad guy.

Principal Mazur... he was the bad guy, fuck that guy.

This movie always feels flat for me. It took me years to realize that my dad would never give anything up to make me happy.

Well that and he's a self hating bigot.

As a kid I shouted at the screen telling max to just chill with Goof and enjoy the fishing. Now I'm an old and I am still trying to learn all the dance moves from the final scene.
