People Describe The Worst Thing A 'Good Guy' Has Ever Done In A Children's Movie Or Show

Peter Pan

Tink in Peter Pan is an absolute monster. She tried to get the Lost Boys to murder Wendy. The whole film is full of abhorrent morality.

- Enochuout

To be fair, this is an older fairy story; and while still in the modern age was far back enough that they hadnt fully sanitized the stories into cutesy BS. There is still danger and risk and sinister things lurking in the edges of the world and the hearts of some characters.

Tink is a fairy, she is fey and so is her morality.

Kids In Cages

Lab Rats. The dad/inventor kept the kids in CAGES and it wasn't until he married and got a stepson that they got rescued. Then everyone was all, "oh well, good times!"

- WeaverOfCloth

yeah, and don't forget that the main characters constantly physically harass their nonsuperpowered foster brother, even after he gets superpowers, otherwise, pretty good show.

Walled Up Alive

The Fat Controller in Thomas the Tank Engine bricking up Henry the green train.

- jennyrob669

All Henry wanted was a coat of waterproof paint or a break from work till the rain stopped.

Nope, brick up the tunnel and take up the tracks. '

F*ck you engine, you work for me!

- FatNino

Came here for this! Lol. The look on his (it's?) poor face. Gets me every time.

Nooooo don't brick me in for eternity, I only wanted to keep my paint shiny!!!

Brain Damage Makes You Perfect

Here's my entry to help get conversation going:

In the 2005 Disney movie Chicken Little, the school bully, Foxy Loxy, gets teleported by aliens and suffers brain damage resulting in a massive personality change.

When the aliens move to return her to normal, Runt Of The Litter stops them, saying she was now "perfect". It's then implied the two become romantically involved.

- HooDooSquad

It was less of a "massive personality change" and more "massive brain damage".

- Satyrane

Yeah. That was super creepy. He was basically attracted to her because she got an accidental lobotomy. That's some pretty predatory behavior if you ask me

Wizard Woes

In Wizards of Waverly Place the whole concept of the Family Wizard Competition is super f*cked up and immoral.

Basically when all the children of a family come of age they compete to see who's the best wizard, and the ones who lose are stripped of their powers. Imagine if we have our kids take a vision test and blinded the ones who fail.

Anyways there was a recurring character who was friends with the main cast who was later revealed to be leading a revolution to overthrow this system. The entire main cast labels her as evil, puts a stop to her plan, and then literally murders her at the end.

More specifically what happened was that they froze her solid to hold her in place while they transferred her powers. Then the village idiot came and knocked her over by accident, shattering her into pieces. They then proceeded to make jokes about her corpse.

Gentrifying Lazytown

Sportacus and Stephanie treating Robbie Rotten badly all because he didn't want to be active.

Let him live in Lazytown in peace!

- Chuckbookworm

Those two came to a place literally called Lazytown and tried to force everyone to be more active and stuff. If anything, Robbie Rotten should've been the hero for trying to maintain how the town should be

- Truly_Meaningless

Sportacus and Stephanie wanted to establish a 'work will set you free' regime in Lazytown.

Threat To Society

In the 4th season of Winx Club, the main characters get a new power up, the Believix, and it is a mess. They each get a new power to use at their own discretion. Here is a quick description of what these powers let them do:

• Strength of Life (Bloom): It lets her make people believe in magic and help them overcome their weaknesses. She decides what qualifies as a weakness. She overrides a person's free will to make them believe in magic, which just so happens to make the girls stronger, and rewrite their personality if she doesn't like it.
• Dawn of Light (Stella): It lets her make people more cooperative and accepting. Basically, she overrides another person's free will so they do what she says.
• Breath of the World (Flora): It lets her make people show more appreciation for nature. Nice on paper, but it basically makes people ignore potentially more important tasks, or forego certain technologies, in favor of nature.

• Bright Heart (Musa): This is actually the most normal, because aside from the usual of making people believe in magic, its only other effect is to convince people that they can change.
• Gem of Mind (Tecna): To quote the official description of this ability: "She can use it to make people think correctly..." I think that's enough info. She decides how people should think, and magically imposes that way of thinking onto them.
• Spirit of Courage (Aisha): This is also very basic, the same as the first one with the added bonus of making people braver, but one use in particular rubbed me the wrong way. In one scene, she made a girl walk through a wall of fire to escape a burning building. The girl with water magic, just made a girl walk through fire. The girl with water magic whose best friend is on the way to becoming an insufferable Mary Sue, and whose fire magic can extinguish any flame with a snap of her fingers. There was literally no need to endanger that girl like that. They had two people on scene who could have not only saved the building, but also all six of them could have repaired it with magic.

Overall, those girls are a threat to society. They're emotionally unstable, have 0 coping mechanisms for when they get sad, and are basically demigods. It starts in S1. Bloom impersonates a foreign dignitary to sneak into an elite school. And Stella just brings random people to the magic dimension.

Also, at one point she used magic to disguise herself as a street cleaner, don't remember the context, but she then turned Bloom into a broom.

Musa once saw her boyfriend with another woman, and she just ran away crying like a kid. She has sound-based powers, she could have easily listened to what they were saying.

In general, by the end of S3, I found it easiest to just think of the show as a parody of the magical girl genre, and it instantly became much more enjoyable.

Mrs. Doubtfire

As a kid, you side with Robin Williams. Rewatching it as an adult, the guy was seriously dysfunctional and his wife was absolutely right to divorce him.

- ChemicalGeekery

He was pretty dysfunctional and didn't provide a great environment for the children until he pretended to be somebody else. He was only a good parent when he pretended to be somebody else.

It's also super super creepy that he disguised himself to get back into his ex-wife's house.

- Rows_

It makes me want to rip my hair out that as soon as she divorces him he's immediately able to fix all the things that she was begging for in the first place. Funny how he could manage to clean up the house and discipline his own kids once in a while when he wasn't going to get to have any fun anymore, but it's still too late to help his wife.

I know it's partly supposed to be about him learning to be a better person but "overworked woman divorces deadbeat husband and has to pay domestic worker to get help with all the basic things he should have been doing in the first place" isn't that heartwarming to me.

- howsthatwork

Totally.

He keeps getting fired from acting work leaving the mom to support the family, then mocks her for 'choosing her career', makes a huge mess for her to clean up as well, he doesn't take their life seriously and then goes to extreme lengths to remain in the ex- family home

Santa Sucks

I apologize if this has already been covered, but Santa Claus is a total a$$hole in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer...

I can understand the young Reindeer making fun of Rudolph's red nose. Kids are mean and will easily make fun of someone for being different.

But then Santa walks in... He could have set everyone straight right there. Explained how its our differences that make everyone special and all of that.

No.

He readily agrees with everyone that Rudolph is a lost cause and even tells Donner he should be ashamed of his Son's red nose.

Da f*ck!?

- ScotchyT

Until he needs him, then all of a sudden he's part of the group and useful and liked. That's some "fit in or go f*cking die" mess if I ever saw it.

Dipper's Worst Nightmare

Mable Pines from Gravity Falls constantly obsessing over failed relationships, typically at Dipper's expense.

Like the time she got Dipper fired from his lifeguarding job

Or the time she ruined Dipper's chance of getting closer to Wendy

Or the time she almost got Dipper killed by Gideon

Or the time she trusted a man who committed identity theft over her brother and almost ended the universe...

- JoeJoey2004

Mabel from Gravity falls!

She forces her brother to give up everything for her every time he comes close to achieving his goals. She only wants boys and is aggressive towards anyone who gets in the way of that, often including Dipper.

She never learns her lesson and gets away with treating him like a piece of sh*t the whole time.

A Hot Wonka Take

Hand over the reins of a multinational candy manufacturing corporation to a little boy who has no experience in the world of business leadership.

Who cares about a few spoiled rich kids getting what's coming to them?

The real tragedy is the entire race of Oompa Loompas losing their jobs and being forced into abject poverty in a country foreign to them due to the incompetence of a child.

Scrappy

It's pretty weird how cruel the Mystery Inc are to Scrappy Doo in the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo movie.

They literally chuck him out of the van and abandon him in the middle of nowhere! And all because he peed in the van.

I mean, bear in mind too that Scrappy is a puppy, so he's bound to have accidents as he's at the very least only just starting to be toilet trained.

That's animal cruelty right there. If that happened in real life, the RSPCA or PETA would come for you before Scrappy had even had chance to starve.

Childhood Trauma

There is no fathomable excuse for Albus Dumbledore to leave Harry Potter in that abusive household for his entire childhood.

There are many, MANY things that man said and did that makes his 'hero' title very disputable, but that one will always be noteworthy to me.

Bad Baymax

Big Hero 6.

Hiro removing Tadashi's programming from Baymax and sending him to destroy Callahan. He violated Baymax's directives and sent him on a rampage where he nearly killed his teammates.

Scene sends chills down my spine every time.
