You got me? Also, self defense has always been portrayed as wrong if one kills in Hollywood. Just see any capeshit. I guess that is the point, that Flanders may have to break his kill rule or whatever. I think it is just a dumb plot with usual Hollywood morality.
“If you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.”
For some reason a lot of western writers have this very stupidly strict morality--or at least see characters like Flanders as having such.
The movie was fun but the comics had a lot more depth since the entire point was Scott Pilgrim stopped being a loser manchild, a point the movie kinda botches.
Didn't like it myself. The animation's not bad, and character designs are interesting enough, but it just wasn't funny at all and the characters got annoying quickly. Maybe it's just personal taste though? People seemed to enjoy it, but I found it hard to finish. Anyway, if it continues, it will probably spawn one of the worst fandoms to ever exist, I just know it...
This makes me wonder how Flanders would have been if he was updated to our time in a non malicious way, probably way more gun happy but still non violent.
They'll probably use Flanders as more of a character similar to either William Foster or Anton Chigurh in terms of trying to fit in with today's PC society, but I doubt that's ever going to happen
I love Ratatouille, but even I admit that the ending was too rushed and the decision of rats taking full-blown ownership of Gusteau starting with the kitchen felt a bit weak, and the movie's troubled production does show. The end product could've been perfect, but it ran into some shortcomings behind the scenes, like how Brad Bird taking over directing and the original director had to quit due to this, and that Disney needed to buy Pixar (which they eventually did on February 2006), etc.
I mean they already turn Flanders into a Christian strawman anyway. That's why Flanderization exists.

No joke that movie made me wanna be a chef someday...back when I still belived that sort of thing was possible for a schmuck like me. Before I realized the reality of working in a kitchen and how demanding it can be. Now I'm stuck as a plongeur like linguine, with no rat tugging on my hair to make me one of the real chefs.
Sometimes I wonder, how did all this morality bullshit start?
imagine thinking a dork like Goku who dies saving people all the time is the bad guy when his fighting tiny space hitlers, man eating bugbro, a mass murdering gumball and slaver monkey men lol. The brain rot in western media is really weird and I can’t understand it.
Captain Planet? It was definitely a late 80's/90's thing.
Possibly with the comics code. That forbid all but the most unchallenging stories and was basically just a move by DC and Archie to try and monopolize the market.
Probably even earlier than that. Human history has always had weird periods where people get on a moral high horse about something, with catastrophic results. Look at the Salem Witch Trials.
You make a valid point, people today hate being challenged. Every time there’s something a challenge, these people either run away or try to destroy it.
What’s the Hays Code?
The full details are complicated, but it was a set of standards similar to the Comics Code, just for movies instead of comic books, and it came about decades earlier.
