2018 Grinch has no edge. He’s got no bite. He’s not even that much of an asshole. He’s 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 “relatable” 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 society’s rejection of real character flaws in the interest of being “unproblematic” and in this essay i will
congrats OP this is literally the only grinch post i’ll ever reblog
2018 grinch:
his most problmeatic feature is that he mains hanzo
1966 grinch:
He’s a mean one,
he really is a heel
He’s as cuddly as a cactus,
He’s as charming as an eel
He’s a bad banana
With a greasy black peel
He’s a monster,
his heart’s an empty hole
his brain is full of spiders,
He’s got garlic in his soul
He’s a foul one,
He’s a nasty, wasty skunk
his heart is full of unwashed socks
his soul is full of gunk
The three words that best describe him,
is, and I quote: “Stink Stank Stunk”
he nauseates me,
With a noxious super nos
He’s a crooked jerky jockey and,
he drives a crooked horse
!
He’s a three-decker sauerkraut
And toadstool sandwich,
With arsenic sauce!
