Pinkie Pie purposefully scaring everyone while Luna is trying to get used to interacting with everyone again in the episode Luna Eclipsed (MLP FIM)

Star Wars Rebels has a droid named Chopper who is supposed to be on the good side, yet he’s killed thousands of Stormtroopers without remorse (his kill count is even higher than Vader’s), shoved another, innocent droid off a spaceship, and electrocutes his friends for fun lol.

I have a theory for Lazy Town: Is Sporticus diabetic? Any time he's tricked into eating something with a lot of sugar, he immediately collapses. (hyperglycemic shock?) I know that part doesn't make much sense, but what if he's borderline DKA on those days?

The king in Frozen was a jerk. He couldn't handle a daughter with special needs and instead isolated both of his kids from the outside world. He completely ignored the trolls warning caused severe trauma to both his kids. Then he lead a dangerous mission to "cure" his daughter (because accepting her would be too hard) and gets both him and his wife killed.

To be fair to the Rudolph movie, Santa and the others repent and change their attitudes towards Rudolph before they find out they need his help. That doesn’t excuse their prior behavior, but the notion that they only changed because they needed him only really applies to the original song (where it’s just the reindeer who are jerks).

Obscure old stop motion cartoon from when I was a kid-- Bump In The Night. I was seven or so years old and stuck with a HIGHLY abusive "single adult woman". Being fairly autistic I was also highly abused and neglected at school. Earlyish nineties, basically had no repreive ANYWHERE. Discover this show-- monsters and weird creatures and toys and bugs go around on adventures in a live action family's house while they sleep at night-- one guy lives in the toilet, another under a filthy bed, there's a pissed off, roaring pile of dirty clothes in a closet that pulls characters in and eats them-- it felt like some surrealist actual extension of the world I really lived in. But there was one character. This cute, sweet little rag doll. Other than being made of weird, mismatched parts due to the rough use she saw-- I related to both situations immediately-- she was warm, nurturing, soft spoken, intelligent-- and most importantly she saw it as basically her life's very calling to comfort and protect anyone who needed it-- to the point of actually mailing away to become a doctor in one episode-- it was her ENTIRE CHARACTER pretty much. Well for obvious reasons, I was in love! Come most of the way into the first season, she suddenly pulled a complete 180 in one random episode, literally CRYING about how she felt used and abused and was tired of her life and wanted more control-- blah-blah, you get the point. Her kid had torn her arm off, and rather than wait for it to be repaired, she replaces it with something bigger and stronger. This leads her to become addicted to the feeling, which leads her to quite literally go mad and turn herself into a giant, hideous, evil monster with a staple remover for a head. She tries to steal HER OWN BEST FRIEND'S HEAD before finding it, AND THROWS HER OLD ONE AT HIM!! They do the "ship of thesius" thing, her original parts are reassembled, and she (in her own normal, dignified way) tells the monster to go fuck itself. Thing is though? After that episode the character was NEVER herself again. It was as if the monster were wearing her normal form, always JUST beneath the surface. She became a snarky, more angry, bitchy little harpy who never stood up for her friends, was always belittling and yelling at people, in one episode calling for one to literally be KILLED over something they hadn't even done-- AND NEVER ACTUALLY EVEN APOLOGIZING BY THE END! The show got two seasons, and whatever she had become wore her old original character like a thin mask all through the rest of it. I literally fell into an actual, deep depresion after that-- not BECAUSE of it, but it was more of a last straw. That depression never really DID ever leave me, and I've never felt for ANYONE as deeply as I once did for her. If I forgot to mention it, her name was Molly Coddle-- and she was a young, suffering child's first real love and possibly worst betrayal.

In Thomas, Henry deliberately came to a stop in a tunnel, while pulling a load of coaches, because he didnt want to get his brand new paint wet. Its the equivalent of blocking a doorway in a buisness office because its raining outside and he refused to move until the rain would stop, thus causing problems and delays. His vanity was the problem.

Star Wars the clone wars is justified of its portrayal of the Jedi. It shows throughout its run just how far the Jedi have fallen, and that’s why Palpatine wins. The Arbiters of Peace and Justice serve a corrupt government, not serving the Ideals on which they were founded

In Ninjago, Lloyd Garmadon has the highest kill count by the end of the Tournament of Elements Season. He's like 9 at that point and everyone just glosses over that fact.

Gohan wasn't teenage at the time...he was 10. As for Dumbledore, I don't mind. Snape casually takes away points from all other houses all year which is the only reason Slytheren comes in first. He's only doing counterweight.

* submits perfectly filled-out paperwork for ferry * "See this space here where it says 'do not make any marks below this line?" "Yeah, there's no marks." * clerk makes mark * "There is now! DENIED!" * submits video of that to supervisor * *gets arrested a week later for some privacy violation, and having a mark below that line *

IKR?! Why didn't Tony Stark leave the drone system to James Rhodes AKA his best friend, a grown man, and a highly trained military professional?

Not sure if it counts since he wasn't the protagonist at that point, but in The Legend of Korra we learn that Aang neglected Bumi and Kaya in favor of Tenzin because he was an Airbender, teaching him everything about the Air Nomads and taking him on trips to sacred locations that he didn't even bring his other children along for, and it was all basically with the motive of not letting his old culture die out. This also causes Tenzin's siblings to hold a grudge against him that isn't resolved until they're all middle-aged adults. Toph was also a shitty mother, but she owns up to it, saying her daughters turned out great in spite of that and only asks that they not hate her so much.

The part with season 4 of Winx club I agree with the Winx pretty much force the people of earth to believe in magic instead of allowing Earth's people to believe in it naturally

The 3 musketeers episode of original tom and jerry. Tom fails at defending the kings feast, and so is executed by guillotine as jerry walks away eating cheese to happy music lol

Doing another comment because I just remembered Darius from Sing 2. He's a self-centered, arrogant dude who's paired up with the shy Meena to sing a romantic duet in the musical the Moon Theatre troupe is planning. Meena is told she has to kiss him for the number (most likely her first kiss) and she's obviously very uncomfortable, not being attracted to Darius and just not getting along with him in general. Darius tries to give her advice, but it falls flat and is along the lines of "I'm so handsome, anyone would wanna kiss me" and "Oh, it's easy, just go with the moment and don't worry so much". Meena tries to tell Buster she wants a different duet partner, but never quite works up the courage. When it's time for the performance, she ends up imagining her actual crush (an elephant ice-cream delievery guy named Alfonso) in place of Darius and ends up going through with the kiss. This is treated as a victory by the movie. Darius gets to go along on the musical tour as a permanent member of the cast, Meena becomes okay with him (on friendly terms) and presumably still kisses him every performance. Played completely straight. The one saving grace is that Meena gets her crush's number and they are seen video-calling each other on the tour bus, so they seem to be in a long-distance relationship. Overall, Sing 2 is an awesome movie, I definitely recommend it, but Meena girl, you deserve better than jerkfaced Darius in your life. Kick 'im off the curb.

For Rudolph to be fair the song doesn’t mention Santa looking down on him he even offers Rudolph a job for his weird bioluminescence it’s only the reindeer that mistreat him so idk why the Christmas special included Santa being a jerk

Although Santa could have handled the situation a lot better than he did in the film, I don’t think he was telling Donner he should be ashamed of his son’s condition. Donner had lied to everyone by covering Rudolph’s nose and pretending he had grown out of it. Santa was calling him out on his deception. It was Donner’s selfish pride that set his son up to bullied by the other reindeer. At this point in the story Santa was grumpy and short with everyone (including Mrs. Clause and the elves) because he was stressed about the piling preparations for Christmas. As the story progresses though, he realizes he had been too harsh and becomes more gentle like the Jolly Old St. Nick everyone loves. In the scene when Rudolph tells Santa about the Misfit Toys the narrator mentions how he and the boss elf realized they had treated the misfits in their lives poorly. Therefore, Santa likely already apologized to Rudolph personally before asking for his help. TLDR Santa is less of a jerk exploiting misfits whenever it benefits himself and more like a unintentionally insensitive boss.

18:39 What's worse is that Sirius Black was willing to adopt him as soon as he heard the news of James and Lily's deaths

Patrick is 1000x worse than SpongeBob, as he only ever looks out for himself, he breaks laws and gets his friends framed, and will blame anyone but himself, yet everyone in the town except for SpongeBob, Squidward and occasionally Mr Krabs sides with him. Some of his worst moments is when he forces SpongeBob to pay for a toy, refuses to let him play with it, destroys the toy, and then expects SpongeBob to pay for another toy. While more the towns fault, there’s the time when SpongeBob gets stuck in a wringing machine, and Patrick, to his credit trying to help, puts super glue on the machine. He then takes SpongeBob to the fair, where he gets horribly injured, and when SpongeBob eventually calls Patrick out for his shitty actions, the town calls SpongeBob the asshole. He gets his licence by being the 1000th visitor to boating school, and proceeds to break multiple laws which get SpongeBob sent to prison. And it’s not just SpongeBob he dicks over. He screws squidward over multiple times and relentlessly bullies sandy. The only person who gets anywhere close to Patrick’s level of jerkiness is Mr Krabs. He worked with plankton for the simple fact that they were friends, but as soon as he saw the amount of money to be earned, he stabbed him in the back, and refused to credit him for the creation of the Krabby Patty, something plankton created about 80% of, with Krabs only accidentally discovering the other ingredients that made it better.

When you think about it, a lot of good guys do some pretty fucked up things. Example; Professor Utonium. Mojo-Jojo was even MORE his fault than the girls were. He was entrusting a Chimp; literally most aggressive primate on the planet to; a) Work as a lab assistant (prior AND after being mutated) b) NOT get peeved when he had no-one to interact with (Chimps are social animals and have a sense of isolation) c) When he DOES get 'siblings' and grows sentience, the Professor plays favorites. Chimps already have complex emotions as well; One of them happens to be Jealousy. So, all this time, if the Professor just read up on/ went to a Zoologist (because chimps can't integrate into any troops at random) the girls' arch nemesis would be dealt with. Mojo Jojo has proven he can make Earth a literal utopia.

Professor Utonium (Powerpuff Girls) Refusing to allow the girls to save the town, only letting up when he found a loophole to his own rule that fails to address the main issue the rule had in the first place. To explain: The girls fell asleep in school, so the professor institutes a bed time. Naturally, all the villains take advantage of the girls not being allowed to stop them and go on a rampage. The Professor finally lets the girls go be heroes, not because he realizes that saving lives is more important than kindergarten, but because he never set the clocks back for daylight savings, meaning the girls have an extra hour to save the day. The fact that this won't stop the villains from causing chaos an hour later the next night is completely ignored.

In terms of the story about Sir Tophamm Hatt (yes that is the Fat Controller's actual name) I would like to say that while I have not read the book, I have watched the British version of the TV episode and I can say that he was not bricked up until it had stopped raining and he still refused to get out as it might start raining again, and he never asked for waterproof paint, he was just vain, and in the next episode afetr he was freed, it was stated that he had learned that the way to keep his paint looking good was to ask his driver to rub him down every night, and while I have not watched the American version, I have heard that a line was added in to clearly state that he would be let out.

Green Arrow. Killing people on the List

This just made me rethink my childhood

In the Japanese version of the game Earthbound, the protagonist betrays his best friend. Sometime after, his best friend goes mad from not having anyone who cared for him, and ends up becoming one of the most evil villains in gaming history. However, it's different in the English version. Basically, the best friend was a villain the whole time. Game localization is really something 😂

The worst thing a hero ever did in a children's movie is when Hot Rod imploded an entire sentient planet in the 1986 Transformers movie, just by picking up the Matrix of Leadership.

Also Peter Pan ignores Wendy while being bullied by the mermaids there as well.

Little context on the Clayface situation. It's only briefly touched on in the episode, but the procedure that was being done wasn't actually going to turn Clayface back into a human. It would have amplified his powers, allowing him to take his human form permanently, and still retain his shapeshifting abilities. That's why Batman stopped the procedure, although it's not really *directly* explained in the episode, so Batman still comes off looking like a dick.

The nail in the coffin for Thomas the Tank Engine is the fact that the sentient trains can't even run away from slavery. Even if their slavers conveniently take a really long nap at the same time, where can the trains run away to? Wherever the tracks lead them will keep them in slavery. Their bodies are designed to make them slaves to the tracks as well as to humans.

I so agree with the Ms. Doubtfire mention. I was team husband as child but I'm now on the mother's side as an adult.

All of Penny Proud's friends.

The Jedi Council during the Clone Wars. They willingly let the government they work with put a 15-16 year-old on trial for a crime she couldn't have committed because she was on a completely different planet when said crime happened. This same child was almost given the death sentence if it wasn't for her teacher/old brother finding the actual culprit who was the her best friend. Afterward, they didn't even give her a proper apology and just said it was her great trial to be a Jedi Knight. They then had the audacity to be surprised when the she refused to rejoin the order they kicked her out of, the same order she had lived in since she was 3 years old, all because "The Republic said to". Is it any wonder Anakin betrayed them?

The Other Railway (British Rail) along with every other railroad on the planet in the Thomas the Tank Engine universe literally committed a holocaust level genocide against steam locomotives. While they weren't as efficient as the diesels that replaced them, they were still living machines and were cut up while still alive....

Miraculous Ladybug They make it trauma based eventually, and he's just as bad, but Marinette full on stalks Adrien in that show. She has his entire schedule and knows it off by heart to the minute, she literally steals his phone one time. She's unable to speak in his presence but knows everything about him and has pictures on every surface of her room, and they literally make full on plans with fake no-parking signs that gets Adrien's driver ticketed unfairly just so she can talk to him. Also Chat Noir's jealousy and stubbornness gets multiple people akumatised (turned evil by the villain via their negative emotions), and in general the main characters cause quite a lot of akumatisations for being heroes.

Basically all of Dr. Doofensmirtz' family, including his brother, the mayor. Like damn...

Penny Proud and her friends (save for Zoe) in The Proud Family Louder and Prouder. If you know, you know. If you don’t, I’m talking about the episode where they all gang up on Zoe for wanting to go to the school dance with a guy whom they think is colorist. Worse yet, this is something they blindly believe based on a bunch of baseless claims from secondhand sources. So really, it seems more like they’re just jealous of their friend and they think they’re more deserving of the guy because they think they’re all more attractive than her. What’s even worse is that while three out of the four apologize to Zoe at the end of the episode and admit that they were mean the fourth one, Maya, says something like “This is why us girls gotta stick together!” Uh, excuse me?! Were you not one of the girls who convinced Penny to turn against Zoe for the crime of wanting to go to a dance with a celebrity whom she thought was attractive?! Hypocrisy is not a good look on you, Maya!!!! Edit: Forgot a word

Yakko and Wakko in the original Animaniacs catcalling on any pretty ladies they see, and sometimes even stealing a kiss. Really glad they removed that aspect of their characters in the reboot.

Technically not a children movie but the terminator model T-800 did kill and injured people to help John Connor and his mother. They also stole and destroyed property.

this particular level of subway runners is fairly concerning...

Umbridge doesn't belong here; she's a villain, not a good guy of any sort.

Obligatory not a movie or show BUT, on a reddit stories of revenge, a guy who had been to jail numerous times since childhood was saying that he regretted being such a...delinquent to say the least. Anyway, he expressed how sorry he felt especially to his mom who was eventually raising him by herself and worried her to no end, and finally one day he says he decided to turn it around after she died and he was still in jail. He literally says he was so sorry to not be able to tell her how much he changed, remember this. So to the actual story now, he says he saw some little poo of a kid stomping his neighbor's flowers. A neighbor who had been taking care of his sick mom before she passed away. And then I BS you not, he described how he caught the kid, took him to his basement, and Torch-ured him!!! Over some stomped roses!!!! Obviously, everyone in the comments was like: YOU DIDNT CHANGE AND NEED TO BE IN PRISON FOREVER.

#16...in the new "Dragon Ball Super" manga, when fighting a "chi" eating monster named Moro, who LITERALLY sucked the life out of every single person on MULTIPLE planets, Goku makes the EXACT SAME mistake he made with Cell, giving him a Senzu bean that heals him, WITHOUT first eating one HIMSELF, just in case Moro betrayed him, AGAIN. this mistake nearly results in Moro destroying the ENTIRE GALAXY, and only an unexpected boost from "Uub" (Majin Buu reincarnated) enables Goku to FINALLY finish Moro off. here's a discussion of the entire story: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fhw30dtimmI.html #28 reminds me of a fan-story where Dumbledore didn't KNOW just HOW abusive Harry's Aunt and Uncle were, he had some magical devices that were supposed to monitor Harry's health, happiness, etc, BUT didn't realize that his OWN protective spells intended to prevent evil wizards from spying on Harry, were blocking those devices! AND his "anti-muggle charm" on their house prevented their "squib" neighbor from noticing either! right at the beginning of the story, Harry literally stumbles into a portal to another world, and the strange people there take him in, and officially ADOPT him! to his credit, (at least in that story) when Dumbledore learns the truth, he apologises to Harry, and removes that anti-Muggle charm, which leads to the Dursleys winding up in prison for their treatment of Harry! AND, i've always thought it was absurdly stupid to forbid Jedi from getting married. seriously, WHERE do they think the NEXT generation of Jedi are going to come from? Force talent IS hereditary, isn't it? reminds me of another fan-story, where someone told a computer to print out a list of all the Jedi who had defied the ban on marriage, and there we SO many that the printer ran out of paper!

Are we not gonna talk about the episode Timmy from Fairly Oddparents wishes he was never born and Jorgen shows him how much better everybody's lives are without them? That episode is seriously fucked. I'm worried that could be the last push a kid contemplating suicide would need to kill themselves.

In the "industry", a character could do any immoral thing possible but would get away with it as long as they're labeled as the "main character" or "good guy". Same goes with the fact that a character would be labeled as the "bad guy" or "antagonist" even without a clear reason why and the audience would still go along with that. Shows how broken our "industry" is

S29 Once decided to make for fun AU with my Pathfinder character in Star Wars - with my 0% of canon knowledge, original idea was of a sith who basically rats her people to pretty much everyone who against them and won't tell that she was one who gave them info the moment they got caught. More of interest read what's Jedi is up to... and that shit among potentially useful things does like "Don't love, don't be angry", and I was like wtf

6:18 I always felt the same about HSM! Especially the way that Gabriella's "friends" intentionally break her heart and then are just like, "SO, anyway, science practice is at 3, we'll see you there," like what they just did wasn't COMPLETELY messed up. And then later Chad and Taylor are like, I can't believe they're all depressed and don't want to do their respective THINGZ anymore, what did we do wrong??????? God, those two made me rethink making new friends in school.

Going to defend Dumbledore here for the house cup thing. Lots of people say he was showing favoritism to Gryffindor, but think about it. Some students from one of the school houses basically just stopped Voldemort from returning, which only almost happened because the faculty screwed up and didn't notice Quirrel was compromised. I think it's fair at that point to just say "yeah, they get the house cup for that." I think he only announced it in the way that he did to cut Neville a break and set it up so his actions would be seen as heroic and not, y'know... almost stopping the people who kept Voldemort from coming back. I have no defense for Dumbledore leaving baby Harry with the Dursleys though. That was just messed up!

Originally, Stuart (Pierce Brosnan) was written to be the butt hole boyfriend who would try to ship off the kids in order to have Miranda all to himself. I'm glad that they changed Stuart to be a decent man who loved Miranda and her children. I don't understand why Daniel (Robin Williams) would treat Stuart so terribly. All Stuart did was bad mouth about Daniel to the bartender.

In a Henry Danger episode, Henry has plans for Halloween, and his parents knew that and were supposed to take his sister Piper out Trick Or Treating. But then a rich family member dies and they ditch Henry into taking Piper Trick Or Treating instead of his plans so they could get inheritance. In another episode, Henry was really tired cause of his job school and family, and his fam knew he was tired. And yet they still made him cook dinner just because it was his turn. May I go on about his crappy parents?

Goku's only saving grace is every thing bad he does comes from his Epic Stupidity, so at least he's not acting out of character he is ment to comedicly stupid. Mr Crabs honestly is a Bad Guy when you get down to it, so him doing screwed up stuff is expected when the rest of the cast do that kind of thing...

didnt think i would hear about winx club today also holy shit that powerup is rediculous. this is why doremi has a hard "no mind manipulation" rule

To be fair, the corruption of the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic is canonical, what led to their downfall. That's the point. One needs not fall to the Dark Side to be corrupted by power. Consider as well, how ineffectual the Jedi were in the face of widespread outer rim slavery, the blockade of Naboo, and the extreme class division on their capital world of Corruscant.

Harry potter tied his shoes all by himself this morning. INFINITY POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR

In the giver, everyone was perfectly happy, and the elders sacrificed so much for them. Everyone was happy and healthy, but Jonas could only see the "inprisonment"

Greg from steven universe. He is the protagonist's, steven's dad. For a little backstory on him, he had extremely controlling helicopter parents who never let him follow his passions, he was forced to eat shitty food, had to use his window to get out of the house, you get the idea. So, as you can probably imagine, he ends up being a not controlling father. But greg borders on being literally neglectful. He lets steven go on extremely dangerous missions with his alien gem friends. Steven watches his gem friend almost die, almost dies himself, is taken to gem court in space for the murder his mom committed, etc. Steven's trauma from going on these missions is actually the main point of steven universe: future, so its good that stevens trauma is addressed, but the thing is that it should not have been able to happen in the first place. Greg should have raised steven instead of freely letting steven do whatever he wants and letting the gems take him on life threatening missions. Steven never even went to a doctor until he was an adult in steven universe future ffs. Its never really addressed in the show aside from a comment from stevens girlfriends mom, who is a doctor, saying that she will have a word with greg for never having taken steven to the doctor.

In the original adventures of Pinocchio book Pinocchio was pretty unlikable, he killed the cricket for berating him, got geppetto arrested and he also also sold a school book geppetto got for him to see a puppet show(the last one is probably not as bad as the others)

In the cat in the hat movie, that kid did hit him in the family jewels with a baseball bat first. How would you retaliate?

Finn using Flame Princess secrets to get her to fight the Ice King.

ok as an autistic peron who's been to school, santa in rudolph the red nosed reindeer is exactly how adults act when a 'different' kid is being bullied, is it bad? yes, is it innacurate? hell no

Story #29 - Wasn't a big part of it that the Jedi _weren't_ the good guys they thought they were?

Wonderful be in my little sister have come to realize is Pokémon yugioh. Just a concept in general in Pokémon morsel, they’re letting 10-year-olds run all over the world with more villain groups that I could actually remember the names but like every generation has a new one. And deadly monsters, and in a few episodes, ash has been electrocuted and burned to a crisp. and with Yu-Gi-Oh adults, turn a children’s card game into if I win, I get to kill you basically.

Story 29, that is why the Sith exist in the first place. Also, if those kids hadn't been taken from their families, they wouldn't have become fish in a barrel for a corrupted Anikan to murk on site. In SW Rebels, their are Force sensitive creatures that choose no sides but don't like getting involved in conflict unless it affects them.

there’s been so many instances in adventure time where i was like WHY ISNT JAKE USING HIS STRETCHY POWERS UGHHH

In the anime Birdy the Mighty Second Decode, the main male character ends up sharing a body of the alien who killed him, till his can be repaired....why? Because he got used as a distraction by the criminal she was chasing, and didn't bother with verfying her target....

2:21 I was waiting for this one, and Henry freaking deserved it. He was let out in the very next episode.

I will not get over this, no matter what anyone says. In the story modes of each Splatoon game we are introduced to another species through racist propaganda and enlisted without consent to restart an old war, commit mass genocide multiple times while cutting off their supply of extra lives, and use a song with the same properties as Gem of Mind (8:03) to make them socially acceptable. I want justice for DJ Octavio, he did not as many things wrong

#23 really infuriated me as a kid you don’t just do this to your own friend

Dumbledore could have saved a lot of time if he just told Harry the truth

In the first episode of Clarissa Explains it All, she almost kills her brother, Fergus, by tying hundreds of balloons to him. Before doing this "prank", she draws a diagram on her computer and titles it "Fergus-cide".

My addition: Avatar The Last Airbender. During the Seige of the North Pole, one of the last episodes of S1, Aang, bridge between spirits and humans, decides to let the Great Ocean Spirit have a joyride in the body of an Avatar, and the combination goes on to kill 1000s of Fire Nation Navy Members. We're supposed to root for Aang and Team Avatar because "Fire Nation Evil" when really, we're consistently shown that it's only like 1% of the Fire Nation that are actually evil, and most are brainwashed by propaganda (literally, S3 Aang goes to school and hears that propaganda himself, also in S3 is Katara helping a fire nation town, Sokka learning from Master Piandao, and Zuko's character arc). So most of those 1000s Aang killed are innocent and believe they were doing what was right. And in S3, when Aang is speaking to the past Avatars, he says "I've never taken a life" to Yangchen. EXCUSE ME?! You absolutely have. Even if we ignore the Seige of the North, S2 Episode 1, where Aang is at General Fong's base and the Avatar State is triggered, I'd say there were definitely Earth Kingdom deaths there too, and he actually looks at the damage. He knows he's killed someone. That's not including that Aang has lied (for good reasons, sure, but still completely lied) to people. Katara is so strongly racist it's not even funny, and while Sokka isn't as sexist anymore by S3, there is an undertone when he's with Suki during S2 of "I'll protect you, because I'm the man" Toph cheats during gambling, which blows in their face. Zuko, despite his redemption arc, still committed a lot of crimes and did some fucked up shit in the meantime. Idk, Team Avatar is kinda fucked up a little. Suki I think is the only one who is completely spotless by virtue of not being a full member of the Team (Aang doesn't consider Suki a friend in later years)

In Jingle All the Way, he does actually realize taking the toy from his neighbors house was wrong almost instantly after taking it and he does actually learn a lesson at the end. for leaving Harry at the Dursley's, in the book it was explained that he had to go live with them because it prevented Voldemort from being able to detect him while he was not at school since he needed to be in a house that had his family and they were the only family he had left. for Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom, it criticizes the kid's decision to set them free through Ian Malcolm at the hearing. I also felt the tone was less yeah everything is good and more holy freak, everything is going wrong.

Buck Cluck in Disney’s Chicken Little. Need I say more? Edit: Someone beat me to it!

Things like these actually paint the villains as the actual good ones.

1:52 I can legit remember seeing this and being like: 💀 Like seriously, this person is dead and they never wrote in some sort of magical revival or something like that, it's crazy.

Twilight Sparkle in G5 where the magic contained in the crystals she created fails as soon as somepony has even a eensy weensy tiny argument forcing everypony to get along with each other all the time even when they hates someponys guts if they want to use their magic

Didn't batman turn the machine off because it was actually going to kill Clayface or am I remembering wrong..?

I don’t remember the details of what happened specifically so apologies if something is off. But even as a kid I thought this was bullshit. In an episode of team oomy zoomy ( is that how it’s spelled? ) the three main characters are are competing in a race around a mountain against a large truck type character, that is obviously the “bad guy” of the episode because he had a unibrow a grumbly voice and a shit-talky attitude. I think it’s a normal Mario kart type race the whole way through, they use their super car with its abilities or whatever it has and the truck is just a normal truck, so he’s already at a disadvantage. One point the truck character takes the lead in the race. Which is completely unacceptable by main character kids show standards. So any guesses as to what they do about it?…. Yes?… ok well your guess was probably wrong, because they just straight up go off the main track into a random cave and grab what’s essentially the super star from Mario and proceeded to blatantly cheat by skipping over a giant lake and cutting in-front of the truck guy…….. ok? And they are then crowned as the winners and the good guys of the race and it’s all a happy ending also fuck truck guy… ok sure, truck guy might have done some cheating or being a dick to them. But come on, even if that is the case talk about stooping down to his level. I no comprehendo

I've been a Squidward since junior high (grades 7-9 where I'm from)

There's this Chinese animated movie called "Big fish and Begonia", and the main character in it is straight up the villain; she's a supernatural being who willingly and knowingly destroys her village with storms, floods and other natural disasters, there were definitely deaths too, and pushes his supposed best friend, who is in love with her (and she knows this), to sell his soul to save her from the consequences of her own actions, all in order to revive a guy she likes. And the whole thing is treated like a beautiful love story. The guy is not her boyfriend or anything either, in fact, he has no idea she even exists as a humanoid, as far as he knows she's a dolphin he interacted with for like a minute.

I disagree with your Lazytown criticism. They weren't trying to force Robbie to be active. He would try to do things to stop the kids playing because he thought they were too loud. He never actually told them their noise was disturbing him. And he was weirdly phobic of vegetables and tried to stop other people from eating them just because he didn't like them. And I am 99% sure he does enjoy playing with everyone, he just tries to convince himself he doesn't.

In the transformers series- transformers prime - Mico, one of the kids who work with the auto boys basically makes fun of one of the kids for ingesting a dangerous power source for the decepticons. My siblings and myself watch the show every year, and only this year is when I really hate this character . (Not a chuldren’s show) in Phsyc, Shawn and Guster mock Lassiter for his poor performance as a new father. He is clearly stressed, and on top of being a new father, a detective, and a chief of police, they still feel comfortable enough to put him down.

Even as a kid I never sided with Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire. Also always hated the Parent Trap parents.

I'm calling BS on the fat controller hate. The fuck else are you going to do when you're arguing with a train? He ain't gonna move for a Scooby snack, he didn't move when it stopped raining, he ain't gonna move for $20. He also let Henry out and often saved engines from the scrapyard.

Gordon from Thomas the Tank Engine mercilessly insulted an American logging engine, Ferdinand, for being “funny and frumpy” even though he was paired up with him during a job and Ferdinand genuinely wanted to help. Then Ferdinand forgives Gordon and helps him out when the load they were carrying falls in a ditch

To be fair, Goku knew that literally no one else but Gohan had enough power to beat Cell, and also knew that Gohan would need that push to get him to unleash the power of Super Saiyan 2. He knew Gohan would try not to fight, and healed Cell so that Gohan would be able to snap. It's likely that if he didn't heal Cell, Gohan would just keep beating around the bush, and then Cell kills everyone out of desperation due to being kinda cornered. Definitely not a moment that's worthy of the "Dad of the Year" award, but considering the circumstances, Goku did the best with the hand he was dealt.

12:52 that guy didn’t watch the episode

Not the racist game in the background

Pokemon- there was one episode where the gym leader Norman was accused of having an affair. This is a bit much for a kid’s TV show.

Star Wars the Clone Wars. While not exclusively a “kids show” it was more directed towards them, but also appeals to adult fans of Star Wars too. Anakin Skywalker was an absolute war criminal. Torture, false surrender, killing unarmed people, more torture, a second false surrender, and even more torture. Ahsoka and Obi-Wan are also not very innocent either. Ahsoka definitely took after Anakin quite a bit and Obi-Wan has his moments. Also Yoda, the best representation of the Jedi ideology did a few war crimes too.

wait, didn't naruto forgive the 3rd hokage or something along those lines during his funeral? also sasuke, why do people like that jerk?

Everyone craps on Man of Steel for various (and sometimes justified) reasons. But Superman II sometimes gets a pass even though Superman in that one is intentionally malicious. Let me explain. After a fight between Superman and Zod (and his goons), Superman leads them to his Fortress of Solitude, where supposedly he surrenders to Zod and depowers himself so he can save Earth and Louis Lane. BUT TRICKERY IS A FOOT! He depowers Zod and his cronies instead! That could be the end of it, but Superman crushes Zod's hand and tosses him down a crevasse to his death. Zod's brainless oaf of a minion just jumps to his doom because, shockingly, he's stupid! And the female Kryptonian gets punched by Louis causing her to also fall to her doom. And Superman has a smile on his face for his devious plan. And Superman's a good guy in this scenario? He could have just as easily just tied them up, flown them to a police station and that would have been that. Superman could have easily destroyed the machine that depowers and empowers Kryptonians so that if Zod escapes he couldn't just go back to the Fortress of Solitude to power himself up again.

Tempest Shadow in the MLP movie would have been fine if she'd just told an adult about her ball getting stuck in the bear cave. Gotta love idiot kids

Anyone else remember that scene in in the first episode in Ninjago when the ninja just hung up Lloyd on a freaking pull and bullied him after he got expelled from school because he wasn't "evil enough"...no...just me...okay.

Worst take on goku giving cell a senzu bean ever. Goku did NOT win against Cell, though causing him to regenerate did make Cell use a significant amount of energy. But even then, Goku woulda died if he kept fighting. He knew Gohan’s hidden potential was the only hope left. Cell needed to be at full power to be arrogant enough to WANT to draw out that hidden power, he needed gohan to fight cell at full power full power too so gohan wpuld also understand his hidden potential really was the last bit of hope left. Was it a gamble? Sure. But it really was the best decision in the end.

Suprised no one mentioned Preacher. The protagonist 1: literally has the power to make anyone do what he says, and 2: in season 3, though he's kinda forced to do it, he descends into absolute assholery.

Story 29. That's not really the case. Jedi are allowed to feel emotions, but are taught that acting on negative emotions is wrong, and for the same reason you don't want a cop who's pulled you over, who's going through a messy divorce to give you a ticket, because they'd be tempted to go overboard. You especially don't want the cop with Jedi superpowers acting on negative emotions. As for the rest, Jedi can and do embrace the cultures of their home planets, we see several, such as Shaak Ti, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Ahsoka Tano and Depa Bilaba do so. As for the attachments, it all wraps back to that when you have superpowers, you can't be putting one person over another, you're supposed to be loving and compassionate to all people equally. We see what happened when Anakin put his wife's fate over the rest of the galaxy, and how it backfired horribly on him.

1:08 I read about this a while ago and it has completely ruined the show for me, I would never want to watch one where someone like that is treated as a villain. The whole idea of a competition between siblings to see who can continue there training is also just stupid. BTW, the character they're talking about is called Stevie Nichols.
