I agree. He only lied once, and it really was an accident.
He lied once, but he did nevertheless.
Maybe he didn’t want to push him out the window, but he intended damage, anyway.
But that doesn’t mean we should dislike him, or anyone else. That’s just there for the sake of the story.
Even if Woody was unlikable to everyone, I would sill like him. He’s just so adorable to me. Because he’s just like me. Yes, I’m a jerk. Sorry.
I felt bad for Big Baby for what he went through with Daisy. I thought Lotso’s backstory was all about misunderstanding.
I feel bad for Baby too.
I feel bad for Big baby, but he does creep me out a bit.
That was the intention I believe.
Big Baby is awesome
In terms of Woody, his character was exactly how Lasseter et al intended him to be; the nicest guy, as long as. he’s in charge. It sort of makes up for his misgivings for me. I think it was essential for his character arc, and I think he remains likeable even when he’s making mistakes.
Big Baby was an alright character to me. He did creep me out when he was sleeping on that one swing.
Woody’s always likeable and relatable to me no matter what.
I won’t go as far as saying that I don’t like Big Baby, but he did really creep me out.
I don’t get why people tend to dislike characters when they do what they’re supposed to do in the script.
But it’s nice getting this perspective. That’s why screenwriting teachers advise you against going towards a crowd pleasing move.
I don’t either…
Maybe it’s a character preference?
No, I don’t mean that.
I mean disliking a character because he’s evil, or stupid, when that is supposed to be his role in the script. If he wasn’t that way, the movie probably won’t be so good.
Sometimes it’s so annoying, it makes it harder to enjoy the movie. I think that might be it.
I believe that if a character does his or her job, and if possibly that job is to make the audience hate them, that that is what I call a good character. Remember, just because one doesn’t like a character, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t a significant character.
That’s what I’m saying. I love very hateful characters.
Agreed. I love the characters (villians in particular) that you just want to hate inside.
Ironically, many of the characters I hate in movies are not villains, but the ones you’re supposed to identify with.
