Both Tom and Jerry are justified by the laws of nature. Cats are predators, they hunt to survive. And yet, mice have the right to exist, same as every other lifeform.
It’s the same with Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.
Look the show PROGRAMS YOU to look down on Tom. Jerry is the "good guy" and Tom is the "bad guy." but Tom is doing his job. This is likely the only reason he has a home. If he doesn't do this, he will be thrown out. Jerry is an intruder. His presence is not welcome. He's a squatter. Essentially a terrorist with a cute little face, living in the walls. Doing whatever he pleases. If you stop and look at it from 30000 feet, the whole show is sick, but Tom is the REAL good guy.
Tom & Jerry are establishes as kinda friends? who partially play this game of pretend so Tom doesnt get kicked out and Jerry has a source of food. They are performing for toms owners to both have a place to live
I don't think any judge in their right mind would convict an 8 year old doing anything in their power to defend themselves when having their house invaded. Now his parents thats an entirely different story and I imagine they had some very difficult visits from CPS ESPECIALLY since its happened twice now
He goes to a shop for supplies. While browsing the toothbrushes he sees his scary neighbor and gets so freaked out he runs home, not realizing he still has a toothbrush in his hand.
It’s that scene where he encounters the scary old man in the store and runs off, accidentally stealing it in the process. A security guard chase sequence with Run Run Rudolph ensues
The problem with Home Alone is that people don't realize that it's been so long since they watched the movie that they've forgotten everything about it, which is why all the discourse around it is just asking "why didn't Kevin do XYZ? Is he stupid?" when the movie clearly states why
I want the budged for a Home alone sequel that is just a remake of the original but the gimmick is Macaulay Caulkin plays Kevi again and nobody acknoledges that this is not an 8 year old.
that's the thing, is I'm pretty even when you first buy the phone it has apps already installed on it. there are probably 3 or 4 different apps Kevin could've used to purchase pizza items
I just don't see how that's relevant. If he was hungry for a pizza and the home phone line was cut, he could just order the pizza on an app. That's what I'd do. I actually prefer using apps generally because I don't really like talking on the phone
Look I'm sorry to tell you this - it's possible it's just me - but what you're saying now is just not making sense to me. It's as though you're speaking in riddles or something. You're throwing all these numbers at me like I'm some kind of scientist, and it's just too much. I feel like I'm offering really concise argumentation, that he could just use an app to get around the problem of not having a wired phone connection. That makes plenty sense to me.
Now in home alone 2 he didn't have an excuse. that little crap could have just explained to somone at the airport what happened instead of wandering around new york and splurging with his dad's credit card

This same discussion could be had about Tom & Jerry.
Doesn't Tom sometimes have owners that threaten him to hunt down Jerry whether he wants to or not?
No, because Jerry is ontological evil and anything Tom does is justified, moral, and kinda hot.

3 times if you count Home Alone 4.
Yes, under Illinois law Kevin is allowed to use lethal force on intruders if he believes that it's necessary to prevent serious harm to himself.
Kevin from Home Alone, famous advocate of Stand Your Ground/Castle Doctrine legislation.

Yeah, but this discourse isn't really about legality is it?
Judges don't convict people homie
It should be noted that all these Kevin defenders are responding to a tweet from this man, rest his soul https://youtu.be/KivCRqfFcqY?si=BjTPKSuNHCFGtZs7
Killed for being too real. RIP to a real one
i never realized it was Trevor Moore in this post until today
Granted I haven't seen home alone in a while but I don't remember him stealing a toothbrush
He goes to a shop for supplies. While browsing the toothbrushes he sees his scary neighbor and gets so freaked out he runs home, not realizing he still has a toothbrush in his hand.
So he didn’t even steal it intentionally
No, but he’s a little kid so he believes he’s going to jail.
WE STOLE A BALLOOOON!!
It’s that scene where he encounters the scary old man in the store and runs off, accidentally stealing it in the process. A security guard chase sequence with Run Run Rudolph ensues
Of note Trevor Moore was a comedian and this was very likely a shitpost that spawned this discourse
Here's a real hot take:
Home Alone 3 is a perfectly enjoyable movie by itself, even though it has a completely different cast
I genuinely never watched past the second one
I genuinely only ever watched the third one.
God I miss Trevor
whatever happened to kevin mcallister? now there was an american. the strong, silent type, he did what he had to do!
he was gay, kevin mcallister?
The problem with Home Alone is that people don't realize that it's been so long since they watched the movie that they've forgotten everything about it, which is why all the discourse around it is just asking "why didn't Kevin do XYZ? Is he stupid?" when the movie clearly states why
What about the old guy who Kevin met. Couldn't he have asked him to call the police and let him hide at his house so the police didn't find him
I want the budged for a Home alone sequel that is just a remake of the original but the gimmick is Macaulay Caulkin plays Kevi again and nobody acknoledges that this is not an 8 year old.
Honestly I know the burglars had actual beef with Kevin but they're too funny to be the child-murdering types
"Kevin orders pizza, which means the phone lines were fixed"
maybe he just ordered it through the app
I don’t think so. The movie presumably takes place in the “modern day of 1990”, and apps didn’t become a big thing until 2008.
what the hell are you talking about. you literally sound insane
why are you getting downvoted? Apps are like, always there, man
that's the thing, is I'm pretty even when you first buy the phone it has apps already installed on it. there are probably 3 or 4 different apps Kevin could've used to purchase pizza items
I always order through Smoothshark, they have the best rates
There were no apps on phones in 1990. The modern smartphone only became a thing in 2007-2008.
I just don't see how that's relevant. If he was hungry for a pizza and the home phone line was cut, he could just order the pizza on an app. That's what I'd do. I actually prefer using apps generally because I don't really like talking on the phone
-The movie Home Alone takes place on December 21st, 1990.
-Modern apps became a thing in 2007 with the launch of the IPhone.
Kevin’s about 17 years too early to use an app to order anything, because they don’t exist yet.
But like, apps are always there and shit
Please show me where the apps are on this

This is bait. Isn’t it.
God damn rip Trevor
Now in home alone 2 he didn't have an excuse. that little crap could have just explained to somone at the airport what happened instead of wandering around new york and splurging with his dad's credit card
This is starting to sound like Ender's Game.
(Not a positive.)
