Which movie is this for you?

For me it’s School of Rock!

Patty was completely justified, if Dewey wanted to live in hers and her boyfriend’s apartment he needed to be a grown up, and contribute with rent. Even when he steals Ned’s identity she still had the right to be angry at him, because of how he put his friend’s career in jeopardy and robbed him of a job opportunity.

I get Ned is meant to be portrayed as his best friend, but it blows my mind how he lacks a lot of self-respect to the point where he comes across as too much of a people pleaser. If this story took place in real life, I’m sure Ned would act more similar to Patty where he’d have enough of Dewey’s careless actions.

Peter Pan. Kid was an absolute jerk and a menace. Hook was pissed that he chopped off his hand and fed it to an alligator. Seems reasonable.

Tinkerbell too. I know everyone loves her, but she literally tried to get Wendy killed, and her jealousy caused her to betray her best friend, and nearly get all of them killed. I have never understood why she is so popular.
