TFW the antagonist in The Smurfs was right all along.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Didn't he want to eat them or something? That sounds like a one-way ticket to a body horror ending...

[–] BlushedPotatoPlayers@sopuli.xyz 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think originally he wanted to use them to make gold

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

yep. that's the biggest tell that the Smurfs is about communism. in any other kids story the antagonist would either want to get rid of them or eat them, which is why most people just assume that's what he wants. but no, he wants gold. he's a capitalist.

First book, he needs them to make gold.

Then it's just revenge.

Or so I remember.

He appeared in Robot Chicken and admitted that he was never all that clear on his motivations.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

I think you're right... I was just imagining him coming in with a flamethrower in ~~one~~ the last episode

Gargamel is willing to bite the bullet for the greater good.

Gargamel would be patient zero of The Last of Us: Blue Edition.
