Anyone who grew up watching Tom and Jerry should take a pause and think long and hard about this question: was the poor little persecuted mouse REALLY the hero?
Because I hate to break it to you, but Jerry was actually a little shit.
Exhibit A: In this episode, Spike the bulldog threatened to beat Tom up if his freshly bathed pup got dirty. So Jerry then spends the rest of the episode playing tricks and doing everything he can to get the little pup dirty and Tom in trouble.
Exhibit B: Sure, for most of the show, Tom was always trying to catch Jerry, and Jerry would defend himself. But sometimes, he enjoyed himself a little too much.
Seriously. Look at this little fucker's sadistic little face.
Plus, if Jerry is so scared of Tom, then why is he getting himself in dangerous situations like this?
Dude clearly just likes to incite chaos unnecessarily, IMO.
He's always out there, provoking Tom and pushing all of his buttons.
And so often, Jerry just goes way overboard on the revenge tactics.
Plus, Jerry always had to get other people involved in his messes.
I'm just saying, guys: Just because one of the animals always comes out on top doesn't mean he's the good guy.
