I wouldn't call it sappy. It's a great way to show their life together really fast. They only ever had each other making his wife's death even more brutal because now he was just completely alone. It was a fantastic way to introduce Carl and his motivations for the film. Personally I think the movie gets super boring when they just start walking the house to the waterfall. Feel like this entire aspect of the movie could have been reworked. It's so fricking slow and unfunny. I don't get why they didn't make the bird the bad guy instead of the old frick who really should have been dead by that point or atleast unable to do most of the shit he does.
This + the fact that it has next to no weight on the rest of the story and the film turns into typical wacky disney shit as soon as it's done manipulating the audience into thinking the film has le heart
>+ the fact that it has next to no weight on the rest of the story and the film
yeah, it's not like the protagonist needs to learn to love again, realize he can help kids that are not his own and that family is an adventure on its own
totally not a theme of this movie or anything
>love again
Love a little Asian boy? >realize he can help kids
He worked selling balloons to kids, prett sure he loved kids and helped them lots, he was grumpy because the fat mongoloid annoyed him, not because he hated kids. >family is an adventure on its own
That's a terrible lesson. Her one dream was to travel and he couldn't take her anywhere once. Good thing they couldn't have kids, or they would live in abject poverty.
>it's an anon thinks pretending not to have emotions makes him look cool episode
It's okay, we've all been there. Most of us outgrew it in our late teens, though.
Because people are dumb. It's literal emotional manipulation: they're trying to make you care about a character you don't know or care about with a fricking montage. And this isn't even the worst part of the movie. The characters are shit, the story is shit, the writing is shit, the visuals are subpar. It's incredibly dumb, derivative and boring. The only good part about it are the first 5 minutes when they're still kids. I would have watched a wacky cartoon about two kids flying a house to the Amazon to rescue their hero. Frick is Up garbage, wold watch the Cars trilogy 3 times rather than watch this shit again.
I want to a Christian University and they played this whole scene in chapel on Valentine's Day cutting it before the low point as a please fall in love and get married kind of thing. Daily chapel was mandatory. But it made me feel like shit because I was genuinely trying my hardest to score my first date and was surrounded by kind cuties who wouldn't give me the time of day past pleasantries. I asked a few girls out over the course of that Uni but never got that date. In retrospect those Christian bastards using this scene for emotional manipulation during a daily religious ceremony that I was not allowed to skip was fricking evil. I'm fricking pissed about it because it's a genuinely beautiful scene tainted for me and they raped it to their agenda by cutting the most important part. You're also a heartless bastard if you can't see the beauty in who Carl and Elli were for each other. Frick you OP.
Normies still have emotions about getting old and dying.
/co/mblr strikes once again
Because you touch yourself at night.

Don't you understand? A cute bird would NEVER do that...
>hey didn't make the bird the bad guy
Some dumb bird isn't going to make for a very interesting antagonist
Emotional bait/manipulation
BAWWWW WE CANT HAVE KIDS
BAWWWW MY WIFES DEAD
BAWWWW IM OLD
That's a really reductive way of looking at it.
Works for Rick and Morty
BAWWWW some annoying fat kid won’t get off my lawn

nbody takes R&M seriously
>nbody takes R&M seriously
Nobody except the show itself after its second season.
OP takes Rick and Morty seriously
We get it you're a virgin

When did redditors start posting en masse?
Before 2014 or so people had this thing called "sincerity" and didn't view all media through a cynical ironic lens.

all storytelling is emotional manipulation

This is the kind of post that would be at the top of a youtube comment section.
