    As a kid, I just saw Greg's antics as mere pranks, and never really as a form of antagonistic bullying. 11 years later, I now see the truth, and it honestly hurts... like a lot...

    It's funny how different movie Greg and book Greg are. While yes, both are asshole, Greg in the films learned how important Rowley was to him and while remaining an asshole acted like a better friend in the next 2 films. Greg in the books learned he was dependent on Rowley and kept using him

But I think towards the conclusion of the series, Rowley will leave him for good, Greg's life will fall apart, and he'll start to show some character development

Sad that his perspective is clouded, it would be nice to actually see someone point out to him how much of an asshole greg is.

      I hope the Diary of Wimpy Kid finale is Greg in high school, and he finally matured. He no longer tortures or manipulates Rowley, and he finally helps him out a long with other friends. The story ends with him and Rowley having successful families because Rowley was always beloved while Greg learnt his lesson.

    Small theory: Greg wanting to the story to all be about himself could be because his parents spoil his younger brother and let him get away with anything. And him bullying Rowley not only is something his older brother does to him and he wanted to have someone he is older than to project the bullying onto but Manny is protected by his parents so he choose Rowley to pick on

    • @zerd1801
      @zerd1801 3 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      A valid point. While it doesn’t excuse his actions, it makes sense. Roderick gets to bully and scam Greg constantly, while Manny is treated like a prince. Greg’s a textbook middle child, and he’s created this inner fantasy where he’s the most important person. Unfortunately, this leads him to treat everyone around him like dirt, and creates constant problems. If he just stopped to think about how his actions affect his family and friends, he might have a change of heart.

    Ya know, I'm kind of angry at this. Like, Greg here wants to ruin something that someone wants to do because he thinks it will benefit him. I mean wow, not everything has to be an award winning franchise, sure it can be a hope but that doesn't have to be the main goal.
    Besides, it wasn't about him. It was about a character similar to Rowley and his adventures, that's was it, that was all there really was.
    Instead, Greg wants to turn it about himself and how he thinks the story should be written.
    I'm not gonna just self-inserting, hell that's why I kind of do a lot of the time. But a story is meant to be written from the heart usually, it should have to appeal to someone else all the time, it's like with this story series my mom reads.
    She mentioned that people complained that there was too much sex then when there was a book without ANY sex they still complained about it.
    Another comparison is the whole 'art fixing' thing, ya know where people fix art and make normally Asian characters from anime black or have some kind of weird skin thing or some third thing I can't think of. That's something I hate and I'm not gonna even get started on that whole problem. Then this would turn into an essay about that problem.
    I know that this is a children's book but I mean... they are just piling on more and more reasons to hate the main character. If I were to read the books now, I'd probably hate the whole experience.
    At this point, Greg should Zoo-wee his last Mama and just bow out.
