    If you're familiar with how Ray Kroc "founded" McDonald's, you go in knowing he'll be the villain.

      Yea, except it's not really a twist. Kroc was known to be evil to the bone. I mean, even if you *didn't* know who Ray Kroc was, it's still a fundamental truth that behind every successful multinational corporation are sociopathic, sadistic, amoral tyrants and monsters who got it there through unethical (at the very least) means.

      The film did demonize Croc when it came to the McDonald's brothers. There was not as much animosity between them as depicted in the film. The McDonald brothers made out far better in real life.

      Not, really. For me it’s annoying and not bizarre. The German tv does this. Enough times for me to notice it. So I’m watching and thinking is this still the same episode or have they changed and this something else. Why is that character in this show. Oh, wait it’s another show that has started. For myself I want to have an intro and a outro (can’t remember the right word right now) but I agree that some might skip those when watching several episodes in a row.

    ANYONE who ever worked at McDonalds was shown the orientation video that portrays Kroc as a SAVIOR to the actual McDonald brothers, and they willingly sold out to him. That fantasy lasted until this movie came out, even as the real truth had been staring people in the eyes for YEARS before that.

      @@Ceares My quibble is mainly semantics. The title of the vid should have said "a villain" not "the villain". The latter indicates they're the villain of the film, which is definitely not the case with several of these which follow a former or soon to be former villain.

Yet some people act like he doesn't need others approval. To which I ask if they wanted the whole movie while paying attention or just pre selected clips from tik tok brain rot?

    Ray Kroc was not a villain. McDonald’s under his leadership became a powerful force for good. Mickey D’s broke the color barrier on TV. John Amos became the first African American to appear in a TV and he also was the first to be shown as a manager. It wasn’t just on TV, McDonalds instituted a program to create black ownership. Then there’s Ronald McDonald House. And helping to bring down the Soviet Union. Maybe to Hollywood that was his real crime.

      Because of how that person became successful and perhaps how they stay successful. I can name some world leaders who ruled over so much land and people. Were they successful? Yes, they were since they were called world leaders but their actions to reach it was filled with corpses. Also there is and always will be, probably, what one person sees as a villain is not what another individual sees as such.
