    A movie about Garfield should be a slam dunk. He sleeps, eats lasagna, loves to humiliate Odie, and constantly ridicules Jon. Garfield's personality is defined by all of these traits.
    So why in the world is the plot about a neglectful father coming back to win over his son?

    • @succubastard1019
      @succubastard1019 Před 2 měsíci

      Yeah, it's weird: the character's most iconic elemenets are his lazyness, gluttousness and snarky sense of humour, and in most comic strips are about character interactions with his housemates and neighboors or dealing with shenanigans at home.
      I don't get why the movies and most of his animated media in general try to shove him into a bunch of grand adventures, Garfield's overall character goes entirely against this sort of premise, unless you manage to find a way to pull it off really well.

  • @cjaymeme
    @cjaymeme Před 2 měsíci +265

    Something not everyone is talking about is how the character dynamic between Garfield and Odie feels weird and off. Not much is here from other Garfield media, but Garfield and Odie are basically front and center, and their dynamic is totally different here. In most other Garfield media Odie is stupid, and Garfield treats him as such and takes advantage of that. In the movie, though, Odie is weirdly intelligent and he's almost like Garfield's servant. It's just weird how different it is, it's like whoever wrote them has never seen anything from the franchise before. It's just more generic for no reason.

    • @TeamReArise
      @TeamReArise Před 2 měsíci +9

      In the gaf and the two cgi movies , Odie acts like the average dog but It’s actually not uncommon for Odie to be smart , the Garfield show and some of the comic bits proves that but at the same time he’s a dog who gives into his instincts which what makes him somewhat dumb compared to Garfield who has a more human behavior. The movie lacks that balance between smart and dumb Odie .
      The movie also makes the two seem like best friends with no bad blood despite Garfield and Odie have numerous moments in the comics , shows , and moives . where they don’t get along .
      Those moments is what makes a friendship seem real the good and the bad .

      I always hate this argument and it happens every time some kids movie comes out and is divisive (I haven't seen this Garfield movie as a sidenote, this is just a general statement). There are plenty of extremely well made kids movies which are better than 99% of adult movies, people who make this argument really need to come up with better reasons to defend these kinds of movies. They don't use the argument to demean genuinely fantastic kids movies which one could easily do, they just use it to defend unspectacular kids movies. Kids may not have high standards but they still won't enjoy everything made for them.

      To be fair, they're correct in that assessment. Unlike the weirdos claiming that you shouldn't critique a kids movie because it's made for kids. I can 100% critique a kids movie especially if it's a bad one. There's no shortage of good kids media and giving kids better media will make them more aware of when bad media gets made.

I don't know how anyone is expected to push a cat that likes lasagna and does funny comic strips into a movie and they could do a show adaptation, but that would just be them on some 30 minute wacky adventure. There is pretty much no way to make a Garfield movie without having some goofy and non-canon subplot that doesn't even relate to the comics.

      While I enjoyed this movie (I just got back from the theater), I can definitely say that I do prefer _The Peanuts Movie_ over this. It was definitely more faithful to its source material.
      Edit: Looking at a previous comment someone made, it's become clear that most of these movie adaptations often fall flat because they're based on things that don't have enough going on to make a cinematic movie. A cartoon, maybe, but not a movie (aside from Garfield, there's also Alvin and the Chipmunks, Peter Rabbit, Angry Birds, etc.). That's why they end up unfaithful, because they need to be spiced up to make a movie. Movie adaptations like _The Peanuts Movie_ and _Christopher Robin_ worked since the franchises they were based on have already proven that you _can_ make a movie with all that they have to offer because they have enough going on for them to be on the big screen.

    I remember reading an article that made this observation: This Garfield movie is probably the most faithful adaptation of the comic, in particular the comedy and structure as they compared it to the comic during the 80s and 90s (with even Jim Davies saying as such) and that is why critics and movie buffs are tearing it a new one.

      Kinda spoilers, don't read further if you want to go in 100% blind
      I don't think that's true. Jon, even though I don't hate him in this movie or anything, is depicted as much more of a clumsy, but well-meaning everyman in this movie, rather than the lovable dork he was in the 90s comics
      Also, several important characters from the comics don't make a return in the plot (and Jon's mostly sidelined by the new characters), like Arlene, Nermal, and Liz (the latter two only get small cameos), not even Garfield's mom appears which is really odd considering they made an entirely new character as his dad
      I think Garfield & Friends does a better job, even though it does swap out Arlene for Penelope I feel like the stories are much more Garfield-y than how action-focused the movie gets near the end
      I don't think it's a bad movie, I liked it in the theater, but it's not very Garfield to me

    Honestly, if they ever do a sequel, they should either: A) Adapt the original 1988 script for Garfield's Judgement day (a cancelled Garfield 2D animated movie written by Jim davis himself), or B) Just take the extended cast, somber tone, more Child-like Garfield, and just more interesting edge from the Film Roman era of the character, such as the specials, and Garfield and Friends. They not only have bouncy animation, great songs, surprisingly witty dialogue and a fun cast, but they can also be very heartwarming when needed (the ending sequence from Garfield on the town, as well as the rocking chair scene from the Christmas special are still just well made tear-jerkers).

Jon forces Garfield into the antics and most of Garfields talking moments in the strips are his smart aleck remarks to Jons craziness or life in general.

    The whole "kid saying what is that" WASN'T because he wasn't paying attention, it's because he either doesn't know what a tally mark is, or (this one is the reason *I* didn't get it) the way Snoop Dog Cat was saying it was VERY confusing (especially because he was saying "brand" instead of "tally mark").

    Idk, who cares? Garfield is kept alive by corporate interest. The straight to tv cartoons are cool,
    I wish they did that more often. This movie was made for legal reasons.

    And then Odie was like.

    I think I heard something similar from a CZcams comment but the John and Garfield dynamic can be both very strong and is almost pivotal to getting Garfield right.
    John is always going on “adventures”, kinda innocent, always trying to get a gal, overly charismatic/showy and halfway cool while doing so, and generally thinks he’s a main character
    But you see the real main character is this fat fuc*ing lazy orange cat
    There’s a lot more like how Garfield is like shaggy/scobby but also has a very thin line between messing with others and caring about others to feel happy but the dynamic between the two being near opposites is both important and useful to a good Garfield story.

      What's funny is that Jon *was* the main character at the start of the comic, the local version of the comic was even named "Jon" before being renamed as "Garfield" shortly before it went global (and this is very evident by the fact a lot of the dialog-based humor relied on Jon and Lyman's conversations in the early days)
