  • Diary of a Wimpy Kid is no stranger to film adaptations, however the recent ones on Disney+ have left much to be desired and are vastly inferior to nearly everything that came before.

    To be fair, Greg portraying himself in his diary as an innocent victim of society instead of Elliot Rodger would actually make him even more of a sociopath/unreliable narrator in my opinion.

      That's how it is in the books. In the original Cabin Fever Book. Greg and Rowley tried to make their own Holiday Bazaar. They put up green posters at the school, it rained, and left a green stain. The school mistook it for graffiti.

      1) Jeff Kinney wrote these movies 2) Try actually reading the books the internet loves to over-exaggerate how bad Greg is and how he is a sociopath. He is selfish and egotistical but always well-meaning. He does take advantage of Rowley though 3) In a lot of the books he doesn't really do anything bad that. He did nothing bad in Long Haul, Wrecking Ball, Big Shot, No Brainer, The Deep End, etc.

      What Wimpy Kid books were you reading? They were never meanspirited. People love to exaggerate how much of a jerk Greg is on the internet sometimes. Greg can be selfish and egotistical but there is an innocence to him. Also in a lot of the gags in the books, he is more of an unfortunate victim of circumstance. In one of my favorite gags in Rodrick Rules Greg was on the swim team. He thought the starter pistol was a real gun so he hid at the bottom of the pool. The Wimpy Kid books are filled with all sorts of things like that.

      it's why I've fallen out of love with the series, it started getting... unrealistic to put it mildly. Introducing the pig was a huge mistake, combined with Manny just somehow learning enough spanish to talk some guys into going back to the zoo to pick up the pig, and it's just like "what am I even reading anymore". There's more to it, but I don't feel like cracking open the book again to check.

      I can't stress how much I despise that damn pig-- since its introduction it's done nothing but piss me off. Every scene it's in or every plot revolving around it just feels like a painful slog to get through. It's the worst thing to happen to the books in my opinion, just removing any sense of realism from the series with this ugly infuriating side character that does nothing but cause problems in the books. The Meltdown is the last one I read, but honestly everything after The Long Haul isn't very memorable (even Hard Luck was lacking).

      I will admit that I really liked The Long Haul book, mostly because the cartoony tone and absurd situations (with the seagull scene being a personal favorite of mine) gave me some good laughs as a fan of Looney Tunes style comedy. It was certainly a bit too different to the point where I sometimes wondered if this was a soft reboot, but I had a good time still, and it even gave me hope for future installments. Although sadly the next two books didn’t really grab me, so that’s where I stopped sadly

    The reason the Live-action trilogy's cast worked so well in my eyes is that, in the book detailing the production process in the first movie, the actors got time to hang out during production in a way that wasn't too overbearing on the cast.
    The most notable one is when the producers wanted to see how the actors of the Heffley family would work together, so they let them have a bowling night. Which is a great way to gain natural chemistry since bowling is something everyone could do.
    While the voice actors for the animated trilogy are there, they lack any offscreen and personal chemistry that the live action actors had big time.

    I feel like what they should have done is have a cabin fever combined with ugly truth similar to how the live action trilogy (Long haul isn’t canon) was with Dog Days and Rodrick Rules. What I mean is those books combined each other with the Last Straw while also taking creative liberties to help Greg grow as a person. And to be fair, Kinney did decide to take some creative liberties with Cabin Fever, but the major difference is he just seemed to change it up for the sake of it and Greg didn’t seem to learn anything, whereas the changes in the original trilogy they helped Greg develop as a character and became a changed person at the end. I guess Kinney and Disney are merely just adapting all the books and not having Greg grow at all, and if that’s what they want to do, fine I guess, but it’s not going to stop people from loving the original Wimpy trilogy more.

    I feel some creators are way to scared of having their character be interpreted different then what they intended. I get it to some degree, I wouldn't want a character I spent alot of time on getting called an a-hole etheir. But let it be if people still like the character. People will always misinterpret things. What matters is the character being likeable/fun to watch.

    There is something genuinely jarring that the LIVE ACTION versions are better than the animated versions.

    Devon Bostick was the perfect person for Rodrick.

    It's funny how even in the animated trilogy, rodrick still looks adopted. Every version of him always does.

    I swear if I were Jeff Kinny I would march straight to Bob Iger and tell him to give the team at least $80 Million to make the animation better.
