Otherwise, it's hard for me to explain why it works with one duck and not the other.nickramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183840612122865547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364805792882783170.post-24248216512953184702012-07-28T15:19:23.786-04:002012-07-28T15:19:23.786-04:00An opinion I do respect, esteemed nickramer, but I...An opinion I do respect, esteemed nickramer, but I'd appreciate you elaborating on it for the sake of discussion.Richiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09935204176414624605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364805792882783170.post-33703556719120650162012-07-28T13:19:42.427-04:002012-07-28T13:19:42.427-04:00And I reiterate my statement that it isn't.And I reiterate my statement that it isn't.nickramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183840612122865547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364805792882783170.post-75425157585413056562012-07-27T15:00:08.448-04:002012-07-27T15:00:08.448-04:00I'm afraid I don't get what's the poin...I'm afraid I don't get what's the point of bringing that here...Is it that Donald vs Small Pest works while Daffy wouldn't? Sure, if you wanna go for that...But we ain't discussing Daffy here.

(IMHO, of course).<br /><br />You mention the things Donald does to Spike at the beginning...Without acknowledging that Donald himself is NOT AWARE of what he's putting Spike thru. He doesn't even notice him until the bee addresses him, at which point it throws sand on his face. So in Donald's eyes, this bee just started screwing with him for no reason, and thus, he's only doing a fair retaliation by containing it in the bottle.<br /><br />This makes the already sadistic punishment that follows already more cruel than it is. The bee shows no remorse. The short ends with the bee watching as Donald's surrounded by several hungry sharks actively wanting to eat him alive, as he's struggling to survive, and LAUGHS. How in Sam Hill I am supposed to root for this obnoxious, sadistic insect who revels on such fatal pain, let alone when Donald's not in the wrong to begin with?Richiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09935204176414624605noreply@blogger.com
