Sid's family (Ice Age)



Sid's family are a group of ground sloths that constantly abandon him in Ice Age.

Why They Should be Abandoned

 * 1) They are filler characters serving no purpose to the film whatsoever.
 * 2) They abandoned Sid and Granny because they are being "screw ups" and "dead weights".
 * 3) Milton, Marshall and Fungus are all Gary Stus as well as Eunice being a Mary Sue.
 * 4) They lack empathy because they don't even care about Sid or Granny, who are apparently the only good people on their entire family.
 * 5) They leave Sid behind whenever they migrate.
 * 6) They fit themselves to be more of an antagonist instead of the family of a protagonist.
 * 7) They stopped Sid from following them by gagging him with a field mouse, tying his hands and feet, barricading their cave entrance and moving through water so that Sid would lose their scent, which is rather cruel and abusive.
 * 8) They never get ridiculed for getting rid of their eldest son.
 * 9) They acted like they missed Sid while visiting him on the fourth film only to have Granny dumped with him so they can get away from him and her.
 * 10) *Not to mention, that isn’t only being mean to their son, but also one of their mothers as well! She raised one of them, what the heck, guys?
 * 11) On the first film, while they are mentioned; they abandoned Sid at the beginning of the film.
 * 12) Fungus's design look disgusting.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Their designs (expect for Fungus) aren’t too bad.
 * 2) Their voices are decent.
 * 3) If they got killed during the Pangea, at least they got their karma for mistreating Sid and his grandma.
 * 4) To be fair, they are intentionally unlikeable since it was established from the first movie that Sid had a terrible family and that Manny, Diego and the rest of Herd are his real family even if they are not blood related.
