Sheriff Woody (Black Friday Reel)



Sheriff Woodrow "Woody" Pride is the main protagonist in the Toy Story franchise. Originally, he was horrible.

Why He Sucked
This accounts for the Black Friday Woody, not the final version.
 * 1) Woody, instead of being the honest, loyal, and selfless cowboy we all know and love, was originally a cynical, spiteful, and vile bully.
 * 2) He treats the other toys like dirt.
 * 3) In the Black Friday Reel, Woody, instead of throwing out Buzz out the window by accident, threw him out the window ON PURPOSE!
 * 4) He snaps at Slinky just for disagreeing with him and calls him a spring wiener.
 * 5) Hey, it's a toy eat toy world.
 * 6) He shows absolute NO remorse for what he does.
 * 7) He doesn't even apologize even when he threw Buzz out the window.
 * 8) This horrible version of Woody nearly shut down production on the original Toy Story.
 * 9) Even his original creator John Lasseter was unhappy and utterly ashamed with how needlessly mean Woody turned out to be in this Black Friday version.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) When the film changed direction, he became the sweet cowboy we know him as, who, while still coming off as quite of a jerk at first, improves over the course of the film.
 * 2) He actually got his comeuppance where Bo Peep, Rex, Hamm and Slinky threw him not only off the bed, but through the window!
 * 3) To be fair, he wouldn't have been like this if Jeffrey Katzenberg didn't want Toy Story to be edgier.
 * 4) At least his voice actor, Tom Hanks, still did a great job voicing him.
