Woody Woodpecker (2017)

Woody Woodpecker is the main protagonist of the critically panned 2017 film of the same name. Sadly, his character was badly butchered.

Why This Version of Woody Is Loathsome
(NOTE: This will not focus on The 60s Version or The 2018 Version, since he's likable in those.)


 * 1) He wasted the talents of Eric Bauza, who voiced The Banana Splits, but unlike The Splits, Eric does not do a good job voicing Woody. Sorry, Eric, you're a good actor, but you don't do very well as Woody.
 * 2) He was flanderized from being a comedic slapstick animal into an unlikable sadist who makes everyone's life a living hell.
 * 3) He shows no remorse at all for making Samantha and Lance break up. But then again, Samantha was no better.
 * 4) He provides too much toilet humor as he farts out his signature laugh, poops on a guy's chocolate ice cream and the guy eats it (which, when he does, Woody is disgusted), and poops on Lance's girlfriend.
 * 5) He even strips two underage boys to their underwear and threatens to go further. This could be viewed as pedophilic.
 * 6) He never got any comeuppance for his actions.
 * 7) He is basically Jerry, But if you take away everything likable about Jerry, you get Woody in a nutshell.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He got better later on, even trying to help rebuild.
 * 2) To be fair, he didn't purposely cause the house to burn down.
 * 3) He is much more likable in the 60s and 2018 versions.
