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 He Sucks
(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.
