A Close Shave
once again, wallace fails to be loyal to gromit. tale as old as time. first he drops him for some sket with the worst bob i’ve ever seen then he doesn’t even TRY to clear gromit’s name after he’s been incarcerated for life for a crime he very clearly did not commit. wallace’s testimony and proof of an ally would have prevented gromit from being imprisoned in the first place but clearly wallace does not care enough to do that. instead, he chooses to sit and “wallow” about it.
a blind man could see that wallace’s sneaky link’s “dog” was to blame for the disappearance of the sheep. wendoline knew full well that the “dog” was eating the sheep but she let gromit get done for the crime and just continued to live with her abusive cyborg dog creature. wallace continues to hit on her and makes it very clear that his need to clart is more important to him than his friendship with gromit.
next, i take issue with the gadget that wallace made to sheer sheep. it is unethical to stick a sheep into that contraption. end of. there’s no surprise that the patent for the invention was still “pending” because no one in their right mind would allow it to exist.
wallace is delusional if he thinks any of his devices will be successful. time and time again he has proven that he is incapable of creating anything useful, practical or functional and should give up entirely and get a real job unless he can somehow invent a gizmo that will give him the capacity to be a good friend.
