Talk:Tom and Jerry VHS/@comment-25052433-20150628004021

There were some cool factuals in this story, such as being based off of real episodes. My guess is that the aurthor was either a huge Tom and Jerry fan, or did some good amount of research before hand.

I remember that episode of Tom and Jerry myself, the one based around the French revolution, with Tom guarding the King's slumber, or maybe it was a banquet, I can't remember. I do remember that he was executed at the end. I recall expecting Jerry to try and help him before he was killed, but instead they let him die, largely due to their own actions, and then simply laughed of matter off.

In other words, the original damn cartoon was disturbing enough as it was.

As for this pasta, honestly, if it were posted today, I would have deleted it, and not just because Lost Episodes are blacklisted right now, but because of the insane amounts of CP cliches that are in this story. The hyper realistic trope was played heavily. The author's relying on blood and gore concepts to propel the story was also annoying, and the over all concept didn't have much impact, considering the fact that Tom and Jerry was already a very violent cartoon to start with.

Tom's ghost having blank eyes was another instance of a cliche being done to death. At least the guy watching the tape didn't vomit or go insane, so that is a plus.

I will give credit for a couple of instances though. The origin of the tape is rather different. It was nice to see something that didn't involve a garage sale or Ebay purchase when it came to the origins of the tape. Perhaps the aunt's death by beheading and the character's French heritage was supposed to turn this into something deeper and more chilling, and while I admire the unique approach, it was still an approach to a very old concept here on CP.
