The Iron Giant was TRAPPED by Hogarth?! 😢

Well the idea behind the movie was different from the book because the writer's I believe sister got shot. He then had the idea that "what if a gun had feelings and didn't want to be a gun?" That was the idea behind the movie

Iron Giant "big baddie" in movie: *US army with tanks, ships and nukes*

Iron Giant "big baddie" in book: *A fucking Star Dragon*

When I was young, I loved the Iron Giant when I got older. I realized how terrifying the movie was. Because that was scout unit. It was sent to earth. It never reported back. whoever sent him is going to want to know why. They are coming.

I remember reading the book in school and it was the first introduction to cosmic horror with the lovecraftian sized black dragon that's almost the size of earth 10/10 book

where’s the part when after thousands of years, the iron giant begins to emerge from the ground and hogarth’s future son has to learn to channel life energy from the sun through his body in order to defeat it for the last time

I always find it insane so many of these books that are now internationally known and loved were written by a man who’s home can be seen from my own.

Just watch this movie again last night, and I still cry when he says: you stay, I go, no following… and flies off to save everyone 😭 i’m so glad they put that scene at the end of him rebuilding himself

Genuinely one of the best closing summary lines of any video.

Old school movies were a whole different breed of awesome

Anyone else listen to the audiobook? That’s what I listen to.

Honestly I can see why they changed it for the movie, at least back then. They probably thought that having Hogarth trap the giant made him seem too cruel or make his intentions unclear, while saving him (especially combined with him trying to bring home a pet at the start) really shows off what a kind kid he’s supposed to be in the movie. Granted these days I’d give kids some more credit and it could still be fine the other way if done right, but there’s plenty of movies where the writers or someone in charge didn’t want an even slightly morally grey protagonist

[Glitchedpickle]

It is impossible to not cry at the ending 😭

[pierrebuieii]

That movie is a classic I never forget the first time I saw it at a friend’s house 🏠

A teacher of mine read the book to my class when I was in elementary school. Always struck me how different the book was.
