How do you fuck up a character THAT badly?

I just don't get how you can look at the grinch, well established for decades in popular culture as having "gross" and "repulsive" as his core character traits, and make him basically a millennial.

Simple -- they don't, they think about how much money they'll make, how much people they're gonna pay millions to in order to advertise it literally everywhere, and how to make thw property "relatable" and "funny" for the entire family.

Funny, because only the Carrey movie had him being a gross-out. In the book and the old cartoon, he lived fairly-cleanly if run-down in what little we saw of his home.

Most of the gross stuff came from his song exaggerating how much of a mean jerk he was.

I mean. That one song did take up 7.69% of the movie.

This, when that trailer/teaser first came out me and others in the thread were comparing his walk through the grocery store with Gru's scene(s) where he did pretty similar things. Casually fucking up everyone's time.

The thing is, it doesn't make sense for the grinch to hang out in whosville, go to their stores, not immediately be seen as out of place, etc. The only time anyone worries about him being there is for past troublemaking schemes rather than being a huge outcast on the hill.

I mean, you could argue that these minor kindnesses on the Grinch's part act as foreshadowing for his final redemption and turn to good, but yeah this is not good.

They're making him cute and less threatening because they want to sell more merch than Grinch movies traditionally have

It's really that simple

The Grinch is already marketable. You can find Grinch stuff for sale every Christmas.

yeah but they want him to be MORE marketable

Like when they put Mickey in contemporary casual ware. There is no upper limit on greed, and as such, IP holders will try whatever cockamamie idea they can to make more money.

Shut the fuck up they probably did that on purpose. Like others have said, the "theme song" goes into great lengths about how undesirable he's supposed to be.
>but that's just hyperbole!
As gross as Carey's is, it's still nowhere close to the implications of the song.

You get the point. He shouldn't necessarily be drenching himself in garbage, but there's no reason for him to take a shower and drink coffee with milk.

And especially not live in a comfy home
