And welcome to part two my Character Analysis segment. And seeing my reaction to this time's pick in the previous video post...
-(pause)
...it wasn't what I expected. So this Character Analysis will be on the greedy villain of the LarryBoy universe herself... Greta von Gruesome.
Can you really blame me for saying that this analysis should be a breeze like the first one? I didn't expect to pull this name out of the hat.
-Maybe next time will be a better pick.
Anyway, here it is: the Character Analysis for Greta von Gruesome.
Like all the villains in the Cartoon Adventures, Greta von Gruesome is underrated. But by far, she's like the most decent villain in the franchise:
1. She doesn't have an inanimate object as a henchman (like Awful Alvin)
2. She isn't a Momma's boy (like the Alchemist)
Not much is known about Greta, except in the book version of The Yodelnapper.
According to Book #4 of the Cartoon Adventures Books, she was known as "Greedy Greta" until they changed it to "Greta von Gruesome" in Book #5 of the series. She lives in a castle that was given to her by her rich uncle. Despite being wealthy as heck, she bought anything that she wanted. However, when buying didn't seem fun for her, she turned to stealing. This was the start of her villain career, because greed revolved around the choices that she made. She's looking to attain happiness, but her greed isn't doing her favors; and yet, she keeps feeding into her greed.
One perfect example of her out-of-controllable greed is when she decides to kidnap a bunch of yodelers to yodel for her whenever she wants them to.
-Talk about an obsessed fan!
-Besides, most of our sitcoms and comedy shows are like this... I'm just saying.
Now that I'm thinking about this character more, I'm beginning to theorize that she's like the reincarnation of the 1920s, where people in America were buying and spending everywhere, which were fueled by greed and temptations. You think that the Roaring Twenties were full of greed, then Greta is the queen of greed!
Can this character be diagnosed? Actually, yes!
She is a greedy piece of work. She doesn't learn from her mistakes.
-Well, duh. She's a villain.
She steals and doesn't care if she hurts anyone by doing it or not. She's dead serious with her villain career, unlike Awful Alvin, who mainly runs around and talks like a jackass. Again, she's like the most decent villain in the Cartoon Adventures series, despite some of her story and background never being explained.
