The Iron Giant: Difference between revisions

** Dean's no slouch, either. His first reaction to seeing the Giant is to protect the kid. He also chews out the Giant after nearly vaporizing Hogarth by accident.

* [[Parental Obliviousness]]: Annie does not seem to have the faintest clue that Hogarth unabashedly ''despises'' Mansley, and has been desperate to avoid him since he moved in. She goes so far to suggest Hogarth take Mansley around and show him the sights. Whether this is true obliviousness or just Annie wanting her son to accept they have to rent the spare room for money is not completely obvious. As he starts to show his true colors, she quickly dislikes him.

* [[Planet Killer]]: {{spoiler|The deleted Dream Scene shows that the giant is supposed to be this. Even without the scene, the film itself, especially during the giant's rampage, heavily implies that this was what he really was.}}

* [[Properly Paranoid]]: Mansley intends to track down and destroy the Iron Giant since he believes it to be a threat to America. {{spoiler|He's ultimately right, as the Iron Giant is eventually revealed to be what is heavily implied to be a [[Planet Killer]], although his folly was that he let it become genuine paranoia.}}
