Well, this is how they should operate…

But these volunteers also require that you understand they are human beings too.* and, like all humans, they sometimes make mistakes.

Please be patient, especially during busy times of the year.

Attempt to portray him as anything less than a hero keeps blowing up in their faces.

It just proves what pieces of shit they all are.

Oh no! And nobody will ever hold these crimes accountable!

It’s almost as if the government wants us to happen

Cookery or alchemy, my point remains the same. I just think it’s possible that there is more involved in the calculus than we’re aware of.

Although, to be fair, Gargamel’s desire to cook the Smurfs rather than turn them into gold always seemed to be a function of his maleficent cruelty rather than anything logical.

Perhaps these were empty threats merely meant to terrorize them, and that was possibly his only goal. Maybe they can’t be turned into gold or eaten. Maybe he just wanted to scare the shit out of him. Another piece of evidence to support this theory is the fact that Gargamel never actually cooked a Smurf nor turned one into gold. He only ever threatened to do so, while also missing several opportunities to do so.

Was the Smurfs’ interaction with Gargamel TVs first presentation of a metaphor that speaks against prejudice, bigotry, and hate crime? Against the terrorizing nature of bullies?

Since we’re already overthinking the hell out of this, we might as well ask.
