The resolution to this character is an extremely lackluster part of an otherwise god tier special
He just died in ignominy, which is what all true villains deserve
>>151860141>a literal evil wizard can be redeemed, but a dude that's just a harsh lawmaker can't
>>151860162The Burgermiester was given the chance to change his ways and refused. You can't be redeemed if you refuse to change.
>>151860190Yeah but I question why they went that way
>>151860224S.D. Kluger spelled it out in the end.>Poor misguided folks. They missed the whole point. Lots of unhappiness? Maybe so. But doesn't Santa take a little bit of that unhappiness away? Doesn't a smile on Christmas morning scratch out a tear cried on a sadder day? Not much maybe. But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men.
>>151860224Because he represents the curmudgeons of the world that don't accept the love of Christmas. The fools that can't make time to show the love of the season.
>>151860224He was Jewish
So what happened to him, did he just get old and die? No heir, nobody to take on his legacy and create a dynasty?
>>151859512He deserved to be raped to death in the town square by horses and a hydraulic steam powered fuck saw.
>>151860162It’s pretty straightforward why, Anon. Kris treats everyone around him with kindness, even those who aren’t initially kind to him.>Kris gives the uptight Ms. Jessika a China doll, which she’d always wanted as a girl, and she eventually becomes his wife.>Kris gives Winter Warlock a train, one of the first acts of kindness ever given to him, and his cold heart melts.>Kris gives Burgermiester a yo-yo, and while initially overjoyed, immediately doubles down on his hate of Kris.Also,>uptight lawmakerHe almost arrested a whole group of children, entire households if he found even one marble in their homes, and burned the Kringle’s workshop down.
>>151860224Romeo Muller had personal rules when he wrote screenplays.He didn't like the Disney trope of "Bad guy falls off a cliff to death". When he wrote a story, villains could be humiliated and made to look foolish, banished or reformed but never outright killed.>Bumble: Teeth pulled and tamed.>Heat Miser and the Snow Miser: Their mom makes them apologies and they agree to work with Mrs. Claus.>Winter Warlock: Icy heart melted. Reformed.>Ben and Ali: Basically get away with kidnapping Aaron and selling his camel. Seeing baby Jesus makes Aaron lose the hate in his heart so they're forgiven.>Kubla Kraus: Robot knight army junked, lost his gold and steampunk horse to Jack Frost. Castle wrecked. Lonely bastard.>Aeon the Terrible: Seeing a cute baby with big ears made him laugh and reformed him.>Winterbolt: Magic Ice Sceptre destroyed. Turned into a cursed tree to live for all eternity.
>>151860628>Turned into a cursed tree to live for all eternity.I'd prefer to fall off a cliff
>>151859512>"when the Empire fell to the Aldmeri Dominion, they SHAMED us all!"
>>151860737
>>151860391I'm pretty sure he's just German
>>151860273They used to say it directly to the viewer in these specials and somehow people still don't get it. The jolly pill will be administrated forcefully now.
>>151860737That can be arranged, it immortals will straight up kill you.
>>151861000The fight between the immortals and the awgwa was the highlight of the special. The awgwa designs are really well done and I find it interesting that they're giant orc things that can turn invisible
>>151861183I love them, you got great taste.
>>151860421He either died in power or was peacibly ousted after trying to outlaw Fun, from which point he chilled out at home, playing with some Yo-yos.
WHOOOHOOO
>>151859512>Arrests a man who promises children rewards if they play into his sick fetishesHow was he a bad guy again?
>>151862532ARREST ZHAT SORCERER!
>>151861000>>151861183People say this is the weakest one (after leprechauns) but fuck them it's my favorite. I only learned this year that the guy who wrote wizard of Oz also did this, and it's Canon. Awesome.
>>151860628>Aeon the Terrible: Seeing a cute baby with big ears made him laugh and reformed him.They never said he reformed, only that someone laughing so hard would not turn to ice and snow now that his eon of life had ended.
>>151862922Honestly I think the weakest out of all them is Nestor the Long Eared Donkey ( I still enjoy it), probably followed by Little Drummer Boy Book II as it was just unnecessary. Really the Rankin/Bass library on the whole doesn't have many bad ones.
>>151861000>>151862922I love how strong the DNA is between this one and the Rankin-Bass Hobbit and Return of the King adaptations.
>>151859512He died committed suicide when Soviet forces invaded the town in 1945
>>151862922>I only learned this year that the guy who wrote wizard of Oz also did this, and it's Canon. Awesome.Yeah, the Santa Claus that appears at Ozma's party in The Road to Oz is the one from The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. He even has Knooks and Ryls with him.
>>151860628>An unrelated situation to these two men occurs to someone else.>So they are forgivenThis is the most retarded logic I have ever read in my entire life.
