Am I The Only One That Thinks Dracula From Hotel Transylvania is an Unlikable Protagonist That I Don’t Hear Many Mention?
Heres My Reasons Why:
I had recently been rewatching the Hotel Transylvania series and I have realized just how much of a piece of shit Dracula is in the series!
-Half the conflicts starts with his bigotry and resentment for humans (Yes, you can argue the first film it’s because of trauma from the loss of his wife and years of oppression from humans, I understand it here, but then the next few films are just him hating human beings having a say in his hotel (more specifically Johnny))
-He loses his shit hoping that his grandson is a monster and literally puts him in danger just so he can force it out of him!
(When Dennis gets hurt after the pups were too rough for him, like Mavis was worried about and proven right! Drac doesn’t give a shit and just hopes his fangs kick in!)
(Throwing Dennis off a tall ledge and waiting till last second to save him…LITERALLY LaST SECOND! This is literally Homelander! He pulled a Homelander!)
-HE ALSO GETS WHAT HE FUCKING WANTS IN THE SECOND FILM! Once his grandson is shown signs of powers, he instantly gets what he wants and gets to keep full control of his daughter and husband staying at the hotel instead of visiting the human world! (Once again! Sabotaging what Mavis’ wants to keep her close!)
-Even going as far as asking his dad to sabotage and traumatize Dennis with his favorite show to scare the fangs out! (Granted he stops Vlad but he shouldn’t have even let that happen and just accept Mavis wants to leave)
-The third film is probably the only one where he didn’t really do anything to cause the conflict outside of finding love in Erica,
-Fourth film! He manipulates Johnny into going through every hoop possible and change himself into a monster! Just because he was so desperate to not let a human own the hotel! Nearly getting everyone killed when Johnny lost control too!
