The movie starts off with him telling his son to get over his mother's death and focus on school, Bastian almost immediately disregards this advice, then - nothing. We don't see his dad again for the remainder of the film, nor are we given any indication that anyone notices that he's been missing for 12 hours or so. I couldn't imagine any decent parent today acting that way, but I was born in 1990, so things may have changed in the last 4 decades. If we were supposed to see him as a bad parent, it seems like there should have been some seen where he realizes his mistakes, but if we're supposed to see him as a good parent, why does the entire plot of the movie hinge on ignoring his advice? Or are we supposed to see his behavior as so normal, it would be expected that the ,movie not comment on it?

Done in a medium-quality cartoony design, and I remember distinctly the stranger had an eyepatch on. I can remember the dialog almost word for word

A- I don't know if this is too forward, but would you like to be my nemesis?

B- You might think this is weird, but I actually hated you from the moment I saw you

A- This is great, and you've got an eyepatch on, which really screams "nemesis"

B- *unsure*

A- Well I guess I'll see you in hell then

B- Hey, every minute I live is hell knowing we walk the same earth

A- Did you just come up with that right now? That is so nemesis

B- I know!
