I'm tired of people siding with the wet bandits against Kevin


I mean Kevin was just defending his house. Had they left his house alone, Kevin wouldn't have bothered them. Kevin couldn't call the police because after he accidentally stole the toothbrush, he was too afraid to call the police.

I agree. Though I haven't seen people side with the Wet Bandits on here.

reply

Yeah. But Kevin wasn't a cold blooded killer. He was just defending his house.

Nobody knew his name lol this was 1990 with no security cameras. Besides, he could've told Marley at the church about the robbers and they could've called the cops together. Cops wouldn't have recognized him just based on "some kid stole a toothbrush." And even if they knew it was him, I'm sure they'd go easy on him considering they just got the wet bandits.

Security cameras have been around way before 1990, lol.

reply

Yes, I should have clarified. They were not ubiquitous like they are today. Most places had nothing.

Preach on sir

MinorityRules15 But then the movie wouldn't be funny. You want Kevin to just run to a church and have them call the police for him? come on now. What makes this movie so iconic is the fact that he made two grown men's night a living hell for underestimating him just because he was a kid.

Your version of Home Alone here would likely bomb, and if that happens there would have never been Home Alone Lost in New York. Thanks but no thanks.

I know the movie wouldn't be fun, that's why they need to have circumstances where it isn't solved as if it's real life. But, that doesn't mean we can't point out how simple the movie would be if it was real life.

Watch this and you'll understand it's just a joke:

True, like for one Harry and Marv would have died from some of those trap Kevin set up.

or there's a chance that Buzz or one of the other family members might have fell into one of those traps in the events after the movie that Kevin forgot to take down before they got back. Ouch.

This video says it all lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WKgNyvsNDM
