What I love about this scene is that Dean wasn't afraid of the giant neutralising him with his eye beams. He didn't know whether the giant was going to reactivate his weaponry, but it's a risk he took in order to keep Hogarth safe.
This movie was made back when the world was less cynical and had a stronger sense of community and morals. Saving someone’s life is the right thing to do. Always. Especially a child’s, and especially your friends. Does one even need to consider it in the first place?
When he says I not gun 😭😭😭 because he knows what that means... and he doesn't want to hurt anyone. It's so we'll animated too. The emotion he shows. Still makes me cry.
the giant doesn’t react when dean said to hogarth “he’s a weapon” , but you can see him pull back when he heard “gun!” .. remembering what hogarth taught him about guns “guns kill” 💔
I think it's also because he's familiar with the word "gun", but not with "weapon". It really crushes your soul when afterwards he tries to to say that he didn't mean it, but his vocabulary was too short that he can only defend himself by saying he's not a weapon, which probably caused Dean to misunderstand.
If Dean's reaction seems a little overkill, it's because of a scrapped scene where the giant is sleeping and accidentally projects his memories of conquering other planets onto the TV with Dean becoming much more concerned of it.
Remember, this part is just his programming. Imagine how pissed he had to be to consciously activate this programming against the military for seemingly getting Hogarth killed.
Thats what im saying... That bump means sooo much more than people realize.... He never healed it at the train tracks but healed it when Hogarth "Died"
@@danielstearns426 That was the last straw, and they just had to shoot Iron Giant again. Poor guy was already mourning Hogarth's "death", if only they had seen him do so. Also how come it was Kent that ordered the troops to shoot IG, and they followed? Shouldn't it be only General Rogard to give commands?
@@nothdmoon Kent probably went insane after trying over and over again to tell the general the giant is real. Kent saw the proof (the picture), many many tracks/evidence left behind including his car that was bitten into and then eaten by the giant, the train wreck, the hand in the house, and Hogarth's words/excuses not adding up made him go ballistic. When he finally convinced the military to show up to see the giant for themselves Dean disguised the giant as a work of art to trick the general. It worked and Kent felt ultimately defeated. Kent was an absolute mess and I assume he also questioned his own sanity. While the convoy began to leave with Kent in the middle of it all the giant accidentally revealed itself after saving two boys from falling to their deaths. He exploded with a "LOOK LOOK I TOLD YOU IT'S ATTACKING" finally FINALLY he went insane after proving he was right all along. The general and all the soldiers were in absolute disbelief and were more than likely terrified that he was right "Sweet mother of God.". They immediately called in air support and shot down the Giant after he fell and flew with Hogarth. The giant was shot down with Hogarth in his hands and heart broken thinking that his only friend had died. The military showed up probably full of Kent's fear mongering words that when they discovered that the giant survived without a scratch Kent jumped the gun to seize his opportunity and ordered the men to fire. The soldiers shot because the image that Kent hammered in their minds of a giant menace is right in front of them. I think the General was, sort of, ok with Kent giving the command considering that the giant Kent has been hunting is real, is intelligent enough to make a convincing disguise, and was seen in town "attacking" as Kent pointed out, can fly, took a direct hit from air support, and survived the fall without a scratch. I think the general was afraid of all the things Kent said about the giant and chose to say nothing against his out of rank order at the time
I think that could be one of a number of things that Annie found attractive in Dean; he was the ideal father figure that Hogarth was missing out on and so needed.
Exactly, What happened with his eye beams wasn't the giants fault he had no control over his defense programming. Once the giant sees something that attacks or looks like it's attacking him his defense mode kicks in and he can't control himself it's happened with many robots.
As Brad Bird states "What if a gun had a soul, & didn't want to be a gun." Brad Bird made the movie as a Memorial to his sister who died of Gun Violence.
The voice acting and animation carries more emotion and character than most movies of any kind that are coming out today. Possibly the most underrated movie of all time. Definitely the perfect animated movie
Edited 01/18/2021 This is where everything no longer becomes fun and games; it gets real very quickly and everyone's affected by it. Though his actions were in the right to protect Hogarth, Dean was quick to pick up on the Giant's defense mechanism. The giant is shattered at the thought of almost killing his human companion even though he was BUILT to be a weapon. Lastly with Hogarth, he's done everything he can to protect the Giant up until this point; and after being nearly obliterated he still chooses to stand by him.
I find it interesting that the Giant's targeting system only targets the gun and not Hogarth himself. Like, it specifically redirects itself when Hogarth starts moving it around to try and follow it
I'm still pretty sure he was built for conquering and not really self defense because that nightmare scene is definitely a nightmare like freaking nazi shit on steroids.
@@keyspirits95 we sadly just don't know this movie brilliantly had so many questions worth answering reasons why I want sequels especially since there's a galactic war out there non stop meaning earth is still on the list to be checked.
Even more heartbreaking to know that Dean is technically correct. Alien robots with that kind of weaponry can only mean he was purposed with destroying Earth. Thankfully his memory was wiped, and Hogarth put him on the path of good, when any other bratty kid would’ve said “smash, do some damage! Be a giant robot!”
Do you really think they’d send one robot to destroy the earth or hundreds because in the deleted scene there were hundreds. It crash landed there on accident and lost its memories
There’s a deleted scene where the Giant has a glimpse of his past. It was on a different planet, where it was in complete destruction, and an army of similar giants march through the ruins, hunting survivors, while the friendly giant was in his battle mode. Pretty dark territory, that further supports Dean’s criticism against the giant.
@@rebel1717 Ah yes. That was a really good scene. Though I can see why they cut it, since it ruins the plot twist in the end where it's revealed that the giant was in fact built to be a killing machine like Mansley suspected.
When I saw this movie then fast and furious 2 years later could not believe that the guy who played the meat head in that movie was the same one that played this gental loving robot in this movie
Anybody else notice that the first time around in this scene, Hogarth was totally oblivious to the fact that he almost got vaporized? Even when the extent of the blast was noticeable to us, the audience, and perhaps to Dean, Hogarth's first matter of business was seeing how the Giant was doing. Totally emotional scene in a classic movie such as this one for sure.
He had enough, if you take the deleted dream scene into consideration (which was reinserted into more recent versions of the film) Dean watched The Giant blow a planet up
@@mrcritical6751 well… it wasn’t the giant that blew up the planet, what I like to believe is that the alien civilisation that created the giant were the ones that invaded and destroyed the planet either using the army of iron giants or using a planetary annihilation weapon.
@@Shregurun93 yeah I think that could be a possibility too, but the dream sequence showed the giants chest mounted weapon charging up before the planet exploded...so maybe all the giants used that weapon at once causing the planet to explode and sending all the giants scattered through space, eventually leading the giant we know to drift towards Earth, or maybe he was sent deliberately who knows.
This scene is so good, because everyone's actions are perfectly understandable. The Giant is understandably confused and horrified, Hogarth sees the good in him and understands it was an accident, and even Dean's anger was completely reasonable (if he hadn't stepped in, Hogarth would have died.)
That's the whole film. Everyone's actions are always perfectly understandable. The military are all pretty reasonable people, even though they could have easily been caricatures - when they recover the screw at the end of the film, the general doesn't take it to study, he gives it to Hogarth. Even the bad guy Kent acts like a real person with his values might.

This movie made me emotional when i was 8 and i am almost 19 and still makes me emotional. Giant was built to be a weapon. But he choose to be nicer and friendly with his human friend. Shows that he still had feelings and cared. Especially when he said "No, stop... why" Even he doesnt want to hurt Hogarth... but his defense mechanism got triggered. I just love this movie and nobody can change my mind.
His "No, stop... Why?" hurt so much because he never understood why Dean, someone who he also became friends with, started to shoo him away. He never realized his self-defense mechanism nearly killed Hogarth, and he doesn't even know its existence since he loses his consciousness when said mechanism is triggered. Even when Dean points at the shot he made, he just can't believe that he was actually capable of killing his only friends and becomes horrified. Iron Giant is just absolutely precious, I wanna give him a hug.
It's not like the giant could have been able to tell the difference I doubt that his sensors or scanners or whatever the heck he uses would be able to differentiate between a real weapon and a fake one
I love how they animated Giant’s expression when he realizes what he’s done. I feel like a lesser storyteller would’ve had him moping and hanging his head. But no, he’s horrified, he’s just as confused as Hogarth! That makes him much more sympathetic, thus further warranting the sudden tone shift.
Makes me really wonder if these guys were actually made for self-defense purposes. Until some backstabber installed a programming and them similar to Order 66 to betray. Their original purpose for a new one. Even though the clones and Star Wars were always meant to eradicate the jedi. And be the very first generation of soldiers for the empire, until regular natural born could join.
Maybe have Hogarth be older, or in his teen years. Also, there’d have to be a new story than just teaching the Giant about the world. Maybe there can be some action elements where more of the Giant’s kind comes to invade and destroy Earth.
There's a copyright claim on this video. I don't legal own it so RUclips can reset comments or even take this down if they wanted to. :( I'm sad because I loved reading the comments and reading peoples thoughts about this movie but there's nothing I can do.
I remember watching this from my childhood in theaters, though in the deleted scene when the giant had a dream was even more sadder to see. Brings me back memories looking at this movie, I liked how Dean came and saved Hogarth from getting blasted, but this was sad to hear giant say "I'm not gun" they were only having fun but Hogarth doesn't know that giant's defense mechanism is reacting to guns that can shoot at him.
0:18 that is terrifying. The fact that Hogarth is completely unaware of the fact that the giant almost killed him only to realize it when he points the gun again.
What makes this scene even more sad is that giant realized that nightmare he had was real and is probably worried about the rest of his kind coming to Earth for what they were built to do invade but why earth we do not yet know Maybe because there's something about value, something alien on that planet they want or maybe it's just because they're afraid humans will be as thorn of their side in the future Maybe that's the reason this is all happening They start wars before they could start and end them before they could really end. This is self preservation may be, which would make perfect sense.Why these guys invade planets.
It's a true indictment of the publicity/marketing that such a good film which was so universally praised (and to this day has a massive and passionate cult fan base) significantly failed to even make back it's own budget.
Test screenings in April 1999 were arranged to help reverse the lack of confidence Warner Brothers had in The Iron Giant thanks to the failure of Quest for Camelot. Unfortunately, a month before the screenings began, Warner Brothers released in theaters The King & I, which ultimately erased any confidence Warner Brothers had left in The Iron Giant.
to the people saying dean was overreacting, dean cared a lot about hogarth, and he did not know anything about the giant so when the giant suddenly started firing weapons he did not know what was causing it so he was instinctively reacting to protect Hogarth. it was only later he realized weapons and weapon-shaped items activate the giant's self-defense mechanism.
This scene was both sad and tragic The way dean harshly disowns the giant by calling him a weapon that way is so tragic but when that moment passed he noticed that he was only reacted defensively and realized the error of his way and wanted recorrect his mistake so I do like all the scenes in this movie except this one cause it's so sad and tragic but the ending of it was okay and even though I don't like this part except the ending of it I still like this movie and you people have scene some little boys give up on strange things from another world but did Hogarth gave up on the iron giant no he didn't neither did dean (mostly) p.s like all of you I to like this movie allot cause of the message it gives and the heartwarming moments it shows and most of all Brad bird for his take on animation just to be fair and just wish that brad and the writers would change/edit a few for things before they release the final movie like the part where dean yelled at the giant
I always watched this movie when i was a kid, it wasnt till this year i realized the Giant basically is not ONLY programmed, but has PTSD basically. It wasnt till i was older I realized its actually more of a sad kids movie than a kids action movie witch i thought as a kid.
He's literally just a soldier more than a gun. A cousin soldier can still choose a gun, doesn't Man, if we ever did get us equal, I would have loved to see it explore giant Guilt and regret from his years of service. Similar to rambo did a perfect job of showing how destructive pdsd can be, especially how powerless soldiers feel when they're integrated in a society that does not care about them.
The iron giant, any robot for that matter can fight it, be more then machine, be human. But they can’t fight their original programming without help, without strength, the reason his weaponry was reactivated was the idea of Hogarth’s little toy gun being an alien weapon charging towards him. Iron giant had programmed instincts for those specific weapons, implying that he was built for war against something that had weapons producing that same light, that same sound.
The giants were built to take over/destroy planets, shown by a deleted scene right before this one where the giant has a flashback in his sleep They’re likely programmed that way to obliterate the military of the planet and not the civilians
Man, it always breaks my heart whenever i see the Giant scolded by Dean... i think the animation of the Giant and how it's done is how it really gets to me. damn you Animation Team! damn you!
Well if people already saw this video, they spoiled themselves. Also, you’re right, the Giant landed on Earth as a living weapon. Once his memory was wiped, or his CPU was busted, or whatever, then we was given free will, in which Hogarth lead him on the path of good.
Something no one talks about is how the movie doesn't make villains out of people who use guns. The Giant targets weapons, not the people holding them. Its a nice subtle detail no one ever mentions.
I like to think that given the deleted scene where we get to see the giants dream maybe he has some sort of repressed ptsd of a time where he was forced to be a weapon
Just imagine for a minute that you are the Giant, you're playing innocent kids games with your little friend, when suddenly your vision goes starry for a few seconds and then you come to with no memory of what just happened. As soon as you come to, you find that your two little friends have suddenly vanished and when you find them hiding under a car, one of them begins to harshly reprimand you and tells you to back off for reasons you don't yet understand.
It’s so sad that when Giant’s defense programs actives by any kind of small threat and comes out of it he doesn’t understand what or why it’s happening to him and is so confused when his friends are so scared of him the next and it breaks his heart knowing his hated by the ones he cares for.
The greatest thing about this film is that Brad Bird turned something tragic into a masterpiece. He initially came up with the idea of "what if a gun had a soul but didn't want to be a gun" after his sister was murdered.
I remember seeing this and thinking that he could've come from a planet like the planet from "the day the earth stood still" where the humans gave the robots absolute power over humans and if anyone tried to start a war the robots would completely destroy them all, and in this way they prevented wars.
What I love about this scene is that Dean wasn't afraid of the giant neutralising him with his eye beams. He didn't know whether the giant was going to reactivate his weaponry, but it's a risk he took in order to keep Hogarth safe.
That's what surprised TOO about the scene for many years. Risking his life to save Hogarth.
A heroic step-dad in the making, through and through.
Same in the Simpsons Movie which is why they should’ve just chased Homer and only Homer.
Definitely some protective instincts kicked in with him.

Shows that he still had feelings and cared. Especially when he said "No, stop... why" Even he doesnt want to hurt Hogarth... but his defense mechanism got triggered. I just love this movie and nobody can change my mind.
His "No, stop... Why?" hurt so much because he never understood why Dean, someone who he also became friends with, started to shoo him away. He never realized his self-defense mechanism nearly killed Hogarth, and he doesn't even know its existence since he loses his consciousness when said mechanism is triggered. Even when Dean points at the shot he made, he just can't believe that he was actually capable of killing his only friends and becomes horrified.
Iron Giant is just absolutely precious, I wanna give him a hug.
It was a defensive reaction to the gun!
That " I superman" was so wholesome
He reacted to the gun.
Liam Watson a fake gun
It's not like the giant could have been able to tell the difference I doubt that his sensors or scanners or whatever the heck he uses would be able to differentiate between a real weapon and a fake one
Exactly.
@@alexconn7473 , excellent point- I was thinking the same thing.
Isn’t that what dean says though after the giant runs away
Dean: Kent, he only reacts defensively, if you don't shoot, he's harmless. You gotta tell the general.
Kent: HE MURDERED A KID GENERAL
He was never aiming at Hogarth. He was aiming at the gun...
Vats in nutshell I really hated how fallout 4 you could not get rid of weapons anymore.
1:11: Dean's got fear of the unknown in his eyes, mixed with protective anger.
The moment Dean graduated from cool-older-brother to father-figure.
This scene beautifully exemplifies what my cat is like when we’re playing and he gets a little TOO dialed in. He suddenly gets those bloodthirsty eyes
Uh man... this is soul crushing...
His Soul 🚂 Got Hurt 💔, But Souls Don't Die
I love how they animated Giant’s expression when he realizes what he’s done. I feel like a lesser storyteller would’ve had him moping and hanging his head. But no, he’s horrified, he’s just as confused as Hogarth! That makes him much more sympathetic, thus further warranting the sudden tone shift.
Giant: *sees a weapon*
“Good soldiers follow orders…”
Makes me really wonder if these guys were actually made for self-defense purposes. Until some backstabber installed a programming and them similar to Order 66 to betray. Their original purpose for a new one. Even though the clones and Star Wars were always meant to eradicate the jedi. And be the very first generation of soldiers for the empire, until regular natural born could join.
The giant knew he was in a kids show, so he decided not to kill him
You know I really hope they make a sequel where hogarth and the giant reunite years later.
Maybe have Hogarth be older, or in his teen years. Also, there’d have to be a new story than just teaching the Giant about the world. Maybe there can be some action elements where more of the Giant’s kind comes to invade and destroy Earth.
it's not gonna happen because the movie was a failure at the box office
@@aidanbarnes4290 who cares what the box office says?
@@ryanmatthews3609 the people who work at Hollywood apparently they need money in order to make a sequel
@@aidanbarnes4290 It may have been a Box Office failure, but it still achieved wide popularity.
0:03 lol 😂
In fact, there were a ton of comments on here that have seemingly been erased.
What is the reason for this?
There's a copyright claim on this video.
I don't legal own it so RUclips can reset comments or even take this down if they wanted to. :(
I'm sad because I loved reading the comments and reading peoples thoughts about this movie but there's nothing I can do.
Spotted (4) haha
I remember watching this from my childhood in theaters, though in the deleted scene when the giant had a dream was even more sadder to see. Brings me back memories looking at this movie, I liked how Dean came and saved Hogarth from getting blasted, but this was sad to hear giant say "I'm not gun" they were only having fun but Hogarth doesn't know that giant's defense mechanism is reacting to guns that can shoot at him.
0:18 that is terrifying. The fact that Hogarth is completely unaware of the fact that the giant almost killed him only to realize it when he points the gun again.
Vin diesel did such a great job creating the giant's voice. Nobody could've done it better than him.
Attacking him is triggering a defense mechanism
This scene scared the crap out of me as a kid.
What makes this scene even more sad is that giant realized that nightmare he had was real and is probably worried about the rest of his kind coming to Earth for what they were built to do invade but why earth we do not yet know Maybe because there's something about value, something alien on that planet they want or maybe it's just because they're afraid humans will be as thorn of their side in the future Maybe that's the reason this is all happening They start wars before they could start and end them before they could really end. This is self preservation may be, which would make perfect sense.Why these guys invade planets.
A truly great film for all ages. It sucks the suits screwed up the marketing for this wonderful movie.
It's a true indictment of the publicity/marketing that such a good film which was so universally praised (and to this day has a massive and passionate cult fan base) significantly failed to even make back it's own budget.
Test screenings in April 1999 were arranged to help reverse the lack of confidence Warner Brothers had in The Iron Giant thanks to the failure of Quest for Camelot. Unfortunately, a month before the screenings began, Warner Brothers released in theaters The King & I, which ultimately erased any confidence Warner Brothers had left in The Iron Giant.
to the people saying dean was overreacting, dean cared a lot about hogarth, and he did not know anything about the giant so when the giant suddenly started firing weapons he did not know what was causing it so he was instinctively reacting to protect Hogarth. it was only later he realized weapons and weapon-shaped items activate the giant's self-defense mechanism.
Why would they say that? He has a right to be suspicious
“I not gun.”kinda had me laughing ngl
This scene was both sad and tragic The way dean harshly disowns the giant by calling him a weapon that way is so tragic but when that moment passed he noticed that he was only reacted defensively and realized the error of his way and wanted recorrect his mistake so I do like all the scenes in this movie except this one cause it's so sad and tragic but the ending of it was okay and even though I don't like this part except the ending of it I still like this movie and you people have scene some little boys give up on strange things from another world but did Hogarth gave up on the iron giant no he didn't neither did dean (mostly) p.s like all of you I to like this movie allot cause of the message it gives and the heartwarming moments it shows and most of all Brad bird for his take on animation just to be fair and just wish that brad and the writers would change/edit a few for things before they release the final movie like the part where dean yelled at the giant
But why... why on gods earth.....
Oh and I'm also a fan of hand drawn animation even though it takes forever but yet it's worth it but never was much of a computer animation fan
I always watched this movie when i was a kid, it wasnt till this year i realized the Giant basically is not ONLY programmed, but has PTSD basically.
It wasnt till i was older I realized its actually more of a sad kids movie than a kids action movie witch i thought as a kid.
He's literally just a soldier more than a gun. A cousin soldier can still choose a gun, doesn't
Man, if we ever did get us equal, I would have loved to see it explore giant Guilt and regret from his years of service. Similar to rambo did a perfect job of showing how destructive pdsd can be, especially how powerless soldiers feel when they're integrated in a society that does not care about them.
Why is no one else talking about how cool the Giant’s eye lasers sound? Seriously, the sound design in this movie is on point.
The iron giant, any robot for that matter can fight it, be more then machine, be human. But they can’t fight their original programming without help, without strength, the reason his weaponry was reactivated was the idea of Hogarth’s little toy gun being an alien weapon charging towards him. Iron giant had programmed instincts for those specific weapons, implying that he was built for war against something that had weapons producing that same light, that same sound.
The giants were built to take over/destroy planets, shown by a deleted scene right before this one where the giant has a flashback in his sleep
They’re likely programmed that way to obliterate the military of the planet and not the civilians
Man, it always breaks my heart whenever i see the Giant scolded by Dean...
i think the animation of the Giant and how it's done is how it really gets to me.
damn you Animation Team! damn you!
Oh how I wish there was a sequel.
And giant starts the great rebellion against thier tyrannical creator fuck yeah 👍
Bad dog vibes.
You almost did *that* to Hogarth! (it starts snowing)
He can't do that with his raygun, his eyes hypnotized and laser blast on him! "This was defensive, he reacted to the gun!"
The way the iron giant says momo tomo is adorable
he said no automo lol
Iron giant:I sthuper-man✨
This scene is almost sadder than the ending
“I am NOT a gun.”
The Giant was meant to be a weapon but he doesn't want to be, sorry if I'm spoiling it
Well if people already saw this video, they spoiled themselves. Also, you’re right, the Giant landed on Earth as a living weapon. Once his memory was wiped, or his CPU was busted, or whatever, then we was given free will, in which Hogarth lead him on the path of good.
Whatever built him, sure knew what it was doing when it came to the giants defensive capabilities just to mention one.
@luthermcgee432 Whoever did made them as obviously a complete wacko Like some doctor nefarious shit.lol
Poor iron got sad
Super Mario friends 0:38
Something no one talks about is how the movie doesn't make villains out of people who use guns.
The Giant targets weapons, not the people holding them.
Its a nice subtle detail no one ever mentions.
No atomo 😂
I'm superman!
@@fullmetalgamer6062 Ok, Superman. TAKE THIS!!!
@@RCSXDV 0:19 - 0:25 🔴_🔴💥
What happened to my comment?
It's not here anymore.
Iron giant: I'm Superman
Hogarth: okay Superman take this!
Iron giant: Heat vision activated 0:19
I like to think that given the deleted scene where we get to see the giants dream maybe he has some sort of repressed ptsd of a time where he was forced to be a weapon
“No Atomo.”
Totally hints towards the I choose to be Superman when hogarth calls him atomo but he goes "no I Superman" 😭
Dean said get back to a 50 feet tall metal giant, that requires balls!!!
Ikr especially considering he just witnessed him using lazer eyes that could have completely incinerated him and Hogarth...man's got balls of steel.
The directors pitch for this movie was what if a gun had a soul but didn’t wanna be a gun
My heart 💔
fuebis 1:23
I’m crying so hard bro
Just imagine for a minute that you are the Giant, you're playing innocent kids games with your little friend, when suddenly your vision goes starry for a few seconds and then you come to with no memory of what just happened. As soon as you come to, you find that your two little friends have suddenly vanished and when you find them hiding under a car, one of them begins to harshly reprimand you and tells you to back off for reasons you don't yet understand.
Stitch/ iron giant has a glitch
There is no way Hogarth is really a Superman fan considering he should know that a robot imitating Superman never ends well.
I always thought that in this scene he really was like Superman and was imitating his heat vision.
Fun fact: the movie is based around the idea of "what if we made a movie about a gun, that had feelings and didnt want to be a gun?"
It’s so sad that when Giant’s defense programs actives by any kind of small threat and comes out of it he doesn’t understand what or why it’s happening to him and is so confused when his friends are so scared of him the next and it breaks his heart knowing his hated by the ones he cares for.
I finally brought back my memory
Dean: GET BACK! I SAID GET BACK I MEAN IT!
"Get back! I said, get back! I mean it!"
No. Stop. Why?
The greatest thing about this film is that Brad Bird turned something tragic into a masterpiece. He initially came up with the idea of "what if a gun had a soul but didn't want to be a gun" after his sister was murdered.
Dean almost became a secondary antagonist in this scene.
“Jellybean isn’t mid, she’s just a kid and doesn’t deserve all the hate” 0:18

@@dylanmoore3201 based
jellybeans content is harmless, yeah its cringy but that doesnt warrant harassment and doxing of a minor, if you dont like it just dont watch it
I remember seeing this and thinking that he could've come from a planet like the planet from "the day the earth stood still" where the humans gave the robots absolute power over humans and if anyone tried to start a war the robots would completely destroy them all, and in this way they prevented wars.
“Heat beam eye blast”
The iron giant has emotions
He has a reactionary defense mechanism, something I didn't understand as a kid.
No Giant, You are Groot! 😂
