Bushroots been plaguing me with this song for a good few days now and this is the result
Gonna ramble about him so. Read if you wanna
I'm not the biggest bushroot fan due to people infantilizing him (dt17 included) but it's important to me that it's acknowledged that he is not innocent and he's not a good person
In his introduction episode the first thing he does once he gets powers is to go kill people, yes they did bully him and make him lose his job, however that's no grounds for murdering individuals
additionally, once he received the smallest ounce of affection, he proceeded to kidnap the only person who was nice to him and force her into a scenario she didn't want to be a part of. The fact these were the first things be thought of doing shows that he's been thinking about it even before he got his powers, he simply couldn't act on them because he's, well, a loser. The moment he felt some power he completely abused it
"I don't want to be a plant!"
"oh you'll grow to love it"
that's honestly awful.
that episode aside, him creating living creatures to be his wife/girlfriend is also incredibly strange and unhealthy behaviour. those beings will never know a life outside him, never know anyone else, their sole purpose is to be his partner, which again–is weird.
Then with Spike, he created him, and he refuses to acknowledge him and treat him well at all, which is awful behaviour considering Spike is also stuck with Bushroot. (and that's not even to mention that Bushroot doesn't even appreciate plants that much either, if that were the case he wouldn't abuse his dog-like companion)
all that is to say, 2017 ducktales claiming that he's "not a villain" is an absurd take. he's incredibly selfish and has an insane victim complex .
there's definitely more but also sighhhhh. bushroot is a very interesting character and his flaws and awful personality is what make him great, these things shouldn't be tossed aside for the 'misunderstood trope'. he's not that.
