You will learn to pity him. He is stuck in the cycle of abuseMy Dad is super verbally abusive and perpetually miserable. You feel a lot less sympathy once you realize the person doesn't want to help themselves so much as drag others down.
It's kind of crazy how that was a kids' show.Right? That show had to have been straight up terrifying to little kids.
I think they went too far
I dont believe I saw the last couple seasons, I assume he learned to love and appreciate Courage.
The next episode was some goose God falls in love with Muriel. And what does Courage do? He tries to make Eustace look good so she won't fall in love and run off with him, even though she would be better off with anyone but Eustace. I get that he doesn't want Muriel gone, but no way she would abandon him to stay with her toxic ex husband.In fairness, the Goose God (in keeping with his being a pastiche of the Greek gods, most of which were total jerks at best ) clearly didn't respect Muriel's boundaries and refused to take her polite "no" for an answer, and was fully intending on abducting her before Courage tricked him into falling in love with Eustace's truck and taking that up into the heavens with him instead. Without Courage's intervention, Muriel might not have been able to escape the Goose God's clutches on her own, and Courage would have been stuck with Eustace on Earth.

It's just messed up that after all the abuse he's trying to help Eustace get some.
Good lord, goose God? Is that a "Zeus having sex with mortals" reference?I think so. There wasn't a lot of explanation for him besides him just living in the clouds and wearing a toga. (So he is Greek.)
