Home Alone From The Burglar's Perspective Is Absolutely WILD

[@elios7623]

when I was younger I didn't give it any thought.... but yeah this kid is mentally ill lol he did defend his home tho, psychopath or not

[@Nomsynho]

It's a wild juxtaposition, because while he absolutely did defend his home, he did it in the must messed up and deranged way imaginable... Definitely some grey area here. But I think the big one for me is that he didn't tell his family ANYTHING after the fact... Not a word... The kid was a straight up savage and tried to fuck up these burglars for sport, not even for the glory

​​@@elios7623 Kevin isn't a psycopath. Sure, some of Kevin's traps are very dangerous, but we know he wasn't out right trying to murder him. The real psycopath is the kid in Home Sweet Home who literally tried to murder the two burglars in every single way. SUCH AS INPALING THEM WITH ICE SPIKES.

[@ravenshrike]

The most impressive thing about Kevin is his ability to construct traps and clean the house in the time period he does. Every part of the house, including the tarred steps with nails on them, was clean except for Buzz's room by the time the adults got back.

Supposedly, that was a real life thing. It happened in the 70s or the 80s, I think. A guy dressed up as a policeman pretended to be a concerned cop securing the neighbourhood and ensuring that everyone was safe. But when one of the people called the police to make sure that his alarm system was up to code, he thanked them for having given his house a passing grade, and for sending a police officer around to make sure he was safe. "What are you talking about sir? We never sent anybody to your house."

Imagine if the last thing you saw before dying was a brick falling from the heavens. With nothing but a black void once it manages to somehow hit you square in the head.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

Kevin really is nuts. Sure, in the first movie he is defending himself from people and, due to phone lines being down, has no way to call the cops. In the second movie, he could just call the cops. Instead, he lures Harry and Marv to an abandoned apartment and uses CLEARLY lethal force against them. Now, as he was in his home in the first movie, he has an excuse but he had absolutely no legal justification to use such methods in the second movie as it wasn't his property and he created the scenario where he used lethal force. All that said, I have a hard time feeling bad for Harry or Marv as they were stealing from people not because they are desperate and need to but because they want to.

[@andrewprice6330]

Lethal force? Against normal people, sure. But these are the Wet Bandits- Kevin went all out against them the first time, with traps that would have put down anything short of a bear, and they still ended up getting him by the scruff of the neck. Now they're out on the streets on New York, and no one else realizes what menaces they are but Kevin. Sure it might seem like Kevin goes overboard from our perspective, but keep in mind... who wins in the end? Not Kevin- he has to be bailed out by the Pigeon Lady. Even after upgrading his traps to deal with these freakishly tough, borderline-immortal crooks, it's still not enough. Kevin's problem isn't that he went overboard, it's that he didn't go far enough.

[@mrfrog0913]

I mean, I haven't watched the second movie in a while, but don't they try to kill Kevin in that movie? I get your point though, in that movie he could have easily just avoided the wet bandits.

[@snowmeows3342]

These guys are clearly near-immortal. Marv tanks 6 bricks from a 3 story building straight to the skull, and a ton of voltage, while Harry turns his head into a firebomb and is barely phased

The phones were down for a bit but they were back up well before the robbery cause Kev was able to order a pizza by himself...

I thibk Kevib was justified in home alone 2 because 1. The sticky bandits chased him and explicitly were trying to kill him 2. Kevin was running from the law due to credit card fraud (most cops wouldn't know but he would assume they knew) 3.Harry and Marv were stealing from a children's hospital

[@louthinator]

Ironically if they had just given up on catching kevin when he went to the treehouse Harry and Marv could have at the very least go back downstairs and try and funnel the most expensive items out of the house into their van and drive away before the cops showed up. What's Kevin going to do? He doesn't have the strength necessary to outmatch you and you've already made it through the whole house so you know you've made it past all the traps at least in the house. Just cut your losses, take a couple things, and leave before things get even worse. He doesn't have your picture, so he'd have to go off of memory alone which can lead to some inconsistencies. That's what I would have done if I was a stereotypical movie criminal. Edit: Better yet cause I just thought of this, just don't follow him upstairs and rob the downstairs. If he disappears then you probably know he called the cops and can use that as a way to tell when to leave.

Like the scene with the fireplace it’s a regular fireplace that isn’t on but in kevs imagination he sees it as a moth chopping monster moving towards him in which he runs off & starts yelling.

Especially so, if we consider that in the second movie, Kevin straight up inserts himself into a situation he didn't need to be a part of just so he could serve justice with his own hands. He baited the bandits into following him onto an unoccupied house to then force them to play his sick tort games...

[@marcanthonynolan]

@@poochy2479 true that he might not call the cops initially cause he's having fun being independent and all and doesn't want the ride to end. Or maybe through kid logic he honestly believes his wish made his family disappear and alerting the cops might get him in trouble. Once he hears Harry say they are gonna come back around 9 o'clock there might be more pressure to alert the cops. Maybe even call in a anonymous tip about a plumbing van knocking over houses in the neighborhood. But yeah, Kevin's plan to get the burglars pinched at the neighbors place does keep him off the hook. So I can buy that. He probably wouldn't think they could trace the 911 call to his house, if they did that back then. For me the biggest plot hole in the movie is that he could get the house cleaned and back to normal that night before the next morning when the family showed up. There's no way he got all that tar off those steps that night. Lol Either way, the idea that he COULD have called the cops IS true, he had the means. He didn't tho cause he had reasons. It's kinda weird the the family wasn't trying to call him repeatedly throughout the time they were in Paris tho. I'd be checking every 15 mins until the lines were back up and then ringing it nonstop until my kid picked up. But I'm sure movie logic can weave its way out of that too lol

In one of the later movies Im pretty sure the robbers are replaced with a financially struggling couple who believe the psychopath of a child stole something valuable with them. As if the movies werent enough messed up when the subjects are actual comical criminals

This is a bit irrelevant, but in the middle of the video, I got an ad for Chill Guy crypto. Yes, that Chill Guy meme. I’m not joking.

NO DUH!!! Of course the pizza boy went first! He's in a Chicago PD uniform! They probably all think he's there for a Christmas bribe!

Kevin is truly a psychopath 😬 Would totally enjoy DOA - Dead or Alive from the POV of the big evil guy or maybe Planet of the Apes? Anyways, merry christmas 🎄

I haven't see either of them, I'll check 'em out

Do you know what we need a video about? How possible is for Kevin McCallister to set up each of his traps, and how fast would he have to be? There just is this trope in late 80's / early 90's movies where the hero can rig a whole house full of traps in MINUTES, which is feasible if they do that on a daily basis.
