Kent Mansley, Work For The Government.

I...wasn't gonna say that.
Movie is 'The Iron Giant'. Thumbnail art done by me.

[@952shadowman]

I find it funny that Christopher Mcdonald plays the character perfectly as well as the fact he looks like Clark Kent without glasses, ironically(no pun intended) the Iron Giant is inspired by Superman to which Hogarth introduced him to, so many different cliches and connections almost. Also wouldnt Kent be in the right because of this giant robot despite the fact it wasnt trying to destroy humanity? But people back then would react the same way seeing a giant robot like that?

[@StarredDemation]

Those are some nifty facts! I believe a lot of people would've reacted the way he did. Not that I necessarily think he was doing it for his country or protection but rather selfishness, paranoia, and fear of the unknown. Being sick and tired of playing second banana and being the butt of every joke as well as being sent to unimportant places I feel like his ultimate goal was to just get recognition and fame, move up the ranks, feel important. Paired with a desire to live and a helping of cowardice as well as selfishness and a willingness to sacrifice others to better himself, I'd say that's a dangerous combination. Yet he wouldn't be the ass hat we all know and love without it.

[@user-fp3yc9hm6m]

Kent’s reaction up until he lied about the Iron Giant killing Hogarth were perfectly justified. Within a week the Iron Giant caused a mass blackout, a train wreck and multiple counts of personal property damage. Earlier this year the US send fighter jets just because a balloon was flying too close. So mobilizing the army for an autonomous walking weapon doesn’t really seem that far fetched.

[@trianglemoebius]

@@user-fp3yc9hm6m Kent was justified in his beliefs, but not his action. Even aside from claiming Hogarth died, he was doing all sorts of weird shit like staying in someone's private home (which, even though it was offered up, is unconstitutional), and the way he treated Hogarth. Kent is a perfect example of an old saying: "Don't the wrong things for the right reasons doesn't make your actions right."

[@yanivproselkov4555]

any correctness he has gets blown to smitherines when he calls a nuclear strike on his own country and on himself

[@theguybehindyou4762]

I can't help sympathizing with him. His job started out with discovering his car had been bitten into like a sandwich, which would mess with anyone's head on a good day, but then all the clues led to this one kid who did everything possible to hinder Kent's investigation into something that, for all he knew, could threaten the entire world which is already on the brink of annihilating itself- a fact that is weighing heavily on him, as his meltdown at the ice cream shoppe demonstrated. Looking back, him taking heavy handed measures with that little shit made perfect sense from his perspective, given everything he'd been through up until then. To have that all result in him being utterly humiliated in front of the army and berated by its commander must have left him in a bad place on the ride back to Washington. To then look back and see the metal monster out in the open was likely the point at which he completely snapped, both from frustration and pure terror.

Back when I first saw saw context-less clips of the movie, I assumed Kent was Hogarth's Step-Father. While I was wrong, I can't help but feel like that minor change would have switched the dynamic in the movie _drastically,_ maybe it would even have made Kent a bigger issue, because A - Hogarth has to lie to his Dad, and not some "weird guy", and B - Kent would be hesitant to pull off any of his sleazier tricks, all while _terrified_ for his son's safety. I see a lot of people in the comments justifying his actions (not behaviour, because while I wouldn't want to talk to him, I get his paranoia), but I feel like he kinda crossed the line the second he started interrogating and almost threatening a kid. I think him being forced into a position where he has priorities beyond his basic desires and fears would result in a much more tense dynamic.

In the earlier days of seeing this movie, I didn't understand that Kent actually rented a room in Hogarth's house so I kept wondering why tf he was always around them like that, and why Hogarth's mom was allowing it.

Court following this movie: For trying to nuke the town, you are sentenced to life in prison. Court: Holy cow! 4:20 Ok add another 10 years for that one. Creep.

[@hexcodeff6624]

Thanks for giving subtitles for what happens on screen, very helpful

[@funkymonks8333]

In the polish dub he says "Hogarth? What a weirdo name, you could call a car or a bike that, I'd shoot myself if they called me Hogarth" and the dessert Hogarth shows to him is called the "duck shot" SHFJDH

[@itzfroggi22]

Sometimes I forget how cute Kent gets... Should really rewatch the movie.

[@FamilyHistoriandude]

The fact that he took a picture of Hogarth on the toilet right before the door was slammed in his face. One of those things you only notice when you're older.

[@TheGreatPandalf]

Y'know, I have a striking feeling that he's Kent Mansley and he works for the government.

[@stephenmckee3235]

Lol he totally was not paying attention to how Hogarth never sprinkled anything on his.

[@StarredDemation]

No problem. The voice acting for him was so good too omg.

[@Mrs.Nesmith98]

@@StarredDemation definitely!! McDonald was the perfect casting for him by far! Even though I read on IMBD that Arnold Schwarzenegger was suggested to play Mansley. Could you imagine?!🤣

[@StarredDemation]

@@Mrs.Nesmith98 oh god no. Thank God we're not in the universe where that happened. Meanwhile I'll be sitting over here thinking about live action Mansley being Conan O'Brien

[@Mrs.Nesmith98]

@@StarredDemation YES! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks of Conan looking like Mansley 🤣 thank God is right because I honestly can't see that going well .. I also heard George Clooney, and Martin Stewart were considered too.. but MacDonald does a flawless job on the character. Can't recreate it!

[@albertkirtlandjr6735]

@RetroChick98 Yes, he is a very handsome and attractive man. And he’s so expressive, too. Especially in the Cocolax scene 😂1:18.

his design reminds me of Conan a little bit. both Brad Bird (director of the movie) and Conan O’Brien worked on The Simpsons

Mansley, the world's most ironically named military news reporter.

[@ravenscarlettanis13]

I had a fanfic commissioned where Kent volunteers as a guinea pig for an untested drug in exchange for a reduced sentence. It goes completely wrong when Kent transforms into a werewolf due to the werewolf DNA in the drug. It’s great.

[@StarredDemation]

Well shoot now I'm interested XD

[@ravenscarlettanis13]

@@StarredDemation You want it? Here it is: Kent Mansley wore a sour grin on his face as he was wheeled into the dingy darkness of the grimy prison's laboratory. It was definitely NOT up to any safety codes, but as a man in prison for treason Manley knew his complaints would fall on deaf ears. The straps holding him to the gurney cut into his flesh even through his prison uniform, the tightness seemed deliberate; his captors wanted him as uncomfortable as possible. "So, how much time off do I get for getting stuck like this?" Mansley chuckled drily as a lab tech approached with a needle that was longer than Mansley's index finger, "I don't mind being your guinea pig, really. Just as long as I get a lollipop afterward" Manley added with a wink. "The serum we're testing tonight is designed to increase the user's strength and stamina..anything beyond that is redacted and need-to-know" "Oh goody, and if I die because of this drug?" "Then I guess you won't need to worry about prison food anymore" Mansley winced as the large needle pierced his arm, his light blue eyes peaking out a grimy window, just able to make out the shining brilliance of the night's full moon. "Huh, that wasn't so ba-uggh...urrrghh!" Mansley's words are cut off as a searing pain fills his body, his chest tightening as he spasms wildly. "My God!" He heard a voice say as ringing filled his ears, "His body, what's happening?" "You fool," another voice called, "the werewolf DNA in the serum was supposed to be negligible! We never should have tried this on a full moon!" Mansley gritted his teeth as he felt the straps press into his body even more, his chest swelling up unnaturally. He looked down at his body with a strangled gasp, watching his body change. *Schrrip!* The front of Mansley's prison jumpsuit ripped open, exposing his bare chest, the flesh warping and bubbling like water before tightening up like a drum. "Aghghghg!" Mansley cried as he felt his ribs crack and reform inside his body many times larger than was natural. His chest swelled with angry, defined musculature that easily tore through his clothing, pushing against the straps meant to restrain Manley, the gurney swaying as he bucked forward. He was blind to the chaos around him as he felt his body's DNA get rewritten. Mansley's palms were flat against his sides as he continued to shift and change rapidly. The veins in the back of his hand quivered wildly as jet-black werewolf blood coursed through them, his body on fire as the monster blood pumped through his body. *Crunch! Snap!* Mansley's eyes widened and he roared in agony, the bones in his hand exploding and breaking open like twigs, the sound and agony washing over him as his feet followed suit. Mansley's fingers and toes spread out, the digits lengthening past human capabilities. A whimper of agony slipped through Mansley's lips as his nails and toenails peeled off to be replaced by large, knife-like claws that burst through the tips of his new fingers and toes, the black claws razor-sharp. A long, drawn-out *crunch* filled Mansley's head, along with agonizing pressure as his jaw distended, blood filling his mouth as his teeth ripped from out of his gums, molars, and incisors clattering to the blood-soaked ground as his human teeth fell out. Mansley's eyes burned like fire as new, pristine, and powerful fangs tore through his gums, setting into place as his tongue tore and reformed into one that was large and wolf-like. His face extended painfully to form into a wolf's muzzle, his eyes no longer human, the light blue replaced by glistening yellow monochromatic ones. The last of the pain began to ebb as thick swathes of rust-colored fur began to sprout over Mansley's body, covering every inch of his flesh. His spine groaned monstrously as Manley felt an acute pressure at his lower back. He gritted his fangs as a long, imposing tail shot out of his lower back, covered in seconds by a brush of fur. The restraints finally snapped and Mansley stepped free of the tatters of his clothes and remains of his old body, now standing 3 feet taller than his human form, sporting an extra 20 lbs of pure muscle. *Ahrooooooooooo!!!* Now Mansley was free, and he was hungry. The lab techs didn't have a chance to react before he was upon them. His razor claws tore one man clear in two, and his jaws cleaved right through another's neck, decapitating them and filling his mouth with blood. As for the solitary prison guard, standing with his gun shakily aimed at the monster before him, Manley charged him madly. He felt the guard's bullets enter his body uselessly, and smelled his terror just before he crushed him against the wall brutally, turning the man to paste. The wall cracked with the impact, and as Mansley, idly licked the gore off the back of his paw he looked through the wide hole in the wall and up at the full moon. It was a good night for a hunt. *Awwwooooo!!!* (commissioned by me to HiddenFictions on Etsy)
