The Only Difference Between This Dog and an Actual Wolf

[@williamnone]

Jack pays his respects even to his enemies. In this gesture he shows wisdom and compassion. These things are in short supply these days.

[@1LEgGOdt]

Nah those things are not in short supply these days, they’re still in excess, we just have a hard time finding their purest form.

[@Brazilian-cara]

Opponent, not enemy

[@SmokeDrake]

The wolf wasn't an enemy. It was just another being trying to survive.

[@Genel_mudur_53]

"Do you want to be respected? Then be respectful to everyone. It doesn't matter if they are friends or enemies, even if they want to kill you or kill you or do something bad, they either do it unknowingly or knowingly, that's their problem. But one of the things I've learned so far is that respect is not given to honest, good, brave, heroic people, but to those who deserve it. Never forget that. If you forget that, then you can't earn that respect. Even if you do, it's fake respect. Do what's right and proper, the rest will be questioned or keep it to yourself."

[@dracodraco1982]

The distinction being, for those unaware, is not every opponent or adversary is inherently evil or motivated by personal animus. Good and evil, as enemies (and to a lesser degree, adversaries) implies are natural enemies. Their intrinsic qualities are definitionally opposed, there can be no accord, no treaty, no trust with such an enemy. ..but that's rarely the case. Not everyone on the other side of a situation got there on purpose, they aren't self-attracting, self-annhilating pairs like virtual particles in the quantum realm. They're just the people who wound up on the other side of a matter, it need be no more than that. Just cause you fought with someone doesn't mean they aren't a friend -- before, after, or during. It might sound like a petty difference, enemy from opponent, but it means the world. With an enemy, in this sense of the word, there can only be conflict; with an opponent, understanding, alliance, friendship, reconciliation, justice those hopeful avenues into possible futures exist and are preserved. One means destruction, and the other is a vast gulf of potential. It's the very difference between the sheep and their guardian dog. One is shallow, ignorant, naive and the other wise and introspective. The former won't think to take a lesson in any form from this turn of events, while the latter is liable to come away wiser.

[@metanightmare4454]

The first sheep's pragmatic response was honestly fair because it focused on how the wolf's death was good for them, but the rest made the mistake of taking the principles of nature personally. They were just being spiteful.

It makes me very angry

[@CrimsonQuill086]

The cast's acting is astonishingly good. Every inflection, every little bit of tone is spot on, and Jack just radiates anger, and understanding, and a wounded compassion. It's perfect.

[@yellow_jacket3260]

Empathy I feel is a confusing thing to some people. Expressing understanding to something that isn’t even worth being understood is viewed by most as frivolous, but when you do, you can understand things that you would never be able to in the first place.

[@gsamalot]

It one of the more sad things as human are the reason wolfs an many animals are in the situation their in now. Yet no matter how much we try to help there only so much we can do with the state of things.

[@tankedwarthog6424]

That was chilling. The repressed anger in Jacks voice, the emotions are just flowing with every word he speaks. This was great👏👏👏.

A few minutes after the Sheep leave. Big Jack: He one of yours? Alpha: (sits across from Jack) Yes. Big Jack: I’m sorry, Truly. Alpha: … don’t be, it’s the natural order of things. Big Jack: nothin natural about being forced from your home, and watch your prey be driven off. Alpha: Maybe… or maybe Nature has decreed that our time is done… the strongest survive after all, and there ain’t none stronger than those you call, Master. Big Jack: … how can ya be so resigned to it? Alpha: I’ve always trusted in nature’s will, since I was a pup, it’s kept me alive… if it’s nature’s will that we give way to those you call Master… who am I to argue, I’ am as bound to Nature’s laws as you or them… in time, they will experience the same, either another will come along and remind them they are NOT invincible, or they will face a challenge too great to overcome. (Looks up) Alpha: will you say then as well, that it isn’t natural? Big Jack: … why tell me this? Alpha: you offered words of wisdom to our younguns once before, you show respect to our fallen (get’s up to leave) I simply wished to return the favour (walks off) Big Jack: … (looks down at corpse of young wolf) … Snow will cover you soon friend… sleep now, you’ve earned it (returns to duty).

[@jexelbur6872]

Despite the justification, Jack never says what the wolves do is “good”. And if he was the one who killed the wolf, he wouldn’t say it’s a good thing he killed it or even it’s bad that the wolf died. Jack is just doing his job to protect the sheep, and the wolves are doing their job to survive. It’s just a consequence of living.

[@Infernalhag]

Man stories like these are scarce to make analogies towards something simple to something greater and it ashamed people have little to media literacy or maturity to truly appreciate stuff like this Edit: I think I was trying to say we don't get enough deep fable stories like these anymore I can see this as an analogy towards poverty we see homeless people as crazy and unhinged but there this way due to circumstances that are out of there control allow them to be this way but any of us who are well off or decently well off would just become as unhinged we were in there place

[@Bgh583]

i suggest you read more books then. because this topic has been well covered for the last 100 years

[@Infernalhag]

@Bgh583 I mean I'm aware of that I'm trying saying a lot stories aren't made nowadays or at least they don't get that much attention and sure once I gain the patient to read and the attention span to read

[@marieroberts5664]

​@@Bgh583 yes it has been...a hundred years ago. Lately? Not so much.

[@marieroberts5664]

Several hundred years ago, a wolf was ravening through the Italian countryside. The locals were up in arms, since they had been unable to kill it. But before the townsfolk could go to war on this animal, the man known as St. Francis of Assisi was consulted. And St. Francis agreed to speak to the wolf, to find out why it was attacking and get it to stop. So the saint went up into the hills and summoned the wolf, asking the question why? The wolf told him that all the prey had been driven off and he was alone and hungry. So Francis asked him to follow, as he had a solution. Into the center of town walks St Francis, with the wolf walking as peacefully by his side as any pet. The saint speaks: this wolf is not evil, but hungry, as all the prey has been driven away. He promises that so long as you feed him, he will not attack any of you or your flocks. If all in the village take feeding this wolf in turn, no one will be overburdened. Are we agreed? The townsfolk agreed, and from that day to the end of the wolf's life, he was fed by the entire town and the wolf and the people lived peacefully together, and the wolf became as tame as any dog. When the wolf died, the town mourned. And all learned a lesson in kindness. I don't think the kids are told these stories anymore, but this was the first thing I thought of. Kudos to the author.

[@crazy4sian]

You can hear the wolves mourning…

[@jaqhy-chan9884]

It’s heavier knowing that in the comic prior, Jack basically condemned them to that fate by denying them food. He mightve been doing his job, but one can imagine he still feels responsible.

[@Ghost7264]

Daggum. The comic was deep when I read it on Webtoons, but your dub gave it a whole new level. Props to you my guy.

[@JTBassvocals]

This reminds me of this quote from a Borderlands character, a robot, forgot his name, but it goes something like this: "I'm neither man nor woman, but both deserve more respect than you."

[@Saph-Fire]

Oof. Wow. That fekkin' hit HARD and DEEP; I felt that in my soul... 😦😣 Cuz Big Jack is absolutely right. Who can blame him for taking offense to the sheeps' remarks? And yet, all the while, he maintains an air of composure, wisdom, and respect that is COMmanded but not DEmanded - respect for the order of Nature AND for his (would-be) enemies. 😌 As he spoke, I'll bet that the irony of Big Jack being a descendant of the wolf - of being a closely-related carnivore himself, albeit domesticated - must have hit the flock like a punch to the gut. 😖 Mad props to him. 🧐✨🫡

[@blueflare3848]

Love the voice acting. I said this before on the last one, but the voices fit the characters so well.

[@Nilehunter-h5h]

I love how jack has no hatred for the wolves because he understands that they need to hunt to survive

[@saliuarts]

beautiful writing, incredible dialogue, love animation and most of all; i really really really loved the moral questions this poses about the "Us vs Them" and the need to survive. we dont choose where or to whom we are born, we come into this world kicking and screaming and perhaps rightfully so

[@colinz226]

IMHO your interpretation of Jack's voice is the best one. Maybe I'm weird, but it feels fitting for the herding dog and his flock to have an accent (Scottish?) The accent adds to his atmosphere of pragmatism and stoicism.

[@rrenkrieg7988]

there's three accents that i think would fit herding dogs pretty well, and Scottish was one of them, the other was Australian and the last is suprisingly Italian, due to me remembering my time with my grandparents maremma herding dog in a dairy and chicken ranch high up in Bergamo Italy

[@charliemar5872]

Well that sheep wants to live too. Being happy that the thing that hunts him is dead doesn't make him a douchebag either.

[@madworldfan123]

Yes the sheep wants to live. But, the sheep doesn't understand that the hunt doesn't automatically make the wolf cruel. The flock doesn't understand how lucky they are they have Big Jack for protection and the ability to eat when they want without hunting. They think what the wolf has done is cruel and mean, not realizing they only do it to survive, not torture. So what they're saying here is just out of line and needless, quite mean and douchey actually.

There's multiple representations this can be used for, the posh leisurely life the above average folks live and those who are living on the barest of enough that they can get. It's just a matter of survival folks. Don't be angry if the wolf snaps you up in the night to live.

[@EldridEinherjar]

People don’t gotta inflict cruelty on others to survive. I understand our world makes people desperate, but there’s still personal responsibility to take in. Being desperate isn’t an excuse for a lot of atrocities. “My wife is sucking the life out of me for child support while I’m buried alive in medical bills from a military injury. So sorry I had to snatch up your child and sell her to a pervert in eastern Europe.”

Sure, we must eat to survive. But if we have the ability and abundance to have a different pick of food shouldn't we do so?
