[@mommygottaglock70]

Small theory: Greg wanting to the story to all be about himself could be because his parents spoil his younger brother and let him get away with anything. And him bullying Rowley not only is something his older brother does to him and he wanted to have someone he is older than to project the bullying onto but Manny is protected by his parents so he choose Rowley to pick on

[@zerd1801]

A valid point. While it doesn’t excuse his actions, it makes sense. Roderick gets to bully and scam Greg constantly, while Manny is treated like a prince. Greg’s a textbook middle child, and he’s created this inner fantasy where he’s the most important person. Unfortunately, this leads him to treat everyone around him like dirt, and creates constant problems. If he just stopped to think about how his actions affect his family and friends, he might have a change of heart.

[@LoganWH8]

I’d kind of like a retelling of one of the early Wimpy Kid stories from Rowley’s perspective. One of the few things I found sympathetic about Greg in his own story was that other than Rowley, the entire world; other kids, teachers, even his own family all seemed uncaring if not outright cruel to him by default, and certain concepts, like them having to sit at the piano room during lunch and the bullies forcing them to eat the cheese seem like things that actually happened rather than Greg’s spin on things, so I would be interested to see Rowley’s perspective on that kind of event, since his accounts seems to be honest, if naive, so it would be a good lens to judge if their world is actually as cruel and unfair as Greg makes it out to be.

"Garg must've loosened it." ah yes exactly why he couldn't pull the sword out

[@lance499]

Greg already lost it when rowley REVEALED the book, so its canon

[@jayaviation4397]

Dude. I remember when I was like 10 and I laughed at this stuff in diary of a wimpy kid.

[@eden8992]

I know it's just a story, but it's extremely frustrating how much of a parasite Greg is on Rowley and how Rowley will never realize because of how dense and innocent he is. I wish Rowley would permanently leave Greg and have him realize that if it weren't for Rowley, he wouldn't have anyone around who actually liked him.

[@IamPatrickStar]

Yeah but sadly you know his parents, they’ll never teach if about maturing as he grows up, keeping him from not acting like a 5 year old, so he’ll never be able to realize how terrible of a friend Greg is

[@TheDracoStar]

Ya know, I'm kind of angry at this. Like, Greg here wants to ruin something that someone wants to do because he thinks it will benefit him. I mean wow, not everything has to be an award winning franchise, sure it can be a hope but that doesn't have to be the main goal. Besides, it wasn't about him. It was about a character similar to Rowley and his adventures, that's was it, that was all there really was. Instead, Greg wants to turn it about himself and how he thinks the story should be written. I'm not gonna just self-inserting, hell that's why I kind of do a lot of the time. But a story is meant to be written from the heart usually, it should have to appeal to someone else all the time, it's like with this story series my mom reads. She mentioned that people complained that there was too much sex then when there was a book without ANY sex they still complained about it. Another comparison is the whole 'art fixing' thing, ya know where people fix art and make normally Asian characters from anime black or have some kind of weird skin thing or some third thing I can't think of. That's something I hate and I'm not gonna even get started on that whole problem. Then this would turn into an essay about that problem. I know that this is a children's book but I mean... they are just piling on more and more reasons to hate the main character. If I were to read the books now, I'd probably hate the whole experience. At this point, Greg should Zoo-wee his last Mama and just bow out.

@@CringeLord471 Fair point but a few short words wouldn't really explain how I feel about all of this tbh.

[@dosomestuff1949]

Dude. Stop looking at Greg’s actions WITHIN the story as actual flaws in the story. This was the intention we were supposed to see how Greg is from rowley perspective. So stop saying this is an actual flaw within the storyline cuz it’s not

Rowley should write his own journal in secret without the influence of Greg in possible future novels but who knows Greg possibly was Rowley’s house full of cameras

[@lukesstuff5112]

Greg’s mind is to filled with being famous

[@aniruddhramkumar6361]

I won't be surprised if Rowley wrote the entire book, and greg manipulates him into giving the money and says, "If it weren't for my awseome self, this character wouldn't exist, and he would probably take 75 percent of the money

[@madamcreepypasta7569]

I used to read diary of a wimpy kid all the time. Now that I'm older I reread some of them and greg freaks me out fr. I think movie greg has more character development, but book greg is the canon and official greg so idk anymore. lol. I still love the story but greg is very problematic. Rodrick is the true hero of the Heffley family!

[@LatinoHeat77]

When I read the books in school, i thought of Greg as someone who wants to make it. His drive and determination. But now, hes a lazy person who wants everything handed to him. If I ever met him, I would want to disown him

[@ParkerTheGarageDoorGuy]

I realize the sad truth that Greg is really toxic and tries to be cool and doesn’t have fun

[@VundabarGAWKfan]

He probably doesn’t realize the damage that does to others.

[@ranxietyzx7527]

Its sad how I always said I relate to Greg, now I feel aad for saying it- now I feel like I dont even wanna continue to finish my diary of the wimpy kid collection...
