His son feared him though.
"my son respects me"
YOU KNOW WHO ELSE YOUR SON RESPECTS?!
You can have various feelings towards a person, such as a parent, like fear and respect mixed together. Plus, in this context, Pete was clearly shown throughout the movie, and "Goof Troop" to have a strained and sometimes coldly domineering relationship with his son that created some emotional distance between the two of them, which is obviously something Goofy wanted to avoid with Max.
There's also a lot of show, don't tell, in this film, so don't take every line of dialogue a character says at face value, in the midst of a contextualized story.
There's also a good chance, anon, that Pete was wrong/mistaken about his relationship with PJ.
Fear is a kind of respect though as says the way Pete got that fear poisoned their relationship
Give him a break he was having a hard time on that trip. After what happened with his wife the idea that his boy respected him was the only thing he had left.
I fucked your wife Pete, she loved it, she said it was like nothing she'd ever seen
Ah'huck
why are you people obsessed with this scene, is pretty fucking clear that he is aware that his son is distant, but has the one thing goofy has failed to have with his son, which lives forever embarrassed of goofy.
It's usually bait to pretend to be a sociopathic autist.
Smug and narcissistic people often mistake fear for respect. They think people love them, but fear only makes people hate the person.
peter was trying to help goofy, he is not a narcissist, you can call him an asshole but not a narcissist.
for some reason he's hot
shame abusive guys irl are ugly as shit
gets in the hottub with gloves on
Fear is hard power, respect is soft power. Hard power inherently invalidates soft power by nature.
Narcisscist is so loaded thanks to therapy-speak but the point is he wasn't really trying to help Goofy. He was passive aggressively gloating or shitting on Goof the whole time. You can see in his voice and demeanor he's pretending to feel bad when pointing out that Max was tricking him. He never points things out to genuinely help Goofy just to feel superior.
The issue is that it's double edged. If you're feared people will also root on your downfall if you're respected people root for your success.
duh
goofy was the entire time shitting on pete "your methods didn't worked for me" "i don't believe you" "at least max loves me" what do you wanted pete to do, he got upset because despite trying to be nice he still got called out because he IS an asshole, and he knows it, but despite that he was trying to help him because he knows what being a father is like.
A narcissist wants to be perfect and would've deluded himself into being loved, but he cares about respect more than about love.
yeah. dont you get it, you're supposed to respond with Based or Hell Yeah to these and ignore the thread forever unless some retard thinks you're serious.
WOW! CONGRATULATIONS. YOU FIGURED OUT THAT SOMETHING THAT IS MEANT TO BE IRONIC IS IRONIC. YOU ARE A GENIUS. WAY TO FIGURE IT OUT
Right
but PJ will go now where near him when he has a family
Pete was just acting out due to the divorce. Pistol's sudden death really drove the family apart.
In order to fear something you must first respect it. You respect a Lion’s jaws, so you’d fear meeting it in the wild. A tiny amount of fear is good, but a lot of dads go too far.
I feared my father's reaction more than doing anything bad. So I'd obviously would keep to myself if I have problems at school, with girls, or even finding a job.
Parenting is hard, even if your heart is in the right place and you’re extremely capable.
Fear is a biblical term for respect
You got backwards anon
So even the retards who could write don't what words mean. It all makes sense now.
Max should have just invited Roxanne to come with them.
I don't respect my dad but I love him dearly.
Dont know how that works. Seems like you think you're better than him? Seems like an awful relationship.
Do you think PJ still respected his dad after Goofy fucked him right up the ass?
sounds like you are projecting
Petes "respect" only lasts until his son grows up enough to beat him into a crying puddle of a pathetic excuse for a man.
Every child eventually has their parent go from a authority figure to a peer as they get older. and if they're taught with love and actual respect instead of fear then they'll still listen to their father and love them when their dad's to old to enforce it physically.
I don't think pj would beat up his dad, he'll just never visit him unless pete is seriously hurt or sick
In the conservative mind fear and respect are the same.
The sad thing is that Pete wasn't being consciously aggressive there. He honestly thought he was helping Goofy by pointing out that Max was playing him.
The only kind of love a man like Pete knows is respect bordering on fear. So, acting like a jerk was his way of being open and honest with his friend--he doesn't know any other way.
Respect comes from the ability to pose a threat , you must be seen seen as consequencial in some way. You don't respect an ant because it has no power over you
Until a person develops higher order thinking and a desire to promote or preserve complex social structure (culture), you actually do need a level of fear to establish respect.
A 5 year old isn't going to grasp the rationale behind social law or understand the millenia of trial and error behind the things we call tradition today.
They will understand and respect a zap from an outlet or a bites from a fire ant mound.. or a punishment as a result of bad behavior.
Nah I think he definitely is, Bro wants to rain on Goofy's parade The second he hears Max is lying it's not a look of worry, it's a look of glee that he's got dirt.
