Genuinely have been thinking about this for a long time, but do you ever think that in every short that we see Tom and Jerry in we’re actually focusing on a different cat and mouse duo alongside their branch of characters from different periods of time that merely resemble their past and present generational ancestors explaining how so many episodes jump back from the present day to as far back as the Stone Age or the medieval time. Whenever we see an episode where the cat of that dynamic dies, we’re watching the end of that rivalry and in the next installment, the progress of a new one to take up the mantle with presumably no prior knowledge of the other one’s existence damming the future generations to a endless cycle of violence that rarely any of them are able to break from outside of the iterations of the characters from The 1975 show and film from 1992 who evolved from these primal instincts and became a lot more friendly with one another as a result. keep in mind these are the characters were talking about.
