Rubie's Costume Men's Edward Scissorhands Deluxe Glove Set

Product Information

In "Edward Scissorhands," Peg's status as an Avon rep makes it seem like selling is the way they make money rather than recruiting vulnerable people. He manages to stop the onslaught of water by placing a stuffed animal over the hole and continues to use the bed with no issues. The mansion is a prime creepy hookup and hangout spot, and someone at some point would take a dare to explore.

Additionally, the townswomen collectively have the goal to make Edward normal while simultaneously getting a thrill out of his otherness. If you go to the scary depths of the internet, you'll find plenty of comments about how attractive she is for her age — but anyone who romanticizes Joyce's behavior needs to rewatch the movie. In a small town like this, neighborhood teens and kids have a lot of free time and an excess of pent-up energy. Plenty of moments in "Edward Scissorhands" elicit a cringe face, but Joyce's predatory behavior toward the men in the film is downright disturbing. Back in the '90s, there was much less awareness about the exploitative nature of these "direct sales" or "network marketing" companies.It's no secret that "Edward Scissorhands" is filled with more than a few plot holes that fans can't plug up with an errant stuffed elephant. Still, it's not believable that rumors of "the strange scissors boy who lives in the haunted mansion" wouldn't make their way to the townspeople. Edward doesn't fully understand what's happening, making Joyce's predatory advances attempts tantamount to sexual assault. Most people would probably say that hours of a fully lived life are better than an endless supply of solitary confinement like Edward faces alone in his mansion.

It seems that the inventor was slowly replacing his mechanical bits with vessels, veins, and other parts of the human body, but for all we know, they could be wires and cords. Despite all of the horrid behavior of the townspeople, Edward is the one who ends up locked up for eternity — forced to face the same loneliness that caused his inventor to create a child out of gears, switches, and a sugar cookie heart.If you talk to any MLM rep who isn't in piles of debt, they'll probably tell you that they have a hefty downline — which usually means they swindled desperate people to join their "business venture. One of the most confusing aspects of the movie is that an inventor lived up in a creepy mansion creating wild machinery and humanoids, and no one knew his backstory (or Edward's). In fact, this was a fairly common trope for the time and undoubtedly led to a significant amount victim-blaming and "what were they wearing" comments.
