Disney and Vince Gilligan Join Forces for ‘Jack and The Beanstalk’
Hey there! So, it turns out Disney and Vince Gilligan are teaming up for a new take on ‘Jack and The Beanstalk.’ At first glance, it might seem like an odd pairing, but if you dig a little deeper, it actually makes a lot of sense. When you look back at the original fairy tale, Jack kind of resembles an anti-hero, much like Gilligan’s iconic Walter White.
1. They Both Make Bad Choices
Just like Walter White, Jack has some serious money issues. Walter learns he has terminal cancer and opts out of a well-paying job with health benefits offered by his old buddy, thinking it’s better to cook meth than accept “charity.” Meanwhile, Jack doesn’t have that same pride; he swaps his perfectly good cow for a handful of magic beans. Not the best trade, right?
2. Turning to Crime
Walter’s crime is pretty obvious—cooking meth. Jack’s is a bit sneakier. While we often see him as the underdog defeating an ogre, he’s actually the one stirring up trouble. He climbs the beanstalk, scores a free breakfast from the giant’s wife, and then makes off with some gold. Real classy, Jack.
3. Small Crimes Leading to Bigger Ones
Walter starts as a mild-mannered teacher but quickly escalates to drug-making and murder. Jack takes a bit longer to ramp up, but once he’s out of gold, he goes back up the beanstalk to swipe a hen that lays golden eggs and even a giant’s harp. Talk about a klepto!
4. Getting Rich from Their Misdeeds
Walter’s journey takes him from a struggling teacher to a millionaire drug lord. Jack, on the other hand, not only gets rich from his thefts but also manages to snag himself a princess along the way. However, as we know, Walter’s story doesn’t end on a high note like Jack’s.
It’s easy to think of Jack’s adventures as cute and innocent, especially with those classic versions like the one featuring Mickey Mouse. But with Gilligan at the helm, we might just see a darker, more complex side to this timeless tale.
