What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- His moral agency is far too screwed to be NPE. He was already born with severe mental illnesses, and he had been abused since birth by his family to be a cannibal and killer just like them. This also made him extremely tragic and bordering on scapegoat.
- He was genuinely fond of Stretch as he spared her life twice, hid her from his brothers and was against killing her until Drayton forced him to. Even when she was escaping, he didn't chase her and instead focused his attention on the sheriff.
- Despite them abusing him, he loved his family fiercely and protected them with his life which included all his brothers, his daughter, his parents and his grandfather.
- He spared Sally at first, walking away when she entered his house and tried to get him to remember her and only attacked her when she started shooting him.
- He is at times played for laughs.
Trivia[]
- In a deleted scene of Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2, he, Chop-Top and Drayton killed a group of yuppies. Had this been kept in it would have made him worse.
