Talk:Sorry, Wrong Ed/@comment-5832243-20131122044422/@comment-25118629-20140722000516

This episode made no sense in that Double D has shown in the past to be pretty superstitious. He believes in phantoms, bellybutton-eating monsters, the universe and fate consciously conspiring against them for no particular reason. Why on earth does he rail against the idea that curses might exist? Considering that Edd has already witnessed Ed blatently break the laws of physics on more than one occassion, how is magic (something else that defies physics) so hard to believe in? Edd isn't being a skeptic but more of a flat earth atheist in this episode. There are only two things I can think of that would explain this competely out of character behavior on Edd's part where he seems more obsessed with being proven right and doesn't seem to care one lick that Eddy's getting regularly abused:

1. Edd truely does believe there's a curse on Eddy, but feels that Eddy deserves it, so he feigns being a skeptic so Eddy won't ditch the phone right away. By convincing Eddy that the bad things are just coincidences, Eddy is reluctant to give away such an awesome phone in the beginning and so becomes subject to more pain. Ed does ask at one point if Edd's 'dark side' is showing (maybe it already came out). Maybe Edd really does believe in laser-guided karma and is seeing the curse as the universe's way of 'punishing' Eddy for some percieved crime, real or imagined. If that's the case, Edd's a lot more disturbed than previously indicated.

2. Edd's cold, unfeeling indifference to Eddy's pain is part of the curse! The curse makes sure that not only are you physically hurt everytime you answer it, but it also isolates you from your support networt in order to mentally break you. The curse makes sure that anyone who would normally care about you and try to help you in your time of need (friends, family, etc) will be possessed by the manevolent phone spirit into not giving a damn about you until the curse is lifted.
