Talk:This Won't Hurt an Ed/@comment-5525892-20160225151253/@comment-5525892-20160301174817

@Kirkland22 I'm aware of the premise and structure of the series, but the problem is that Edd is completely OOC here. Every time before this episode, he always had some level of personal motivation for turning against his friends, no matter how shallow--even the episode with the violin, despite the fact that he was a total hypocrite in that one. Here, there's nothing. He has absolutely no reason, which goes completely against his character in every way. It's pure flanderization. If the nurse found out on her own about what Eddy was doing and forced him through the ending scene of the episode on her own, it would have been a little less problematic, but instead, it has Edd stick up for the school bully for absolutely no reason and subjecting his friend to a great amount of pain for the same lack of reasoning.
