Tom and Jerry, why is Tom always the unlucky one?

I think cartoon Tom and Jerry? Brought us a lot of happiness.

I have known since childhood that this stupid cat named Tom and this clever mouse named Jerry are always chasing and being chased. Tom can't catch Jerry. When I was a child, I thought Tom was a cat with big claws and sharp teeth. Jerry has nothing but running fast, so I hope Tom won't catch up with Jerry. That is to say, because of the difference in size, Tom always becomes an injured person. In fact, as we get older.

If Tom eats Jerry, will he continue this animation? According to Tom's omnipotent strength (actually catching mice is also very powerful), it is not too difficult to catch Jerry. At the beginning of many short stories, it is said that Tom naturally wants to eat Jerry when he catches mice, but Tom always wants all kinds of foreplay, that is, "braving the wind and waves" and always kills himself.

Another point is Tom and Jerry's animation works. As a daily funny animation, it focuses on the jokes produced by the direct interaction of characters. Cats and mice are opposites, and it is natural for cats to catch mice. But when a cat is teased by a mouse, it has a sense of contrast and can make the audience happy.

I remember in many stories, Tom didn't hate Jerry very much. The two little guys became friends and allies. In fact, in everyone's eyes, they are just natural enemies. Although there are such settings in the animation, they are different in nature. There's no need to be too serious. Why do you want to impose your ideas on the characters? If Tom just wants to play with mice, there will be many stories to read.

Why does Tom always make the same mistake? Why does he always get hurt? This is like why crayon Shinchan is immortal at the age of five, because he is not six, and why the big bear doesn't grow up, because Doraemon can't hold the big bear's hand when he grows up. And when Tom is no longer injured, it means that there is no Jerry at this end. Why does Tom always get hurt? That's because he wants to make us happy.
