In most people's minds, Tom and Jerry are always chasing and fighting, and will not choose to join forces temporarily unless they face a common enemy. And "Tom and Jerry" is a very non-Newtonian world, everything that violates common sense and violates the laws of physics may occur, so when a cat and a mouse really fight, any prop around them can become a weapon in their hands.
Tom, who usually looks stupid, once the battle starts, will become a weapon master, and everything around him that can be touched can play a miraculous effect. Knives, brooms, fly shoots, etc., as long as they can have a certain degree of lethality, they can be used to fight. Since both Tom and Jerry have the ability to change shapes, although the weapon looks powerful, it cannot be fatal in one hit. Therefore, the two of them will frequently switch weapons, and this kind of fighting with sudden changes in painting style is the reason why we are addicted to watching.
So how strange can the weapons that Tom and Jerry use, and what role can those seemingly ordinary weapons that can be found around them play a role? And listen to me speak slowly for you.
Magical potion
This is definitely a big category of strange weapons in Tom and Jerry, and Tom and Jerry have taken a variety of potions to fight each other, with successes and failures. The efficacy of these potions is strange, and the most common is to make people have the function of stealth. In the episode "The Vanishing Duck", Jerry's good friend Little Yellow Duck discovers the alabaster that can make people invisible, so the two people paint the alabaster and hide, and then begin to deceive Tom. Pretending to cut off its tail and feed it too much aspirin, he had a lot of fun, but at the end, Tom also accidentally discovered the role of alabaster and launched a crazy counterattack.
The invisibility potion appears more than once, in "Cat's Slave", Jerry is madly bullied by Tom, and while Jerry is depressed, a black-bellied princess mouse descends on him, which uses magic to conjure up a pink potion for Jerry, which also has the effect of stealth. After drinking the potion, Jerry began to take revenge on Tom, not only frightening him, but also secretly cutting a chic hairstyle for Tom with scissors. However, Leji was sad and the potion failed, and Tom grabbed Jerry and cut off his hair. The two looked at each other and began to laugh, ushering in the rare Happy Ending.
In addition to the effect of invisibility, there are some other magical potions in the animation, such as in "The Danger of the Cat", Jerry himself configured a bottle of potion, and from the appearance alone, this green and sparkling potion that is still bubbling is not very reliable. However, Jerry received an unexpected effect after drinking it, and its speed increased to the point where Tom could not see clearly. However, the resourceful Tom recorded Jared's video with a video recorder and analyzed it but did not find a good response. But after a while, Jerry's medicine failed, and it quickly reconfigured a copy, but the effect changed, Jerry became bigger, and Tom cried completely.
There is also a potion that gives Jerry great combat effectiveness, and this potion is indeed configured by Tom. In "Powerful Lotion", After toon prevents Jerry from stealing milk, he decides to use a powerful poison to put it down, only to expect that the milk mixed with the potion gives Jerry the power to hang Tom. Just like the invisible medicine, this medicine also has an effective time, after the time has passed, Jerry came to the cat and drew a tiger, and the result was that Tom drank it first, and as a result, due to the formula problem, Tom became smaller and was beaten by Jerry again.
All kinds of fireworks
In the battle between Tom and Jerry, the frequency of various fireworks is absolutely first-class. Especially in "Yankee Dudd Rat", Tom and Jerry rely on ordinary firecrackers to fight a wonderful battle. For example, put a cannon on a paper airplane, turn it into a bomber, and use a huge "matryoshka doll" to lower Tom's vigilance. Eventually, Tom uses the leather to catch Jerry, and when he tied it to the big monkey, he accidentally tied his hand and followed the firecracker to the sky.
In "Firecracker Storm", the firecracker master became Tyfi, and this inattentive little guy always wanted to secretly order firecrackers, which made Jerry suffer a lot. However, in the process of fighting Against Tom, Tyfi's firecrackers have repeatedly achieved miraculous feats and successfully defeated Tom. The two men used the firecrackers in their hands and even used the cannon as a Gatling. Coincidentally, at the end of the episode, Tom is also brought to the sky by a large monkey and turned into a brilliant firework.
As a child, dramas related to firecrackers were particularly popular, for reasons other than him, as a boy, who did not want to put a cannon. Perhaps it is precisely because of the uniqueness of the "weapon" of fireworks, in the "Tom and Jerry" mobile game, fireworks are also used as the theme of gameplay, that is, the recently launched "fireworks battle" gameplay. In this game, players use firecrackers scattered in the corner to successfully rescue Jerry's good friend "Canary".
Because it is in a closed room, the space for the mice to move is very limited, but it is more convenient to rescue people, and this game is more testing of the cooperation between the mice. However, there is no need to worry about the cat being too aggressive, in this mode, the value of the cat has also been adjusted, and the two sides are still at a fair starting point. If you want to test the intimate cooperation, test the psychological game and the more exciting battle of wits, you may wish to try the "fireworks battle".
Sharp tools around you
The reason why Tom and Jerry are weapons masters is because they can turn everything around them into weapons. For example, in "Cat on board", Tom is stuck in the neck by a wooden board, but he uses this wooden board to turn himself into a gliding fighter, which really shocks Newton's coffin board. At the same time, in this episode, Tom attacks Jerry with a water gun, and accidentally gets entangled in the water pipe, using the recoil of the water to send himself into space, and even sees the astronaut, And Newton sits up again.
There are also some conventional weapons, in the hands of this cat and mouse, can also play a completely different effect. For example, in "The Duelist", Tom and Jerry decide to formally duel duel due to contradictions, so a farce begins. The two sides engaged in a number of duels such as pistols and swordplay, among which the duel of bows and arrows was impressive, and the two sides pulled out their bows and aimed at each other. At this moment of a thousand gunshots, something that surprised people appeared, the arrow did not go out, and the result was that the person went out and hit a face full of flowers.
In the "Rat Trap" episode, Tom also used various props to make a linkage machine, which was secretly changed by Jerry, resulting in Tom being smashed into a "square cat" by the safe.
Superscientific weapons
The type of weapon is more magical, and it often has some incredible effects. In Sweet Mouse Life, two unusual weapons appear, starting with a magical horn. As long as you press it at close range, you can make a loud horn sound, even so powerful that Tom can drop his fur.
The other is more sci-fi, that is, the brain hole weapon, which can also be understood as the embodiment of thinking, or in this episode, Jerry actually threw out the imaginary flying knife, which is magical.
Having said all that, in Tom and Jerry, do you have any weapons that impressed you?
