Rubie's Costume Men's Edward Scissorhands Deluxe Glove Set

Product Information

Her fixation on youth and beauty doesn't erase Edward's life sentence of a hollow, lonely existence, but seeing her might — if only for a minute. Then we have Edward, who has the mentality and socialization of a child, making Joyce's aggressive pursuit of him extra sinister.

Not only does it belong to a teenage girl, but the basement seems like a much less disastrous choice from the jump. The townspeople use and abuse Edward when he's something shiny and new, but they immediately rescind that acceptance when it's no longer convenient for them. Edward doesn't fully understand what's happening, making Joyce's predatory advances attempts tantamount to sexual assault. Of course, the project introduced Depp to Tim Burton, initiating their long intertwined careers that boast titles like "Sweeney Todd" and "Corpse Bride. Back in the '90s, there was much less awareness about the exploitative nature of these "direct sales" or "network marketing" companies.

Bill asks this very question, but the answer is simple: Why pay someone for a service when you can manipulate them into doing it for free? Now, with modern technology, we have anti-MLM Youtubers like Savannah Marie, who frequently do deep dives into specific companies to expose their shady practices. Indeed, she's more concerned with covering his face than finding a way for him to stop accidentally cutting it. They could have given him hand prosthetics or even just taken his scissor gloves off so he could stop putting himself and others at risk.

However, it's abundantly unclear just how much of him is unfinished or what aspects of human anatomy are present in his makeup. Similarly, Johnny Depp had a minor role in "A Nightmare on Elm Street" before winning the title character role, Edward — yes, the one with scissors for hands.

The exploitation of Edward is real — from failing to pay him for services to not helping him start the business they've all benefited from, all while treating him like a show pony.
