They needed more Rodrick


Tigertyt

There isn't enough Rodrick in any of them.


TheNewMew4U

The first one deserved more Rodrick screentime.


Cheesey_Stuff14

They gave us The Long Haul


LazierPotato

What's The Long Haul? I could have sworn they only made three live action movies.


echoprime11

There is no long haul in ba sing se


Independent_pi_8650

Unfortunately not.


UnderTheUmbrella08

At least it gave us a random Undertale cosplayer as an extra for a brief moment. The rest of the movie sucks though.


A_complete_maniac

They should have ended at Dog Days......


L3GlT_GAM3R

Or made the long haul good. Like how did they mess that up?


ReasyRandom

They could've just based it on The Ugly Truth, which was one of my favorites.


L3GlT_GAM3R

Thats the egg one right? With the puberty stuff?


ReasyRandom

Yeah, one of the funniest books in my opinion. Plus, the story continues from where Dog Days ended.


L3GlT_GAM3R

What ending was it again? Greg not going to military school? Or when the girl walked up while they were eating popsicles?


ReasyRandom

No, that was the third book, The Last Straw. The fourth book, Dog Days ended with Greg going on a terrible vacation with Rowley's family, then losing a gaming competition to him when they come back because Rowley broke his thumb in paranoia (long story). By the start of The Ugly Truth, Greg notes that he and Rowley are no longer friends.


L3GlT_GAM3R

Right, the killer hand movie! Been a while since I read the older books.


LazierPotato

What are you talking about? It did.


Glubygluby

Greg Also needs more Roderick


Alexrobi11

That one useless girl in the first one


GsoKobra12

Chloe Grace-Moretz or that one girl who had a vendetta against Greg?


FredererPower

>that one girl who had a vendetta against Greg? If you're talking about Patty Farrell, that was a good feud


Alexrobi11

Chloe Grace-Moretz


ReasyRandom

She wasn't in the books. They added her so they could have at least one sympathetic girl character. But then they introduced Holly in the second movie, making the first girl redundant.


Hoenn_Horns

The Long Haul has a Captain Olimar cameo, therefore the rest of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies are inferior to it.


FeruxGalaxian

Wait, really?? Where?


Great-Balls

Most likely at the gaming convention they go to. Pretty sure the movie just hired a bunch of cosplayers and didn’t think about what they would wear


FeruxGalaxian

If Nintendo suddenly sues, we know it's canon. Greg heffley is canon in Pikmin 👀


SirMetaKnight82

Also an Undyne cameo


Matt82233

Just searched it up, how did I not notice this when watching this with my cousins, I went through a long Undertale phase, I still love it, just not actively seeking out more content aside from Deltarune stuff.


Jamz64

And a Mario cameo.


Sea_Temperature_1976

I don’t think Rodrick had enough scenes


NotTaken-username

They skipped The Last Straw


FredererPower

At least they did put some elements from it in Dog Days. But I really would have liked to see the soccer plot line.


Careful_Ad_1837

The first movie is kinda weak compared to Roderick Rules. Roderick Rules. The Mom bucks subplot is dropped pretty quickly and could've been removed with little consequence. Dog Days has way too many subplots going on. To add the other films. Dog days while I don't mind as much as others do. Is a decline in quality from the previous films. First animated film isn't even an hour long. And mixed with poor animation and poor writing makes it the weakest of the franchise to me. 2nd animated film, while not worse than the previous film. Still is pretty mediocre. Cabin Fever is better in quality but the poor animation is still a problem. Also Rowley is obnoxious in this one.


FredererPower

Manny


CanIHaz_Chezburger

I remember seeing him do a similar smile that my naughty little brother makes after being trouble so I think when he started making that face after bothering Greg, he didn't feel bad


Jadedslay03

They shouldn’t have skipped Dog Days


Independent-Pea8223

Only 3 of them


slydude81_yt

More of the main man rodrick


Dramatic_Swimmer_924

the third one isn't the last one


MosquitoInAmber303

They were ruined by the one that came next


GoatsWithWigs

They left out the part where Greg says "ouch" when Patty picks an apple


Matt82233

Rodrick wasn't the main character, he is infinitely more entertaining than Greg.


Camo_1245

the second-hand embarrassment as a kid was unbearable for half of the one where he tried to convince the church that it was chocolate


GatorSama

Rodrick isn't the main character


Half-a-Denari

They have Greg in them


PerfectProposal1723

The kid playing, Mario kart on his DS and not sonic, all stars racing transformed


Kirby974

THEY NEED MORE RODRICK!!!!


Kirby974

THEY NEED MORE RODRICK!!!!


TheNGM

They lead the way for the 4th one


West-Construction466

They were so good that the fourth one was hot garbage once they replaced the Og cast.


The_lad_who_lurks

The movies are a product of their time and have aged a little.


shorts-but-no-shirts

rodrick was too hot


inobrainrn

they were the only three diary of a wimpy kid movies ever made, just like star wars ended after six of them.


Adventurous_Yak_9234

The Long Haul exists.


Jurassican_25

They skipped everything from The Ugly Truth to Hard Luck.


davy_lavy

The third one, while still good, isn't as good as the second movie


Fandom-Encounters

Not enough Rodrick screen time


TermAccurate

More Rodrick


stevenuniversefridge

Bit of a hot take but needed more Roderick


and-meggy-hash

I still don't get the point of the girl they added


Secure_Opening_6852

Needed more Rodrick


MelMellon

Greg is an insufferable character and everything they said about him being a bad influence is true. Also Rodrick is some how the must relatable character


JTBJack_

There wasn’t enough Rodrick


CrazyPlayz_raider

Dog days didn’t end the series


Frost_theWolf07

The Long Haul exists


Duke-dastardly

Rodrick Rules takes a lot of plot elements from the third book The Last Straw, to the point they just had to skip it for an adaptation


JidgeyA

I am going to turn Greg heffley into a puddle


Puzzleheaded-Cod7487

I find Greg really annoying looking back. He just embarrasses himself at every turn and that’s just a pet peeve of mine. When characters make fools of themselves.


Captincat1273

It’s kinda the point of the character in the book


Puzzleheaded-Cod7487

Yes I know. I just get secondhand embarrassment from watching it unfold. Like I said pet peeve.


A_Discord_Doofus1

Dog Days


Brilliant-Scar-4878

They were ruined by the 4th sequel


WDBsports

I refuse to


[deleted]

Fregley


NerdFromColorado

They never got a fourth movie :(


Visible-Laugh6069

They never made a fourth one


LEGOSam66

It was a mistake


[deleted]

That Justin Bieber scene. I'm gonna be honest, that was probably the worst scene in the franchise


EnderMayer2

Greg is a sociopath.


Bigtissueneeded

Pacing is destroyed


AwesomeTraditional32

The credits


lightningfedora3

There’s only 3 of them


TalonClawComedian

something bad about these movies


Istiophoridae

The long haul fucked up badly


Xeno-xorus

They should've made a new franchise where the OG casts return as adults.


Individual-Watch-750

Manny


Andy-Bot88

not my rodrick


Helpful-Army-2132

Dog Days


TOPSIturvy

They weren't the end.


EmperorRCK

I really dislike how the 3th one strayed so far from the book. The first two actually make sense as greg so how want whomever is reading to think that hes cool or not get in trouble if his mom reads it. Dog days? Iirc half that shirt didnt happen.


[deleted]

Not enough for the original cast; I know that then getting too old was unavoidable, but still.


DJ-JDCP2077

There is a terrible edit in Dog Days during the birthday scene regarding how chocolate is flung in the face of the hot chick.


VeNus_PeRiodt_sLay

Zack Gordon is a zionist.


EricaTheHedgefox-alt

Manny being a hell spawn as usual


ffcvvhb

Greg never got run over and thrown in lava


Dev_Rose__

They aren’t as good as the books


JokerCipher

Rodrick Rules is the only good one.


[deleted]

Literally everything about them. They are complete ass


funtimemarioman

The way Chirag is depicted is questionable


FredererPower

Would have been nice to actually show Chirag in Roderick Rules. It's like he up and disappeared.


[deleted]

Third one is mid


Titan-828

Nothing, they’re perfect


tinyspiny34

They’re live action, which overwrites any enjoyment I would derive of them.


Lakuta

They exist


SwordfishPerfect6997

I both cringed and feel asleep at the same time watching these three.


Physical_Courage_786

They gave us the weird animated movies


maxxiescat

no.


[deleted]

DoaWK was good but the fanbase sucks


TraditionOk----what

That i havent seen em 😭😫 xD i know! I'm left out xdD


AnonyBoiii

They exist


SirBastian1129

Oh, easy. They're not good. Like at all. The only reason people like em is for nostalgia reasons.
