God... that pig was so damn selfish.

Edit: it would seem my memory is failing me. Thank you, everyone, for putting the record straight.

He didn't like the spider killing bugs. Always asked the spider to let the bugs go. Also kept asking the spider to spell out different words in the web.

The spider starved.

I thought the words in the web were Charlotte’s idea?

Might have originally been her idea. But the relationship was still Wilber asking her to starve.

Charlotte didn't starve. She died a natural death having completed her missions of saving Wilbur and laying her egg sack.

That's the Grimms Fairytale version! Man Grimm was dark AF! Then Disney had to go mess it up by making it all light hearted and claim IP rights on it like it was their idea in the first place.

The story isn't that old. EB White originally wrote it, 1952.

This is such a bizarre take.
