El Tigre being based of the fall of man and the forgiveness of Christ.
As we all know El Tigre is a show about a kid name Manny Rivera who comes from a family of both heroes and villains and he has difficulty struggling to decide weather to be a hero like his father or evil like his grandfather while at the same time having fun with his beast friend Frida Suarez. Seems like a pretty straight forward cartoon show played for laughs but what if it has a deeper more spiritual meaning? What if in a way the show itself represents man's struggle in life?
Manny is a young boy who is advised by his father to be good while tempted by his grandfather to be evil, at the same time he has Frida who usually tries to convince him to listen to his grandfather. In most cases Manny usually does the wrong thing which a lot of the time puts his family, friends, or random citizens in danger but he selflessly does everything to save them even if it costs him everything. In the end his father punishes him but still loves him and forgives him for his sacrifice.
Here we have Manny who represents man or Adam, born into the world with no knowledge of weather to be good or evil. Then we have Manny's father Rodolfo who represents God (Though he's not perfect or Godlike in anyway) he advises him not to follow down the path of evil and guide him toward the path of good. Next we have his grandfather who represents the devil (Though he's not as evil as the devil) he tries to tempt Manny to turn away from his father and to be evil. Finally we have Frida who represents woman or Eve, born into this world to be a female companion for Manny but she is normally the first to be tempted by evil and convinces her partner to follow the same example. Both sin or in their case do evil things for their own amusement and in the end both are punished by Rodolfo but due to his love and compassion for his son and seeing his sacrifice he forgives them and still tries to guide them. Like how God punishes both man and woman but forgives them after man makes the ultimate sacrifice.
What do you think? I don't think it really has a deeper meaning I just thought of this as I watched the show.
