Exhibit A:
The story says he died shortly after he married Lady Tremaine (depicted above). This means he married someone who looked like this... (Just look at that picture. Are you serious?!) She has grayish-purple skin, odd skunk hair, and nuclear green eyes. No where does the story suggest Cinderella's father was a blind man. He married this woman. Idiot.Exhibit B:
Lucifer. When choosing a wife, most men would shy away from a woman who chooses to name her pet after the Devil. Judging by the animals broad face and general girth, we can assume he was around before the marriage. What kind of person marries a woman who named their cat after Satan? An idiot.Exhibit C:
The story says Lady Tremaine was a widow herself before she duped Cindy's idiot dad. No matter how charming she was; no matter how tasty her cookies were, I think there were enough strikes against her to merit the hire of a private investigator to inquire how her previous husband passed. The sinister eyes. A cat named after the Prince of Darkness. At least check into her past a bit, because I'd wager her previous husband passed similarly to how her next husband did - by her hand. I'll again mention that the story says "he soon died" after they were married.The film shows just how sadistic this woman really was. It is no stretch at all to believe she killed two husbands.
The second one should have known better. He was an idiot.
