answer:The original Tom and Jerry always depicts Jerry as a hero, but if you analyze the cartoons a bit, you can see that there is time when he is a total dick and doesn’t deserve winning at all. And sometimes the cartoons alter the logic just to let Jerry win, in a ridiculous way (there is one cartoon that show Jerry jumps on a mousetrap several time unharmed, and before that Tom put a feather on the mousetrap and it shuts. Wow! Just wow!) Tom is always depicted as a bad guy, but there are actually time when he is a victim.
