Not an evil inventor... just misunderstood
Many are quick to pounce on Wallace, whether for his oblivious nature or his apparent disregard for Gromit. But beneath the thin facade played out for comedic effect, we catch a glimpse of his creative genius, borne by the compassion he feels for his best friend. A robot invented to alleviate the woes of gardening. A hastily designed contraption to wrestle them back from the slippery fins of Feathers McGraw. Gromit's trust in Wallace is not misplaced, and we would do well to share it.
