what i'm taking from this is that Polish morality tales basically go "you do anything, you die, probably ironically"

Yeah, but seriously. We all know who the father is. It's Wilbur, right? That was always the point of the story, right? Right?

Barn Spiders
That tracks, Charlotte loved Wilbur like a mother and mothers sometimes violently fuck. Preferably without the children knowing
That wasn't in the book. Only in the extended director's cut of the movie.
Time for a live action Disney remake of Charlotte's origin story and inner darkness, starring Florence Pugh.
Release the Scholastic Cut!
Directed by Lars Von Trier
Tora, Tora.
