This had been said, but I always thought that the point of the original Once-ler was that he's ALL of us. He's not bad, he's just short-sighted.

There's a line he has in the 1970s cartoon were he's arguing with himself, trying to justify what he's doing: "Well, if I didn't do this, than someone else would!" That's very powerful to me, because how many of us have thought that? Especially when it comes to wasting resources. It's not about being evil, just living our lives, doing things like leaving on the lights because everyone else is wasting electricity, too. And if other businesses are also using up resources...of course many business owners also "go with the flow" like the rest of us.

So, after reading the original book as a kid, I never thought of him as "bad." His facelessness just made me realize that we are all the Once-ler. That's what gets lost, in my opinion, by giving him a face. Although ironically, I prefer a generic everyman to some kind of monster for that very reason.
