Why did the snake have the power to hypnotize people?

allegory to the biblical snake, telling dumb bitches to do things their creator implicitly told them not to do

Wrong.
Also, said creator is partially to blame for putting the damn tree in the garden in the first place

Satan convinced eve who then told Adam to eat the apple too. Is eve to blame for all this suffering?

>>94575043
...howd you fuck that up?
Satan convinces eve shits cool, humans are gods naive as shit creations, we literally dont gave knowledge. You started with
>>Satan comvinces eve
And somehow end on
>>Eves fault right?
That was legit full retard in one sentence

>>94575025
And making the guy who turned into the snake, and knowing that he would do so.

>>94575025
>partially
He knew exactly what He was doing with that experiment of His.

Like the time He made a bet with best bud Satan about ruining Job's life.

The Serpent was a satan, but it wasn't Satan.

There's a folk belief that serpents can hypnotize, based on some animals which freeze up when they see a snake.

And the hypnotic ability appeared in the actual Jungle Book by Kipling, though it didn't work on Mowgli.

so why did it in the movie?

>>94575457
because nobody cared about the book

>>94575457
For the same reason that Kaa became a villain in the movie instead of a mentor. They needed another villain.

>because nobody cared about the book

In the book (and in the 1942 live action movie) Kaa is friendly with Mowgli. In the book, he actually helps rescue Mowgli from the monkey kingdom.
