In Bright we see attempts at inter-species equality, e.g. giving proper chances to orcs by giving one a job in the LAPD. But why does no one seem to care about fairies? Why they are treated like pests?

From the film scene:

Neighbor: Yo, that Fairy been all up in my crib, eating up my dog food and shit. I'm about to call the city, man.

Daryl Ward: I am the city. All right? You save your dime. Fairy lives don't matter today.

Why it's so ok to treat fairies like this?



Best Answer

Comparing a fairy to a homeless guy is a bad analogy, but... fairies are clearly not beneficial in the social context of this movie. The opening dialogue focuses on a discussion between Daryl and Sherri Ward (Will Smith/Dawn Olivieri) about calling a pest exterminator to deal with the fairy (outside their home). Following the fairy "extermination", you don't see another fairy again until one does a camera flyby immediately before the credits roll.

Why don't fairy lives matter?
Because they do not have a positive influence on their community. In fact, since the movie indicates that fairies eat dog food and create other issues, they actually create problems.
