In the film, the father of Marty's love interest really hates Marty, makes a remark about how he's a "damn cripple" who'd end up on welfare and says if it were up to him, he'd personally electrocute every disabled person. While this attitude is clearly not supposed to be sympathetic within the film itself (notably, he shares a name with an abusive jackass from the original novel that the narrator condemns as "first-class grade-A shit"), where Marty is a bright kid whose wheelchair doesn't limit him that much, this kind of casual and vicious ableism makes the character look even worse than originally intended.
