Who is your honest opinion, is just as bad as Bojack?
The shows goes to great lengths to make Bojack the least defensible major character. I could cite Hank Hippopopalous or Vance Waggoner, but that feels cheap.
That said, he’s a short (incomplete) list of the inexcusable things other characters have done, with emphasis on instances where Bojack is the victim!
PC:
- Assaulted Bojack in Elefante
Diane:
- Wrote a traumatic event into Philbert to make Bojack relive the trauma
Ana Spanakopita and Flip McVicker:
- SA’d Bojack
Beatrice Horseman:
- (among other things) attempted to kill Bojack
Eddie the Horsefly:
- attempted to kill Bojack
Angela Diaz:
- Encouraged Bojack to drink at the lowest point in his life
beatrice obv, but also mr peanutbutter
I think arguably, everyone makes a morally wrong decision or at least a morally questionable decision at some point in the show. I think it’s what makes all the characters so interesting, is that they’re all act REAL. None of them are perfect. None of them always make the right decision. None of them always say the right thing. Everyone does something that you disagree with at some point in the show (more likely than not)
ruthie is the only pure character
Anna Spanakopita is one of the worst people in the show. While most of the other characters act out of carelessness she is deliberate and malicious in the way she acts.
everyone did morally wrong things, nobody’s perfect or are “truly good”, if you don’t get this then you didn’t get the show’s message
like what PC did to the assistants when they went on strike, though she did backtrack later, it’s still pretty slimy. She also does many other unethical things in her job throughout the show
Todd lied to Hollyhock about the DNA test, built that (literal) garbage disneyland, the whole cabracadabra shenanigans and other shenanigans
Diane hid from Mr Peanutbutter and went on a bender at Bojack’s place
Mr Peanutbutter is Leo Dicaprio (omg, what is this? a crossover episode??) as far as dating younger women, lied about stealing the D (that literal son of a bitch)
Vincent Adultman was always busy with adult business, didn’t spend time and not being honest with PC
Hollyhock
and that guy, Greg that Mr PB met once at the gas station, idk what he did but he sucks too!
every major characters has done morally wrong/shitty things, it’s not about who did and who never did, it’s more about what they did and the scale of it in comparison to others (as far as discussions goes). Other characters that were never seen doing shitty things, didn’t have enough screentime/insight to be qualified for comparison, like Kelsey, Becca, Fuzzyface, Stefani, the Elephant in the room (woooow) etc. you get my point
sure many things characters did were cluelessly stupid or out of goodwill, but it doesn’t excuse the bad behaviors, what’s done is done
Princess Carolyn: spins the gun control issue so that her movie will do better the more mass shootings there are. Takes down the assistant strike (before having a change of heart).
Todd: Refuses to be the first to reach out to his mom even when she’s deathly ill.
Diane: lies about being in Cordovia. Goes on an all night adventure with Bojack without telling Mr. PB where she is even though they were working on their marriage.
Mr. PB: cares more about his TV show than backing up his wife when she’s fighting Hippopopolous over a moral injustice. Cheats on his gf then proposes to her.
They’ve all done bad things. I think the idea is we can see how they are all real, flawed characters. There’s not such thing as good guys and bad guys, they’re all just guys :)
I really don’t think Todd was wrong for that one. You reap what you sow
Todd also gave a bunch of people rabies
Pretty much every adult in the show makes at least one morally wrong decision.
HEY! Vincent Adultman was a honest, mature, ADULT man. Who never did a single thing that could be considered as “morally wrong”. 😤
yes! he is just minding on his own business
In no order:
Diane: Inappropriately leaking nformation and cheating
Todd: Willful ignorance resulting in severe bodily injury.
Mr. Peanutbutter: Turning a blind eye to sexual harrasment, cheating, emotional manipulation.
Princess Caroline: Manipulation, being Bojacks fixer, tons of shady stuff we dont know about.
