Thought that was rlly cool. I’m not judging the before though, I didn’t mind when it was deeper as IK trey and Matt are getting older. But I’m hearing great reviews abt the special. And ofc and season 26, and the South Park comeback due to tiktok at just the right time! It seems to me sp is at its best rn. And I’m excited to watch the special right after the fnaf movie sometime today.
I find that some people are wrong when they say the seasons through the 90s-2000s are the only best seasons. I think season 1-21 are great with the exception of 20 which I thought was okay but we all know what they were planning with it . Dead kids season 21 (or 22) is one of my favorite episodes and I liked put it down to. I was never the biggest fan of tegridy, just because Randy isn’t my favorite character. I usually connect more with the kids. But I don’t think Trey and Matt were wrong for switching as they realized a lot of their audience were older and that trey finds himself probably relating more to older characters. But with the surplus of newer younger fans (me included) I think that switching the vibes were a good choice. And so far it has been. season 26 was incredible and season 25 was good. And I liked post covid specials a lot. This is kind of a disorganized rant but I’ve really been enjoying South Park in this last year. Feel free to give your thoughts.
So an interesting thing I’ve noticed over the years as I’ve gone back and watched the whole series thru a couple times - The show starts out as the kids representing GenX/early Millennials during their childhood, the parents being the boomer generation, and grandpa thrown in for the Greatest/Silent generations. As the show has moved forward, the show has blended the GenX/Millennial life into the Boomer parents as sort of a satire of how so many GenX/Millennials complain about Boomers, yet make the same mistakes and do the same stupid shit that the Boomers did when we were kids. While doing the same with the kids, by mixing in GenZ w/ the GenX/Millennial satire to comment on how GenZ is pretty much the new “Millennial” and how us GenXers and Millennials complain about the same dumb shit that Boomers complained about us for. It’s an interesting meta-commentary on aging over the decades.
