Just finished the show for the 4th time and Diane’s and Bojacks conversation on the roof in the last episode always makes me think. Diane seems to actually not want to talk to him again because she doesn’t really respond to his question but I feel like they would be the kind of friends who talk like once a year about literally everything. It’s hard to imagine them not even catching up or smth. But maybe Diane actually wants him out of her life for the well-being of the both of them?What do you think?
It’s hard to imagine anyone having a “friend breakup” like that. You don’t need to break up with people you don’t live with and have intrinsic commitment to. It’s just Diane-y shit.
I mean, she didn’t break up with him? Bojack was the one who awkwardly raised the idea of them never speaking again, clearly looking for reassurance from Diane that of course they’d speak again - and she just didn’t give him that. She didn’t plan to end things with him, she just didn’t lie and tell him they were still friends, when he (subtextually) asked her if they were.
Yeah, I mean, in their time apart she realized that them being friends wasn’t good for her. She hadn’t talked to him since his voicemails, and the process of dealing with that made her not want to be friends with him. This scene was the point that shows that she isn’t friends with Bojack anymore, and it’s her choice. If you don’t want to call it “breaking up” with him that’s fine I guess. Clearly by popular vote it’s decided.
