This trend of shows and movies being focus-grouped so that their characters are "relatable to the audience" has gone a wee bit too far

CodfishCartographer posted:Also Moral Orel did the same shtick as it but better years ago. Seriously. BoJack always felt like everything was so unearned compared to Moral Orel, whose characters actually grew for better and worse in a realistic way even over the course of one season.

How long until someone makes a copypasta about how Bojack Horseman can only be understood by a truly depressed person and then everyone will hate the series

They should give me their money, so they can be happy and poor and I can be "depressed"* and rich for them. *Actually having the time of my goddamn life traveling and doing poo poo without having the burden of money over my head and having to kill myself to profit some CEO

I think Bojack's depression maybe just comes from 3 places: -A family history of depression/abusive behavior -Failing to maintain, recreate or surpass the success of his Horsin' Around days. -He turned his back on people he cared about in order to be or keep being famous. Success didn't erase the first, attempting the second didn't give it back to him, and doing the third makes him think he doesn't deserve it anyway.

Skinner as a fussy, authoritarian, nerdy Norman Bates having flashbacks to trivial dramas in war was good. He was competent and not to be hosed with. After introducing his mother he slowly became nothing but a weenie.

Yeah war hero Skinner was great. One of my favourite flashbacks was when his platoon all had a good laugh over the "up with mini skirts" shirt, even though he didn't quite understand it. Is he even still a Vietnam vet? I'm shocked they've kept going with Grandpa being a WWII vet given that there aren't many real ones left and it means he had to have had modern Simpsons Homer when he was like 60.

I started thinking about that episode where Burns buys them a giant Xipe Totec(?) head and had a good chortle, even though it was absurd. Absurd and daft can be cool and funny.

SeANMcBAY posted:Bojack Horseman is okay but I personally found the whole depressed rich people thing to get obnoxious pretty quick. The characters are all extremely unlikable. It’s not just rich. Hollywood fame transcends money. This is a show about a typical washout celebrity not about money. Celebrities are a different breed from mere wealthy people. Agreed though the next season needs to be the last.

Now compare that bit which is absolutely brilliant to this one: https://youtu.be/6LZlD76DD3M The first clip tells but only hints and hence it's so amusing. The joke from season 12 ruins that and gets stupid with the humor.

This is a show about a typical washout celebrity not about money. your depression doesn't just go away because you're rich, and bojack has done tons of awful things repeatedly and that was a big arc of the last 2 seasons: just because you feel bad doesn't mean you get absolved of what you did, you need to STOP doing bad things, and bojack can't. there is tons of things you can relate to, death, anxiety, depression, feeling alone, casual sex , alcohol abuse, masculinity and how men rely on women to be their 2nd mommies, etc. . . the funeral episode was so good, and it just kept getting bleaker and bleaker.
