South Park: Joining the Panderverse

South Park once prided itself on being the sensible middle ground. Now after years of trying to smugly fence sit, after blatant transphobia and increasingly desperate "both sides" rhetoric, it's clear that the once left of centre creators have swung to the pretty solidly right wing. If this was a show Matt and Trey had been watching a decade ago, they would have rightly mocked it. Now, these two creators who are clearly tired of even making South Park have become precisely the kind of people they once used to correctly mock. Young Trey and young Matt would likely hate what they've turned into and I suspect deep down they know it. An exhausting waste of time that superficially pretends it's a sensible middle ground before parroting the exact right wing weirdos it only briefly and superficially calls out. If you don't want to keep making this guys, you know you can just stop right? You don't have to destroy the show and turn your backs on everything you once used to pretend to care about. Contemptuous, South Park in name only.

Had three funny jokes about the handyman but that was about it. The rest was boring nonsense that isn't at all what this show used to be. It's frustrating coming back to this show hoping that they could make something good again, but leaving with an hour lost on unfunny overly-complicated storylines with no focus on actual comedy. Don't care much about what this show's become. The season in 2018 hit classic South Park feels and was enjoyable, but since season 20 the show's been awful. Season 19 was the last great season, give me my favourite show back instead of this over-the-top, uninteresting, unfunny, overly-complicated malarkey.

The absolutely correct phrase that emphasize the current problem with movies and shows. Matt and Trey had given us this gem of an episode that finally tackles these annoying issues that plague the Hollywood today. The plot is amazing and relevant to the current situation. People had forget how to work with their hands. All characters are being replaced. Stupid multiverse on every corner. Such an amazing dig at many of Hollywood giants. Thank you Matt and Trey for this masterpiece of great piece of humor. Never surrender and keep it up. These aren't the best of times and this show keep up the spirit. Amazing and highly advised for all.

Producers and writers of franchises managed by Disney, particularly Marvel and Star Wars have been sacrificing good writing and the creation of original content to following DEI checklists. At the same time, these franchises have lost viewers. South Park has been satirizing cultural issues like game addiction ("Make Love, Not Warcraft"), alarmism ("ManBearPig"). This time, they chose Disney's DEI actvism and lazy approach to storytelling by applying Disney's tropes to the world of South Park. In the side story, they make fun of academics who are unable to do jobs that "require having arms", i.e. Trades, while they are themselves being replaced by AI. The story works because it reflects the experience of the Disney audience and also does so in a very clever way. In particular, the producers brilliantly executed the swapping of the South Park characters. Here, particular praise goes to the voice actresses that nailed the swapped characters: Janeshia Adams-Ginyard, Montana Jacobowitz, Diana Lauren Jones and Bibi Mama. It pays to watch the episode to catch all the details (character-swapped detective Yate's moustache). All in all, I expect this special to become one of the classics of the series.

The boys at South Park have really outdone themselves! This movie has set a new bar for them. Despite being an older gentleman, from the time when we "landed on the moon" -thank you Stanley Kubrick- I digress. There have been MANY funny episodes in the series, but this specific one; Joining the Panderverse, eclipses most of them... The contempt that Trey and Matt show for Disney and its incessant pandering to the supposed underserved minority is poetically beautiful. Seeing the boys as sassy black women and basically EVERY other character being treated the same way, became a great running joke. The KFC colonel was just perfect. The side story of how nobody can do anything anymore and Handymen are now all billionaires was sublime! As a tradesman for over 35 years, It really tugged at my feels...Anyone that doesn't watch this movie is doing themselves an extreme disservice! Spoiler; multiverse.

Dont know how to express my appreciation for the whole crew that made this masterpiece. It's a treasure of the world, it's the sun shining the way for human to follow the correct path in this chaos world. The movie is unique in this universe and every generation need to watch this even thousand years later. The idea is brilliant and I didn't want to miss any second in the movie. This special episode is a testament to the show enduring appeal and ots ability to stay relevant by tackling contemporary issues with its trademark humour. The show is also a sharp critique of token diversity and corporate issue.
