To Be Fair, You Have To Have A Very High IQ To Understand Over The Garden Wall. The Humor Is Extremely

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Over the Garden Wall. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Wirt’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsch literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Over the Garden Wall truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Greg’s existencial catchphrase “And that’s a rock fact!” which itself is a cryptic reference to Dante’s Italian epic Divine Comedy I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Patrick McHale’s genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools… how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have an Over the Garden Wall tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Something i have recently realised about TOH. Of course most of y'all know it but i just wanna discuss it! This is quite like Ducktales (considering that Dana have worked on the show) Ducktales and The Owl House both have 3 seasons (sadly the 3rd one is shortened due to Disney being a homophobic prick 🙄) and these seasons were about the 3 main characters

Season 1:Eda

Season 2:King

And season 3:Luz

And in these seasons we were learning about their pasts,issues,trauma,etc.

That's all I've gotta say, my apologies for wasting your time with my poor analysing/discussing skills, i just wanted to share it-
