Unpopular South Park Opinions

Unpopular South Park Opinions

Recently binged South Park again after dropping off some time during the airing of season 19. 

I got back into South Park after years of kind of ignoring it after one of the airing of Naughty Ninjas because 14 year old me thought it was so unfunny and too political. However, I played fractured but whole this summer and I really wanted to rewatch the show again. 

Here are my thoughts and possible unpopular opinions:

Butter’s dad is honestly a character I want to see more of. His introduction episode had some good potential but it seems that the writers forgot about it. I think Butter’s dad being closeted has some really good material if they just focused on him more. When I decided to binge South Park again, the one episode I always remembered was Butter’s very own episode. It’s such a classic. 

Some of the most underrated episodes are Follow that egg, South Park is Gay and Cartman Sucks. Basically all the gay-themed episodes they do are fantastic. 

If you asked pre-season 19 me what I thought about South Park ships, I would have no idea what you were talking again. Shipping culture was always something I associated with anime and nothing else. When they send out that call for Tweek x Craig Yaoi on Facebook years ago, I was dumbfounded but also laughed so hard my sides hurt. I unironically loved the concept of the upcoming episode. I was thinking that South Park was gonna comment on anime and BL, but didn’t realize that Tweek x Craig was a real ship. Not just something they named randomly as a homage to Tweek vs Craig. I remember watching the episode when it first aired on TV but I couldn’t remember any of it afterwards. If anything, I completed forgot that Tweek and Craig were dating because when I played TFBW, I was once again dumbfounded by Craig’s dad side quest and of course, all of the mostly NSFW fanart.

On the topic of ships, as much as I find Kyle x Cartman really dumb, I welcome the idea that Cartman isn’t straight. Like at first, I brushed that theory off but thought about it more and of course, played TFBW (HAVE YOU SEEN HIS LITTLE DOODLES IN HIS JOURNAL??!! MY DUDE IS NOT STRAIGHT) I’ve come to accept the idea of it. I feel like the writers secretly agree but won’t commit because having Cartman be ambiguously gay/bi provides more writing material. One episode he can totally be straight and the next he isn’t.

Advent children was a good movie but I still don’t think Cloud got truly over Aerith.

I feel like he got over her similar to getting over a breakup. I think he got better at coping with it. Similar to how getting triggered by small things that remind you of your ex, you just take the triggers as face-value as a coping mechanism.

For example, flowers and scenic landscapes remind him of Aerith, but they’re also just pretty and worth taking photos of.

In the credits, he printed out many photos of different landscapes. Someone said maybe it’s because he sees Aerith in those photos or he just took up photography as a new hobby as we all do :/

Regardless, I’m glad he’s happy but I got a feeling he’s still looking forward to going to promised land/heaven so he can be with Aerith.

sorry about that horrid title. This is just a small comic idea I had for the continuation of fractured but whole, with the new kid being on the side of evil.

Super long rant about Link click

I think one of the flaws of the show is how there weren’t enough episodes for the first season to show the audience that the trio are actually good friends and not just co workers who live together and only talk about work.

I’m 50/50 on filler or fluff but some shows do need it to build character development and interactions. The premise of Link Click or Shiguang Dailiren. Not necessarily just because of the travel aspect, but how the three main characters interact with one another. This is not anime where opposite attract magically works where two characters can be very different and the antithesis of each other and still get along, but a more realistic show of how two very different polar opposite’s who happen to somehow be friends, work together doing very serious work and how eventually it leads to a bad end for one of them - because of how their different work styles and values clash at the end.

After rewatching Victorious as an adult, I come to realize that the main cast totally hated each other and it was surprising that they bothered hanging out with each other, if most of the time none of the (female) cast had anything positive to say about each other.

Anyways. As an adult with similar circumstances to the main trio in terms of being recent uni grads, owning debt and having your best friends be your co workers (but not also my housemates), I see their situation as a lesson that I had to learn that - sometimes it’s not idea to owe your close friend a lot of money. Also like you can be good friends with someone who is the polar opposite of you (somehow) but that doesn’t mean you two would be great co workers by any means. I learned this when me and my friends thought it was a good idea to start a club in school and run guest speaker events and all. Turns out it’s really stressful and I don’t enjoy having disagreements with my friends on how to manage money. Becoming co workers with your friends can honestly hurt the friendship because sometimes when you see your friends, you might only talk to them about work if work is really taxing or stressful.

For example, CXS and LG are good friends who are polar opposites in every way possible. They have different values, life experiences and just generally work differently. More often than not, they disagree on many things. Link click shows that these two do not work well together. LG micromanages CXS and the latter still finds ways to mess up. I get the impression that LG has nothing positive to say about CXS because I rewatched this show countless times and noticed how LG has almost nothing positive to say about his friend. The promotional material shows them being close friends and what not, I just don’t buy it. CXS clearly annoys LG. CXS will talk about something non-work related to LG and LG will immediately change the subject back to work. Clearly he just isn’t interested. Also like the whole thing of keeping details hidden from CXS because LG doesn’t trust him is a red flag. He’s told him so many things to stick with the script and CXS doesn’t which messes things up. All this actions should not be happening. This is how you piss people off enough that they don’t want to talk/work with you. This kinda happens at the end when they take a pause and things get awkward between them.

If anything, Link Click is a great example of how polar opposites aren’t always so cool. Because in real life, if you weren’t obligated to work with them and share the same room together, you prob wouldn’t even be friends with them or even talk to them outside of work.

Another thing is that Cheng Xiaoshi owes Qiao Ling (family) a lot of money. That’s just not a good idea and those who disagree, you will eventually come to agree with me. It’s not like oh but they are really good friends and they must trust enough - no it’s just not a good idea anyone above 20 knows. It’s a rookie mistake that everyone eventually makes. Don’t involve your friends with money. Also Qiao Ling is their landlady soooo -

Guys - I’m Chinese, recently graduated and I worked with friends in work place settings (outside of retail) where you had to do very serious adult things. I see Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang clash when they work together and sometimes when you have an argument with your friend about something that happened at work, you want to have that type of separation when you are out of work. They both don’t have that divide since they both work and sleep in the same room. For those who know what’s it’s like to experience you and your best friend being great friends but not so great when you two room together, work together etc you know where I’m getting at.

The friend group was eventually going to fall apart. All of Qiao Ling’s lines are about money or work. Lu Guang had almost nothing positive to say to/about Cheng Xiaoshi during the entire show. Again I know there is the promotional materials but honestly, to the average viewer who doesn’t see that - this might be the impression that they might get. There are cultural differences but there is also just real life.

Anyway this is a lot. This show was dubbed in over 10 different languages but only like 10 people outside of China has seen it. Thanks for reading my autistic rant on a show no one has seen.
