normalMore than 15 years ago, the classic is now South Park episode “Locked in the Closet” speaks to the Church of Scientology simply by stating the beliefs of the faith strongly. Slightly thick Dianetics, Xenu ‘s nice animation, and the words “THIS IS THE WORLD THAT’ SING ONLY” shine all over the screen in every cap.
The South ParQ vaccine specification giving a QAnon-like treatment. When Mr. Garrison returns to teaching after his (aka Trump) presidency ends, most of the city’s parents pull students out of school, for fear of showing up. their children to a man who caused so much destruction to the world. South Park Elementary educators are under increasing pressure because they have not been able to access the new COVID vaccine. That’s when disgraced Q supporters woke up inside, going back as a home education service called Tutoron to give South Park youths a false tenure with their false teaching.
In many ways, QAnon’s beliefs feel even more unusual of Scientology, especially when seen so horribly and graphically in a textbook that one of the instructors showed Craig. There’s no way anyone could believe an image of Oprah Winfrey bursting out as a vampire shedding blood from a goblet, or Barack Obama tearing another child’s throat with his teeth. Except that it will. a lot people believe in these things – so much so that Trey Parker and Matt Stone don’t even have to illuminate the series with the extra text of their Scientology summary.
That is the reality in which we live South Parkthe first program of the post-Trump era (or at least a time when Donald Trump is no longer president). The world feels a lot more alien than it did when “Trapped In The Closet” began back in 2005, and a more capable leader and vaccine is not going to magically carry everything into better times. best off the stick. That sad truth reveals the show’s portrayal of QAnon in the kind of humor that retired into the show through Trump’s years – a recognition that you can’t add to what he adds as -Yes. The beak can wear thin if it’s stretched out over an entire season (as it did with Garrison as Trump), but in one of the peculiarly self-contained things Parker and Stone is brought to fruition. shaping the way the planet reels from coronavirus, it works very well.
G / O Media may receive a commission
As in September Pandemic Special, the planned layout often allows South Park to consider the conventional sociopolitical moment more effectively than in a regular season. When the show ‘s creators don’t rush up to the last minute to put together a weekly program, the fun feels focused, artistic and evenly spun throughout the evening. One of the Specific vaccineThe best pieces are at the heart of the story, with the high demand and low level of vaccine doses transforming Walgreens into a unique environment similar to a mobile nightclub. While most South Park residents are left outside the door to fight a brutal weaver, the city’s former citizens step in before sending out. -into the terrorist behavior and busy social life that young people usually enjoy.
In an effort to support their teachers and win back Ms Nelson – thus eliminating Fort William as a substitute – Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny include the pharmacy to get the popular vaccines. This ignites a series of events that eventually lead to an explosive explosion between the boys, the Q-turn classmates (jokingly called Lil ‘Qties), QAnon adult fans, folks the town is still searching for the vaccine, and two acres of encouraging news. If that sounds like a lot to navigate, the one – hour runtime gives Parker and Stone enough space to keep track of all the threads and allow the story to unfold systematically. And again, there is something to be said for the design months that were able to get into the program.
Surprisingly, it is in the lesser C story that has nothing to do with pandemics, conspiracy theories, or politics where Specific vaccine stumbling for a while. During the hour, Cartman has always been concerned that the quarantine has broken the boys’ friendship. Stan and Kyle agree with him at the end of the program, admitting that, due to the pandemic, things are not feeling as they used to. The conversation spreads into a kind of false divorce going on where the trio come up with a controversial plan to share Kenny’s grip. Aside from feeling overwhelmed by everything else going on, the boys ’broken connection has never been so convincing, other than the idea that a half-hearted reset is -assed feels like a thinner, smaller 2011 result. “You’re getting old. ”
The concept of an unsolicited resume ends up working much better when taken to the points of a larger overnight geopolitical plot. Once everyone has the vaccine, pretty much everything goes back to normal, with Fort William forgiveness, Walgreens abandoned, the old people went back to their nursing home, and people from South Park engaging in reckless socialization (the two dudes sniffing neatly in each other ‘s mouths were nice). Unlike the divorce subplot, the weekend hits home because – let’s face it – as human beings, we’re not always so good at learning from our worst mistakes. As soon as enough of us get a full vaccine, will we take steps to prevent another pandemic, or will we do just as it never happened, following the same behavior that led to the spread COVID in the first place? Whatever the outcome, South Park he will be there to make fun of us for it. And like the QAnon series, no additional text will be required.
Wrong thoughts
- Hello! I’m happy to cover again South Park after a long hiatus. Here’s hoping we get a full season in the fall.
- It may have been a combination of liveliness and fluency or it may have been just a complete absence of the setting, but there was something completely unsettling about the old boy making donuts on his a motorcycle in the school car park.
- How did everyone feel about a metafictional angle in the end where Mr. Garrison seemed to be interacting with the animators / creators of the show (probably Parker and Stone)? I’m on the fence about it. On the one hand, it all felt a little easy in terms of intention, but on the other hand, that was the kind of point.
- Speaking of which, Mr. White’s physical appearance after turning into a major punishment felt like a Tetsuo Cartman form back in “Trapper Keeper.”
- “We were all really on your side.”
- “The elite want to fuck with our kids? We fuck them. “
- “So is Oprah drinking the same blood as Obama or is he usually a different child? ”
