south park review season 46 episode 63 review "Gay wedding"

Hello welcole back to south park reviews where you should not check the date this what uploaded

So today we are reviewing the last episode of south park ever so this is the end of the series i guess but don't worry with the episode having a run time of 48 houres we have a lot to talk about

First of all after all this time kenny and butters (the 2 main characters of the show after cartman died in car accident and stan and kyle dissapeared for no reason without ever being mentioned again) are finally getting marryed. This is shocking nobody expect this unless you read the name of the episode in which case the reveal that has 16 houres of build up will be meaingless now you could say this is a flaw but its in fact one of the best deceions by current show runner trey parker jr since you are gonna be so tired after 16 houres you probably forgot the name of the epsiode.

Well after all of that the wedding finally starts and something happens after 13 seasons stan and kyle return to the show it turns out they where just in a really long sidequest trying to get cartman back to life but it failed so they just wherent here for 13 years for no reason.

Now here since this is the last episode all your favorite character make a cameo including weed guy (not randy just weed guy) minecraft steve, the guy from that one episode people liked, bryan griffin, the car the runned over cartman and lebron james.

After they get marryed they tell stan and kyle that there is one way they think they can bring cartman back. They must travel back in time to the first episode of season 35 to get the car of the road. Thats right they must travel back in time to the first episode of season 35 to get the car of the road

So after they start traveling back in time to the first episode of season 35 to get the car of the road. They finally arrive and there they get the car off the road (this took another 12 houres to happen) and finally after saving cartman they walk up to him but when they get close cartman notices them and says "haha i killed myself so you guys would travel back in time to save me haha screw you guys you suck" after this another car passes by and runs over kenny killing him

The episode just ends there

Grade: AAA (the battery)

Kenny death grade: Ñ

(Actual review coming back soon probably)

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.

then they started fighting Covid precautions.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.

now my parents think climate change is a myth.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.

then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.

now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.

you can guess who they voted for.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.

when did they forget?

Beautopia Review

Susan Strong returns, and the show recognizes how significant her reintroduction is to Finn and the audience by staging her appearance at the Treehouse as grand and important. Jake is distrusting of Susan, bringing up the events of her first episode, while Finn still holds on to the hope that Susan is human. Susan herself has developed, now speaking slightly more fluent English. We can already infer that the Hyoomans are mutated descendants of humans who sought shelter during the Mushroom War. We learn in this episode that those humans didn’t just live in a dirty sewer. They built an underground civilization called Beautopia. Beautopia, just like the humans led by Two Bread Tom and Hugo, shows its in humans’ nature to rebuild. Beautopia is even an island civilization of sorts. Unlike the islands and The Drift, Beautopia’s society was abandoned presumably hundreds of years ago. Susan has attempted freeing Beautopia from the Lub Glubs before, but meeting Finn has reignited her hope of restarting the civilization.

Jake’s prejudice towards the Hyoomans is on full display. He scares them with his shapeshifting for his amusement, building on his desire to rule them like “angry gods” in “Susan Strong”. Susan almost drowning Finn works great as a reminder that Finn and Susan are not exactly the same. The episode really plays up the awkwardness between their relationship. Finn and Susan do feel a connection to each other and they want to be in each other's lives, but their lack of understanding of what the other person is keeps getting in the way. This scene and Susan’s surprise of Finn’s lack of gills is a wake up call for Finn at how different they are. Finn must be disappointed and starts to believe that she probably is a fish person. However, he still feels a connection to her. That and his heroic nature makes him determined to still help and trust Susan and defend her from Jake’s insults. In actuality, Susan’s surprise is that he is like her. Finn takes his hat off here and his hair has continued to grow back since “Mortal Folly”. 

Finn, Jake, and Susan take a boat to Beautopia, a precursor to the Islands crew (minus BMO). We get a string of great Jake moments including a very catchy sea shanty. Jake’s smug reaction to Susan’s terror over a pool floaty is hilarious, and him struggling to breathe while being used as a paddle is even funnier. Another pool floaty coming out after an ominous buildup with horror movie music is also very funny. The true forms of the Lub Glubs have a very creepy design. The implication that they have existed for hundreds of years leads me to believe they were mutated from nuclear residue, eventually pushing out the humans. One of them chews on a human skull with a bunny hat, leading to many wild fan theories connecting it to Fionna. 

Jake and Susan complete their arcs in this episode with Jake finally trusting in Susan and Finn once again inspiring Susan to overcome her fears. Finn tells Susan that humans and hyoomans have to stick together, staying consistent with Finn’s lesson in “Susan Strong” that everyone is the same or “wild animals”. Jake delaying throwing in the lantern is yet another hilarious moment. One of the Lub Glubs reminds Jake of his mother, like how a drawing of one reminded him of his father. Many interpret this as a subconscious memory of Warren Ampersand. It could be, but I don’t think the resemblance is quite strong enough. 

The episode ends on a fantastic, quiet moment. Finn and Susan have yet another awkward moment, with Finn refusing to stay. Susan puts Finn’s hand under her hat, resulting in the two finally understanding each other. The episode does not confirm if Finn’s reaction was to him feeling gills or not. However, I think it can only be read as Finn realizing Susan is human, even without the context of later episodes. Susan puts Finn’s hand there as a response to Finn telling her he isn’t like her. Finn’s surprise only works if she is human because Finn was already convinced Susan was a hyooman. I like the reveal being more subtle and the show’s restraint at only giving us a tiny piece of the puzzle.

The dynamic of Finn, Jake, and Susan makes for a great episode with lots of nuanced interaction full of heart, tension, and hilarity. It makes for a worthy followup to one of season two’s best episodes.

From Bad to Worse Review

“From Bad to Worse” is a sequel to the first episode, and also borrows zombie apocalypse tropes. It may not be the most unique episode, but it's still enjoyable. This isn’t a retread of the series first episode, as this focuses on the zombie chase itself. I actually think this would have worked better as a direct continuation of “Slumber Party Panic”. Allowing the zombies to stay uncured at the end of the first episode and leading into a part two would have gotten rid of the very dumb and canonbreaking climax in “Slumber Party Panic”. Still, Cinnamon Bun eating the sample of zombie flesh is a funny catalyst. 

In addition to Finn and Jake, LSP and Lady Rainicorn get to tag along for the story, providing some extra good moments. The worst part of the episode is the 45 second sequence of the four mixing chemicals in the same way multiple times. It’s not terrible, but why not make the antidote mixing more zany? Especially to tie into the wacky results of the antidotes. However, I do like the sequence of using the antiserum. Starchy getting snatched by a now winged zombie is funny. Always nice to see him pop in for a gag. LSP licking her antidote up for the luscious lips is also amusing. I like how the antidotes, including Jake and Lady’s, backfire and make the candy zombies stronger. 

Jake stretching to keep the zombification from spreading is one of the most clever uses of his powers so far, and adds some great suspense and urgency. I love Finn reassuring himself. He’s clearly distraught over losing Jake (Jake death foreshadowing). We know how devastating the thought is for him (“Mystery Train”, “The New Frontier”). Finn forces those feelings down to focus on the task at hand. Even the usually much more mature Lady Rainicorn can’t do this, freeing Jake. Finn is left alone and his acceptance of failure is a big moment for such a relentless character. 

Science the Rat works fine enough as a resolution. It was adequately foreshadowed. They didn’t let us forget about that rat. Jake being cured and immediately turned again is a hilariously fucked up moment that presents an interesting conundrum. Finn covering himself in the antidote is very clever but probably should have injured him more. Seems that the antidote heals the zombie bites. Lady tells Jake that she loves being bitten by him (new zombie kink unlocked?). PB telling Finn to move out of the way is a funny way to end the episode, even if it doesn’t make sense for her to say that in such a celebratory tone.

Grade: B+
