#2) the sheer presence of death whenever kenny is used in merch; advertising; and media outside the show- Often that's his only contribution

I am once again thinking about The Poor Kid
#(Also actually watching the source material can change your opinion on it. Shocking; i know)#Anyway. As i make my way through season 9 i see just *how* prop-like kenny is#It puts a few things into perspective#1) the 'at least you finally get to do something' line in The Jeffersons#2) the sheer presence of death whenever kenny is used in merch; advertising; and media outside the show- Often that's his only contribution#3) in The Poor Kid we take a look at the McCormick household for the first time in a while#Stuart and Kevin are yelling and beating each other up. Carol tries to intermediate but just adds more noise to the situation#Karen clings to her mother for comfort; including herself in the chaos. And kenny quietly sits on the sidelines to avoid getting involved#And it seems this is nothing new#I always knew kenny was quiet at school and didnt initiate most of the trouble his friends get into#But already there's been a lot of episodes where he might as well not even be there#I've seen with my own eyes just how badly he gets reduced to almost background character status when he isnt suffering a painful death#And it's made all the more tragic to know this was likely a habit he picked up in order to keep himself safe from his own family
