Adventures in Binging: 'Prodigal Son'

I'm sorry this took forever to actually write, but I binge-watched all of #ProdigalSon a while back ago and here are my thoughts

This post is coming much later than I intended it to, but I binge-watched all of Prodigal Son. And by the end of it, I just found myself wondering why this show didn’t get picked up. Especially since I got so much of a response when I tweeted my thoughts on the season one finale. Regardless, if you couldn’t already tell, I really enjoyed the show. The Premise Prodigal Son follows Malcolm, a…

I think one underrated tragedy of Ice King's scars is that he probably took away Simon's sense of levity.

Like in his very limited appearances before Simon is consumed by the crown we see he's kind of a silly dude. In his introduction video, he only put on the crown in order to playfully tease his fiancee. Plus watching him make light of the loneliness and general misery for a young girl in a broken world. He was a dedicated man, who was generous and loved with his whole heart and threw himself one hundred percent into everything he did. He was also a fun lil guy.

But after almost a millennia of being a mad man, the brunt of every joke, someone who only existed as a broken caricature of himself and couldn't be counted on to take anything seriously, I imagine he was done with it. Now he wants to focus back on his academic endeavors, on his role as a father figure in Marcy's life, on being a proper adult. Any attempts to be silly could easily remind everyone - including himself- of Ice King, something he's eager to avoid.

So his jokes and jibes and general lightheartedness turned to sarcasm and self deprecating comments.

it's been literal years since either of these episodes aired so I can't possibly be the only person to notice but like. this is an intentional parallel, right. it has to be.

you know, a big reason i kinda drifted away from the phandom last year was because of how prevalent dp x dc content had become. at the time, i was more of a marvel girlie and i didn’t know much about the batfam or dc content in general. but this year during my (somewhat unintentional) hiatus i coincidentally got really into superman media, which then spiraled into an interest in the batfam and dc as whole and oh god I GET IT NOW

I GET THE APPEAL

dp x dc content creators, keep it going, y’all are doing wonders for this community

I recently finished a binge of Adventure Time + Distant Lands so that I could really enjoy Fionna and Cake, and because I really like Finn, I drew a lot of him!

This is my official binge watchlist of 2024. It's a mix between shows I didn't get the chance last year and some new additions too.
