>>1840576I will agree. I remember watching the pilot episode when it first aired on tv. I thought I had made it up in a dream until I found it on youtube. Cosmo could have been a good role model for kids but instead they turned him into a literal man child.

I'd leave a comment asking them who this is supposed to appeal to given that 99% of anti-abortion advocates are right-wing and hate unions and socialism:

No.1840588
>>1840576>>1840578Honestly it's wack that they split Vicky into Vicky and Crocker. The pilot has Vicky aware something is sus and saying she's going to figure it out. Also it was funnier when Mom and Dad were faceless and just kind of aloof instead of acting like they have brain damage.

>>1840584i implore everyone (who is bored) to look into the astrology of communism, its pretty interdasting
>It’s pretty well-established in the astrological lore that the Saturn/Neptune cycle is relevant to the history of communism, and to major turning points in Russian history.
>The Communist Manifesto was published in the wake of the 1846 conjunctions (with Saturn still in orb of Neptune). Actually, that year, 1848, was the last time Saturn and Neptune were copresent in Pisces.
>There were subsequent Saturn/Neptune conjunctions in 1917, the year of the Russian Revolution; in 1952 and 1953, the year Stalin died and also the year the Korean War ended and cemented the division between North and South Korea; in 1989, the year the Berlin Wall fell and also the year of the Tiananmen Square protests. We know it didn’t take long for the Soviet Union to fall apart from there, in 1991.
>We can tell, based on this, that the upcoming Saturn/Neptune conjunction will coincide with another turning point in those histories, and on a similar, if not greater, level of magnitude. No.1840602

No.1841020
>>1840571nta, but the point is that all these movies/tv/games sticking to the same IP/universe limits creativity. We should be encouraging writers to make new worlds and characters instead forcing them into the straitjacket of the same ones over and over again.
Also audiences need to accept the idea that stories have endings. No fictional story can last forever without a huge decrease in quality.
Simpsons is a perfect example. It should have ended decades ago but it's still going because of name recognition and fox/disney draining it's IP of all value.

The best entertainment franchises never last more than ten years.
Especially in the realm of contemporary music.
If the Beatles didmt break up in 1970, they would become self-parodies that would be haunted by their dorky phase.
Look what happened to the Beach Boys.
Movies and TV shows you have more leeway. Thats we they use generational set of characters for the same fictional universe.
