>Almost 20 years after the end of the original series>Malcolm now lives a happy life with his daughter Leah and girlfriend Tristan, having distanced himself from his birth family>He is forced to bring them into the family's chaos when his parents Hal and Lois demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.I don't understandall the trailers and marketing depict him as having gone no-contact with his parents because of what a caustic cunt his mom iswhy doesn't he just say no?
>>219175220He’s being blackmailed by someone over the time he convinced Lois she had cancer— or rather that would be the reason if anime involved actually remembered their own show
>>219175333>animelmao anyone*
>>219175220Malcolm if you don't come to our anniversary I'm going to tell the government you're the one who taught North Korea how to develop the implosion system for their nuclear weapons.
>>219175220his daughter and wife are like wtf you have a whole family you've never mentioned? we have to visitas far as i understand
>Cut off his family for 20 yearsThis makes no sense to me.The original show they actually loved one another genuinely despite all the bickering they did. Even with Lois they still showed genuine love for like when they beat the shit out of those clowns for mocking her
>>219175220From the trailers it looks like his girlfriend discovers he's keeping his families apart from each other and forces him into it.
>>219175539>Even with Lois they still showed genuine love for like when they beat the shit out of those clowns for mocking herBut he was still a kid. Early adulthood is when people tend to look back and realize how badly they were fucked over and are able to grasp the impact it has on their entire life. It makes perfect sense that Malcolm would cut them off.
>>219175220This is the worst time for yet another session of generational trauma slop
>>219175539I wonder why they are devaluing the family connection in this modern day reboot.
>>219175729What episode did he get molested on screen and this severe trauma occur in again?
why is he wearing the CIA guy outfit?
>>219175220>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THE HIGH-PAYING JOB TO ESCAPE POVERTY, YOU HAVE TO TAKE A DECADE-LONG PATH OF HARDSHIP AND PAIN BARELY SCRAPING BY>I'M GOING TO FORCE YOU DOWN THIS PATH RIGHT BEFORE YOU TURN 18 AND I HAVE NO MORE CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE>IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD AND NOT BECAUSE I'M A TOXIC CONTROLLING BITCHglad to see this has been made the canon interpretation of the ending of the show
>>219176135If Malcolm was adult enough to make his own decisions he’d have taken the guy aside and sat down with him to discuss his decision frankly and maturely, insisting his mother has no standing to weight in.That being said the economy collapses in real life immediately after that episode happens
>>219175503See this is why you have to start beating women early preempt this kind of retardation.Nobody but women would think it's a good idea to meet a family that a man does not mention at all.Those cunts likely reached out themselves behind his back and brought all this on Malcom for no other reason than they're stupid cunts.This is like if your girlfriend invited your ex out to dinner with you and didn't tell you kind of bad.
>>219176135I remember watching the last episodes when it came out and I felt this way about itlater found out the writers genuinely believed that the monologue Malcom's mom gives at the end where she justifies her actions was some profound tear-jerking statement, what the fuck
>>219175539I used to think like you and then I grew up and realized how actually and genuinely shitty alot of my family members were to me and one another.Blood bonds are worthless, meaningless connections and the only people who insist they have any value are the ones who need them so they can shove it in your face.Of course there's nothing wrong or unusual with having a normal, loving family, but thats not a given.
>>219176093>molestation >traumaticyous heep
>>219175220they should have gone full Arrested Development and given him an awkward son but say the mom died.
What?There's no fucking way Malcolm would go no contact with Hal, Dewey, Reese and especially Francis. Were these writers on lean?
>>219176657they haven't said how Malcom's marriage ended yet but he's dating a black chick in the show and has a teenage white daughterwouldn't shock me if there was a death
>>219175333>if anime involved
>>219177176kek
it's so funny how many anons seethe about lois because she reminds them of the time their actual mom took away their PS3 or whatever
>>219176734Millennial writers are the same retards who think it's justified and necessary to cut off your entire family if they don't think Trump is Hitler, what did you expect?
>>219177429what was bizarre is how the show portrayed her as being in the wrong constantly but there was always some sort of weird justification for her to continue acting like that
>>219177429What she did to Reese’s porn crossed a line
>>219177477the justification is that her husband and sons behave like cartoon characters all the time
>>219176491At least the sex is good right
>>219177576Hal was very mentally ill
