Post reveals or plot twists that came late in a show's existence and retroactively made the show worse.
>>
Did you actually watch it in the 90s. Americans got to watch it first
>>
>>220528449
I was barely alive in the 90s, but even as a kid with no Internet access I didn't like this episode.
>>
>>220528377
I still don't understand the hate for this episode. The show contradicted it's own lore multiple times before this.
>>
Mac being gay in Sunny.

Buster murdering a woman in Arrested Development.
>>
>>220528463
Classic Simpsons was the 90s but my country didn't get the episodes until the early 2000s
>>
>>220528495
Because this reveal wasn't part of a joke the way Grandpa and Burns' backstories often are, it was a serious plot point as well as the A-plot of the episode.
>>
>>220528495
Americans don't fuck around when it comes to tv. Apparently they loved Skinner's character until this episode

>Somehow Cobel singlehandedly invented the Severance procedure while she was a teenager down to every small detail that's still implemented decades later
Nothing comes remotely close to topping this retarded retcon

>Mac being gay in Sunny.
i thought the hints of it were funny, not the overtness of ti tho
>>
>>220528617
Exactly. It would be like if we were explicitly told Charlie was molested, instead of it just being hinted at.
>>
>>220528617
It was funny when it was hints and his personality was "huge insecure pussy who tries so hard to be a manly badass he comes across as gay involuntarily". Now his personality is just that he's gay.

It's only funny early on because Mac is thinking and saying such gay shit completely oblivious to how gay it is. When he's in on the joke it doesn't work nearly as well for me.

It's ironically way more homophobic (not that I care, but Mac irl seems to care about such things) because instead of the joke being a man obsessed with masculinity that takes it to the extreme of borderline homoeroticism, him being gay IS the joke.

Trailer Park Boys, Lahey is revealed to be Rickys real dad instead of Ray in S10 then one season later they walk it back.
First, no one remembers Tammy (Rays ex wife), Rickys original allegedly biologically mom.
Barb and Laheys daughter Treena would be nearly 30yo by S10. Ricky had a sexual relationship with the only woman the show has shown to have ever returned Laheys affection, Barb. If Lahey is Rickys dad, who then is his mom? Tammy? Lahey never makes any mention of her, nor does the show give any indication they haf any kind relationship.
For a season, the show blatantly implied Ricky might have spite fucked his mom to ragebait his dad.
When the show just let me sit with this i almost didnt want to pick it back up. thrn they gave the balls to completely walk it back with zero explanation, leaving it at 'nobody is your parents, bud'. wtf was even the point
>>
>>220528953
Anything after season 7 Trailer Park Boys is complete shit.
>>
>>220528953
anything past when they started filming in HD isn't worth watching anyway
>>
zoomers will never understand but shows lasting forever is a new thing
shows like Always Sunny lasting 20 seasons has no parallel
>>
>>220528498
He murdered two women.
>>
the bullshit Batman Beyond epilogue in Justice League Unlimited.
>>
>>220529025
The last season was so bad I genuinely can't remember much of what happened.
>>
>>220529043
He murdered his grandmother when he was a child (she was also Lindsay's mother which means Lindsay and Lucille are half-sisters).
Then he murdered Lucille 2 as an adult, the show literally ends with them finding her body in a crawlspace and Buster just grinning creepily.
Yeah, what a clusterfuck.
>>
>>220529024
>shows like Always Sunny lasting 20 seasons has no parallel
And it shouldn't. There is only so much you can do with the same cast of characters. It's part of the reason I have so much astonishment at what On Cinema has managed to pull off over the years.
>>
>>220528377
this episode was fine
>>
>>220529038
I really don't understand the implications of this anyway. Did she or some other spook somehow also kill his dad and manipulate events that forced Terry to meet Bruce? This would have to be far more elaborate than sticking his dad with a dart once
>>
>>220529603
Or alternatively, did they just do it with shit tons of people and he's the only one who made his way into being batman?
>>
>>220528449
Yes, as a kid it was just an okay whatever moment
>>
In S7E7 Lisa the Vegetarian, Ned's idionsyncratic manner of speech is shown to be common throughout his entire family regardless of nationality or ethnicity. Yet in S8E8 Hurricane Neddy, Ned's manner of speech is shown to be caused by repressing his childhood anger at the Doctor's use of the Spankological Protocol.
Heh, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

I don't remember much of AD season 4 then when the first episode of season 5 was just recapping s4 I remembered why I didn't care for it so I stopped
>>
>>220529603
>>220529625
yeah there was a program to create the next Batman, but then all the circumstances happened to Terry by coincidence.

also it means his 'dad' was more like a Bruce Wayne sperm delivery system. Batman is sad his actual parents were murdered. this is like if he found out his dad was Alfred all along.

cheetarah being a spy for mumrah in the reboot of thundercats.
