South Park: Joining the Panderverse

The absolutely correct phrase that emphasize the current problem with movies and shows.

Matt and Trey had given us this gem of an episode that finally tackles these annoying issues that plague the Hollywood today.

The plot is amazing and relevant to the current situation. People had forget how to work with their hands. All characters are being replaced. Stupid multiverse on every corner. Such an amazing dig at many of Hollywood giants.

Thank you Matt and Trey for this masterpiece of great piece of humor. Never surrender and keep it up. These aren't the best of times and this show keep up the spirit. Amazing and highly advised for all.

South Park seems to always call out the absurd extremists on both sides of every issue. Not only do they call them out, they make it funny and entertaining. I think the world would be a better place if politicians would consult with the creators and writers of this show. With most politicians and media personalities, on both sides, out of touch with average people this would help. This special hits the nail on the head showing Hollywood laziness and shameless pandering. This episode does target Disney the most, but it's really true for the entertainment industry as a whole. I highly recommend everyone to watch this special.

Another excellent special hitting the nail on the head of recent events. So many parts I laughed out loud because it was so on point with current events. The South Park team are always excellent at assessing these moments and then putting them into shows. Much like the Pandemic special and Streaming wars were. I don't know how well it will go down with Disney but what this show raises are very real points which in this current climate strike the nerves of many people. As they always do they articulate what many of us think but can't say. I am actively trying not to give any details of the episode because its better to enjoy it yourself. But I would 100% recommend this special..

South park has had many ups and down the last few years. But the specials were always a moment where south park could go above and beyond.

And I'm glad to tell you that this special is no different.

Balancing the tried and true formula with new ideas has always been a tough act. And in this episode they do repeat some storybeats from other recent specials. But not so much where it became boring.

Overall this episode shows a lot of the qualities post 2020 south park has to offer. And when ranking all the south park specials, this one sits somewhere slightly above the middle. Still the above average quality compared to standard episodes. But not hall of fame worthy.

Certainly worth a watch.

If comedy is one of the best forms of criticism and social commentary that any kind of establishment or oppression is not happy with then South Park is all too familiar with being an equal opportunities offender taking comedic jabs at everyone and everything throughout its long run. This episode made the news for this exact reason, since South Park, an established franchise is the first time ever the entertainment industry dared criticise the declining state of Disney and Hollywood in general, the mockery is intense and unmistakeable, yet tasteful and comedic. The title of the episode, "pander-verse" , is a portmanteau of the multi - "verse" and "pandering" ; it is common knowledge Hollywood is mass producing mediocre superhero movies and remakes that fail at the box office one after another and it is this exact phenomenon South Park is mocking in this episode while making social commentary on the changes AI is going to bring in society.

A great episode, great commentary, a must watch, my favorite scene is parallel universe Cathleen-Cartman Kennedy ordering at the Asian Wok restaurant, the scene is too much fun!! They nailed it!
