South Park season 13 - Page 3

No, I actually love most of the absolute stupidest South Park episodes. I'll laugh at damn near anything.

It was just genuinely bad this time.

Angerz · 03-19-2009, 07:22 PM

I like any episode with Professor Chaos and General Disarray.

That said, the episode was just OK. Not great, not terrible.

it was just a bad episode, the reason is i think they really were going for a watchmen theme then they ran out of stuff to do so they threw batman in for good measure and it failed.

theawddone · 03-19-2009, 07:42 PM

Before I watched it, my roommates told me it was a watchmen episode. However, after the opening scene it was pretty much just batman IMO. Except for the part where the kid announces who he is, that was definitely out of Iron Man. I think it was just attempting to be a parody of the entire super hero movie craze... it had it's funny parts, but not an episode I'd really choose to watch again over other ones.

Goofy · 03-19-2009, 08:44 PM

I think it was an alright episode. The ending sucked.

Frieza_Prexus · 03-19-2009, 09:44 PM

The whole time I was thinking Kenny was Mysterion. Then we get that ending. Makes me a sad panda to not know.

They should have had a sniper shoot Mysterion in the head at the end, and then go with the same idea of not telling who he was. That'd be sufficient proof it was Kenny

Frieza_Prexus · 03-19-2009, 10:03 PM

Yeah, when he was "dead' I was sure I was right.

if you watch it again, there's that segment where professor chaos shows coon his wall of choices. in the lower right, there's a nameless kid wearing purple.. he's nameless because the comedy central logo covers his name.

you know it's someone cartman called out at school, as he pointed out at the end. there's that part in the hallway, where wendy says it could be a girl and shit. well, if you look closely, the kid is there too, somewhere off to the left.
he's also in the classroom, as cartman makes his project out.

i don't know who the kid is, but of the options i've seen, this one seems the most likely. some random, no name character, introduced for the sole purpose of never being named.

anyways- the episode was ok. they need a randy marsh spinoff, god damnit.

Heylel Teomim · 03-20-2009, 11:58 AM

Yeah a good Randy episode is due. Those are usually seasonal highlights.

Grooverider · 03-20-2009, 02:18 PM

To be completely honest, I enjoyed the episode. I certainly didn't detest it like many of you seem to have.

I did feel slightly let down though because I think the concept had the potential to be one of those classic episodes but clearly fell short of that. It's a shame that happened because it really could have been turned into a two parter mocking Batman Begins, Batman Returns & Watchmen.

Still; it was entertaining..

This. More Randy please.

Moontayle · 03-20-2009, 03:14 PM

I enjoyed it as well. It had that Pratchett-esque absurd humor thing going for it. I also found the dismissal everyone had of The Coon while Mysterion was essentially accepted despite being equally ridiculous to be pretty humorous. Oh, and Chaos and General Disarray for the win.

This. It was a solid concept poorly executed. One of the few times that T&M didn't fulfill the promise of the concept.

this city is a dying whore...

it killed me that they were talking like bale.

and all of the vo/dialogue that the coon and mysterion had was really well done imo.

when cartman pushed disarray away it killed me.
