i liked good place but i stopped after a few episodes of s3 it felt a bit lost. but it is enjoyable, and the genral tone, is ‘be nice’ and more things in general need to be ‘be nice’

I think if you read HHGG as having a message of "be nice" you are really reading back into it The tone of the original series isn't nice at all

Like just as a summary of the difference here, The Good Place takes the destruction of Earth and all life on it as its worst case scenario that all our heroes struggle to stop HHGG starts with this event and milks humor from how nobody but Arthur cares

You'll note that the film has this softened ending (loosely based on SLaTfatF) where the Earth Mk II is actually created and undoes everyone's death In the original series this specifically doesn't happen, the mice decide to just make something up and cancel the project

Lol you're right, I've never read HHGG in my life, I totally don't basically have it memorized from rereading it over and over since I was ten

hey top fact, same, and also i have watched R&M multipul times (spoiler its not that amazing) when you said (more or less) that in a reply to me, it just makes you sound all highfalutin, and basically kinda cements for me, that your exactly the person we said R&M is loved by.

I mean I mostly follow Arthur for stuff on not being a dickhead to trans people so tbh I don't think that. I do think we all need to remember we are just talking about two silly tv shows here.

There's also an element of comparing apples to oranges here, r&m is one tv show and HG is a radio series, TV series and book series with diff structures and cannons, and which is notoriously difficult to adapt to the screen. Fwiw I also agree zaphod is pretty abusive.

very true. its compareing to vastly diffrent things and its never a discussion thats gonna end. i guess what i ment was i see Zaphod as isn’t a dosn’t care nialist, there is none of that in there in any character

That's... literally the point of Zaphod's character, and one of the parts where the series gets dark Zaphod literally surgically removed the parts of his brain capable of caring about higher purpose so his enemies wouldn't find them

He's being manipulated by his past self for the sake of the mission to find the true Ruler of the Universe and resents it because the result of that manipulation was creating a new self who didn't care

Then ironically it turns out the Ruler of the Universe is more like the new him than the old him (and his old ally Zarniwoop) and "not caring" is apparently the best thing you can do in this universe
