      One of their obvious sources of inspiration was CS Lewis' The Screwtape Letters and The Great Divorce and Lewis, being genuinely devoutly religious, Went There to a degree Shur can't Like TGD has a guy who was murdered in Hell with his murderer in Heaven

      It's the kind of thing that logically should come up in TGP but never does, there's no real acknowledgment of "serious" sins Even the fact that Eleanor has contributed to ruining countless lives (like Moist von Lipwig having aggregately murdered 8.3 people) is only really a joke

      Anyway it's interesting contrasting TGP's extremely feel good ending with Bojack's ending that came out at exactly the same time, and had a very similar theme from exactly the opposite point of view

      And, like, that's the thing You can't imagine Bojack going to the Good Place It would be a horrible ending to his show, a betrayal of who he is as a character Even if some kind of radical transformation of who he is is possible, you couldn't show it through wacky hijinks

      And Bojack isn't even THAT BAD of a person I mean he's horrible, he's directly responsible for at least one death, but by the world's standards he's nothing He's no Hitler or Pol Pot or Stalin, his story is meant to evoke Bill Cosby but he's not even that

      TGP's fantasy is something they can only gesture at in broad strokes, and it's the exact fantasy that Bojack dumped cold water on in its penultimate episode Like Chidi says, the Good *Place* is misnamed, it's not a matter of space but time

      Shur's thesis is something that every self-justifying has person has grasped at I didn't have a chance, I didn't have enough time, give me another ten years to work on it, I'll get better And it's an appealing fantasy but one that you know is appealing because it's bullshit

      Bojack just is who he is, the good and the bad, and the only way to stop being who he is is to stop being completely, and that fact is also both good and bad, but mainly it's just inevitable

      This feels like the exact opposite extreme, a position of pure misanthropic nihilism which is both useless and not imo terribly tenable. "People never change" feels empty and self justifying too.

      People... *can* change, but they usually don't, and whether they do is usually not dependent on some great act of will

      But yes, TGP is obviously a "healthier" show to educate your kids with than Bojack Horseman Hell I'd even say that the ending of BH, which I thought was very good, should come with a million content warnings for suicidal ideation

          The only thing Bojack can actually do, in the depths of his guilt, to change himself is to end himself

          (Which is why they did the actual ending, even though the penultimate episode would've also worked fine as an ending God/the universe/etc steps in again and does for Bojack what God's always done for him He gets bailed out one more time, he gets another ten or twenty years)

          I mean, bluntly? What fuels a lot of the core burnout far right people IS the idea that you can't really change, you can only be you.

          Like I'm obviously nor one of those saccharine people who think Hopepunk Will Change the World - but if you ask me a lot of what's driving our current death spiral into reactionary populist hell is the decadent cynicism of the 90s and 00s.
