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

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.

Where caring about things or people was for squares and liars; REAL people embrace their shittiness!

Bojack Horseman really isn't like that at all The core problem driving all its action is that Bojack cannot be happy "just being himself", he finds being himself intolerable

The Pickle Rick episode has his therapist say this directly to his face, he's cruisin' for a cosmic bruisin', he's deliberately doing this search for a being powerful enough to overpower and destroy him because he can't stand living as himself

that's just the show trying to have its cake and eat it too, the show loves Rick to much to ever make his existence anything less than what it is, it worships at his shrine and then throws out little justifications like that one to try & pretend it doesn't

Fair enough Although that's why the best episode of the show is Tales from the Citadel, the one that, by definition, can't be about Rick owning other people with his cleverness
