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.

It may come off that way trying to summarize it in comparison to another thing, but Nothing could be further from the themes of the show Bojack Horseman than that people can’t or shouldn’t change. It’s so in depth about the struggle, necessity, & self power in change

The darkest realization about the series finale is that the other characters *have* changed for the better and that's *why* they've abandoned our protagonist as a lost cause

I also thought it was kind of a hopeful ending too because now with no more training wheels, Bojack will be his own responsibility finally

The whole thing is that the money and fame is what's always held him back and kept him from having to change, even as it's also been the solace that's kept him going and protected him from consequences And now he's got the money and fame back "People have short memories"

And that's just it, he can't live without it He literally can't function as anything other than a rich celebrity, he's stunted When he really thought he'd permanently lost it he chose death rather than going on
