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

So getting his career back is... both hopeful and not It's the only way he could possibly live to a ripe old age It also means that fantasy of true change and redemption forced on him isn't gonna happen anytime soon

It's that bittersweet "Well... Maybe this is the best he can do" There's an outside chance something might still happen so he really really changes Or maybe he'll stay in this holding pattern for the rest of his life and still just be a dipshit but never really hurt anyone else
