baelysewillems replied to your post āok i know iāve been a grump complaining about this season (probs cause...ā
Honestly im hoping that now mac is out for good the jokes stop? Like its not funny, it just comes across as homophobic and rcg have said before in interviews they wont do a 'joke' if the audience knows its not acceptable (i.e. Not using the word r***rd) but who knows?? ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ this whole season just feels off to me maybe its just bc they're experimenting and trying something different & its not meshing with the shows original concept we're used to but idk i just feel v meh about this season
Like if they are prepared to say the n word then maybe they just dont care about that anymore but honestly one of my fave things about sunny was that you could tell the difference between the writers views and the characters views and now its just like they want to go for a more standard sitcom format whilst pretending its still the same sunny as before if you get what im trying to say? It feels a lot more generic and bland than it used to, the characters dont feel as complex as before?
they have used the N word in the first episode, also by charlie, and theyāve done blackface, and used the R word. i believe they only stopped using it because something about FXās rules changed about whether or not you could use it. iām pretty certain thatās whyĀ ādonkey brainsā came to b, because they couldnāt use the R word anymore (correct me if iām wrong though >_>).Ā
but i agree that this season definitely feels off. i felt like last season and this season (though more so last season) just didnāt match the general tone of the rest of the series. like you said, i think the issue this season is thereās so much experimentation thatās taking them away from the core dynamic between the main characters, and i think that could be why the characters seem more bland, because theyāre relying on big concepts like musicals to do the work for them instead of giving the characters development (yeah, yeah, i know sunny characters donāt haveĀ ādevelopmentā but i mean.. they do, maybe just not in the exact way that other sitcom characters do)
