there's a part of me that has the soul of a 12 year old in the '90s trapped permanently inside me. i think Mr Hankey is awesome and actively anticipate his appearances. i pine for the days where Cartman was known as the respect mah authoritah and pot pie kid. i respect the lore that they give for Kenny's deaths later on, but i also particularly respect its episodic nature earlier on and seeing how they try to subvert the novelty of it so early on (but this might also just be the cartoonist and lover of gags in me talking). i am having a blast with this rewatch and i really am excited to see how the show evolves in its characters and art direction, but there is such a prominent part of me that wishes it stayed forever in the '90s and everything looked bad and there were maybe too many fart jokes but endearingly so. even i can acknowledge that it would be a worse show for it, but it would be my worse show π«Ά
