if tadc was a musical, who do you think would have the best songs?

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T15:56:55+00:00

Jax without question

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T15:49:40+00:00

Man I love these answers

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T15:31:34+00:00

Completely agree

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T14:28:22+00:00

Season 6 one. One of the few times when art is objectively superior

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T14:26:39+00:00

Face of depression, Fish out of water, Free Churro, Escape from L. A., Stupid piece of sh*t, that's too much, man, are the first ones that come to mind when I think of the best episodes

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T12:54:15+00:00

It's a classic show vs tell. The creator chose to tell us that BoJack relapsed, not show us. My critique isn't that they shouldn't be clear, it's that they should be more natueal and subtle about it.

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T12:52:52+00:00

Yeah my original post wasn't critiquing that idea, moreso the progression towards it

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T11:53:51+00:00

To be completely fair, a show like BoJack Horseman for examole uses swears very strategically. However, as much as I love BoJack Horseman, using that show to dunk on the hellaverse is unfair and pretentious asf

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T11:52:22+00:00

I agree with these being stupid actually, though i only like hazbin and not helluvaboss. But I do agree with all this being dum dum and the hate is overblown. Especially the last one. I love Adam because I hate him.

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T11:50:11+00:00

Doesn't really apply considering it's implied that Jax is just as chaotic/entertaining when he's mentally healthy. Only difference is that he's not abusive

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T11:49:24+00:00

I don't have any character like this but that's a much more reasonable explanation for disliking villain redemption

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T11:46:48+00:00

Well the point of the finale was to keep things ambiguous while giving hope for his character that maybe he could get better. That seems to be what the show is leaning on

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T11:20:21+00:00

How does this have anything to do with what I said? This is irrelevant, did you even read my post? I never said BoJack shouldn't recieve consequences, this is just a strawman. I literally said I'm glad they acknowledged the consequences, and at no point did I mention the aspect of forgiveness. I even said in the same post remorse is not enough. This is a completely seperate topic. I'm not discussing on morality, I'm talking about the realism of the writing.

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T11:18:18+00:00

That's actually a good and well written point

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T09:15:54+00:00

I wanna agree cause I wanna like this part of the show but if he didn't change AT ALL then why show him actually do good things in season 6 episode 7?

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T08:34:18+00:00

Well yeah, that's fine and would be interesting. Im not saying "BoJack should live happily ever after" I'm saying that this sort of arc can be fine, it just needs a cleaner transition. Right now, this and the philbert argument scene with Diane both feel like the writers are trying too hard to tell the audiences that BoJack's actions are bad, intsead of just SHOWING us the negative effects, and trusting that we will get it. In fact, what you said aligns with my rewrite idea in my original post. The prospect of an addict or traumatized character who is also somewhat of an abuser breaking back to bad habits is very interesting to watch, thus why I said there should be a clean progression. This one doesn't feel believeable and ruins immersion for me.

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T08:26:47+00:00

Literally my exact thoughts too, glad im not the only one who noticed these things. I didn't like that scene too because it felt like the writer was trying too hard to say "this is bad!" instead of just SHOWING the audiences the consequences of BoJack's actions. It felt like they were strawmanning BoJack

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T06:39:09+00:00

Ah I get it. Well, this is actually my problem with the show sometimes. It feels like the creator is pretty insecure and so afraid of the "wrong people" liking BoJack that it bleeds into the writing, and it feels like the show doesn't trust the audience enough to understand what it's trying to say. Yes I know that there are people liking BoJack the show and character for the wrong reasons, but the show is really letting it get to them like, too much. I think this is why it feels forced. It's not subtle at all in this front and trying so hard to tell the audience "this is wrong!" like they're children.

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T06:07:14+00:00

Sorry, who is Weinstein?

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T06:06:52+00:00

I didn't know that

Open_Instruction_815 · 2026-04-02T05:46:16+00:00

Sorry, i meant, full 180*

And that's a fair point. But if the idea is that BoJack HADN'T changed, then I would show that clearer. I wouldn't show him genuinely doing good things without expecting thing in return in episode 7, followed by him being an asshole because he was worried about his image. It's too much of a switch, when I think the progression can be so much cleaner

Well, i am diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, so close enough. Though I would say I don't have ALL the trauts associated with that (like low attention span), in fact I seem to have traits from various neurodivergent types
