South Park: Post Covid

Some repetitive jokes aside, this one was definitely a step up compared to what we've seen the last couple of years. Not the absolute best, but certainly a reminder of what South Park CAN be. Finally, it was about the kids (albeit in grown up form) again. Also, I feel like they're gonna wrap up the whole 'Tegridy' story (which I HATE) in a satisfying way. Enjoyable throughout.

I watched South Park: Post Covid soon after the passing of Virgil Abloh. I've been watching a lot of Virgil x Kanye interviews lately, a paragraph didn't pass without Kanye mentioning the South Park episode where they threw jabs at his fashion. I realize how much social commentary South Park made and the impact on our landscape.

Post Covid is not any less. They throwing jabs at the pandemic, anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theories, cancel culture, censorship of comedy etc.

The censorship of comedy is one of the things which stands out in this movie as it tries to censor itself whilst mocking how much effect censorship has on comedy (people will say this South Park's comedy sucks - uhm duh - that's the point they are trying to highlight when it comes to censorship).

Go in with an open mind and try not comparing it with South Park of years past.

That's all this really is to me. A Loveletter to the show, everyone's all grown up and to be honest it's so different and yet very familiar. And it's also a lot darker and emotional, which is unexpected from this comical show. People say this show is struggling to be relevant but in all honesty, what are they talking about? This depiction of the future, whether you like it or not is depressingly real. Humor and culture and "being offended too easily". All of this was on point. It was annoying at first when they used the "this is the future" joke but it stuck with me because honestly this is the direction the future is heading. I cannot wait for the next episode of this new fresh start. Which feels like a big climatic end to a legendary series. And I wish it was.

Edit: I just watched this twice with my younger brother. We both liked it again. But I feel like only fans of South Park would find this special. It relies on old characters and general knowledge of the show to uphold it's quality. This really is not just a love letter to south park, but to the fans.

Don't believe the other guy with the bad review , believe me , cause he sucks balls. 10/10. More Co vid and tyrannical government related stuff please . Its super c0ool.

If you're a fan of South Park, you'll love this and all sorts of references to the show, their pandemic special. If you're not a fan, maybe you'll have a good laugh too.

Some of those twists and turns, it did NOT see coming. LOL. Future Cartman and future Kenny are what!? XD Hahaha. And that ending though! I'm excited about what looks like the Part 2.
