I still think Bojack, Beatrice and Grandpa Horseman are responsible for their terrible actions. There are many traumatized people out there that don’t project that trauma onto their loved ones. Beatrice’s father took his wife to get lobotomized because he didn’t take her grief seriously. If he had taken her grief seriously she wouldn’t have gotten lobotomized. Their trauma explains their actions. It does not excuse them. Great video though

And that's why Bojack was held accountable in the end. He lost people in his life because of his actions.

One piece of constructive criticism I have is your long pauses. Your video would flow much more smoothly if you cut them down a bit. Not saying eliminate them entirely as many are clearly purposeful and add more impact. But, I could easily see people getting bored and turning your stuff off if it feels this slow (particularly toward the beginning, as the pace did gain momentum overtime). This coming from someone who will generally listen to slow-talkers without feeling the need to interrupt them. Not everyone will have the attention span. That said, your analysis is thourough and interesting. Likewise, your directing choices and editing are well-done and contribute to the atmosphere, giving your words added weight. The fact that you are having fun with this shines through your (presumably deliberately) stoic delivery. I'm definitely interested in seeing more from you.

The psychology and philosophy talk in the end of this analysis, you created a video that clearly states, that the perpetuator of reality faces the reflection of perpetuating to itself. In this integrating reality. Everyone in a house of mirrors trying to find themselves and others, trying to make something out of it, making that heaven or hell. Nice reflexive analysis.

I don't think it's entirely fair to place all the blame on BoJack. Regardless of what Sartre said about free will, BoJack does make efforts to improve himself, even if he ultimately falls short. Throughout the series, there are many instances where BoJack tries earnestly to become a better person, whether it's by going to rehab, pursuing relationships, focusing on his career, or teaching. He attempts nearly every possible path to redemption, yet still seems unable to fully escape his destructive patterns. The final episode provides some hopeful notes, with BoJack taking accountability for his actions. However, putting the full weight of responsibility on him does not constructively address his complex struggles. It's compelling to consider why, despite his best efforts, BoJack remains unable to achieve lasting, positive change. His traumatic childhood and the resulting emotional scars seem to sabotage his growth at every turn, dragging him back into the abyss. Perhaps the problem goes deeper than mere willpower. While BoJack makes efforts to improve himself, he remains unable to achieve lasting, positive change. It's thought-provoking to consider why this is. His traumatic childhood and the emotional scars from abusive parents are certainly relevant factors. However, some may argue these experiences do not absolve him of responsibility for his actions. Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in between. BoJack's story provokes deeper examination of the complex interplay between childhood trauma, psychological patterns, and free will. Does BoJack remain trapped by his past, or does he ultimately choose his destructive actions? The layers of nuance merit looking again at his character arc. There may be overlooked or under-appreciated factors that provide insight into why BoJack repeats hurtful cycles, despite striving for redemption. His narrative highlights the difficulties of parsing human behavior into clear categories of responsibility and victimhood. By challenging us to look beyond these dichotomies, BoJack's tale reveals important philosophical questions about the extent to which we can truly determine our own fate.

Gone…reduced to atoms. Seriously though, it felt so archaic and dystopian to theoretically place primary blame on “cold mothers” for the way children turn out. Or more precisely it’s easier to blame a mother when things go wrong, and praise a father for being present when things go right. It’s based on societal bias that goes back centuries and firmly influences Freudian, Kant etc. I wish video essayists would reference more updated psychoanalysis, especially since Freudian analysis is notoriously flawed. Bojack placed primary hate & blame his mother. Which I have no problem with as the character suffered a lot in her hands. However the deeper context of the show takes time to be critical of patriarchal structures and how women suffer, react and adapt to them. I’m unnerved it barely comes up in the video at all….

That really is it right? Some of us, me included, grow up in toxic environments. We grow up with the worst foundations to have as a person and that generational trauma does play a part in setting out a path for us.... but we ultimately have the decision on what we do with that foundation. We can decide to grow, and work, and learn. It's not easy and a lot of us feel like its impossible, and i don't blame people for feeling like that, but the truth is that we are capable of making choices. Those choices might be harder for us due to the foundations set out, with different challanges than others, but we have the power to change all of that, even if its the hardest thing you do in your life. If we want to get better and stop causing more pain to ourself and others, we must do that hard thing.

Man I was excited for a good deep dive bojack essay but opening with several minutes of defining Frueds ID, EGO, superego is frustrating. I respect the work that goes into video essays so no hate for putting in the work, honestly if the op sees this comment just ignore it I’m blowing off steam, but I am so disappointed by a majority of bojack essays. This show is a lot more in-depth than loose pseudo science arguments by Frued. Bojack is much more than his inability to control his impulse and generational trauma. He fits shockingly realistically into both BPD and NPD, and I feel like there’s a lot to take away from his patterns of behavior and how the show reacts to its audience in turn shaping bojack in later seasons. Bojack is incredibly blunt about the psychology and history of its cast, so a lot of essays aiming to be character studies wind up being plot summaries. This isn’t subtext, it’s just text! I worry about dissuading others or belittling interest by wanting something that tackles more (I don’t have a phd who am I to talk) but I’m kinda tired of giving another 20 minute video a chance that repeats what every one before it did. The water part was good. But it was also the last line. I just. I need current video essays to get away from this attitude that any information is unconventional. I’m half tempted to delete this to not be an asshole and leave it up so I can hear what other people think. I need an honest, controversial dialogue about this show so bad.

Completely agree with the conclusion that it's only Bojacks fault. You could even reach the same conclusion narratively through all the foils he has. Was it his bad childhood? No, Diane had a bad childhood and she doesn't have the same problems Bojack has. Was it his career? No, Mr. Penutbutter is doing fine. Was it the alcohol and drugs? No, Todd doesn't have Bojacks struggles. Bojack can't even blame his genetics, because Holly Hock turned out fine. The only thing that Bojack can blame for his issues is himself, and that fact is only strengthened in the last season when he starts progressing because he finally decided to work on himself and go to therapy.

oh but what if his adiction was genetic and what if he was suffering from an undiagnosed disorder? and what if his trauma combined with his work circumstances made him detached from reality? and what about the unwanted pressure that comes with being famous in a world in which celebrities arent allowed to be people? its you, its on you is just a convinient excuse you need to keep going without finding yourself acountable for the way you treat others bojacks mother engaged in child abuse in an era in which child abuse was no longer permisible and did illegal things to bojack yet she never met any consequences over it and why would you live a moral life and respect the law when you do not live and have never lived in a world with laws and morals? when a child grows up with sex, drugs and violence and as an adult he commits a crime of that nature you lock him up because he is dangerous and you only lock him up because he is dangerous ther is no other possible justification for this, you arent punishing nor are you rehabilitating him you are locking him up and hoping he come out too old to do it again and its not like you have a choice, are you going to teach a monkey not to eat bananas? i think people who come up with excuses to justify how awful we are to each other, to justify the mountain of violence thats surrounds us are the scum of the earth, worse than nazis, the worst people who have ever lived, they belong in hell sitting and waiting and making even more excuses
