[@milkiassamuel780]

Its so weird to actually feel sorry for Cartman for once. Despite how he attempted to sabotage the plan by going back in time, the man only did it because he knew that any change in the past would impact the future and likely resort to his family never existing. Even then he still saw of the error of his ways and chose to help set things right. Sadly no one will ever remember what Cartman did and now his future is determined as he he'll never have his family again and remain the spoiled, bad mouthing, lazy loser he was as a kid and never change ultimately becoming homeless and unloved in the future

[@acidead97]

I don't see how people blame anyone but cartman for how his life turned out. You have a responsibility to fix your own life and blaming everyone else instead of taking charge of his own future is what landed him there. That's Cartmans fault and nobody elses, he also did things that can never be forgiven in my opinion, no matter how young he was. Cartman is/was a serious danger to any society he's a part of. I'm happy he messed himself up so bad he's not a danger to anyone else anymore, 100% deserved in my opinion. I believe he has spent his right to a happy life multiple times over, even if he was "just a kid"

[@downbeatdialga1341]

I love some of the animatics that came around during these specials. There was one really heartbreaking one, where it depicts the fallout of Stan, Kyle, and Eric, and then Kenny all alone. Then it goes to Butters also being all alone, after he wasn’t able to go to Build-A-Bear. It’s the idea of showing two hurt souls at their lowest, and that in their hurting, Kenny tells Butters his plans to fix the pandemic 40 years in the making. Then the animatic shows Butters as he is in THIS special, too far gone to reason with, and Kenny obviously dead. It’s one of those bittersweet animations that makes you think, “everything that could’ve gone wrong, went wrong”, and in that timeline, it failed poor Kenny & Butters (losing your friend circle, and not being able to go some placed you were promised you’d go to, right before lockdown). To these kids-and to most people really-those unkept securities as the lockdown began were their breaking points. Even for poor Butters, it was the perfect storm to turn him from the kindest kid in South Park, to a NFT lunatic. And even if everything turns out better by the end of THIS special, you can’t help but feel sad about the Butters & Kenny in the other timeline, something I believe that animatic did a good job of portraying.

In a perfect world/universe as a canon ending that I began to imagine after seeing this special, the future improved for e everyone, including Cartman. They would all be visiting Kenny's house with family and friends, where both Cartman's and Kyle's kids being the best of friends during the visit. And Kyle and Cartman would greet each other as best friends, loving one another as stereotypical wholesome jewish men making jokes and just enjoying the fact that they're all together at the moment despite moving and living apart one another for so long. That to me is a perfect ending as despite all the fucked up things that happened between them, they all grew, changed, matured into a genuine family bond.

Yea bro you were exactly right about Cartman; the future had to suck so hard that Cartman was the only one who truly came out on top! It's hard to fully understand how tragic it would be to have the perfect life you ever could've asked for and have turned your life around completely, only to have it completely erased from time and instead wind up a homeless person with no hope or happiness, which is why I literally cried when I saw how Cartman ended up on first watch. However remembering all of the horrible things he's done and the way he's acted throughout the entire show, it also becomes hard to think why he would've deserved that successful life in the first place! That's part of the beauty of this absolute epic South Park special, which is pure S+ grade material and always will be!! Next up is the Streaming Wars 2 parter, where Cartman undergoes a different type of 'transformation' 🤣
