Reverend could finslly have 3 of those things now. Family and Friends, his daughter and Faith.

@elleofhearts8471
@elleofhearts8471 Жыл бұрын
this seems more likely to me than being so madly in love that they neglect doughy. Plus it might be reflective of their inner immaturity. They have an immature view of sex and marriage which emotionally/mentally stunted them and even as parents theyre not able to fully mature and grow past high school maturity. And doughy pays the ultimate price. No one in moralton cares about any of it because theyre not having sex outside of marriage and thats all that really matters to anyone. I doubt anyone in moraton, as miserable as they all are, even envy their relationship because its so obvious that neither are playing with a full deck and aren't truly living up to the ideal nuclear family.

I can’t believe you forgot to mention during the camping trip with a drunk father, he simply utters “I hate you, dad.” Finally not just backtalking but accepting that he doesn’t blindly love his family anymore, in fact, the opposite, and he’s not afraid to say it. Also coach telling Orel that his dad did one good thing, make him, finally giving Orel his own internal self worth, not external from the church or his family.

His love for us is as a fellow man allowing him to also have empathy for us. God isn't human, his love is more like the love a person has for something they created.

I wouldn’t call Nurse Bendy delusional. She is coping via age regression. She knows the stuffed animals aren’t actually people, she is attached to them because they comfort her. She functions as an adult outside of her house, but clearly it takes a lot of emotional effort and she needs a way to de-stress and process in an environment she finds safe.

Also I love Mrs. Secondopinionson’s voice. I’m a trans man and I have a higher voice than I want. When I’m trying to make a good impression I deepen my voice via lowering my larynx, for the same reason she pinches her nose. Not all trans women have a high voice, estrogen actually has little to no effect on your vocal cords, so her voice would make sense in the context of an overstressed trans woman who doesn’t have the time or energy to voice train.

Something I want to add is how the storylines themselves also represent Orel's loss of innocence. In the beginning, a lot of the episodes are super outlandish events that would probably be made up by a little kid. They're probably Orel exaggerating real events, hence the 0 consequences. Before Orel loses his innocence, the worst horror he can imagine is a zombie apocalypse. But by the camping trip, when he has lost all his innocence, the plots have become much more grounded in reality and Orel realizes that the worst horror is actually real life.

Its sad, but also wholesome that Orel has his family framed on the wall. Despite all the abuse and neglect he dealt with throughout his childhood, he still honors them with a photo. Even Block And Shapey get their pictures on the wall. Block, even though not biologically related, is still considered a brother to Orel. One could argue that it was Christine that hung it up, but I like thinking it was Orel since we don't see Christine's parents present.

I have a theory that Christina's life was, for the most part, Orel's life but instead, her abuse and revelations came from her mother and not her father. Perhaps her father was too overwhelmed with work and, growing up in a Christian household turned Jewish (Don't ask lol), I know from experience that it's always the mothers that are expected to tend to the daughters because daughters are "emotional", "unreasonable" and "overreactive". Therefore, I imagine Christina would be either brushed off or chastised when she'd have an opinion or call the town/her parents out. Maybe she got into mischief like Orel did at some point too and would get cleaning as a punishment, rather than spankings. Also, maybe, there was a parallel to the camping trip like a "Girl's night" or something under that umbrella of gender stereotypes where Christina had a similar experience with her mom. This is all speculation though, but I have thought about it quite a lot.

The scene of clay saying I love you to the coach but still being unable to say it to HIM (by saying “I love you… Orel”) and the coach immediately losing any semblance of hope for clay in his eyes breaks me. Clay is a horrible disgusting person, but the coach was the one non-destructive force in his life and seeing clay’s acceptance of losing that as he enters his house with his wife he hates and kids he feels nothing for is really heartbreaking. It really is showing the karmic force of the show, saying clay was not worthy of this last little bit of happiness he had.

Something about Morels dog that really hit me was that his death is supposed to represent how the romans executed Jesus. He did nothing but spread love and even “cured the sick” (the girl in the wheelchair). His popularity and message of love made the adults (roman’s) angry because he posed a threat. Which is the exact reasons why Jesus in the bible was executed. So the same people who make their lives revolve around Jesus and being holy became the ones who killed him, metaphorically.

The mountain goats "no children" is obviously a extremely depressing song of a awful relationship where no love remains, but one lyric "Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises We're pretty sure they're all wrong" seems to imply that this couple agrees on one thing, and no one agrees with them. I always interpreted it as the couple is so similar that that they can't help but hate each other because they hate themselves, and can't bare to be stuck with themselves in a way. Sort of a twist on "opposites attract", and that fits in nicely with moral oral parents i think

The scene where Reverend Putty just sits in the pew and actually listens to Orel is extremely powerful imagery.

I think this is really what elevates this series. It can be easy to dismiss it as "Christianity Bad" as was a popular view of the era, but a close analysis pokes holes in that assessment. Orel's faith - the genuine faith and connection he has with religion, even as the institutions around that are warped by people's biases - is a consistently good thing in his life. It's the people around him that interpret things however suits them and to entrench their own biases that is portrayed as really harmful. And we see genuine growth from him, much of which emerged from his devout belief, be stifled over and over by people who would bend that positive thing to their own values. The biggest example is when he gets an epiphany about the nature of the divine, and then his father beats it out of him until what is left is the church. But equally, how this religious town kills a dog that is the reincarnation of jesus for being too loving, and the like. It would be very, very easy for a show like this to be "Christianity is a terrible institution and god sucks." But it doesn't go for that low-hanging fruit, and takes a more nuanced take about religion instead.

Trust me when I say that Christians and anyone who belongs to literally any other religion aren't mindless drones just following whatever their church leaders say.

The layers of complexity of a man who’s been shown to be uncaring and slowly falling apart, finally break and show how valuable he truly is. In his moment of need, he wanted an out. He wanted to move away from this life he never wanted. He saw coach stop frame as that perfect way out. But it was already too late. Frame was tired of waiting and getting moved to the side all the time. Tired of not getting a real answer from the man, and finally, once he did get it, it didn’t even feel that satisfying to him. He knew he was just emotional. He knew it was too late.

And I honestly think the phonecall voice gag is cute and even kinda relatable. In certain social situations I find myself pitching up my voice too. And yeah, I can definitely see how Miss Secondopinionson's "masculine" voice and the phonecall bit can read as kind of tone deaf, especially by today's standards. But at the same time, she's still a well developed character who's a kind, nurturing soul to her little brother, and aside from Stephanie is one of the VERY few adults in Moralton who could be considered well adjusted. If she's canonically trans, she's one of the very few examples of trans representation in mainstream media that's done with any sort of taste and not as a punching bag.

As a cis gay male I most likely cannot relate to your struggle at all, but I always found it insulting to trans people when others will disparage deep voiced trans characters. I can't imagine how painful it must be to be a trans women with a deep voice, and every time you get a smidge of representation in anything, everyone is calling it "insensitive" and "hurtful" to potray trans people like that. That your deep voice is nothing more than an offensive joke, and that your existence as a trans person is invalid because you're not feminine enough. Maybe I'm completely off base here, but that's how I see it from the perspective on an outsider looking in.

I'm trans and honestly I was more bothered by the reaction of the video essay then the joke itself. It's real. It's a struggle. Everyone in the show is facing real problems and issues, sometimes comedic and sometimes very much not. Stuff like that shouldn't be off limits imo, and seeing a trans girl be 'right' in every way except their voice feels more humanizing and empathetic then making a trans character with no struggles to pass or appear feminine.

The show did a pretty good job of portraying both Bloberta and Clay as both villain and victim. Bloberta was failing at her societal duty and therefore became manipulative and Machiavellian and a pretty damn neglectful mother, Clay is in an unhappy marriage but chooses to drink and abuse his child and is a deeply violent and abusive person, and eventually almost kills his own son, they’re both completely garbage people who know they’re garbage but don’t actually want to change

The toxic dynamic they share is also the product of a larger vicious cycle. Bloberta wouldn't have sabotaged clay if the local culture didnt place women's value and purpose into being a wife and mother and treat women who were one or neither as less than. Bloberta was more or less using a toxic version of self preservation to prevent herself from becoming a victim of unjust social isolation. The culture of moralton is eat or be eaten. The only way to live up to expectations and attain social approval is to be selfish and to prey on someone else for your survival /purposes, no matter how understandable or unnecessary they may be. Selfless people gain nothing but mockery and isolation. Thats what archaic social expectations push people to become and treat others like. In that sense religion is less relevant on the whole and is used more like a backdrop than as the forefront to every interaction. Though, archaic traditions can only live on if people keep them alive. If the people of moralton thought of people as more important than traditions, then the culture wouldn't have produced individuals who are willing to sacrifice others on an alter of conformity, fear of reprisal, and social acceptance, etc . A toxic culture normalizes, encourages, and produces toxic individuals, toxic actions, and toxic dynamics. And those things are necessary in order for the toxic culture to survive. Thats why its necessary for orel to break the cycle of toxicity that produced all the wrong he saw growing up in order to not become a victim of the predators or become the predator himself, like many of the townspeople of morelton have, and with his beliefs intact to boot. Thats even in the face of being shot by his alcoholic abusive father. And that takes a lot of strength to do. Many people in moralton were not able to do it and lives were ruined as a result. Which really testifies to orel's charector and the depths of his beliefs due to ultimately being abel to escape the fate of moralton's residents.

@@bumblerbree Nah, no one is born evil, we are born blank slates, and it's the environment we grow up in and the people we grow up around that influence us to become the people we are as adults. Clay could have been a good person, but the trauma he went through and how his father treated him after his mother died definitely played a hand in how he turned out. Clay also lacked the self awareness that Orel has, as Orel was able to become more self aware and acknowledge how fucked up everything was. But Orel also had a few people in his life who were genuinely good influences who were able to help him, that Clay did not have. Trauma definitely doesnt make you a bad person, that's not what im saying at all, but it's how that trauma was handled not just by Clay as an adult, but also by his parents/father after the trauma happened that twisted Clay into what he is now. The way his father treated him shaped many of Clay's integral views on love and how it's shown and reciprocated, which of course affected his relationships with his kids and the other adults around him.

In the episode alone, there is this heartbreaking scen with nurse bendy. She goes to clean something up and the bear falls on her behind. She gets really upset and starts sobbing "not you, you can't!" over and over. It's so awful because it implies quite heavily that she not only lost her children to her baby daddy, she was also being abused by him. In my opinion it recontextualises her scene with all of the men in the show. After trauma from abuse some people become hypersexual which would explain why she has relations with certain men despite disliking him. Although it being the reason the show got cancelled, I think that it's one of the best episodes. It's heartbreaking and brilliant

Orel was attaching too much of his self-worth and spirituality to a physical building (the church), when in reality he doesn’t need to. Buddha wasn’t trying to convert Orel, just telling him that his relationship with God is whatever he wants it to be, and it’s not dependent on outside physical forces.

The POV scene where Clay walks to his room in “Numb” is, I think, one of if not the most disturbing, bitter, and tragic scenes in television history, especially when he stops for a moment at a family picture. The nonexistent facade of a happy family that has now fully crumbled. You can’t help but feel sorry for everyone, including Clay. I saw a few episodes with my mom but she stopped watching because Clay reminded her too much of her dad, who thankfully got clean in his later years. It was also one of the last shows I watched with my Dad before he died, so it has kind of a soft spot for me.

Most victims of rape remain silent about it and do their best to proceed with a “normal” life and a lot of people never even find out. You can’t look at a person and be like “yup, they’ve been through something” so I think that’s sort of what happens with nurse bendy which is the complete opposite of the school teacher whom’s abuse was publicized and thoroughly talked about.

The ending scene of the final episode also has photos hung on the wall, them being: - A red haired firefighter, presumably Blocky, posing with pride. Next to that photo is of a blonde law enforcement officer also posing with pride, presumably Shapey. They're both in professions that require heavy discipline and maturity, something they never had as children. It's clear that the two have moved on and developed well some point in the future, but it also displays what they both live for. After Shapey being heavily neglected as a child and Blocky being abandoned by his family, they both presumably felt helpess and vulnerable as kids and what better way to help other vulnerable people than to enter professions that both exist for the sole purpose of rescuing and protecting others? - We also see a photo of Bloberta and Clay next to the cross. Despite all the trauma Orel was forced to endure by the hands of his parents, he still has enough love to display them in his house. We all know how good of a person he truly is, so it makes wonder if, despite them being... them, he hopes that one day they'll change and be loving parental figures even though we all know that they won't change

The writers did have plans for both Florence and Officer Papermouth. Florence was supposed to lose some weight and become more attractive and still flirts with Rev Putty. Putty at first wouldn’t be interested but eventually she wins him over and they develop a loving relationship. Bloberta would eventually start an affair with Papermouth and she would be genuinely happy for once. Miss Censordoll and Clay were to start having affair together and she secretly manipulates Clay in how Moralton is being run and eventually takes control. Censordoll essentially becomes the puppet master of the Town.

43:10 I'm going off the context in this video, but this dialogue is actually kinda brilliant, as I'm assuming he's describing both his relationship to his wife and alcoholism in a double meaning, two things he believes should cater to him but also harm him, but only because of his own toxicity. if that makes sense

I'm both christian and catholic and ngl this is a very special type of show that shows the deep dark side of religious folk Because it is a huge yikes. Since most church are like "beer is bad" "luxury clothes is a sin" "not giving donations to the church (aka money) is a sin" etc etc. The deeper it goes, the dark it is ya know.

There's a difference between "worst character" as in worst written and the most hatable. He is the most morally rerprehensible character in the show, therefore he is the worst character. Like how you would call someone you don't like "The worst" in real life. You can see the distinction very obviously in the Breaking Bad fandom. Skylar is far from the worst written character in the show, but that didn't stop people from hating her so much they sent her actress death and rape threats.

As someone who saw the series premiere back in 2005, I honestly thought it was just a one off Adult Swim Christmas short. The network was chaotic like that. So when I found out it was a series and watched it, It didn't take the enjoyment out. This series played at 1 or 2 am so you are in a twilight stage of being either half awake or under the influence of something. So the out of order airing was the vibe.

If I may offer an alternative interpretation of the Figurelli segregation episode.... I think it speaks to the show's themes of how moral rigidity coupled with religious fundamentalism cause undue suffering even onto the ones who propagate it. The town was so willing to segregate the one minority family in town to appeal to some sense of traditionalist order that it inadvertently ends up backfiring by allowing the Figurellis to receive additional privileges in the town, while peoples' resentment of them continued to grow. People began to hate them for their perceived privileges, but it was the people who hated them that allowed those privileges to take root in the first place. Despite the town people suffering from the segregation they all collectively imposed on their minority population, they continue to do it and then act like it's the fault of the one family they're excluding. They are causing their own suffering by being segregationist bigots when they don't have to be.

The line "Oh he doesn't change that's just his true nature showing up" is so interesting to me. We see later that she encourages Clay to drink bc her father drinks, and that she does think it's the only way to be authentic. She even says this line with endearment. And yet, you can see how if the tone had been different, if there had been any comfort after it, it could be seen as what it sounds like to oral, almost a warning or a threat. It is a very clever and relatable line. So easy to take out of context or tone and all of the interpretation are correct

I'm not bothered, I get these comments a lot, but it's frankly disturbing and more of a comment on what kind of a person you are.
