“How South Park saves the Hero”.
By Guillermo Batiz.
Just finished watching the latest installment in to the South Park Saga that’s been going on for more than a decade with now 13 seasons, giving the series a most awesome position in history, it is now a bi generational role model, like a Simpsons or even a on and off and on Family Guy or a cast and/or location series, but with a clear and strong growth in it’s creators mind, philosophy, credo, animation technics, sociology, political values, creativity and everlasting laughter, why ever lasting? because it make you remember the time you first watch it and it just clear your mind and put your spirit at ease, just gave you a second breath to go on with you life or some times just literally taking your breath away because the joke just got you by the guts and it wont let go and you just want to breath and you can’t because the scene is just to fudging funny and then you just calm down whip the tears away and jiggle and say something like “I loooooove Randy!! Idiot! HahahHa aha! Rewind it”. Anyways, the thing about this is the message, the message can be told in so many ways, the thing is who gets it and with South Park is beyond just a comedy series that’s been around and it’s just a cartoon with kids saying bad words and doing crazy things and talking like adults and outrageous characters, that’s way past Trey and Matt’s image of life, S.P. has officially evolved, and why is that? Because the creators of the series have evolved themselfs. This two gentlemen, have shown me how I’ve grown my self, by doing so and know by myself that the universe inside South Park started to make certain relevance in different contexts either than comedic purposes, like the ones mention earlier, and right there I felt the stepping stones and hidden agendas behind those creative minds developing the surroundings and mishaves of two young boys whom are best friends discovering how life works and one antagonistic yet relevant counterpart of a big boned true American fascist genius at work little boy that is their friend Eric Cartman. Sounds good for a REAL life situation to me, not saying that Stan and Kyle are Trey and Matt and Eric is their little devil counterpart persona, but there I said it anyways (I’m laughing as I write this), it’s just that those little kids are their Ego messengers, their way to understand life as well and shows how their week went, like letting your best buds to come in and have a nice evening together with out becoming a gay scene or a lame play date, more of a “dude how your week go?” “Good, all right, did a lot, figured out this and that and finally got to finished the thing I wanted the other time, check this out” “Yes, please do, La la lala la”(Hahahaha, in my head, it looked and sounded very very very funny and was interpreted by Trey and Matt in a “Baseketball” mood between them).
