Was she enthusiastic in her service or objected to it?

It took it that you were implying that I deliberately can’t or won’t recognize differences between character archetypes and racial stereotypes.

Full disclosure, I’ve watched maybe 10 post-season 10 episodes total, so I’m not sure what Apu has been up to since 1999 or so. But given that the defining characteristic of many Simpsons characters are their jobs (Kent Brockman is a media personality, Hibbert is a doctor, the Sea Captain is a nautical guy) Apu has…

It’s a classic case of “two things.” Just because Apu was likely created for Azaria to do a goofy voice doesn’t mean the show didn’t grow the character in some pretty grounded ways.

“Apu isn’t a character that would come out of, let alone thrive in, the medium as it currently stands”

Everything I mentioned was in an episode that aired during Seasons 1-9, which is technically within the first 31% of the show’s episodes. Also, at the beginning literally other character was a stereotype too—Burns was a generic rich guy, Smithers a generic toady, Skinner a generic authority figure, etc.—so it’s not…

Yeah, I’m not sure if this is a poorly-written review, or if the documentary itself glosses over those aspects.

“little thought has been given to the Apu character beyond the accent, that Apu is his ethnicity (and a blatantly distorted one at that) and that’s it.”

Here’s the simple fact: The Washington Post did journalism the right way, and Jezebel did not.

To be fair, the first season literally established that he died because it didn’t occur to him that he would need some way to breath inside a safe. That’s an admittedly cartoonish level of stupidity, but I don’t feel like the show has gone beyond that since then.

In a way, aren’t we all just actors reciting dialogue?

Because she is in the BAD place. No good clothing choices.

i think we just need time to familiarize ourselves with the characters again like we did in season 1. by putting us in michael’s shoes, yes, the good place does feel a bit like it’s going through the motions of each character as we are taken away from their perspective, but i don’t think this is permanent. the show is…

One negative thing about ‘The Good Place’ (a big negative in my book) is you never loose the sense of *actors reciting dialog*. These aren’t people experiencing a bizarre afterlife, they’re actors playing people experiencing a bizarre afterlife. Its like a painting done up using Lego blocks. No matter how clever and…

I agree with Michael’s redemption is likely only temporary. If the threat of being punished/retired by Shawn wasn’t looming over him, he’d be selling out Team Cockroach in a heartbeat. I think he’s slightly more torn about Janet only because they’ve spent so much time one-on-one. He may be softer towards Eleanor only…

I think the key is, whereas the first season was told from the perspective of the four main characters, this season we’re also seeing more from Michael’s perspective. If it turns out that this is all yet another trick or plot on his part, it will represent something of a cheat on the part of the show’s creators, which…

He is the owner and purveyor of Girls Gone Wild. Do not google at work. He made his money off of exploiting young girls, getting them drunk, having them expose themselves and perform sex acts, then selling the dvds. He’s also a rapist and a tax evader and is currently hiding out in Mexico to avoid charges. When the…

Notice how a person can shit all over black women and steal from us and still be considered a good person? That’s not an accident.

Yet when her husband shits all over black women she stays silent. And when her and her sisters constantly steal shit from black women she stays silent. And she defends Jeffree Star while trying to sell makeup to black women. Blac Chyna is no angel, but look up the racist shit her BFF Jonathan Cheban said about her.…
