The plot: Cartman’s deeply disturbing dreams portend the end of the life he knows and loves. The adults in South Park are also wrestling with their own life decisions as the advent of AI is turning their world upside down.
The Panderverse special was excellent.
Pros: I liked how they mange their social commentary on multiverses, diverse and pandering in Disney films and A.I. (Artificial Intelligences). This special was very funny. All of the designs for Kathleen Kenndey, The female versions of stan, kyle, eric and Kenny and others looked so good. How they go super raw on issues going in today’s world like Woke pandering, rude culture, job loses and everything else is well done.
Cons: I didn’t enjoy most of the secondary story with Randy, it wasn’t that intriguing to watch and I feel like they missed an opportunity to crap on Marvel Studios a bit more.
