If you have to ask you'll never know.
>>81878721
it's just weird episode dude.
i mean i have my thoughts on it, but i'm just afraid that what i think of what it means is completely wrong
>>81878839
You do realize any work of fiction can be interpenetrated differently.
>>81878705
Capitalism vs communism?
Also some other deep shit. This was actually a great finale
>>81878705
It was an anti-communism that didn't work because they never showed any negative aspects to life under the gnome.
>>81878914
i just think that the gnome, even though he made the world good and free of crime and all, he was just bad because he made everyone his sheep and pretty much did take over the world.
>>81878914
Did you pull that out of a High-School yearbook or something? Yeesh.
Next you'll say something like "all art is subjective man"
>>81879178
That's why the girls get back their power, since there is still evil in the world (The gnome)the deal is off
>>81879178
Pretty much. It's the old disscussion of whether you should sacrifice your individuality and freedom for security. The professor is literally calling people cattle.

They hired Liberty Prime as a guest writer.
All things given, this is surprisingly good coming from a literal war machine.
>>81878705
That episode is awful
It had potential but needed extensive rewrites and fine tuning
>>81879176
Well, we never see where the gnome "send" the bad guys, also we see the gnome living as a king, ruling over the citizens who became midless sheeps
Wasn't this episode banned in the US?
>>81878705
Taking away the evil in the world also takes away free will.
taking away free will is an evil act.
see the problem?

Never aired.
Shame, because I think I would have liked this episode as a kid.
Er, this is a pretty point-by-point parody of Tommy by The Who, right?
it was actually written as a critique of the patriot act
yeah...its extremely ham fisted
>>81878914
>interpenetrated
Freud.. is that you?
>>81878705
Allegory of the cave
>>81878705
It was an episode about the security vs. freedom debate. It's a bit of a heavy topic for 5 to 12ers.
>>81878705
>5 american colonies
>7 united states
What kind of fucked up version of america does PPG take place in?

Wait... So which is it? I was just going by what Mr. Enter said. Cringe or not, he usually does his research.

>expecting a well drawn flag from a show that can't even do shading
>>81888359
They don't even know how to draw fingers lol, and backgrounds aren't realistic at all, the art is shit
>>81889497
Fucking thank you, I'm glad someone agrees.
>>81889591
You're f*cking right brother. Simplistic art styled are inherently bad, anyone who disagrees is a closed-minded philistine that hates variety.
>>81888281
Kinda both, maybe the focus of the episode is Communism vs Capitalism. But they show you an example of communism as a dictatorship where you have to give up your freedoms so you can have "peace on the streets"

Looking at the state of animation, you're so right.
