Each cartoon character lives in the worst episode of time, what did we do?

The continuity of the cartoon is a volatile monster that serves existential awe than you think. In serial performances such as Bojack HorsemanThe narrow comes directly from his continuous story. Cross caricatures are withdrawn from a completely different horror: the unintended time loop cannot escape their characters. The episodes accumulate, pass years, and although the character may range between the ages of one or two years at most, they recover the same impulses over and over again, and live in her distorted version of her The day of the Earth’s rat.

When you hunt the long staring at the character, it turns into a hidden view of a thousand yards, it is not only. This is the faint awareness of the cardboard time that you press, and they are in depths that they know will never escape.

13 seasons, 2 years of continuity, and 7 special offers on Christmas do not add up

Take King of the hill 13 season season. Bobby Hill started at the age of 11. When the show concluded, he was 13 years old. Two years of aging spread over more than a decade of live experiences. During this period, the show was distinguished by seven special shows at Christmas and five Thanksgiving episodes, each adding the collective memory of his characters.

The problem of the cartoon episode is that these experiences accumulate, whether the exhibition recognizes this or not. Bill Dorik, for example, drown in depression every vacation season. Everyone is tired of helping him because he is unable to help himself, but through the law of the series this should only happen twice. Instead, the episode has actors who pass by almost the same frustrations in a row, and you can feel their unconscious awareness that something is very wrong.

The Simpson family is rewriting Helscape

If you need more evidence that animation characters are stuck in a time ring, see Simpson family. Homer and Marj 38 and 36 were two decades. In the early years, the memories of the past laid their adolescence in the 1970s, which followed with the first show of 1989. However, by the nineteenth season, the continuity bent to the cartoon episode with the “1990s”, which rewrites their history until they grew up in the nineties instead.

Now heading to its thirty -seventh season, fatigue cannot be denied. Julie Cavnerr, 75, is 36 years old. Her performance seems to be dilapidated, as if the animation time has affected the characters not only on the characters but on the people who depict them.

There is no escape

The serial cartoons may avoid this trap, but for most, the cartoon ring is an existential nightmare without a way out. With our age, faded due to our deaths, we will continue to see the characters who have never been bigger, despite decades of living experience that was crammed into their texts.

They will remain trapped forever, and they shave to death at the end. What did we do?
