Is it Shiela? Sharon? The Denver Broncos?

In Season 3, episode 16 called “ Are You There God? It’s Me, Jesus. At a proximity 2:02 you will see the New York City and two twin towers on fire and a helicopter going towards it? The episode was made in 1999 years before 9/11 happened. Very strange go back and watch it and tell me what you think!

I noticed that Clyde is the most generic out of the secondary fourth graders with him mostly being an blank slate that’s just there to provide the generic line or two and the only things that make him more distinct from the other kids is being a wimpy crybaby and being slightly dumb sometimes. I also feel like Clyde‘s characterization is just inconsistent with him going back and forth from being either dumb to having average intelligence or being Cartman’s sidekick in some of his schemes to outright hating him just as much as the other kids. but I do think the newer seasons is starting to give Clyde more characterization than he ever had before with him almost always being portrayed as an shallow douchebag which is nice to see

I feel like Cartman's been castrated over the course of the show. His schemes aren't as intense as they used to be, he wins even less and the wins he does get aren't that cool. Outside of the whole Heidi arc and getting Kyle sent to ICE, nothing he does is that messed up.

A good example of what I mean would be him in TMI vs him in Mexican Joker. In the former, he gets away with making his therapist's wife kill herself. Sure, he loses at the end of the episode, but he still gets away with indirect murder.
Contrast that to Mexican Joker. The episode opens up with him getting Kyle sent away by ICE, but almost immediately after, Stan calls ICE on him. He gets punished almost immediately after so it lacks impact when he does do messed up stuff.

I feel like we won't have him pulling Scott-Tennorman level stuff again because it'd either blow up in his face before it can be completed or he'd instantly get comeuppance for it so he looks more pathetic and not an actual threat. Butters is more capable of starting shit than he is nowadays.

TLDR; take Cartman off his meds.

A lot of ppl give Kyle shit over letting Stan go in Ass Burgers, but you gotta remember that he tried calling and talking to him repeatedly, and Stan didn’t answer. Besides, Stan’s depressed mood was starting to bum him out. I don’t blame Kyle at all.

He literally told Wendy he tried to call him multiple times and talk to him. He tried taking him to the movies and doing stuff they liked, but Stan was still depressed and nothing worked. Even when he was working with Cartman, he still was happy for him that he was seemingly getting out of his depression and even walked right back to him when Stan said “Kyle, I love you”.

Yet, ppl are so desperate to portray Kyle as a bad friend that they ignore all the context that makes his decision make sense. Kyle IS a good friend to Stan. Would a bad friend call his best friend multiple times to try to talk to him? Would a bad friend try to cheer his friend up by taking him to places where they know they can have fun? No, of course not.

Besides, there are ppl who’ve been in Kyle’s shoes and they say the same thing: It’s hard to deal with and you hardly even know what to do. Add that onto the fact that Kyle is 10 years old, and his decision to let Stan go makes a whole lot more sense.

TL;DR - Kyle didn’t “abandon” Stan, he tried talking to him and cheering him up multiple times and Stan continued to be depressed. Once that started to seriously affect Kyle’s mental state, he decided to let him go to avoid feeling depressed as well. Which is completely understandable.

I think it should focus on The New Kid Helping Call Girl like the casa bonita dlc and the camp dlc. What do you guys think?
