In its 20th season, "Southpark" continues their commentary on current political situation while bringing in the laughter. While everyone else is getting busy with their own political correctness and gender war, Eric Cartman is not in his usual self as he deals with the loss of online connection through his new found girlfriend.
Nearly every character has been in the spotlight in the past four episodes of "Southpark" but one character has made a turn for a more serious mood: Eric Cartman. Known for his boisterous and controversial statements, Cartman has practically changed and took a serious turn. Even though he confessed to Kyle that he saw a woman's private area, he spoke about it in a serious tone.
The review of IGN in the latest episode of "Southpark" points to a more subtle and even mature kid. But Cartman is not just someone you could tone down immediately and the writers are most likely setting up something really big for the kid.
Uproxx also reported that the drop about Cartman's real reason for maturity is slow and getting more tense in every episode. But if there's something big in the small town of Colorado, Cartman is most likely part of it. Right now, the biggest story in the season is trolling and the kid could be behind it.
The series is also digging in for more hilarity on Gerald's trolling addiction. As he continues to struggle with his addiction, the ways he has to go through just to cover up his trolling is getting him to awkward situations especially his wife. It's even more harrowing for the kids as Kyle and Ike saw what they do in the bedroom.
The gender war is also taking a turn for the worst as Butters rally all the male kids together for a protest. Butters is also taking a leading role this season and it's particularly entertaining as he persuades all the kids to stand for their right instead of following "Uncle Kyle."
"Southpark" is again pushing the boundaries on their political commentary. Although they did not tackle any election related topics, they certainly did made strides in trolling and gender war.
