one of the best and boldest animated series that has come from Netflix
undoubtedly is Bojack horseman as hilarious and entertaining as it is
the show also dives into the untouched depths of many real-world experiences
Bojack has highlighted many hot-button themes including addiction existential
crisis politics and all sorts of other stuff with a lot of sly humor this edgy
show is unusually realistic so much so that it's a bit scary what's even
scarier is how dedicated the show's fans have been to coming up with all sorts of
dark and creepy theories I'm Brad with wicked bench and these are dark theories
about Bojack horseman that will make you question life really you've never heard
of my TV show the main cast represent the stages of grief there is more to
life than just existing our mind is a phenomenal organ and lets us perceive
all sorts of different feelings from happiness to sorrow just in case you
didn't know a psychiatrist named Elisabeth kubler-ross put forth the
theory of the five stages of grief they are denial anger bargaining
depression and acceptance and you're probably thinking how does it relate to
Bojack horseman am i right oh I'm telepathic I just read your mind oh wait
it was just our title card never mind don't have powers I'm useless
okay so reddit user hoodie sleeve suggests that the main characters of
Bojack horseman represent these five stages of grief describing mr. peanut
butter as denial miss Diane as anger Princess Carolyne as bargaining Bojack
definitely as depression and Todd as acceptance this theory perfectly
explains the nature of these characters let's analyze one by one shall we mr.
peanut butter has been through serious life events which he has ignored
conveniently time for talk is over for example he never addresses the
seriousness of his brother's illness even when Diane tells him about it
what's weirder is he seems to adamantly believe that his parents are happily
living in the farm away from the city when my mom got old she moved to a farm
right out in the country and so finally in season 5 he realizes that they've
actually been dead for years mr. peanut butter really can accept
these negative like events oh my god she's dead my mom
is dead slight hints of anger are seen in Diane Winne her childhood may have
fueled her need of proving herself and made her a bit aggressive why would you
want to stick around be with your family and the time I need come on mom
we often seen her clenching her fists and getting frustrated because of other
people not really listening to her she may not Hulk out but she does feel the
rage running through her veins Princess Carolyne is the most obvious of all as
the manifestation of bargaining she immerses herself in her work completely
please even see making and breaking promises to herself you even noticed her
trying to grip Sadie Walt opting her baby I wish my boyfriend would have
taken his penis out of the girl the fourth phase that is depression is
unequivocally the main character of the story Oh jack
all the scenes where he wakes up in Crohn's reflects the dejection he feels
inside now coming to an end acceptance is Todd he's mostly positive
about whatever stands in his way even if that means giving away his entire
fortune by mistake he never frets about anything and is
blissfully innocent about the darker side of life what a vintage tat a
friendlier face work at events that the creators of this series have the exact
five stages in mind while sketching the characters what do you think mr. peanut
butter is manipulating everyone have you ever heard of Occam's razor theory no
well it's a philosophical principle stating that a theory requiring minimum
assumptions is likely to be possible so the simplest explanation almost always
wins did you fix my door that is that move buddy looking at mr. peanut butters
behavior the plainest interpretation is that he is an absolute dunce
but reddit user moral mountain lady puts forward quite an opposite suggestion
instead of being a half-wit mr. peanut butter is overly smart and manipulative
how is it that he always gets what he wants career wise woman wise and messing
with Bojack wise you know I'm saying our first priority is creating a safe space
for women mr. peanut butter always knows what he needs so he does everything
methodically and deliberately and manipulates people for his benefit he
got his first break when he was just roaming around on the sets of Vincent
D'Onofrio show pretending to not know the crew said an audience he
spontaneously started improvising his liveliness was noticed and he was
immediately hired I want your face on billboards you beautiful nonsensical
clown prints he does things that nobody asked him to do and they turn out to be
exactly those things that the person he's doing it for hate it well then
peanut butter sobs over the fact that he's not adored for his grand gestures
take for example Diane's surprise party he always dates women in their 20s and
he is in his 50s though Jack and he are near the same age well one could argue
that younger woman well people in general are easier to manipulate because
they're younger and naive he says that the woman who left him are ruined likely
because they don't listen to him anymore and well how can we forget mr. peanut
butters incidences with Bojack annoying him embarrassing him on live television
getting himself casts on Philbert and stealing bojack's limelight don't sound
like coincidences to me at all what do you think so summing it all mr. peanut
butter is more than just an innocent and a positive person he's super smart and
manipulative Bojack will kill himself while show goes on the series through
all that six seasons have been based on feelings which are relevant in the real
world an explorer's dark truthful and uncomfortable aspects of society and
people it loosely describes the world as a cold and indifferent place where
whatever you think and feel doesn't matter we're not guaranteed to have her
own share of happiness I was gonna but then I remembered that everything is
garbage so why bother doing anything so reddit user Jack dish 11 says that
during the show Bojack will in his life but the show will go on without even
addressing his death as all the significant that's pretty dark also in
one of the episodes saralyn describes her death what's scary
if she died in exactly the same manner in a later part of the series we see
Bojack shouting in his pre Oscar nomination party that there will be
plenty of people around when he kills himself there's gonna be
people around when I kill myself well even in the real world there exist
idioms and phrases which kind of could hint towards this situation ever heard
of beating a dead horse regardless the themes in tone of this show would
definitely be in line with this sort of plot twist but whether or not the
creator's would actually pull the trigger on such a bold decision is
uncertain Bojack cares about hollyhock
butterscotch horseman but Reese's made had an illegitimate daughter who was
revealed to be hollyhock in season 5 an episode called ancient history witnesses
to return a bojack's half-sister and the two of them have little adventures of
their own having found a brother hollyhock is obviously overwhelmed and
happy and when she's about to leave she says she loves him and Bojack never says
anything in return but why I love you reddit user carnage 678 has come up with
an answer Bojack has always been a person who
struggles in keeping close relationships with people he's always been the one to
hurt and lose people in his life because of his destructive nature were lining
back to season 4 in an episode called stupid piece of we see bojack's mine
from within he keeps belittling himself constantly
insulting himself we come to know to what extent Bojack embraces
self-loathing you piece of garbage you're a piece of garbage a real piece
of garbage towards the end of the episode hollyhock ask him but this
little voice inside his head disappears he lies her and says that it does go
away and that is purely because he did not want her to worry more about him
this shows that he does care it goes away right it's just like a dumb teenage
girl thing by not telling hollyhock that he loves her he protected her from
himself if she wouldn't care she wouldn't be hurt by his behavior like
Sarah her penny and Gina Bojack is worried about taking away
hollyhocks innocence if he gets close to her Bojack will read his father's novel
during the show we don't really get to know much about bojack's father
butterscotch horseman albeit we get to know fairly much about his mother in her
familial history we only know that he comes from a blue-collar background and
his mother died when he was quite young because of butterscotches under belt
character reddit user mr. Watkins 83 thinks that
he would be the focal point in the upcoming
seasons you go around the horn the way God intended in season five becomes to
know that butterscotches novel a horse that couldn't be broken did not do well
after getting published his novel wasn't getting reviewed by any newspaper and
was not a huge success as he anticipated his frustration ultimately led to his
death in season five we also come to know that bull jack has never read his
father's novel and Bojack is definitely gonna go to rehab because of his
behavior I mean you would imagine he would get a free time during his rehab
so he will read it and will find a meaning in those words what do I say
when I go in this will help him connect to his father's character his history
and give him a deeper understanding of his behavior this book will serve as a
medium for Bo Jack to bond with his father this novel will be a biographical
fiction obviously since both Bo Jack and butterscotch are shown to be very
concerned about what other people in society would think of them the main
character in the novel will be depicted in the best possible light but
irrespective of what they want because of their nature the main character will
also be deeply flawed all this will definitely be reflected in the book
Bojack will then be so moved by those writings that he would contact as
Hollywood Ganga convinced them to create a film adaptation out of it and short
Bojack will read his father's novel and Rehab and turn it into a movie
