Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
So we’ve done season 1 and talked about the major decisions that moved the plot along in the first season. And these videos are going to get a little longer as the show goes on because the subject matter also gets heavier. And some of the decisions that are made hit really close to home for me because I am also someone who has struggled with my mental health for quite a while now. And I think I’m going to do BoJack Horseman in congruence with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend because I do see a lot of parallels that I want to talk about. So with that, season 2 of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

BoJack Horseman
The second season begins with a young BoJack watching Secretariat's interview while his parents scream at each other. The first day of filming doesn’t go as planned and really the amount of layers to this is amazing, there is the fact that he was a comedy sitcom star and maybe that mean he really isn’t a good actor, then there's the fact that he’s trying so hard to be a changed man and therefore he can’t go to the place he needs to go emotionally in order to play this part.

Naturally, I got curious as hell and tracked down the source to get the full context and while I can see how their interpretation of One Piece has a lot of political themes, the thing that interested me the most was how one of them said that it was the author’s intention of making it this political. So, in this article, let’s explore whether or not if One Piece is intentional super deep and political or if people are taking it way out of context.

Super Santa: an hero we deserve
When you think of superheroes, the image that comes to mind is probably a muscular man in a skin-tight suit with a cape flowing behind them as they soar through the sky. But what if I told you that there was a superhero who didn't quite fit that mold? What if I told you that there was a hero who was a fat old man wearing a blue Santa Claus costume? That's right, I'm talking about Super Santa, the star of Stefano Labbia's graphic novel of the same name!
