    I know it’s satire but I hate when it’s so obvious they’ve seen like 4 episodes before they start riffing. Study the source material and then concoct your satire, don’t just wing it from the back cover…

    Bandit tires, he makes mistakes, he fails miserably at teaching lessons at times and really the only truly unrealistic thing about Bluey as a whole is how fucking great those kids are (Bluey and Bingo.) They’re far to understanding and intuitive and don’t get me started on how they are as siblings with the worst conflicts being just about the mildest stuff ever.

    If anything the show, like 99% of kids shows, has unattainably competent role models. No kid that watches it ever thinks they can be Bluey or Bingo because they’re just as unrealistic and unrelatable as Spider-Man. You can only be them in your fantasy. Being Chili and Bandit is far easier and I think that is why it’s so loved by parents, because it inspires us to do better, to try harder and to push through, like they do.

    We need a kids show about a kid with ADHD and light Autism that tries but fails ever damn time but keeps on grinding. Celebrating the smallest of success.
