Revisit BoJack, this time with a deeper feeling

It's a really amazing thing to know and feel, obviously watching the same series, but after a few years, you can see different and more complete things.

In the past, the one who could bring me in the most was BoJack. I knew that he did a lot of stupid things that he couldn't control, but I always felt that he was also very painful and wanted to be a good person. Why couldn't the people around him tolerate the hurt he caused. Herb, in particular, didn't forgive BoJack before he died, giving BoJack a fatal blow.

But now I can basically understand a lot of characters. Let's talk about Todd. Todd and Peanut Butter are actually a kind of people, who may not be smart enough to have a very dull social cognition.

This dullness is a double-edged sword. First of all, BoJack looks down on them because of their "stupidity". BoJack's contempt for Todd is always there, no need for an example. BoJack's disdain for Peanut Butter is actually more obvious in the show. For example, Diane tells Peanut Butter that you don't understand why BoJack never answers your call, and you won't let me call you in order to wait for BoJack's call. Anyone with a little bit of emotional intelligence will understand what BoJack means, but Peanut Butter still looks like a harmless fool.

Speaking of Diane, Diane also looked down on Peanut Butter and Todd, but out of intellectual courtesy, she unconsciously concealed this disdain. But this faint contempt makes her and Todd the least interactive friend on the show. Because they really are two worlds, the only difference between Peanut Butter and Todd is social status. So in Diane's cognitive level, Peanut Butter can be a little better than Todd, but in the end, she and Peanut Butter divorced because of a touch of contempt.

The same dullness also protects them from another angle, making them immune to damage from BoJack. That's why BoJack humiliates Todd like crazy and treats Peanut Butter coldly but they continue to be friends with BoJack as if it's all right.

Let's talk about PC again, this is the character that pierces my heart the most, such a strong person who doesn't allow him to lose control, such a character who should have been loved and loved to dissolve her cold shell, but fell in love with an epic scumbag like BoJack. At this time, it should be accompanied by Shen Teng's emoji package [A sin! ! 】I think it's not without reason that PC fell in love with BoJack. At least BoJack will always come to PC to find warmth when he is injured elsewhere. This short-term dependence will also give a super strong woman like PC a feeling of being needed. . It was this feeling that prompted the final PC to adopt a hedgehog child.

Pc accompanied BoJack from the beginning as a pony, until he was over fifty. In the play, it is also mentioned that the PC is already forty years old. A rough estimate should have been with BoJack for twenty years. In the past 20 years, BoJack has really abused the PC a lot. When he has his own business, he disappears. When he is injured and needs care, he will sweetly coax the PC. The most terrible thing is that the PC is very clear about all of BoJack's urine.

Such intermittent rewards and punishments repeatedly tortured PC's feelings, because too much investment in BoJack, whether it was work or love, made PC unable to easily get out of such a bad relationship. So BoJack promised her to forget everything and go crazy with him once. She believed it. She pushed aside a very important turning point in her work to cater to BoJack. Suddenly, BoJack had his own business and drove away without even giving away the PC. go home! Damn it, I'm so pissed off watching this paragraph, what kind of dog is it not to send a woman home. c! !

And watching BoJack as a PC for 20 years still believes his nonsense, she's stupid, really.

There is also a very distressing scene, that is, the PC was called by BoJack in the middle of the night just to plan to destroy Diane's wedding a year later. I was really distressed at that moment. In desperation, PC wanted to take revenge on BoJack, and made a very stupid move, that is, to date a disguised adult composed of three children, Die Lele, in the bar, delusional to stimulate BoJack. But this scumbag just calmly pointed out that this Vincent is composed of three children, and said that you think this can hurt me? Naive, then turned away and continued to plan to sabotage Diane's wedding.

At that moment, the PC should have been extremely heartbroken. All his life, 20 years of youth was spent on this scumbag, and in the end he couldn't get even a little care. What a despair. Every time I hear the sigh of "eh" from the PC, I feel sorry for her.

A person who doesn't love you is the most impossible thing to change in this world. Some people often say that no one in this world can't live without a person. Those who say this must have never had a hopeless love.

Love is really a tormenting thing. Falling in love with a scumbag is like rolling on the tip of a knife. The obsession, the desire to see him, suppresses it during the day and falls into a dream at night. Ugh. Think of it as the pain that life must go through, the only thing you can do is to enjoy the unavoidable pain.

Diane and BoJack, I believe they are in love, at least there is some kind of spiritual resonance, otherwise BoJack wouldn't have been drunk and sent a bunch of emails revealing himself, drunk and stolen Hollywood's D, despite having a relationship with Peanut Butter The meaning of the game, but also because there is Diane in my heart. Such a selfish person, someone who doesn't care about other people's feelings at all, gives affirmation and support to Diane when she comes home, these two rare things BoJack only gave to Diane and Ma Mei. Countless times he wanted to confess but couldn't open his mouth. In contrast, when BoJack went to the PC for comfort, the love words came. Plotting to sabotage Diane's wedding. After doing a bunch of stupid things, he still wants to get Diane's approval and let Diane say that he is a good person. So there is no doubt that BoJack loves Diane. But not all love is good, BoJack has the heart but not the ability to love.

He is narcissistic and masturbate to his own pictures.

Selfish, in order not to lose control of Todd, use conspiracy to destroy Todd's bright future.

Jealousy, making a lot of useless comparisons with peanut butter, like stealing a D.

With no sense of morals, slept Charlotte's daughter. His daughter Sarah Lynn in the play.

There is no sense of responsibility, I have never thought of being responsible after sleeping on the PC for 20 years, and I can't even give the PC any comfort.

Out of control, addicted to alcohol, drugs, controlled, and even unable to control myself to eat twelve muffins in one go.

Betrayed her who made him popular, and truly loved his herb. Although BoJack is not gay, he still ruined the heart of the herb.

It can be said that the first half of his life was destroyed by his parents, and then his life was destroyed into a kind of inertia, and he himself became his own executioner. Reason told him that he couldn't do this, and instinct led him to the abyss. He was tearing, contradicting, suffering in this huge cognitive dissonance. Not only does he hurt himself, everyone who has a relationship with him will be swallowed by the huge emotional black hole in him.

BoJack's love for Diane was crazy, and when Diane finally wrote BoJack's autobiography, he was furious to the point that BoJack refused to believe it was so real. Another reason for his anger is that when Diane looked at him like this, he was ashamed, angry, unwilling, and Saraline went crazy with drugs and tried to forget, but it was also because of love.

The reason BoJack loves Diane is selfish, simply because Diane is going to write his biography, is his observer, he feels seen and understood. There is an explanation in psychology called the principle of psychological visibility, which is when you are deeply seen and understood by a person, and he understands you the same as you identify with yourself. Then you will fall in love with this person.

In other words, BoJack fell in love with Diane because Diane understood him, which I think is also a narcissistic projection. He didn't love Diane because of what kind of person she was. He loved Diane only because Diane understood him. This kind of love was not what Diane needed.

Is such a person, even if he really loves Diane, what can he do? He can't solve his own problems by himself, and how can he give Diane enough love she needs.

Let's talk about the love between Peanut Butter and Diane. I can't imagine why two people who don't get along like this get together. In episode 11, BoJack broke the key point of the conflict between Peanut Butter and Diane, which is that Diane has a vague sense of intellectual superiority, and Peanut Butter is too stupid to see this.

The love that Peanut Butter gave Diane was not what Diane needed either, and Diane probably needed someone who understood her and understood her deeply. Peanut Butter obviously doesn't see such a deep level, the love he gave Diane and the love he gave to his two ex-wives was almost the same, templated, superficial love, and Peanut Butter couldn't really understand Diane, like any of his. The major events of life are exposed to the camera, life, marriage proposal, marriage. And Diane just wanted to be with him quietly. So their differences are very serious. So Peanut Butter couldn't build deep empathy with Diane.

In fact, Peanut Butter could vaguely sense the incompatibility between herself and Diane. That's why he dreamed that Diane left him, there was no quarrel or tragedy, he just left. And in the dream, Peanut Butter was also secretly relieved. It also foreshadows the ending for Peanut Butter and Diane.

Finally, a message from the proud horse to BoJack is attached, and it also encourages himself.
