At that time, a lot of people watching the barrage were saying that they thought Bojack was a scumbag, probably because they didn't understand the plot.
But it really is a complete asshole.
Jesus, but we need assholes like this.
The family of origin makes it sensitive, feels worthless, cares about other people's opinions, and follows it like a shadow; entering Hollywood makes it shine and do whatever it wants, but it also makes it fall into a pool of asphalt. When he is down, when he lives in the shadows, he wants to be a celebrity, he wants to be recognized, and he wants to be a man who lives in the sun; when he really lives in the sun, when he bathes in the sun, it will It finds that there are not so many shadows left to itself, to live its own life; so it indulges itself and becomes a do-it-yourself bastard, but when it is alone in the shadows, it wants to be a good man.
It is inferior and conceited, confident and weak, lonely and egoistic, it can be said to be a complete loser. It is frozen at its peak moment, it wants to live its own life but cannot leave that golden ball trophy, maintain its own "brilliant" coat (i'm trying to hold on to my past) . It longs for someone who can understand and accompany itself, so it doesn't let Todd go, so it makes itself fall in love with Diane, but it never shows that it cares about it. It wants to be a good person, so it supports Todd to chase his dreams, but when Todd is going to leave him, when Diane is going to marry Mr.peanuputter, it is crazy to smash it all, it doesn't want to make everything better , it wants others to just accompany him to live in the shadows, as it said to the PC, "why think about work, just live our own lives".
Bojack has all its flaws, but we still love it, not because it's an asshole, but because it's a part of who we are. To borrow the idea of dream narratives and transparent dreams, we know we are dreaming, our brains are making up those stories, we are just watching those stories, and the protagonists of those stories are ourselves. We construct our appearances in real life, but we are real in a sense in our dreams, and Bojack's fake cloak aside, it's just a poor man who was born right and grew up hard, so when we look at those In the hateful plot, we are also pity the frustrated self.
Bojack can't put down the trophy, Diane chooses to get married, Mr.peanuputter is a good person, Zoe doubts everything, Zelda talks and laughs, everyone is just the sad self in their dreams.
