No one pushed you to be better.

Written at the end of July at forty degrees.

Many people say that Ma Nan is a depressive drama that is easy to watch and cry. After watching the two seasons, I found that every "depressing" line in it has stimulated the lacrimal glands to the point, and then the scene changes in the drama. I don't remember who was still feeling distressed just now.
The only point where the tears broke was at the end of the second season of Ma Nan filming the crying scene, BoJack said that I never cry in front of others. The female director told him that your brother died, and it was all your fault. At this moment, Jiao Ma stopped running. You felt that something was broken in your heart, and it would never get better. Then none of us saw BoJack's expression at that time. After a few seconds of silence, the female director said we got it.
After filming, he walked out of the building and BoJack burst into tears.

-Women about BoJack
Caroline is Habit, Diane is Understanding, Wanda is an ordinary woman who loves him, Charlotte is his haven.

[Caroline]
It may be that Caroline is always too strong in the play as if she won't get hurt, but she has no feelings for this character. BoJack's feelings for her should be habit, accustomed to her being in charge of everything, accustomed to letting her clean up the mess, accustomed that even if she leaves her, she will only scold a few words and then correct her identity and continue to make appointments for BoJack. sad. So seeing Caroline's later object, BoJack, just felt that Caroline might have to give her energy to others and felt a little lost.
Undoubtedly, Caroline loved him, but BoJack did not admit this love, he said to Caroline, "I don't love you, you don't love me, we are just two lonely people, want to hate ourselves less Just a little bit." He selectively ignores Caroline's feelings for him, which is the saddest thing about Caroline.

【Diane】
In the first season, I have always been optimistic about this pair of CPs. I feel that BoJack has done so much for Diane that they should be a pair. But think about it, why BoJack fell in love with Diane was only because he met someone he could talk to. The experiences of childhood, the mistakes of young people, things that have not been told to others, as well as their own failures, boredom and self-pity, can all be told to Diane without reservation. So he trusted him, gave her his heart, felt relieved, felt that someone had accepted his imperfection, and felt that he had met a "solution". But for Diane, the reason why she could listen patiently without criticizing and accusing what he did was because she was an objective recorder, it was just her job.
Every lonely person feels the need for someone who understands them. Understand their silence, understand their meanness, constantly seek understanding from others, and forget that those around you also need to be loved.
Diane knew him, BoJack didn't, and he liked her in large part because she was a listener to his bad stories and a good person. God knows how much BoJack wants to be a good guy! In his mind, a good person means that everything he does has meaning, is popular, and is liked by others, and BoJack wants others to like and accept him.
Diane's solution is Mr. Peanut Butter. Compared to Diane, Mr. Peanutbutter really has no ambitions, he is a loyal dog who just wants owner, food and love. He didn't understand Diane's ambition to change the world, but in the end, when he found out that Diane had escaped, he didn't expose the lies she had been lying about for months, just told her "I need you to help me find the battery, go home, I love you". In this way, Diane's failures and broken assumptions are gently accepted. You must know that the stronger a person like Diane is
, the easier it is to fall, and how they don't want others to point their noses and say, "See! I've told you!" They just want a hug, and this It's where Mr. Peanut Butter does best. It is also impossible for the poisonous BoJack to do.

【Wanda】
Wanda is gentle and tolerant. She could chat with BoJack until dawn, and when they first met BoJack said, "For the first time in 30 years I want to be better, you make me want to be a better person." Just when we thought When the relationship between the two had been developing for such a long time, BoJack let her go. If there's anyone in this show that I think BoJack really loves so far, it's Wanda. There's a scene where BoJack blurts out to Wanda as he's about to leave the house "okay, I love you." BoJack, Todd, and Wanda are all stunned. Because saying I love you to a woman is a serious thing, it means you want to have a long-term relationship with her. But BoJack immediately changed his words, "No, I don't." It's clear that BoJack's heart is contradictory: he loves Wanda, but he's not sure if she loves him too, so he asks her again and again afterward. He wants a long-term relationship, but is afraid of a long-term relationship. He and Wanda want to be better together because he's afraid that he's not good enough, and that Wanda finds out in a long-term relationship that he's not that good. That's why he finally let Wanda leave.
In order not to be rejected by others, you must reject others first. I would rather lose than be hurt one day.
In the end Wanda said to him, "It's funny that when you look at someone through colored glasses, it's a red flag or a flag." She knew it was dangerous to fall in love with BoJack, and she didn't know BoJack, but she still He fell in love with him without hesitation. How blind is love.

[Charlotte]
In the end, BoJack, exhausted physically and mentally, found Charlotte but found that she already had a family. He was mad, unwilling, if the two of them had been together at the beginning, would there have been a better ending? Charlotte knew him too, she knew he always wanted to be a good guy and didn't want to make mistakes over and over again, but Charlotte told him he couldn't be someone else and couldn't get rid of those BoJack-esque mistakes.



It is said that people who love this show have seen their own bad shortcomings in BoJack to some extent. Generally, the most resonant thing is that they see all the failures and mistakes in their life, but they are never willing or unable to take steps to solve them. that step. Run away from your own wrongdoing and be reluctant to admit it. If you want to follow in the footsteps of other excellent people and become better and better, in the end, you will find that everyone has a mean reversion, and you can only be yourself.

In the end, I failed too many times, and I just hope that someone will give us a big hug and tell us that life will be easier, so you don't stop.

  • Mr. Peanutbutter: Mr. Peanutbutter: The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't the search for meaning; is to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you will be dead.

  • BoJack Horseman: [repeated line, a few episodes] It doesn't matter. Nothing... matters.
