So it was better than part 1, but part 1 put the bar pretty low so take that as you will.. I just finished the streaming wars part 2 and I'm gonna be honest, I got that emotional happy feeling when randy went back to normal. Like when you feel like you could cry, except not physically like you're not gonna start weeping and tearing up or anything but in your chest it's all like genuinely happy? Maybe I'm just blinded by that feeling, but I was genuinely fine with everything else in the show when Randy was back to normal. It was all good. Hell, i thought this special was really good actually!
Then he brought back the Karen and weed stuff and even though I knew it was gonna happen cause I read spoilers, I was still just so disappointed.
I hope this was just for the special and that Randy really does go back to normal at least somewhat. Otherwise it was alright. It was fun to watch through once, but similar to the vaccination specials and other tegridy weed episodes, it's not something I can see myself ever rewatching. Like not even a second time through.
To be honest, the only specials I've liked so far were the PostCovid ones. Those kicked ass!
While I'm here, another issue with this special, and just the episodes and show right now is just the lack of usual characters.
In this Streamijg Wars special, Nobody from CATG (except Tolkien) even made an appearance, none of the girls either, barely any of the kids, Kyle was there for maybe 30 seconds total before never appearing again, and Kenny was just gone completely.
I also noticed that the characters that the show does focus on are mostly voiced by Trey. Is Matt even working on the show outside of the business department? I feel like you could at least try and convince him to come in and do voice acting for an episode/special since he's the co-creator of the show who voices half the cast and all. Can he just not be F'd to participate, or is this someone else's decision to exclude him? I love Trey as much as the next guy but he's making things worse for the show and himself by taking it all on his own. The show kinda needs that balance. It's not like im hating, cause I love South Park and have for a long time. I just know I couldn't personally handle pumping out specials like that physically or emotionally, I'd lose creativity too. But I'm not a millionaire. You guys on the other hand can afford to suck it up and better yourselves and get your shiz together. I know life is hard but you have the ability to make things a little better, and as stupid as it may sound, you need to stop being surrounding yourself by yes-men and just let loose again.
