Ok, here's my first ramble, it involves the recent hatred of MtG, now I accept opinions, but that doesn't stop me from thinking you have a unreasonable one. Who am I talking about, the ones who hat Making the Grade because if the sinple car scene, that one brief scene with the spa vouchers.

The episode had Lincoln in a bad place till the end regardless, and that's a drawback, but that scene, no, just no. The people against this scene say it's overkill and very mean, but that's the point, its supposed to be over the top, its supposed to be unbelievable, its supposed to be CARTOONISH and CARTOONY, because its a cartoon! Its unreal that anyone would do this, and thats the joke, it is mean, Ill give you that, but its exaggerated, and Making the Grade is an example of it being done well. I didnt like the majority of the episode because it had Lincoln had to choose between two options, and both led to dead ends, not because Lori and Lola theew Lincoln out of the car, its because the outcome of that was inevitable, thats why I didnt care for that part.

Im going to be honest, mean-spritedness is something the show struggles with, and it has been done poorly to the point where its ok to be cautious, episodes Like Making the Case dont have the mean spirited parrs be exaggerated enough, and it fails on that principle, to the point the episode is ruined.

Mean-spiritedness has been done well in episodes like in Making the Grade, and when done well can help the episode shine. And has become an element of the show that has worked out for them on occasion.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but If you want a show to change one of it's core elements that works just because you dont like it, the show isn't for you. As mean as Im coming off, if you don't like episodes because of mean-spiritedness throughout and its poorly executed, thats fine, but loathing an episode because of a mean spirited scene is nonsense. Maybe if there were more to your hatred then that, I'd be like icing on the cake, (AnimationFan15 knows what I'm talking about) but hating it for that sole reason, the show using an element that has worked before, the show is not for you. You can hate those episodes all you want, but the fans who actually see the difference between good mean spirited scenes and bad ones will commonly enjoy these episodes. (Unless like Making the Grade, it has other flaws)

I'm terribly sorry if I ofrend any of you reading this,and if you hate episodes for that reason alone, more power to ya. But theres more to it than that, and sometimes you need to see it's cartoony, and unrealistic, if it is, I probably won't mind it. If not, it all comes down to any saving qualities. Thank you for taking the time to read this, let me know if I should do more rambling, and any topics for me to dicuss in the comments below.
