South Park Fans Still Upset About Controversial Cartman Ending

Fans of South Park have continued to discuss and debate the controversial ending of Cartman in the South Park: Post COVID episode, which aired on December 16, 2021, and is now available on Paramount+. Even though three years have passed since its initial airing, this episode is still a hot topic among South Park enthusiasts, with both celebrations and criticisms persisting as they were in 2021.

The episode involves time travel and parallel realities, which can be confusing. It has some wild twists and turns. By the end, we see the main characters as grown-ups. In this mature world, Cartman, who is now homeless, bitter, and an alcoholic, is struggling. His friends, Stan and Kyle, observe him from afar at the episode’s close, indicating their despair over his current state and their belief that there’s no hope for him anymore.

Three years have passed since that groundbreaking South Park episode, and as a die-hard fan, I can’t help but notice the ongoing discussions about it. A clear testament to this is the South Park Reddit community, where not just one, but two of the hottest topics this week revolve around Cartman’s homeless storyline. One post expresses lingering frustration over the character’s fate, while another shares similar dismay, but also voices criticism towards the ending, deeming it an unusual departure from Cartman’s typical persona.

One post commented, ‘Does it appear out of character that homeless Cartman seems strange to me?’ They were contemplating him being homeless because usually, he’s smart with business ventures (such as the Christian rock band and South Park Reality Group). To be honest, they found this ending to be a bit unfair.

Another commenter notes: “I keep finding myself pondering over the thought of Cartman becoming homeless. Despite it being a cartoon, the idea saddens me because I’ve seen him transform for the better and now picture him as a homeless person.

Reflecting on the widespread appeal of these two shared posts, it’s evident that my perspective isn’t unique. In fact, numerous comments resonate strongly with this common feeling.

The comment suggests that a psychopathic and self-centered individual like Cartman will stop at nothing to get what they want, even if it hurts others. Such a personality would likely rise to the highest ranks in any profession they choose.

Discussing South Park: Post COVID’s conclusion being a continuous topic among South Park enthusiasts showcases not only its importance in the ongoing storyline of South Park, but also the intense debates it sparks among some viewers. Specifically, the Cartman becoming homeless finale has certainly been one of the most controversial aspects of recent South Park content.
