Everyone thought that the 8th episode was going to have Ike say "toxic masculinity", but that never came to be. Perhaps they're saving it for the season finale? It would be a cool season finale if it bashed the term, and it would be very relevant too, considering that we're living in a very dark time period where everything is offensive. What do you think?
South Park have many characters that should get more focus and Ike, Kyle’s adopted baby brother, is one of them.
Although he is easily the most well-known of the South Park siblings, he mainly became popular thanks to the shitty "KICK THE BABY" gag, even though this gag almost vanished entirely from the show and Kyle is a much better brother than he was in the first seven seasons, many fans still love this gag and they best remember Ike as the mindless toddler who was the butt of Kyle’s "KICK THE BABY" joke.
But trust me, Ike is a character that have a great potential, he is mostly sweet and innocent, but he has a bratty side and has proven several times to be highly intelligent, his brotherly bond with his older brother Kyle is very cute and adorable in later seasons and he can be brave and heroic when he wants.
I was very disappointed when i heard that Ike wasn’t a knight in South Park: Stick of Truth and was mainly in the game to be punted by Kyle again and in South Park: The Fractured But Whole he barely appears and has little to no lines.
Overall, Ike is a good character and he needs to get more focus.
should Ike still be alive? i mean think about it a bit. he gets kicked into stuff from mailboxes to windows he should be dead (or at least unable to do multiple things) and he gets scolded every time. being a " BAD BABY!" so just like brain damaged horse in family guy, he should have something a bit off about him.
