Season Twenty-One

I began watching the show in 2016, and the first episode I watched was "Member Berries" when it aired live on TV in my motel room. Since then, I didn't skip a single episode. So here I'm gonna rate the seasons I watched live.

My 1st season: Season 20

I think that if it wasn't for the serialization of the show at that time, I would've never really gotten into the show in the first place. I found the first episode to be interesting, so I just kept going watching the show, and I found it fascinating, especially because it used humor to parody the elections and all that. Before watching "The Damned" I decided to learn more about the characters, and I was like, wow then how did Cartman become so defenseless when his devices got mauled? Then I figured, wow he might've matured or something but still gets scapegoated for his past actions which led him to being falsely framed as the infamous troll. I did not expect him to somehow get a girlfriend, but I admit it was a very good accessory to season 20. I think though that the season did rely on the election too much, because I was aware of the plot twist after "Fort Collins". However, I didn't find the ending to the season horrible, and I actually enjoyed it, I believe it's underrated and doesn't get enough credit. As I said, if it wasn't for the serialization, I would've probably never gotten into the show.

My 2nd season: Season 21

By then I knew the background of several characters and all, but it wasn't until mid-season that I decided to binge watch all the past 20-and-a-half seasons to see how far it's come. I was pretty amazed to be honest. To this day there's several remains of season 21, mostly from Phone Destroyer and Fractured but Whole (which I bought as soon as it came out), so it's evident that this may be one of the more iconic S.P. seasons. I personally enjoyed it too, except for the Cartman-Heidi arc, that one relationship - which really had potential mid-season 20 - went down the drain. On one hand, Cartman was more of his old nasty self. On the other hand, it wasn't funny that season, it was just cruel. At least he was pretty funny in the FBW game. Also, who knew this would be the last season of Randy being a fun and enjoyable character? This season brings nostalgia, even though I didn't really like the finale.

My 3rd season: Season 22

The first three episodes are a bit nostalgic since they're from the pre-Tegridy Farms era. After that, the season was a bit of a rollercoaster. We had Al Gore (whom I hated up until "Time to Get Cereal" when it was revealed he was right about MBP), we had ManBearPig causing havoc, and killing off one of the most iconic characters of the show (Satan), which was a bit depressing, especially since his death came a week after his SPPD card was released, we had Randy and his stupid farm (but I admit it helped poke fun at Amazon and Jeff Bezos, which was the sole upside of the arc), and we had the boys getting along very well, which was good. Overall though, I find the season bang average, but the finale was really good. Also, God knows where the hell Cartman's ex Heidi went ever since that season.

My 4th season: Season 23

Despite Randy turning into a complete asswipe that season, I really liked the episode "Band in China" but that was mostly because of Mickey Mouse, not Randy. Mickey really gave a representation of what Disney has become, and the fact that going as far as to sacrifice Winnie the Pooh (good thing he came back to haunt Randy) is something Disney would do if they want to continue production and gain money. My point here is, Randy really fell off. As for the kids, it was nice to see breakout characters like Strong Woman, Nichole and Scott Malkinson, who I think they deserve more screen time. Speaking of which, I really enjoyed "Basic Cable" and the introduction of Sophie. Also, I think that episode was Cartman's best performance since early season 20. Overall, I think this season marked the point of modernity. I would've enjoyed it more had it not been for Randy.

So those are my ratings, what do you guys think?

Okay hang on just a second. So I have been thinking about the episode Doubling Down lately and how Heidi mentions being vegan. Which obviously is fine and seems very in character to me. However......how long has Heidi been vegan? I originally figured forever, or at least practically forever but after watching a few of my favorite episodes I saw two things.

In the episode Assburgers you see Heidi enjoying a " Cartman Burger " ( I literally can't think too much about this, truly disgusting ). However knowing Cartman, I very much doubt that these burgers were vegetarian, let alone vegan. Moving on I decided to start rewatching season twenty and in season twenty we see Cartman and Heidi enjoying a meal at McDonalds ( innocent enough ) but Heidi is seen eating chicken nuggets? Before you bring up the vegan nuggets from McDonalds I would like to point out that season twenty was released in 2016 and all articles I can find regarding these vegan nuggets date 2019.

I know that in the long run this is not that important however I'm really really curious

Oh God, everyone needs to prepare for my longest, most heartfelt essay ever. And by long, I mean ranty. And by heartfelt, I mean angry and profane.

I wish you all luck, and please feel free to give you own views and analysis on this, and what you may agree or disagree on.

Hello friends!

Back when I joined this wonderful community a few months ago, I downloaded Phone Destroyer. Here I am, five months later, ready to give you the HeidiTurnerStan opinion on this game.

It's quite an easy game to start, you play the campaign (single-player levels) to get Cartman Coins and upgrade materials to improve your cards. Then, PVP (online Player-Versus-Player) is introduced. You play against opponents who have a similar amount of wins to yours and when you win, you get points. These points sort players into Arenas, where certain cards are locked. The game is pretty easy until around Arena 6, where you'll need to start adapting to different play-styles and focusing on deck-building. Also, you can join a team after reaching Arena 3, where you can participate in team wars (PVP matches) against other teams for prizes.

At the moment, a few cards are pretty unbalanced and suck the fun out of matches. Some that come to mind are Pocahontas Randy, Mary Jane Randy, and Frontier Bradley, mainly because the Randy cards take long to kill and require a lot of effort to kill. Anyways, you have ranged cards, fighter (melee) cards, tank cards (bulky characters), spell cards, and the barely used tower cards.

Every card has a rarity based on how easily it can be obtained and are as follows: Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. Each card also has up to 7 levels and multiple upgrades in each level.

Here's another frustrating part of the game: the first few upgrades are fine, but depending on the rarity of the card, it could be very difficult to upgrade it. For example, in order for me to level up my Calamity Heidi (a common) to Level 7, I have to upgrade her 25 times, with the required upgrade materials, and coins, all of which steadily increase after each upgrade. After that, I need 3,000 copies of her. To put that into perspective, you can ask teammates for 12 common cards every 6 hours or so. Assuming I didn't get any copies from packs, that means I'd need 62.5 days of asking for cards, the maximum being 48 per day, assuming they even wanted to give me any.

Today, I've decided to take a break from the game because of how annoyed I've become with the matches I've played in the past, how difficult it is to get the cards I want, and how reliant the developers (Redlynx) are on Pay-to-Win players. Also, one Heidi card? Are you kidding me? After two seasons of being a main character, she only gets one card? I'd be okay with this any other time, but this game was released during Season 21, right after "Doubling Down" of all episodes. Red got four cards and she hasn't even had an episode plot revolving around her.

Hello. So I really enjoy the music in this Season 20 clip. Given how short it is and the fact that I can’t find the source f the music, I think this was a brief piece that Matt and Trey made just for this scene. I also really like the similar music they used for various Heidi scenes, such as the starting piano used before her montage in “Doubling Down”. The fact that they make this dramatic brief songs for these scenes (to me) shows that they were trying to make these scenes genuinely emotional, something I appreciate in a show like South Park.

Hey guys, today I bring a few questions.

What is Cupid Cartman/Me? Is Cupid Cartman a real being, or is Cartman so screwed in the head that he made Cupid Cartman up?

Cartman could be playing "mental gymnastics" with himself, especially in "Tweek x Craig", where "Cupid Me" goes out and does things that Cartman very well could have done. But as Kyle says, "people with a messed up ego can do these mental gymnastics to convince themselves they're awesome, when really, they're just douchebags!"

I believe that "Cupid Me" may be a part of Cartman's imagination because "Cupid Me" has been absent ever since "Tweek x Craig". I think that if "Cupid Me" was real and Cartman wanted to maintain his relationship with Heidi, Cupid Cartman probably could've helped out. But in Season 21, Cartman was so obsessed with keeping Heidi in his grasp, he didn't even try to get Cupid Cartman's help.

Maybe I'm just thinking too hard about this, but what are your thoughts? I'm interested in what you guys have to say about this.

Hey guys!

The first full South Park episode I saw was "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" sometime in the late spring of 2017. If only I knew what was going to happen in Season 21. Anyways, what was the first full episode of South Park you watched?

Hey everybody!

As I've been re-watching Seasons 20 and 21, I've been feeling kind of down about Heidi and Cartman's relationship. It's a bummer to see all these terrible things happen to Heidi. I think that it ruined Season 21 for me. I can't stand the way Cartman treats her. As most of you know, the last time I felt this way, I ended up creating this account to talk it out with you guys. The same things that make us laugh could make us cry. This time I decided to write an analysis with my thoughts here and there to better explain to you guys why I felt the way I did. I hope to share it with you guys soon!

Hi guys!

I was recently re-watching the DVD Commentaries and I remembered that Matt and Trey say that they really liked Heidi. I was using this to back up some of my statements and theories in the past, but I don't believe I shared this with anyone here. At about 30:52, in the part about Splatty Tomato, they cover what I mentioned before. So, here's a link to the Season 21 DVD Commentary if you would like to hear it too. Now that I've properly cited this clip, feel free to use it for your Heidi needs.

Have a nice day!

Hey everyone!

Today I bring you a post about the future of my poll series and a brief overview of my thoughts on Seasons 20 and 21 that you will probably hear again in the near future.

I will probably finish this poll series around the end of November, maybe early December. I'll go all the way up to Season 23, and when Season 24 ends I'll make a similar poll series. It's kinda hard to believe that I started this series on July 3rd, 2020. Here I am now, 4 months later with 2,020 discussions posts at the time of writing. I didn't expect the SPA to become such a huge part of my life, but I'm glad it did. Honestly, I'm not sure what I'll do here once I'm done with this series of posts.

As I'm sure everyone here knows, I love Heidi Turner. Therefore, I love Season 20 and hate Season 21. I'll try to keep this short, I think Heidi and Cartman's relationship is the only redeeming quality of Season 20. I hate Season 21 because it's the opposite. If Cartman wasn't such a toxic chonker, I would have loved Season 21. It's heartbreaking to see my favorite character become broken beyond repair, especially after getting so invested in their relationship for a whole season. I don't know how I'll deal with it. Honestly, South Park is a huge part of my life. What happened in these seasons led to me joining and creating my very first post (and possibly one of the biggest discussions on here), "Where is Heidi?".

Anyways, I just wanted to let you know what's going on. If you have any suggestions for a post series, let me know! I hope you have an exquisite day.

season 20 - ok, maybe not everyone, but can most of us agree that season 20 was probably the WORST season of south park? i mean, i thought the plot and storylines of each episode were AWFUL. it was kind of a disappointing season. everything with the danish, the election, gerald trolling was just... i don't know, i just didn't like it.

season 21 - season 21, on the other hand, wasn't actually that bad (although heidi and cartman were having a pretty bad time) but the season was pretty good, despite coming off from a horrible season before it. this season was kinda all over the place with storylines. my favorite episode from this season is sons a witches lol.

season 22 - eh, it's iffy. this is also the year i really started watching south park, so i would watch these episodes all after school. there were some great moments in the season, though, but it was also the start of tegridy farms... i do like the episodes "the scoots", "budda box" and "a boy and a priest" and i actually like the episode "tegridy farms", i just think they went too overboard with the plot.

season 23 - oh boy. it was pretty bad, honestly, but not as bad as season 20... but still pretty bad. an episode that really pissed me off was "season finale", which i REALLY thought things kinda focused off of randy and his stupid farm, and more of things going back to normal. but that never happened. ALTHOUGH, i did like a few episodes: "band in china" and "board girls", but the rest of the episodes were just boring and very predictable. i don't even know HOW they'll follow up season 24 from "christmas snow", but we shall wait and see.

How do you think, theoretically, Cartman and Heidi could still be dating if the relationship between them remained at about the same level as in season 20?

P.S.-I understand that in this case, Eric clearly would not be the Cartman he was before, but at least personally I really liked the dynamics of his relationship with Heidi throughout the entire 20 season. In my opinion, thanks to her and this relationship, he changed much for the better, and this Cartman was to my liking. But it seems that what Butters told him about the girls in SpaceX probably affected Eric, because it was after that that he began to treat her differently and gradually return to his former self. As a result, I was very disappointed to see that from the very start to the very end of season 21, he tried to get rid of her, manipulated, made the same as himself, and just treated her like annoying shit :(
