Been wanting to make this video for a really long time, really ever since I made that first "Why do people even like Bojack" some months back. One thing I always wanted to expand on was how the perspective of our main characters warps how we treat them, and how we treat their so-called "enemies".
It's so interesting to me that the simple way a story is told can have such a great effect on the audience. When Bojack is given so much context, many people identify with him or sympathize with him, wanting him to get better. In real life, we woud never, ever get this context. And there sure as hell wouldn't be people defending everything Bojack did, especially with Penny. But it's not just Bojack, either. PC has a large hand in showing directly how we think our main cast should "win", even when they make mistakes just as the "enemies" do.
Hope you enjoyed this video- there all getting longer, huh? Seems that people prefer the above 30 minute content, so addressing these more broad topics is a lot of fun. I get to yap :)
