Cain and Abel, Batman and the Joker, and Jerry Seinfeld and Newman All come to mind when you think of classical competitions across our joint history, but there is one competition that needs to be unpacked that I finally explained. I’m talking about Eric Cartman and Wendy Testaburger of South Park – Two characters on paper hates each other completely, for good reason, and will always find new ways to oppose each other. When you unpack the roots of this decades that are now decades, however, there is a clear fundamental reason why they are consistent in each other’s neck.
Eric Cartman loves Wendy Testaburger, and does not know how to treat his emotions, which can be confirmed with a season 4 episode, “Nanners goes.”
Vigorous romance
Feel sympathy with South Park Eric Cartman is not an easy thing to do because it was a Sociopath textbook that once fed Chili Scott tenorman made of his parents from Earth over a dispute totaling $ 16.42. But under Cartman’s rage is the heart of an 8 -year -old boy who is secretly to Wendy, only to be shot down when his feelings emerge.
In “Chef Goes Nanners,” Cartman and Wendy are forced to work together on a debate about the historical significance of the South Park flag, which means that a hate crime is committed, to the chef’s dissatisfaction, the only person of color other than Tolkien living in the small mountainous town.
Although Cartman and Wendy have always had an opposing relationship from the outset, their dynamic is fully explored in “Chef nanners chef” when they both let them guard down, Cartman makes Wendy laugh, and she holds feelings for him. They also share a bond over their love for “Oreos’ four -sided stuff,” which leads to the two of them reaching for the same cookie, eye locking, and flushing. Trusts her best friend, Bebe, Wendy figure she is experiencing heat-in-moment obsession with Cartman, and that he is the last child in South Park that he should be romantically involved.
From erroneous flirting to unobstructed hatred
At the end of “chef goes nanners,” everything goes back to normal and lessons are taught in the typical South Park Fashion. Cartman, however, teaches the most destructive lesson, that Wendy will never love, he makes clear when he says, “I can’t believe how right Bebe was about feeling under pressure with someone. As soon as it was over, all my feelings disappeared for you. “
On his face, this exchange would be quite innocent if Wendy did not kiss Cartman passionately a few seconds before. Cartman, who never shows emotions in South Park Apart from rabies, and a lack of obvious rabies from time to time, looks really ruined when his feelings are eliminated. Is one of the only sequences in South Park Canon I can remember, Cartman looks really upset over this rejection, and changes it forever.
Broken heart at work
What started once like what I could only assume as a Wendy bullying cartman because he has a squeeze on it becoming one of the most frustrating and saddest circular character arcs that you will never witness South Park.
Throughout the rest of South Park Running, Cartman is unmistakable in pursuing Making Wendy as boring as possible whenever they are seen interacting with each other. From Muckraking Cartman against Wendy in “Dances with Smurfs” to the epic battle between the two in “Breast Cancer Show Ever,” tensions remain highest ever to this day, but I don’t think it comes from a hate place at the end of Cartman.
After seriously attacking him by Wendy during the last title (during fighting he desperately tried to avoid after pushing things too far), it’s easy to think that being beaten mercilessly, in Cartman’s mind, is the only way he can get it to get attention to it, which helps him share his feelings for her the only way he knows how.
