You know, I really thought that the pains of getting older would resemble back pain after completing otherwise simple tasks, or worsening vision at the annual eye exam. But actually what it looks like is waking up without the ability to bear weight for no explicable reason, becoming dizzy at random points of the day, and migraines that make staying up past 8 pm implausible.

The Gang Spies Like US 🤝 Frank Vs. Russia

Titles that imply the A plot is about the Gang dealing with a threat toward the United States when in reality the A plot is Mac and Dennis having borderline gay sex while the others chase some insane meaningless goal

Actual Scene vs. Outtake

Interestingly, it seems like the first shot is the exact same take, but because of all the breaking, they had to cut to another shot and went with a cropped close up for Dennis' line.

Shot one:

Shot two (outtake cropped to match):

im fine with a short season but I wish they were allowed to do long episodes.

I would honestly prefer 6 x 50 minute episodes over 8 x 22 minute episodes.

the christmas episode is the longest so far (43 minutes) and I think it proves they can write really well in a longer format.

idk I think my most common complaint of the recent seasons (and the series as a whole) is that the pacing often feels off. the endings can feel rushed or unfinished and sometimes exposition can feel frustrating because the short running time leaves no room to breathe, meaning it can turn into an rushed dump of information (the gang gets cursed).

imo sunny works best in longer comedic scenes rather than rapid fire cuts. that interview scene in sweet dee has a heart attack is so much funnier in the bloopers because they expand upon each joke. for me, one of the best scenes of season 16 was mac and charlie at bonnie and mrs mac's house in frank shoots every member of the gang. it is given room to escalate within the scene, until it becomes most chaotic.

comparatively, in the gang gets cursed, each flashback is funny but not long enough to feel comedically satisfying. it cuts too fast to the next idea.

ik massive changes to the format are normally hated by sunny fans but if they keep doing more complicated episodes, I think they would benefit from more breathing room.

So I've seen some takes recently for S16 that go something like that was way too vague to be canon anything regarding Dennis's sexuality and that the season still leaves things just vague enough, that it wasn't explicit like Hero or Hate crime or Mac Finds His Pride, basically that they probably won't do more with Dennis. Any thoughts?

History repeats itself! In the fandom, in the show, we loop and loop and who knows where we're going!

We have two more seasons locked down. They wouldn't have given us this Dennis scene if it weren't going somewhere. There would be no reason for Dennis to ignore the question if this was "it" for his sexuality. We were all pretty certain there would be some 'explain away' reason for The S.I.N.N.E.D. System, a "no homo" or "this is how, in theory, it would work" or "I created to for you, you guys are testing it", etc. But no, we got: 'This is my System for getting men, btw I have a Mommy kink and that's involved too.' LOL. Sorry that still blows my mind. But there's no reason to do that and not carry it through.

It wasn't explicit like HoHC or MFHP because... Well, 1. Dennis is a different guy. Look, it's not so much about struggling with his sexuality as it is about, no one knows Dennis' business, and no one needs to know unless he discloses it. he's not in denial, he's not homophobic, Mac was and that's a pretty different journey and 2. We're only half way through this renewal arc (15-18 was ordered as "one batch", for those unaware) and, not really there yet.

Pretend it's 2016 and you've just finished S11 live and watched Mac go back into the closet. So that's it, right? They probably won't do more with Mac, they had him come out and once again took it back. But then 12 happened, and then 13 happened... We're at 16. 17 will happen, and then 18 will happen. They have time...we have time. And it's a different game now, there's so much to explore, and so many ways to do it.

Anyway. Look at this funny very not obvious and clear parallel:

Mmhm. So my thoughts are: Canon will repeat itself, boy do they love doing that, but let's not have the fandom fall back there. We got queer Dennis, it's pretty undeniable, and it's certainly not the end by any means. If the streets are saying it's not explicit enough, trust RCG(M) will make it more explicit, trust... the structure.

This isn't the end, you're smack dab in the middle of the story :)
