#actually feeling sort of pressed towards butthead in this season despite him being my favorite of the two

[bloodboyx]

firstly I'd like to admit I went into this episode with the wrong impression

I had assumed Beavis would have no idea this random guy wasn't butthead

and therefore his behavior would seem wildly out of line and beavis would take notice and think butthead himself was acting odd

and maybe this would've added to the ending where Beavis finds the real butthead and then promptly gets mistreated by him

I'm also getting the impression this is flipping their usual dynamic around, Beavis finally having to deal with this overly hyper and clingy guy that doesn't shut up and he's wildly uncomfortable with this, visibly so

even when in a place like the guitar shop where Beavis would be having the time of his life with a loud guitar hooked up to an Amp, he simply tries to put it down, and even apologized for setting off the Amp feedback

if this were the older (younger?) Beavis he would've jammed the fuck out on that guitar being as loud as possible and butthead would've egged him on to the point of smashing the guitar on the ground

I've never seen Beavis act so small and anxious in his environment before, he truly has no clue what to do without butthead by his side

I'd also like to add that once again, Beavis is out on his own in the beginning

the set up for this, we have no idea

but with Beavis saying butthead should be at the maxi mart we can assume maybe they were meeting up? or Beavis left the maxi mart and was on his way back?

both of these seem odd

even when the guy almost let's Beavis go on his own, he can't even believe it

sure this might be disbelief after dealing with him dragging him around nonestop and talking his ear off

but I also think it represents beavis's lack of authority over his actions that he's so used to being controlled by butthead

and the thing to set him free from this guy's grip on him, is him standing up for himself and saying enough

and yes his guy misinterpreted it to be about his girlfriend

but it still gave Beavis the results he wanted

I will admit I really like the moment of this guy teaching Beavis how to fist bump

incredibly wholesome thats all I have to say

and beavis coming home and trying to show butthead what he learned only to get punched for what I assume to be no real reason

really shows how butthead is just becoming a bully

he's snarky all the time now and hits Beavis nonstop and ignores all of beavis's attempts to point something logical out (which is out of character for Beavis as well I'll add)

my final note about both of these new episodes-

I feel like they just dislike eachother now

they feel like roommates staying together because the rent is too high to live on their own

these aren't two best friends that grew up together since diapers that say they aren't friends but don't mean it

no, there's malice now

where this came from I'm not exactly sure

like I previously stated maybe butthead is acting out more on Beavis due to his actions in the movie

but I feel like he's pushing it too far even then

there's tension between them that feels like it's never going to be resolved due to the episodic nature of this series

and although that wasn't a problem in the og series, it is now

#this probably seems really sloppy because i was taking notes as i was watching the episodes and then added revisions after #i feel like everything i had to say has been said before so i dont know- #actually feeling sort of pressed towards butthead in this season despite him being my favorite of the two #my post #beavis and butthead #its not a 5 page essay but i figure its worth sharing anyway 🤷‍♂️ #im also referring to keith as 'this random guy' because thats what he feels like #this feels more like a character analysis than anything else and just me pointing out how differently they act now towards eachother
