Summary Although South Park has come to rely on Cartman as the show’s de facto villain over the years, season 27 can’t afford to continue this tired approach. When South Park originally debuted in 1997, the chaotic animated comedy didn’t have a clear villain. South Park’s wild early seasons were so focused on gory gross-out violence, silly random humor, and shock value that the episodes had little time for character development.
In recent years, Cartman has enjoyed some surprisingly sweet storylines that work precisely because they subvert his existing persona. This trend began with 2021’s two-part South Park special "Post-COVID," wherein Cartman’s future self is revealed to be a selfless family man. This jarring revelation set up Cartman's character change in the show’s ensuing seasons as the antihero gradually grew more of a conscience despite sometimes backsliding into unfettered hubris and greed.
Cartman’s One-Note Villainy Makes South Park’s Plots Too Predictable Cartman’s antics are now rarely shocking Close Ever since “Scott Tenorman Must Die” set the bar for Cartman's villainy so high, South Park has struggled to outdo Cartman’s most infamous act. One episode that focused on the death of South Park’s Kenny came close with Cartman committing some truly heinous acts during its subplot, but this arrived shortly after the season 5 outing.
