Today was terrible like all the days are terrible now and I’m gonna eat ice cream and watch the Smurfs for the rest of the evening so you might wanna mute this thread.
I wasn’t allowed to watch the Smurfs, because I was the youngest by a lot and there was only one TV. I knew it as a goofy cultural reference of course, but it’s not a cartoon universe I developed theories about or anything.
I do know that Smurfette was created in Gargamel’s lab to destabilize Smurf society, but not what his problem with them is. Maybe they dig up his garden. I refuse to research this.
There’s an introductory narration, but it just says Smurfs good Gargamel evil. I appreciate the moral clarity there, but that much was implied by the set design.
Smurfette came back from the forest toting a Smurf Baby and everyone is cool with that, also they do not know where baby Smurfs would even come from but aren’t too concerned about it.
