Not really sure. I'm middle aged so maybe that's a factor? Funny thing is I've never actually seen either of those movies. I guess I have a fairly good memory for useless trivia.

You are probably on to something here. We shouldn’t have tolerated everything. We shouldn’t have entertained their conspiracy theories or gave them a seat at the table at all.
To be fair, that wasn't the final change to his appearance. His design jumped around a lot. This is very clearly a multi-verse situation. The Arthur-verse.
I can't believe Arthur, my favorite celebrity, gave in to corruption and became a sellout. Now I'm questioning everything. Is the library even fun?
He should have stuck with being an English alcoholic socialite in New York City.
Arthur... Bach? Is that the reference?
Yup.
I had to dig really hard to find this one. Why is he so well known to you?
I mean it's a movie with the exact same title as the show everyone is talking about? Doesn't seem like that much of a deep cut
whats the movie?
...Arthur, from 1981. Like I said, it has the same title as the show? Am I being trolled?

Or you're a Christopher Cross fan?
Yes the library is fun!
Ask Mychal Threets!

Not if you don't have a library card
The literary OF girls never seemed to need cards
I have a library card. But I still find it difficult to have fun sometimes. Was it all lies?!
Do you think someone would actually do that? Just go on the Internet and tell lies?
also made him lighter skinned 🤔
Arthur is supposed to be an anteater??!?
Aardvark
A a rd v-a-r-k
YOU DONE MESEED UP AY-AY-RDVARK!
perfect
Aardvarks are much better than anteaters, if we sort them lexicographically by name.
NO THEY ARE NOT ANTEATERS DONE EVOLVED MORE TIMESES gang up on him all y'all different anteaterses
they are the crabs of the land. dude even looks scuttley
edit you know what i was going to edit it out but my hill folk heritage comes out in times of passion deal with it
They covered this in song.
My first artichoke plant was named Arthur. Then a bastard cultist murdered it. I think that's about all i can go into it though.
That's actually very accurate modern day's double standards.

gestures at America if he's been at it for 4 generations then what's all this?
For four generations we've been associating tolerance, respect and community with childish cartoon characters; something to be outgrown.
I got about as much tolerance left as Bugs Bunny.
He got 2 in 3 of us. The other 1/3rd I'd rather not talk about
1 in 3. A third decided to be bystanders in the fact of abject bigotry.
Well that's a fine example of your "tolerance, respect, and community"
Perfect is the enemy of good
You are probably on to something here. We shouldn’t have tolerated everything. We shouldn’t have entertained their conspiracy theories or gave them a seat at the table at all.
We will have to figure out a way to do better.

Maybe the presence or size of the opposition is, in part, due to shit like that.
But think of the memes!
Them’s fightin words dissin’ Mr R like that tho.
Making him perfect one step at a time
There's absolutely nothing wrong with your nose, but if you ever want to change that hideous thing on your face, give me a call
He's a fucking aardvark?! 🤦♂️
"🎶A-A-R-D-VARK!🎶"
something was, in fact, wrong with Arthur's nose
Arthur's first book was nothing but beta cope, but once he took looksmaxxing seriously he ascended to become a celebrity and cultural icon.
Take notes, children.
His shirt also went from rad as hell to swirly bait
He traded his nose for some minor sight defects.
Just like all the body positivity ppl once a shot could make you skinny
To be fair, that wasn't the final change to his appearance. His design jumped around a lot. This is very clearly a multi-verse situation. The Arthur-verse.
So I went and looked: aardvark means "earth pig" or "ground pig" in afrikaner
Also, this is Arthur's reaction
Erdferkel in German. Earth-Piglet.
Looks like they just shortened his face, the nose is the same
