Bluey is a little brat to her parents that is totally unnecessary.
- MBCook 2y agoHow do you model the character learning lessons if they’re already perfect?
- bmacho 2y agoThere is no need for explicit, spelled out lessons. Also conflicts can arise externally, and flawless people can solve them. That still can be an example, can't it. Also Bluey indeed bullies their father. He acts like he hates it every time, but based on how Chilli escapes most of the time, they must really hate it. I don't remember Bluey called out for that, only rewarded.
- bombcar 2y agoOnce you realize that 70% of the shows are basically “Dad distracts the kids after work so Mom can get dinner ready” or similar, it makes sense. Bandit lays down the law when he needs to, but most of the time he’s just playing. You’ll notice that he’s much more concerned with how Bluey plays with Bingo than he is with how she plays with him. He’s big, he can take it. Faceytime is a good example of “kid is naughty and gets in actual trouble”.
- Cyph0n 2y agoIt’s an OK show for children, but a really good show for parents. If you want children shows that are actually educational and fun, I usually recommend PBS Kids.
- ashton314 2y agoI’d wager you don’t have children, at least not high-energy ones. Or maybe you’re thinking of Muffin.
- basch 2y agoBluey is flawed and often in the wrong, that is kind of the point of her character.
- imp0cat 2y agoYou're getting a lot of downvotes, but you're right, Bluey can be quite cruel when playing with her dad.
- relaxing 2y agoExamples?
- imp0cat 2y agoHospital, Hairdressers, Shaun, Sleepytime... and the list goes on. Seems to me that Bandit is always on the receiving end. And then there is the Backpackers episode where Bingo takes her turn and punches him repeatedly.
