I think part of the problem is definitely that Bluey exists. It's a "Better Peppa" and when watching Peppa I can't help but compare them. Given I'm a Dad myself

I think part of the problem is definitely that Bluey exists. It's a "Better Peppa" and when watching Peppa I can't help but compare them. Given I'm a Dad myself I find the difference in the Dad characters to be illuminating: Daddy Pig is a klutzy idiot who, more often than not, makes mistakes other have to fix. By comparison Bandit is an incredible parent (maybe too incredible at times, so says my ego)
- Tade0 1y agoAmong my friends who are also fathers we're in agreement that Daddy Pig is in for an episode titled "Shared Custody". Meanwhile Bandit talks and acts like a real person would - well, at least one with top-tier parenting skills.
- varjag 1y agoUnlike Bandit, Daddy Pig didn't have to fight in War on Terror so he doesn't have to compensate.
- _carbyau_ 1y agoThere have been articles written - including words from the writer of the show - that mention the issue of Bandit's impossible dad standards. So yeah, don't take Bandit as the benchmark for being decent, but as something to aspire to. I figure that in a world where good role models are lacking for men in so many ways, here's a good one.
