Justified as Cartman was (and still is) an abusive, manipulative asshole to Butters and the other people (including Stan and Kyle) back when they were young.

South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: In the first act, the boys were planning on blackmailing a classmate of theirs to give them front row seats at a basketball game before the pandemic suddenly starts. In the final act, their future selves visit that classmate's house and use the same blackmail material to help their past selves go to that basketball game, thereby mending their friendship in the process. The weed that Randy gives Stan before he goes back to the past. Said weed is left by Stan at Past Randy's doorstep, who cultivates, researches, and smokes it to find out that it mellows the hell out of you. In fact, he's so mellowed out that he gives it away for free, leaving everyone in a state of blissful forgiveness as they go around apologizing to each other about how they acted during the pandemic's zenith.

South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid / int_23a06c52	comment	The Un-Reveal: In the new future Kyle has two biological children, all but confirming that he's married. However the audience is never shown who Kyle married in the new future. It's never made clear what caused the boys (and everyone else) to cut ties with Cartman for good in the revised future, though its most likely something Cartman did at a certain point and was apparently so bad that not even Butters wants anything to do with him. It could also be a combination of things; the call-forwards in Seasons 25 and 26 show that Cartman has permanently damaged his relationship with his mother and screwed over his friends for money (even Butters), while also having little to no desire to do anything with his life beyond being spiteful, lazy, and manipulative. All of these things will likely contribute to everyone's collective last straw with Cartman.

With these changes in place for the good timeline, Kenny, Shelly, and Sharon are now alive and well, whereas Clyde is nowhere to be seen despite his death being undone in the new timeline. Either he couldn't make it, he just wasn't interested in attending the party, or he died because he was still unvaccinated in the new timeline as he was in the at-risk group of getting COVID-19.

To make it even more notable, while Cartman used to frequently curse at people as a child as part of his extremely Jerkass personality as well, he was also ambitious, manipulative, even charismatic sometimes, and despite his "friends" hating his guts, they were still technically his friends, and they still used to hang out with him. The Cartman we see in the new timeline is such a failure as a human being that cursing at people is all he does, all of his Faux Affably Evil and Manipulative Bastard tendencies are completely gone.

It helps that she's an adult now, and it's most likely that she grew out of being a Big Sister Bully and a brat when she got older as most teens do. Heck, everyone seems to become a better person after the trio fixes their friendship, with some help from the weed Stan brought with him... except for Cartman.

South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid / int_401d4116	comment	Broken Aesop: One of the messages of the special is that Covid was bound to happen and that it's better not to obsess over things out of your control. The problem is that unlike the real world where its origins are debatable and unlikely to pinpoint, South Park has an exact origin, Randy fucking a pangolin. While it's said that he does so in each potential timeline, it doesn't change that, yes, it actually is preventable in this world. The only reason it still happened isn't because of forces beyond people's understanding, but that Randy is too stupid and irresponsible to even consider not doing it.

To make matters worse, Cartman sacrifices his own happiness to give everyone a better future while he's stuck as a drunk, homeless loser. On the other hand, everyone else's personal lives are much better, the worst parts of America's future society are more manageable, and COVID-19 is no longer the huge, terrible threat it used to be.

His only method of communicating with the people who used to be associated with him is to angrily curse at them, which certainly doesnâ€™t draw them into wanting to be with him.

Averted in the new future, as he is happy in his new job as a restaurant waiter (who just became manager) and with his sanity still intact and still being friends with the other main characters except for Cartman. Downplayed with Cartman, since he was already Ax-Crazy as a kid, but he at least was a calculating manipulator and schemer who held the Sanity Ball on occasion. However, once his friends and everyone else decide to cut ties with him and avoid him at all costs, Cartman loses what sanity he used to have as a result of the complete lack of human contact to supplement his Attention Whore nature, and in the process, he becomes a drunk homeless madman with no trace of the manipulative and scheming tendencies that he use to have, with his only method of communication being cursing people.

He sees Cartman as a manchild who only pretended to turn his life around to spite him and who wants to keep everything as it is to keep them all miserable. It's only when Yentl breaks up the fight that Kyle realizes that Cartman's reformation is real and that he is forcing Cartman to sacrifice his family and happiness. He tries to reassure them (mainly himself by the looks of it) that he's not the villain.

Yet the selfish reasons are the love of his family and the apparently correct belief that in every other future he will be an unloved jerkass. His Heelâ€“Face Turn is triggered by realizing that his good self is turning into his bad self. He helps to fix the future and as a result his family and his good future self never exist and his new future self is not just bad but also a bum.

When they became adults, however, Kyle wanted to fix the future but for selfish reasons because he was miserable and jealous when Cartman got the happier life, while Cartman wants to prevent the future from being fixed, but for more sympathetic reasons in that he's afraid he'll lose his family if the future is changed. Then Cartman decides to help Kyle fix the future where, despite Cartman being the more selfless of the two, Cartman loses his happy life and becomes miserable while Kyle gets the happier life.

It contrasts with the "good" future where Cartman stayed the same awful person he was a child, none of his selfish, bigoted, petty, and lazy tendencies would help him in his adulthood, while his toxic behavior drove everyone away, leaving Cartman as a drunk and miserable hobo who's all alone and has accomplished nothing in his life.

Future Cartman did nothing with his life whatsoever. Cartman was often The Friend Nobody Likes in his peer group, Butters was the only one who put up with him (and sometimes, not even then). He did at least love his mother in his own way, but it was mainly because he knew he could easily get what he wanted out of her. In the future, Cartman has no friends at all (or even any family), and Butters, the one person most likely to put up with Cartman's behavior in the past, is now the least sympathetic towards him.

Butters says that Cartman's life as a miserable hobo in the new future is karma for all the heinous things he's done in his childhood.

South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid / int_98576799	comment	Throw the Dog a Bone: Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Butters are usually good kids who happens to Butt Monkeys in their childhoods and suffer depressing fates in the Bad Future. Luckily, they are given happy and successful lives in the good future. Stan is Knight in Sour Armor during his childhood who lost his mother and sister, while his First Love, Wendy, marries someone else in the bad future. Stan becomes more cheerful as an adult, his mother and sister are still alive, has a Maybe Ever After ending with Wendy in the good future. Kyle never had much luck in romance as a kid while he severed his relations with his friends, resulting in him living alone and having no friends in the bad future. In the good future, Kyle finds woman who he loves enough to marry and start a family with and is still friends with almost everyone, with Kyle's children considering his best friend Stan their Honorary Uncle. Kenny grew up poor and died constantly as a child, and while he does become a rich and well-respected scientist, he become resentful towards his peers and gets Killed Off for Real in the bad future. While his career remains the same in the good future, he is much more happier and is still alive this time around. Butters was The Chew Toy as a kid who had to endure Abusive Parents and grew up on insane Snake Oil Salesman that had to be locked up in an asylum in the bad future. He retains his sanity in the good future, is still a Nice Guy to everyone (except Cartman), and is happy and satisfied working at Denny's.

South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid / int_ab5eea65	comment	Dramatic Irony: In the new future, Kyle laments that Cartman never did anything with his life and became the pitiful, alcoholic hobo who yells at people. Unbeknownst to everyone (including Cartman himself), Cartman in the old timeline gave up his best and happiest future so everyone else can have better lives, even resurrecting Kenny, Sharon, and Shelly in the process. Contrary to Butters' opinion that nothing could have saved Cartman from the path he was on, Cartman's wife, Yentl, was the person who saved him in the old timeline. If she had met Cartman in the new timeline, she would have been repulsed by him for his behavior and lack of self-care. Cartman uses very questionable methods to prevent the future from being fixed (much like his younger, bad self) and he does it for selfish reasons. Yet the selfish reasons are the love of his family and the apparently correct belief that in every other future he will be an unloved jerkass. His Heelâ€“Face Turn is triggered by realizing that his good self is turning into his bad self. He helps to fix the future and as a result his family and his good future self never exist and his new future self is not just bad but also a bum.

Space Jam 2 once again gets some flak as well with one of the positive effects of the weed Stan gives to Randy being that LeBron James is unwilling to do it anymore because it supports Chinese censorship, with the rest of the crew abandoning the project and cheering as well. At one point, Randy also bemoans that at least six more Space Jam films will have been made. When Wendy states that aluminum foil can withstand the time machine's negative feedback, her husband Darwin references the 2021 Supply Chain Crisis, mentioning a massive shortage of aluminum and unmanned cargo ships drifting in Long Beach still having not been unloaded in such a long time. A subtle one at network television and streaming services that try too hard to be inoffensive. When Jimmy tells one of his uncompromised jokes in the new future, PC Principal of all people can be seen laughing at it.

It's only after the show's revelation that Cartman is in fact redeemable that Butters finally cuts all ties with him, deeming him Beyond Redemption and swaying the others from taking pity on him. Meanwhile, Kyle, who originally held Cartman in deep contempt for most of the series, contrasts Butters by being sympathetic to his situation.

Epilogue: The end of this special reveals the main charactersâ€™ new lives in the revised future: Stan has a successful career in the US Space Force, his mother and sister are still alive this time around, and he has a Maybe Ever After future with Wendy. Kyle is a happy family man with a wife and children of his own, with the latter considering Stan to be their Honorary Uncle. Kenny is still a successful scientist who just won a Nobel Peace Prize for combining dark matter with breast implants. Butters works at Denny's Applebee's Max as a waiter whoâ€™s just been promoted to manager. Cartman has become a miserable and homeless alcoholic whoâ€™s done nothing with his life but scream insults at people, while having driven everyone away from him with his horrible behavior.

This isn't because any of them were really a bad influence on each other, but their rivalry would motivate Cartman to harass them, bringing out the worst in him. With the pandemic keeping them separated, Cartman was no longer motivated to behave that way and found happiness with Yentl. Then South Park got locked down and Cartman was in close connection to Stan and Kyle, where, despite his noble intentions, his old manipulative and conniving self returned, until Yentl called him out on his actions. In a rebooted timeline nearly everyone is in much better condition because they were able to maintain their relationships, while Cartman became a homeless drunk because he stayed with them too long.

It could also be a combination of things; the call-forwards in Seasons 25 and 26 show that Cartman has permanently damaged his relationship with his mother and screwed over his friends for money (even Butters), while also having little to no desire to do anything with his life beyond being spiteful, lazy, and manipulative. All of these things will likely contribute to everyone's collective last straw with Cartman.

South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid / int_f0085dbc	comment	Impossible Thief: Victor's ability to sell people on NFTs is treated as a mix of this and Noodle Incident.

The heroes all grow up to have successful and happy lives, everyone who was previously dead is alive this time, the town is moving towards a positive direction, and the one person who has a terrible ending (Cartman) is the one who is truly deserving of such a fate.
