Is this the worst allegory ever in a modern cartoon?

This, also gun control stories never really portray the gun issue very fairly.
Either everyone has guns, only the government (and bad people) have guns, or only the government has guns (and they quickly turn into bad people).
Everyone having guns is the only compromise that gives the weak a chance; assuming you can get rid of them all only works for island nations, and even then not fully.

They do, but they lose their powers and individuality (the skeletonized characters all look the same, save for some minor details like hair), which is a pretty lousy fate in an universe where everyone is "super", and there's an emphasis on being unique. They also become completely dependent on some shady weapons dealer and his device, in lieu of their actual skills and powers.
I agree, but the allegory by itself is not as terrible as it might seem.
Consider the following:
the world of OK KO runs on cartoon physics, so all those weapons being sold at the bodega aren't really deadly, when someone gets hit by one of those they will be completely fine in the next scene. The skeleton remote is way more dangerous than some flame sword because its effects are permanent, and it makes the zapped people powerless, which is seen by characters in-universe as something they wouldn't wish on their worst enemy.
Maybe, maybe not, see above. The skeleton remote might be an awful allegory, but at the very least it serves the function of foreshadowing the origin story of the main villain (and if you squint hard enough, also the 2nd season finale), so it's not all bad.

I'm pretty anti-gun, but this episode was a horrific strawman. People have weapons for legitimate purposes and it is a constitutional right. And fucking calling your congressman doesn't magically solve problems. What a cockup.

Man this episode was trying to be serious. And then it just felt stupid with the final scene where he was like woahhhh I just had to call my representative? Awesome
The show had that problem a majority of the time. They never knew when to not make jokes and be serious

No surprisingly Animaniacs made a worse hun episode.

that's not an allegory. An allegory is visual representation of an abstract idea, and guns aren't abstracts.

School shootings are a good thing because most millennial/zoomer high schoolers deserve to die

>Device that allows you to defeat literally any villain with just a click, doesn't even kill him
>NO IT'S BAD
If they didn't ban skeleton remotes, then TKO wouldn't have been able to literally kill everyone.

Yeah Bun Control was an absolute 0/10 and trying to be cute about it afterward didn't help.

>Device that allows you to defeat literally any hero with just a click
>NO IT'S NOT BAD
The skeleton remote dealer also sold them to villains.

I think it would be better as a discussion on commodification of skill for the detriment of the consumer.
>no powers = fight with tech and weapons = more money for them, and less identity for people
>hands out skeleton remotes for free ‘there’s no such thing as a free weapon’

maybe this whole ""allegory"" cant be resolved/educated in cartoon form.

Yeah but what corporate overseer would let a show talk about that?

Of course not, but some attempts can be funnier than others.

There will never be any fully gun free societies. It's basically private ownership of guns vs exclusive elite ownership of guns via security guards. Ask any politician if he wants to deprive his security detail of weapons, and you'll always get a "no way fag, I'm too important to follow the laws I make for you".

>KO wants a new amazing weapon
>doesn’t have enough to pay for it
>grumbles as Gil Ferris shows up, with an amazing weapon, totally free, for all the plaza to try out; the Skeleton Remote
>people getting zapped, every scene skeletons get more and more present
>people lose their powers, and compensate with cheap weapons, but KO senses something’s wrong
>confronts Gil thinking they’re turning everyone into skeletons to control them
>he reveals his master plot to KO; to replace all of the Plaza’s powerful denizens with skeletons, and sell their powers back to them
>the crew try to fight him, but he actually DOES have a skeleton controlling power, though it’s more for low range stuff to deal with nosey people... like KO
>plans to turn KO into a inanimate skeleton to hide his scheme, maybe gift him to a science classroom, give back to the community
>‘You’re Boned, Kid’
>TKO bursts out for a bit and obliterates the whole practice before returning to his hidden... thing I haven’t really watched the show idk I saw a scene where he was in a mind palace or something, if that doesn’t work someone else saves him
There

Tell me the skinny
I can hardly believe one can do worse than skeleton remotes

It isn't often you hear someone describe themselves as anti-gun and go on to say they recognize people not only having the right but also the reasons to own them. Compared to a lot of anti-gun people you're basically Charlton Heston.

They did it worse than Animaniacs so yeah

It's such a bad analogy and even worse when it gets to the emotional plea in the form of a song. Lines like
>Lets ban them in certain places like schools, public parks
Means they literally have no idea when it comes to what current gun laws are like and ignoring the argument of "Gun laws only stop good people from getting their hands on them"
How does a show have something so surface level bad like this but then also have a character in another episode be a walking nu-metal reference voice by the lead singer of Korn?
