The offered reward is a whopping $100, which is basically Earth’s total wealth. Conveniently, it just so happens that a cat named Scrambles has gone missing in South Park. Well, Coon and Friends might be great at stopping the evil-doers of South Park, but every franchise needs money, especially to land those lucrative Netflix series. Now that you’ve got a solid superhero backstory, what’s next? What it boils down to, as Cartman so eloquently describes it, is that “You started fighting crime because you saw your dad-the man you trusted-fuck your mom.” Whoa, that’s heavy-definitely (ahem) marvelous material. What you find in there is horrifying, compelling you to devote your potent powers to fighting the forces of evil.
Anyway, after defeating them as impressively as Marvel’s best, you open the door to your parents’ room. By the way, one thing you can’t change is that the source of your power is anal. There you find some ruffians and have to fend them off with your newfound powers-this is where you choose your first character class. So, Cartman, aka Coon, invents a gripping narrative about you waking up in the middle of the night to the sounds of struggle outside your room. But you can’t just up and join the Coon and Friends superhero franchise, because we all know that every good superhero needs an interesting backstory first. Just like The Stick of Truth, you’re playing as The New Kid (aka, Douchebag, Butthole, or Buttlord) again, but now the boys have switched games from LARPing to superheroes, so that battle-hardened Jew you created in your quest for an all-powerful tree branch is now worthless, just like you.
Side note: see this video to learn about the origins of the title, “The Fractured But Whole.” It might change how you pronounce it… That Trey Parker and Matt Stone were able to take a group of poorly animated, foul-mouthed fourth graders living in a fictitious small town in Colorado and turn it into a successful TV show and video game series full of witty, hilarious commentary on modern society and current events ranging from politics to racism, sexism and pop culture, is nothing short of incredible. There’s no sugar-coating it, South Park: The Fractured But Whole is simply brilliant.
