Viewers can head on down toSouth Parktoday for its new streaming eventJoining the PanderverseonParamount+and to celebrate the release, the streamer unveiled a first look clip that gives a small taste of what to expect. This latest special tackles more timely topics like AI and the multiverse, but this clip in particulartakes aim at the House of Mouse. Cartman has a bad dream that he and his friends are all replaced by a diverse group of women who want to stop the patriarchy at all costs.
The clip opens on Cartman, now a Black woman, sitting in his usual seat at the kitchen table. She gets into an argument with her mom about wanting to stay home and playBaldur’s Gate 3that goes nowhere, acting exactly likethe spoiled little boy everyone knows and loves. Forced to wait for the bus, she stands at the usual stop with Stan, Kyle, and Kenny, now all diverse women themselves who enjoy their typical conversations except for two things - Kenny is no longer muffled, and they have to make a joke about white men establishing the patriarchy. Before the nightmare can go any further, Cartman wakes up screaming, now back to normal. He even asks him mom to check under his bed and in the closet for any Disney executives that want to replace him. His scariest boogeyman, however, is Lucasfilm presidentKathleen Kennedy.
Unfortunately for Cartman, his worst fears may become reality. InSouth Park: Joining the Panderverse, the end of life in the sleepy little mountain town as he’s used to is foretold through his diverse dreams. Ifthe previously released teaseris any indication, just about every one of the kids from Cartman to Butters will be replaced, leaving them in a race against time to find a solution. Meanwhile, the adults of South Parkhave had enough of AIinfecting their lives and are left grappling with their many decisions that upended everything.
