Its a shame this show was cancelled for taking on serious topics. It was an adult show on an adult network and it being cancelled for being ‘too depressing’ was such w mistake bc now all these ‘depressing’ and ‘dark’ animated shows are all the rage with shows like Bojack Horseman and Rick and Morty. I really hope the creator would take the chance to finish the show it was meant to be but he doesn’t seem interested and it’s so heartbreaking :/

Just a correction I want to make about Nurse Bendy (tho the video is a few months old now so it's probably already been said) Bendy doesn't just suffer from loneliness, what she is doing is age-regression which is a type of response to trauma. She is making a make believe family out of teddy bears and she is using very childish words and acting very child-like compared to how she usually acts in the show to everyone else. This age-regression is usually done as a hold on to a more innocent time, before the trauma. Since it's confirmed that her son is half her age, that would make Nurse Bendy 24, meaning she had her boy when she was about 12. Chances are the abuse was going on before that so what we really see in the episode is a victim having her cooping mechanism ruined and tainted

I think the theory about Doughy's parents is a little silly. We KNOW what they looked like as teenagers, and while yes they do look like they haven't aged at all and it COULD be possible they had kids that looked identical to them as teens, i feel like thats abit of a weird roundabout explanation.
The reason they look like they haven't aged at all (in my opinion atleast) is for a thematic purpose. Its supposed to represent that these people truly haven't aged MENTALLY, they refused to grow up so they could keep being high-school sweethearts without a care in the world, and when they had Doughy they obviously weren't prepared at all, so they regressed even FURTHER. They completely ignored his existence so they didn't have to come face to face with the responsibility of becoming adults.

Moral Orel really deserves to be brought back, even though it was considered “too dark and depressing” I would still watch it. The story and animation was so good idk how they could just throw it all away.

it’s sad this show got cancelled for being “too dark and depressing” however most shows nowadays are like that, even kids shows. had this show premiered in the late 2010s or early 2020s, people would have really enjoyed it. what a shame because it’s such a good show, but i’m glad it exists and we get to watch it.

@iamokayfather8934 4 years ago

in case you didn't know, Sorry About Everything is Dino's band. So the creator of Moral Orel himself is the one singing that Closeface cover. He has stated that he wrote this song as a kid/teen and ended up adapting it into the show

This show was already disturbing itself, I’m interested to see what’ll be deeper on the iceberg. This is gonna be amazing, I can already tell.

i noticed that he accidentally said “moral orel” instead of “one of the greatest pieces of media ever created.” it’s okay, it’s a common mistake!

>watch Beforel Orel before starting Moral Orel
Absolutely not. Part of the appeal of the show is watching it slowly transform from a thematically shallow satire into something deeper, and Beforel Orel ties a nice bow on the show's arc. Watching it first is putting the cart before the horse.

@abandonedship-c5r 4 years ago

Simply spectacular. I'm honestly surprised that stuff like Clay's bisexuality or the connections to Davy and Goliath (or lack thereof) wasn't mentioned, but oh well.

@phasmophobe 4 years ago

I’m totally with you on coma theories. When they exist as canon, I just find it extremely lazy, it’s hard to get right. When they exist as fan theories, they’re just unimaginative and boring. Why would I want Alice to be crazy or in a coma when the whole draw of the story is Wonderland??

@CrazyWharf625 4 years ago (edited)

So pretty much, the "Please" script is a fanmade script that would've tackled the Bloberta/Papermouth affair episode. It starts off with Bloberta and Clay arguing about Clay not buying Orel new crutches, then we get a small glimpse at goth Orel, followed by Bloberta losing Shapey and having to call Papermouth to help her find him. The set up isn't the same as what Dino's description said, but again, it was a fanmade script. Not a whole lot of it was written.

I'm gonna be completely honest, orels_travels is honestly the most wholesome thing I've seen in a long time lol

@kk-nk4it 3 years ago

adult swim's "depressing" must have meant only when it was overlayed with comedy. the one time a show, this show, decided to put these sexual trauma topics into a much more serious light and horrific is when it got too much for them. plenty of other shows have stayed running when characters bring up this stuff just because it's not layed out disturbingly and ends off being apart of their "perverted character" or something. very upsetting but i'm sure many can appreciate the episode not making such a huge light about that and it being made then aired in the first place.

@MxCartney_Lou 4 years ago (edited)

About the autism theory, Orel also has some social skills issues, and can’t understand peoples relationships with each other or with him….for instance he doesn’t understand that Doughy is being neglected, he doesn’t understand that Bloberta and Clay are a TOXIC marriage, and that Joe is a bully.

(Edit: The social skills about those relationships is a problem because Orel is old enough to notice the problems in them, since he is late elementary or early middle school. In Beforel Orel he takes everything as truth/literally as told, which is a common thing for ASD people to do, they can’t especially at young ages understand when things are literal/sarcastic/metaphorical.)

In nature as well, he flaps his hands when nervous, and in Grounded he looses his mind in an almost meltdown way, because he can’t take part in his comfort special interest.

@zeldaandTwink 3 years ago

I believe clay does love Orel in his own sick way. Not as a person but as an object.

I think this quote from the book Coraline summaries this type of love:

It was true: the other mother loved her. But she loved Coraline as a miser loves money, or a dragon loves its gold. In the other mother's button eyes, Coraline knew that she was a possession, nothing more. A tolerated pet, whose behavior was no longer amusing

@toonzach2870 4 years ago

I'd argue against starting with Beforel Orel. I think it works better after you've already finished the show.

Sure, you don't massively spoil anything by watching it first, but there are things about it that hit harder when you have the baggage of the old show already. On top of that, some parts of Beforel Orel do slightly contradict some small things about the old show, like implying that Clay and Daniel had already been friends before the first season when it's implied in the first episode that they didn't know each other until then.

that screenshot of grown-up orel with his family celebrating christmas makes me tear up every time i see it. just the fact that someone who went through all that can go on to lead a happy life really makes me so happy

@bearlyalive9669 4 years ago

I like to believe that Shapey and Block didn’t go into foster care but actually just grew up from their parents. At the end we see Shapey became a fireman and Block became a policeman, those two job roles follow a path of justice, isn’t it convenient that the two brothers became men of the law? I like to think that Shapey and Block always had themselves after Orel left, judging by Shapey’s first words at the end of the season it’s clear that these two were a perfect match, they both understood each other and learned from it. That should be enough to show that they didn’t need there parents, they just needed each other throughout their childhood at leas until they could grow up
