Some idiotic loser failed at life and makes a documentary in order to get a bunch of other idiots to give him support
he succeeds that's all this is. The entire point of Apu is that's one of the most upstanding people in the city. But okay, let the cowards obey the wishes of some idiot ... Copied to Clipboard!

I get it. He's a bit of a racist charicature and even if he got some solid character development, it's hard to get passed that. I'm not sure why these characters become so sacrosanct to certain people, but times change, characters movie on. It's absolutely baffling that people act like having the exact same set of characters on a show for 30+ years is the norm. I mean, when was the last time they even introduced a new reoccurring character?

The entire point of Apu is that's one of the most upstanding people in the city. The entire point? I'm pretty sure his most quoted lines are digs at his vegetarianism, funny accent, or 'funny' exotic religion. I mean, I'm not saying he didn't get good character development, but even making a stereotype a hero of the story doesn't change the fact that they are a stereotype. You can't deny that's like 50% of the character. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yes In his first few appearances he was the same as every other secondary character: a one dimensonal being Hibberr was laughter, Homer was booze, Ned was religion, Smithers was a lackey, Lisa was the smart kid, Bart was the underachiever If you wanna focus on the first few appearances then sure go nuts. ...
