Current Events > You know, Fry really should have kept the ____ (Futurama Spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Worms.

They improved his health, got him into better shape, improved his motor functions and intelligence.

And he gets rid of it all to so Leela would "love him for who he really is, not what the worms made him!"

But he's still the same dude, esstentially just the same dude in better health.

Would be like removing a pacemaker and going "I want my wife to love me for who I am, not for being a cyborg!"

The worms didn't seem to be doing anything negative to fry and they had mutual benefit in co-existence. Everyone wins.

Fry kicking them out means a bunch if not all of those sentient worms died, those who survived lost all their homes in a forced relocation.

And Fry threatened suicide to do it, that ain't mentally healthy man.

And what if him and Leela end up having kids? Surely being healthy and capable would be massively important towards being a good father.

That episode's moral seemed kinda off the mark.

But they weren't the real him.
That's usually the lesson portrayed in things like this.
In the Simpsons were Homer's IQ increased because a crayon was removed from his nose he ended up reverting back to the way he was by choice

The lesson is "don't try to change yourself".

IT was tho.

It was just him with better health.

That's a dumb lesson tho. Always try to be better and improve.

The worms didn't make Fry suddenly obsessed with licking rocks or hate Leela and want to fuck Hermes or become a neo-conservative political analyst for Fox News.

He was still Fry. Just with a better functioning body.

Agreed, TC.

They made him incredibly smarter which is not who the real FRy is

I wish I had some of those worms they would be great for health.
