i thought i dreamt this how is it even real
“World Premiere- It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 13″
Warning- Contains spoilers
Love this analysis of what’s to come with what info we’ve been given!
We also know that part of the scene during Mac’s dance will be similar to the classic ending of the movie Sullivan’s Travels, which to make a parallel to, especially in that episode, makes a statement about Always Sunny’s layered goals and the purpose of what topics and situations they’ve chosen to involve in the show, while categorized as a comedy. Both hold serious notions in each hilarious absurdity, and demonstrate that the best way to aid in resolution of actual hardship is through an element of comedy.
It’s also self-referential in a way, in that rcg successfully pursued their dreams of acting and creating their own show about people trying to pursue their own dreams (originally in the plot they were all aspiring actors - It’s Always Sunny on Tv).
Sullivan’s Travels is one of the most highly acclaimed movies about movies, and Always Sunny is one of the most high quality shows about other shows (highlighting and subverting known cliches and scenarios of established popular fiction) in order to make self-aware statements on negative behavior/societal dynamics.
these are the three scenes from the official season trailer that we still haven’t seen, i think. all of these look to be from mac finds his pride, with the possible exception of the last one (frank has no injury/different outfit) except why would they be in the apartment still in the gang wins the big game? also, the trailer for gang wins the big game contained almost exclusively clips from charlie’s home alone, so it’s safe to say we’re pretty much going in blind and there are reasons rcg doesn’t want to reveal literally anything about the ep before it airs.
we have slightly more information for mac finds his pride, based on interviews, the official trailer, and screenings. we know mac is going to come out to luther via interpretive dance to a sigur ros song, we know it won’t go well, and we know frank will try to find mac a boyfriend. looks to me like frank is showing off cricket to dee as an option – god, just look at what cricket’s wearing. we all know frank is into some kinky shit and has in all likelihood worn something similar before & he’s probably trying to make him seem sexy and viable for mac. i’m just saying, if cricket’s being presented as an option for mac in the same episode that mac tries to get closer to luther, that’s two people off the machelor list right there. correct me if i’m wrong, but i don’t think the mcpoyles have been in this season yet, and they’re, like, staple side characters – i’m pretty sure i remember rcg saying, like, “it’s not a season of sunny if it doesn’t have the waitress, artemis, and the mcpoyles” so it’d make sense to put them in the finale, especially seeing as they’re fan favorites. another machelor person crossed off. frank will probably use a mcpoyle (liam) & cricket, possibly among others, to be mac’s boyfriend (seeing as the gang is on decent terms w about five people and the mcpoyles/cricket are two that have been openly gay in the past, for one reason or another), and push mac to come out to and bond with luther. none of this will work out. none of them will fill mac’s “hole”, literally or emotionally, as the machelor said. and who did mac end up choosing in the machelor? dennis.
i’m not saying the machelor prophecy but uh! the machelor prophecy! fingers crossed lads
