r/Arthur

Was it just me, or did anybody else feel so frustrated at the end of “Arthur’s Lost Dog.” That the Read family never put two and two together and connected Baby Kate getting the balloon from Pal that made her stop crying and realized oh so that’s what she wanted. She just wanted a balloon.

They were just so clueless and are just like “I don’t know. I guess we’ll never know why she was so upset.” When it’s so obvious that the balloon that Pal brought her made her stop crying. And is right in front of their faces. The first season of Arthur, I feel like had so many holes. Again, this could be a meeting thing. But it’s bothered me for so long. I just wanted to hear your guys thoughts

Did anyone else notice that in DW's baby she was just upset that she wasn't in charge the way she thought she was going to be First when Arthur burped Kate and then when she was bragging about Kate sharing her room but Kate was crying all night Putting her in DW's room was a terrible idea no wonder DW decided to get rid of her.

Now I don’t know if my memory is being delulu but I swear there was an episode where a character/s were eating a type of Indian platter in a big circle plate. Hope this makes sense😪

For me, probably where Kate and Pal made friends with a talking Italian flea, that was just boring and in " In My Africa, where it’s just singing about all the African countries, it was made before South Sudan became independent too

I can think of 2 prime examples of this.

The first is D.W. 's Baby, where in the course of 5 minutes, D.W. goes from being beyond excited to have a sister, to literally wanting to get her into so much trouble that her own parents would disown her.

The other, which I think is far more frustrating and less relatable, is Dad's Dessert Dilemma where Arthur has completely blinded himself to the idea that his Dad's cooking might be Good, that he tries to sabotage his Dad's own masterpiece by hiding it amongst the other cakes. As Mr. Ratburn takes a bite, Arthur has no thoughts in his head beyond being condemned by the school for bringing the cake, only for Mr. Ratburn's reaction to be so positive, that Arthur COMPLETELY goes the other way and literally objectifies his own Dad as a dessert making machine. He later apologizes for doing that, but never seems to have any sort of self-reflection in realizing that he unjustly never gave his Dad's food a chance.
