After more than 15 long years of our television screens, the Hill family and the rest of the Gang Arlen are back, baby! The renewal of the “King of the Hill” of the creator Mike Judge on Hulu gave fans a chance to see what happened to the propane seller Hank Hill (judge), his wife of a replacement Spanish professor Peggy (Kathy Najimy), and their son of good heart Bobby (Pamela Adlon) after the end of the 13th season of Hank, in the first episode of the 14th season, Streaming on Hulu, we learned in Hank. In Saudi Arabia for Hank to work in Arab propane, and the show begins to return to Arlen. The elderly hills seem more or less the same thing, but there have been a lot of changes with other characters from “King of the Hill” since they left. All the same, Hank and Peggy are retired now and Bobby runs his own restaurant, telling certain young young people there, he is 21 years old when they potentially tease him to be older. Since the end of the series when Bobby was 13 years old, it means that eight years have passed between season 13 and 14 … right?
There is a fairly important problem: in the excellent episode of the second season of the season, “No Hank Left Behind”, Hank spends a little time binding with his younger brother Good Hank (Finn Wolfhard), who is now a teenager and was only an infant at the end of the original series. This suggests that a little more time has passed and has certainly spoiled the chronology of the original cannon. After all, if Bobby was 13 years old and GH was 2 and now there are 21 and 15, it’s very stupid mathematics that simply do not add up. However, despite the fact that “King of the Hill” takes place in what is ostensibly the real world (although Arlen is a fictitious city), it does not matter that the years are not enough Add – Because this is not what is important on “King of the Hill”.
The relations of character count more than the canonical chronology of the king of the hill
“King of the Hill” has always played it a little quickly and loose with its own cannon and is not exactly the kind of series with regular reminders or gags. Of course, the characters have unique features that are raised with a certain regularity, such as the Uretral Agreement of Hank and the ridiculous alter of his neighbor, but there is no real reason to have a strict chronology. It is possible that Bobby was lying about his age and has a few more years (which always corresponds to his former friends Connie and Chane at the same time in college), which would potentially make the ages be more logical, but it is also quite possible that the writers of the show simply would not have thought so difficult. After all, it was much more important to tell a story where Hank tried to find out more about his younger brother and the young generation, by attacking toxic masculinity in the process, than to worry too much about the exact age differences between the characters.
What is important in “King of the Hill” is that it has always been a show to improve you and how the people we love can help us grow. Whatever the small details revealed, end up being made at the service of the characters and the story, and if they do not fully correspond to other details of other episodes, that’s good. The fans have become deeply attached to these characters because they are written and so well efficient and feel like our own neighbors, so a little suspension of disbelief concerning linear time will not do anything wrong. As long as Arlen’s good people learn from each other and make us laugh, “King of the Hill” does things well.
The renewal of the “King of the Hill” is now in trouble on Hulu.
