Opinion by Molly Roberts: “It’s a move undoubtedly designed to offer closure to fans from preschooler to professional. But maybe closure is exactly what we didn’t need.”
“the world’s most popular student aardvark” has apparently become a fledgling graphic novelist with an even less fledged goatee. His sister, the perennial pest D.W., has become … a cop? Buster the bunny is a drably dressed teacher; self-proclaimed tough guy and secret softie Binky Barnes the bulldog is a journalist.None of this feels wrong enough in the details that fans could claim character inconsistency or any other storytelling faux pas.
The whole point was for these little creatures to be full of possibility: They could become anything. But with the finale, this open door is closed. This is where our last glimpse of “Arthur” feels a bit like a betrayal. “Arthur” admirers who cried out against the cancellation of a program most of them hadn’t watched since before the iPod was invented probably weren’t upset that their favorite insectivore was getting yanked off the air without a proper conclusion. More likely, they were upset that the story was getting yanked off the air, period — because they had sort of assumed, without thinking, that it would never conclude.
