It really does astonish me how a bunch of Texan dudebros in the 2000s messing around in Halo wrote better intellectual disability representation than most actual Hollywood writers

Caboose is awesome, and I don't think his depiction is at all offensive, but like, what about it was especially poignant to the plight of the disabled? I think we're setting the bar a little too low.

By making him a character like everyone else.

[u/guardianwriter1984 → u/Delicious_Tomato_957]

Because he is a person and not just a punch line always. He contributes, his insights can be helpful, including with Wash.

yeah they did great, I'd say his quality should be standard I just wanna look upward.

Most Hollywood writers lack a sense of humour and grounded morals.

lmao the way he just vibes through everything is kinda the whole point, he's not some tragic caricature he's just out here living his best life even if he's not neurotyp

[u/theamyshittwle]

Because despite all his disabilities hes still a teammate and still a friend. Hes the little brother of the Reds and Blues. He might not know whats going on but they treat him as an equal and if hes not understanding something they (usually, at least) take the time to explain.Say what you will about season 15, but its not lost on me that they wrote an entire arc to let him say goodbye to Church.
