The Dark Knight Rises

Mysterion has been compared to Batman before and the title of the episode is a pretty clear reference to The Dark Knight Rises. I expect reviews will mention this after the episode airs but even before the episode title was announced TV Fanatic predicted in their review Coon 2 that the titled would be Batman related but their guess was Coon 3: Coon Rising. I'm waiting until I have a better source, don't want to waste time edit warring over it, but others will make note of the titel in their previews of the episode. -- Horkana (talk) 01:48, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural References

I'll cite sources once they are available, but Cartman's interactions with Cthulhu evoke both The Neverending Story (Cthulhu's sneezing of Cartman off his belly, and Cartman's crawling back up), and My Neighbor Totoro (the flying sequence, the song, the playful interactions w/ Cthulhu).

That stuff on the belly is more from Totoro --especially the shot from the inside of Cthulhu's mouth looking out at Cartman. --Bobak (talk) 14:14, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I admit it's definitely more Totoro, but the references to TNS are shot-for-shot identical. Drpvfx (talk) 15:29, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The boxes in the rack at the cult meeting could be the boardgame Arkham Horror which has the Chtulhu mythos as topic. [[Special:Contributions/80.129.182.86|80.129.182.86talk) 07:34, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the Coohhoolloo song a referrence to the soap series "Passions".

No. WTF. It's a direct parody of the Totoro ending theme. The melody and vocal styles are the same, only the words have changed. The video is also similar, with the human riding the creature as if it were a vehicle (which is quite literal in Totoro).

Mysterion's identity being known

I'm not sure the people of South Park know the real identity of Mysterion, it could be someone else pretending to be Mysterion to calm the masses. (There was a clip of Kyle admitting to be Mysterion somewhere, but it was never aired and is thus not canon, nevertheless we don't know if Kenny really was the one to present himself, and Matt and Trey have "funny" humor so they may take advantage of this.)Lejman (talk) 12:05, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
