South Park: The Fractured But Whole - 10 Most Notable Character Omissions

5. The Super Best Friends

Three of the Super Best Friends do actually appear in The Fractured But Whole - Moses appears as a summon that can heal the party, whilst Sea-Man gives players a side quest to help a gay fish (who is blatantly meant to be Kanye West but is an actual fish rather than the rendition of West seen in the series, perhaps for legal fears) get his mother into heaven, where Jesus makes a blink-and-you'll-miss-him cameo.

Given that the Super Best Friends are a blatant Justice League parody, seeing them appear in a far more prominent role in a game that functions as a pastiche of the superhero genre would've been a logical expectation.

For obvious reasons, Muhammad wouldn't have been allowed to appear despite Trey Parker and Matt Stone's insistence that nothing should be off-limits from satire (having now been censored twice by Comedy Central for trying to depict him despite the fact that he appeared in a season five episode with no controversy whatsoever).

Buddha, Joseph Smith, Krishna and Laozi could've nevertheless been utilised alongside Jess and Sea-Man, perhaps feeling threatened by the emergence of Coon And Friends and the Freedom Pals and challenging them for franchise superiority. Allowing players to fight religious figures certainly would've been controversial, but it definitely would've given the game another 'OMG moment'.

Plus, who wouldn't want even more Sea-Man/semen jokes?
