If Bender thinks he's so great why was he trying to kill himself?
he didn't
making friends with fry and leela made him feel great

Because it's lonely at the top
>>93717272
Many great people have killed themselves.
>>93717272
Because not every suicide is caused by dire lack of self-esteem.
It's a bit hard to grasp in your condition, OP.

I buy into the theory that when Bender gets electrocuted his programming resets to match his surroundings, like when he 'became' a penguin.
In the first episode he was depressed and debatably normal, then he gets shocked whilst around all the criminals in the Head Museum.
And he was never the same again

So why didn't he ever revert to his old persona instead of getting gradually worse?
>>93718687
Maybe Planet Express and its crew is shady enough for him to stay a criminal slacker

are you okay, anon?
>>93717272
Flanderization
>>93717272
repressed homosexuality
>>93717272
Cause it's the world that's shit.
Is a sidebar okay? Did Tony Stark ever appear in a ToS/IM comic with drink AND cigarette in hands at same time in a panel?

In the very first episode before Bender got electrocuted, his eyes were white and he tried to kill himself after finding out all the girders he bent went into the construction of all the suicide booths lying around
Post electric shock, they turned slightly more yellow and his immorality kept spiking up from there. I don't think it was a programming reset but it certainly caused a new spark of something different.
