Will Smith and the remainder of the Banks household being useless the entire time on “The Recent Prince of Bel-Air” provides a darker tone to the light-hearted sitcom. Nevertheless, whereas this interpretation of the theme music means that Will dies in Philadelphia, it would not clarify principally the whole lot else in regards to the sequence.
For instance, the idea states that Will pleads and begs his mom to remain, which infers he is not able to die. However then why does his mother, Viola Smith (Vernee Watson), go to him periodically as early as Season 1, Episode 12 — “Speaking Turkey”? She’s a recurring character as much as Season 6, so it will be unusual for her to enter Heaven periodically, as if the afterlife has a revolving door coverage. Moreover, whereas Will lives in a pleasant home in Bel-Air, there’s nonetheless a ton of battle, which is critical for partaking plotlines. One would think about Heaven can be freed from strife except Will discovered himself in a simulated paradise meant to be torturous a la “The Good Place.”
Granted, a supernatural clarification could also be crucial for why Aunt Viv (Janet Hubert and Daphne Maxwell Reid) appears utterly totally different midway by means of the present’s run. Maybe God needs to combine issues as much as see if the remainder of the household notices. Because it stands, Will Smith might be very a lot alive all through “The Recent Prince of Bel-Air,” as his being useless is just too horrid a thought to think about.
