Some fans think Cory's point of view is extra important
On the r/boymeetsworld (https://www.reddit.com/r/boymeetsworld/) subreddit, u/potterhead6607 (https://www.reddit.com/r/boymeetsworld/comments/n0ui60/why_eric_got_dumber_as_the_show_progressed/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) offered their theory that Cory's point of view is the most important element of the series. "At the beginning of the show, Eric was seen as smart, cool, and good-looking. Topanga was a weirdo and nerdy," they pointed out. "The whole point of the show is that it is life through the eyes of Cory, so as he aged, he saw his brother for the idiot he really was. Also, as he aged, he started to see Topanga as pretty instead of weird."
When looked at this way, "Boy Meets World" becomes a very different show. The theory also offers an impressive new interpretation of the growth and changes that the central characters go through over the course of the series. "I like this theory. It also plays into how he saw Feeny as a staunch, boring, and strict teacher as a kid," said u/Smellmyhand (https://www.reddit.com/r/boymeetsworld/comments/n0ui60/comment/gw95p34/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) in agreement. "But then grew to know him as a loving and caring person and eventually became a teacher himself."
Even though this is just a fan theory, it has a remarkable way of changing how you see "Boy Meets World" and even its spin-off. Still, other viewers were more skeptical about this perception. "That's an awesome theory, but I think it's giving the writers too much credit," said u/Lit-Z (https://www.reddit.com/r/boymeetsworld/comments/n0ui60/comment/gwb3i8g/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) "The real reason is most likely that the writers just made him dumb because it's funny."
