Sometimes... dead is better.

What is dead may never die. Futurama will probably be rebooted until enough of the voice actors die that it is no longer a viable series to reboot.

I used to love Futurama but the last season left a bit more to be desired. It didn't have the same energy as the earlier seasons.

I feel the same. I'm not here to yuck anyones yum, (I am glad folks are enjoying it) but the Futurama that came back from the dead wasn't the Futurama I fell in love with. Even though it stayed quite smart and nerdy... Perhaps later they leaned too hard into math nerd territory like with the body swap episode. Cool that they made an equation to make it work, but that's not "funny," just extremely nerdy.

Somehow, the Simpsons is still going.

They're running that sucker into the ground.

What is even going on in the Simpson. I never really got into that show. As a kid I think I liked it because kids are supposed to like cartoons. But it was never my go to show.

I never became interested in it as I got older.

It was a great commentary on 80's working class life. Kind of like a middle finger to all the traditional family shows, really anarchist if you see it in the context of late 80's television.

The new episode was good tho

Yeah, they crammed a lot of good jokes into that 24 minutes but it somehow didn't feel rushed (except the parts they played at 2x speed).

I liked it, not going to lie. There were some fun jokes and some of the same "blink and you'll miss it" but it didn't feel like it had the same soul as futurama used to. I'm excited for the rest of the season to see if they can hold up

2008 was just a series of four movies though, even though now it has been split into episodes. Those were one off to guage interest.

And sometimes undead is better. This thrice-reanimated monster keeps proving that cancelling often has nothing to do with quality.

What comic is this from? I don't really know anything about them and I really like the style this is in.

Yes, I watch men, but what about the comic?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

But who watches the Futurama fans?

What is the source comic of this?
