Can Matt Groening Recapture Lightning with New Futurama Episodes?
Betteridge's law of headlines says the answer is No, but I'm really hoping for a Yes as Hulu preps us for brand new Futurama, coming this July. While The Simpsons' absurdly long run continues -- 34 seasons and at least...
I'm happy they're giving it shot, regardless
he has twice before...
I hope so! I really liked the remake of Animaniacs that was on Hulu too.
How can the pandemic be only 3 years old yet already feel dated as a source of humor? Maybe it’s the 18 months we spent living every day on repeat or the subject’s been beaten into the ground, but jokes about Q-tips are a bit tired. That one minor gripe aside, I’m excited for new Futurama.
That's exactly what I felt watching the trailer.
In their defence, the development cycles are quite long… takes a while to write a script, animate it, and voice it. But I do fear that it will be a shadow of its former self. 10 years is a long time.
I found COVID era storytelling to be very interesting 1.5yrs ago, now it feels very old.
It will be worse than the original Guild Strike, you could only kinda notice something was off watching late 00's content, now it will be too obvious.
That being said, in a couple decades it'll be interesting for generations that weren't born yet.
I don't think anything will recapture the magic of the original run. That being said, all the revivals have been good to great. There are some excellent episodes in the revival seasons. I have a deep attachment to these characters, and if they can achieve at least what they did last time I'll be more than happy.
Actually, I don't like the first two seasons much. And I know I'm in the minority for that. But I also have a very deep attachment to those characters.
Yes.
This is a reminder to watch all Futurama episodes again!
Considering I don't really think they did the other 3 times, I'm going to say probably not. To me the series ends with Devil's Hands. The rest is fine once a year, but it's not on an almost continuous loop like S1-5
The title made me confused. I've had season 8 sitting on Plex for a couple of months now. It turns out someone leaked it and Sonarr just did its job and downloaded everything early.
Are you sure? None of my trackers has it. But there is season 6 titled as season 8. There is some inconsistency with season numbering.
You're right. I just check them and they appear to be mis-numbered. Super confusing because IMDB lists there being 11 seasons, while TVDB lists only 7. The episodes conformed to IMDB, but not TVDB.
It's down to the writers, I'm hopeful for a good series for once, and not just a half arsed cash grab which is the norm for Hollywood at the moment
I hope so, but I also hope I can give it a fair chance. The original run is so deeply etched into my brain that it's hard for me to accept anything new
I've been entertained every other time so far strangely enough, I assume I'm not alone considering this is what, reboot 4 now? Lmao
No.
