I really don't give a fuck if you thought the new futurama reboot was good, just use it as an excuse to draw frender porn like we all wanted in the first place??

How tf is Futurama literally exactly the same in every conceivable way after 10 years. EXACTLY the same. Like no time has passed at all. It’s insanely impressive how consistent this show is.

Here’s my longer review:

LIGHT SPOILERS

It’s amazing. I would not notice a shred of difference without the knowledge this is 10 years later (beside the fact they reference the show being cancelled like they always do). Nothing has changed.

Legitimately the most notable change was that Hermes voice sounds slightly off (still obviously the same guy but he’s probably just older). He had like 4 lines though so it’s hard to say it’s really a change.

I loved the way the episode acknowledges the time passing and the previous episode in terms of overall status quo changing plot. It makes sense while still placing it in July 3023 and that’s cool. Although the episode’s plot was resolved in a very silly way that makes it kinda hard to buy, the jokes were consistently funny (especially the professor), the events were creative and escalated well, and plots concluding oddly is pretty on track for this show. Which leads to my last point.

Literally all my problems with the episode are the same I have with the rest of the series. For example, although they explicitly show the events of the previous finale, after the reset they do not acknowledge Fry and Leela’s relationship directly. Other characters still act as though they’re dating though. I’d say that’s weird and disappointing but frankly that’s what the show’s been doing for 26 years: barely focusing on the relationship and keeping in the background unless it’s the focus. They seriously dedicated themselves to making it EXACTLY the same. No improvements and no losses in quality of any kind.

Amy even had all the bad jokes! That’s how you know it’s the same old Futurama.

Overall, I’m shocked this exists and I love the comeback so far.

The writers have got a lot of nerve ending the first episode of the revival with this quote.

What made the first four seasons of Futurama so great is that, it was a show that didn't give a shit about staying current.

Now it's just like modern Simpsons, struggling to stay relevant in a time where the majority of audiences are getting sick and tired of pop culture references and "Meta" humor.

FIRST NEW EPISODE OF FUTURAMA IS OUT NOWWWWWWWWWWW

You can tell they're doing a lot of set-up, but it's so so so fun. The tiny throwaway visual gags are there, they've got the same brand of topical humor as ever, and it's good. I am so ready for next week already.

Fantober Day 20 - "Future" Welcome to the world of tomorroooow

[thowawayuntilfurthernotice]

The worst thing about Futurama's COVID episode is how dull it is.

Say what you will about Decision 3012, but at least that episode did a decent job of satirizing Obama birther conspiracies.

Rage Against The Vaccine (dumb episode title by the way) doesn't do anything clever or interesting when it comes to satirizing COVID and the insanity that was 2020.

And yes, I did legit groan when they made a reference to the Omicron variant.

It really sucks seeing a show like Futurama suffer the same fate as modern Simpsons, where it's clearly long past its prime and is struggling to find relevance in an era where the general public has long since moved on.

I tried giving the Hulu revival a chance, I really did, but the episodes just aren't very good.

One of my Futurama groups has a thread for spoilers. I'm waiting for my husband to come home to start the new season. But so far, here's a cute joke:

Clunky robot standup comedian: “What is the deal with nonbinary robots?” (Crowd filled with desktop computers boos) “Oh, PC crowd.”

(I’m powerless to resist awful puns.)
