"I watched Gumby transition from man to woman, then from woman to man, and man to non-binary. Within an instant! My kid tried and broke their spine! We can't afford the hospital bills." - Concerned parent

It already ended on a perfect note. Just stick to Disenchantment and make that not funny instead.

Lol well the revival has about 1 good episode for every 10, so, I'm glad we're getting 2 new futurama episodes worth watching

I happen to be rewatching futurama currently and the comedy central episodes are just dire with very few exceptions. Bear Retrieval Unit has issued a correction as of 23:27 on Feb 9, 2022 |

A clip of The Batman came up on Youtube and I sat and watched it. It's the scene where the Riddler sends a car into a church and a guy with a bomb steps out. I think. I already forget. Anyway I don't know who Matt Reeves is, I'll google him after this shitpost, but my gut tells me this movie is going to suck. I dunno the direction seems kind of cheap and TV-ish.

i know it's dumb to be like "that wouldn't work that way" wrt The Righteous Gemstones but you can't just walk up to a cement truck that is clearly sitting without its drum spinning and just magically start pouring wet cement out of it. like maybe they just didn't show them doing all the prep work to get the cement ready but it's just implied that they turn the truck on and start pouring in the middle of the night.

Thinking about all the cheapest comedy writers money can buy doing a zoom conference, brainstorming how to break up Fry and Leela so the reboot can keep milking the all important will-they-won't-they plot.

yeah disenchanted is really weird. besides the voice acting which is fine, everything about it just feels like its in some uncanny valley of comedy. not even particularly aggressively bad comedy, just an entirely alien form of what humor is.

I like the concept and watched like 2 and half of the "seasons" but it never really seemed to find itself. which is a shame because Abbi Jacobson seems like a fine voice actress, yeah.

https://twitter.com/Pixar/status/1491068415439560704?s=20&t=jPuYPKVktIUwk_caBzLmcg One of the moments I think was most grim in recent American history was when people were on Twitter begging lame duck Donald Trump to spare Brandon Bernard from being executed. Meanwhile, Disney was doing live tweets of all the schlock it was announcing for the coming few years, and Chris Evans tweeted this: https://twitter.com/ChrisEvans/status/1337204197641629696?s=20&t=5wIXlVI-TF6DPPrsgp1LNg It was the perfect culmination of everything terrible in this country. You have poor people pleading with a demented, billionaire rapist to spare a young black guy's life, you have people losing their poo poo over the soulless garbage of effectively the only major movie company left, and you have nonsensical statements from the self appointed "Grand Centrist Understander of Hollywood".

That's right. Disenchantment's problem is that the tone is all over the place. The story will delve into worldbuilding and plot just for a quip or out of place joke to land with an inappropriate thud. The moment the plot starts getting interesting and you want to see where it's going, they'll do multi-episode digressions that don't go anywhere and aren't that funny on their own. It's not like it never gets a laugh out of me, but for a good comedy show you should expect a joke every minute or 2. If it only gets one chuckle out of me in 22 minutes then it's failing as a comedy, and if the plot is too distracted then it's also failing as an adventure story. A lot of it does work, but it never comes together. It's just too ill conceived.

I enjoyed the first and second revival as they are, but did not ask for a third. I'll tolerate it in part because I don't hold Futurama in such high regard. I was not that big of the Futurama fan as a huge Simpsons nerd, enjoying it less than even the teen seasons of The Simpsons. While there was plenty of geek meta humor on The Simpsons, I was bit more annoyed by it on Futurama since the setting only further encouraged it. Classic Simpsons was like comedy geeks writing for everyone. Futurama felt more like comedy geeks writing for comedy geeks, I guess.

He's a disgusting creepy useless twerpy annoying jerk! Isn't it funny how loathsome and unpleasant he is? Laugh! You're supposed to be laughing!" It's like they imported jerkass Homer without all the early season goodwill

I would also add that the animation looks like absolute poo poo too. Like it feels extremely low-budget cheaply done, which I'm okay with cheaply done like 12oz mouse if it's good, but the rest of it is not. i would add I thought season 1 was pretty decent, but season 2 was just god awful
