I thought it was weird that Futurama did a Susan Boyle story in 2010 because I thought for sure her time in the spotlight had been like almost a decade earlier. Time really does keep on skipping!

I can't be objective when it comes to Futurama, I've seen the original run a trillion times, I enjoyed the movies and the comedy central episodes, and I am looking forward to the new bunch. I just love the show and even my least favorite episodes have things I find funny so July can't come soon enough.

Though I am curious to what point they are going to reset back to, the professor said they would revert back to when he created his time rewinder, but I always got the feeling that meant they would rewind to a time before the episode is set

LividLiquid posted:Futurama is an American show made by Americans. We knew who Susan Boyle was. She was everywhere for a minute. On TV and viral on all forms of social media as a feel-good story that super wasn't. It was just a reminder that we expect everybody to be model pretty. Ye but I'm replying to the people saying they didn't know who she was. For me that's like the people who're surprised in the Crown when Diana dies.

Time really does keep on skipping! Quite a bit of the revival made me feel like the creators were now too old. Very "remember this from a decade ago" vibes all over the place Whereas Futurama itself didn't really have that for me

Hopefully they just keep Meanwhile as the actual finale (insofar the timeline of events in the show matters) and these new episodes just take place an undisclosed time before that episode. It doesn't really need too much explaining/mentioning unless they explicitly do so in their new-new-final episode or something down the road.

I am extremely morbidly curious about the "Zapp Gets Canceled" episode. I need to see that episode, just like I needed to see every episode of Allen Gregory.

Not only will we get a new series finale, it will somehow involve Seymour Asses trying to take over the world.

Clone High just came back after twenty years, and the first episode was literally “Abe Gets Canceled”. So you could watch that if you want a preview, but I strongly don’t recommend it.

How bad is it on a scale of 1 to "Old Man Yells at Cloud"? I am dreading this Zapp episode because the title alone tells me all I need to know.

I didn't think the Clone High episode was bad, it was more about how language has changed in 20 years. Saying something is gay or retarded as a pejorative was normal in 2003, and regularly saw that in mainstream TV until like maybe 2010. So the main character keeps using that language and suffers the consequences. There were a few digs about being "overly sensitive" but it wasn't nearly as bad as a lot of people are claiming.

He makes a TikTok video apology. At least they did a funny bit with a “cancel corner” of the cafeteria and stuck Marilyn Manson and Andy Dick’s character there.

The only shred of hope we have is that it's Zapp. It has a slim chance of not being awful on the issue because it likely isn't what these stories usually are: a "nice" person, utterly blameless, caught up in a misunderstanding, as a way of telling we the audience that holding people accountable for the poo poo they did and never ever so much as apologized for that we're the assholes for bullying the poor millionaire by talking about how harmful some poo poo they did was.

Since he's in the teaser for the Crypto Wild West episode, I'd like to know why they think that the Borax Kid needs to keep showing up.

For whatever it's worth, I hated the original Solar Opposites trailer and didn't watch the show for a couple of years because of it, but ended up liking the show once I did. Maybe Hulu is bad at making trailers for shows.

Remember when the Matrix came out and bullet time blew everyone's mind, then every movie either did it or made fun of it for the next decade and a half? Now imagine a show coming out after all that and making fun of bullet time and thinking they're being the pinnacle of comedy.

Comedy trailers almost always suck poo poo because they go for the most low hanging fruits that people will recognize. It’s a bad trailer and the show might still be poo poo, but I don’t think this very surface level trailer is much of an indication of anything.
