This is definitely Disney testing the waters to see how many Simpsons cast members they can fire. They're showing with Mandalorian/Boba Fett how easily they can replace live action actors with body and voice doubles and they want to do the same with animation.

Timby posted:A few minutes of deepfaked Luke Skywalker almost certainly cost a poo poo-ton more than the $300,000 or whatever the Simpsons cast gets per episode. It will most certainly be automatable and cheap within five years, especially if you're working with high-quality 3d scans and not archive footage.

Flesnolk posted:Also let DiMaggio and Disney kill each other for all I care. Boo hoo, someone comes out of it able to afford one less yacht. You side with the worker selling his creative skills over the corporation extracting workers' surplus value every time. Yes, even if his accumulated wealth gives him the material trappings of the capitalist class.

Flesnolk posted:You don’t even get to be an actor unless you were born into the capitalist class. This will be the first time he’s faced any adversity whatsoever and I have no sympathy. Capitalist class is different than net worth/income percentiles. It's a question of whether you get your money from being paid for your labor or from extracting value from the labor of others.

Kif Gets Knocked up a Notch and Where the Buggalo Roam (another episode that hasn't aged well) almost always get a skip from me. The only Kif plot I liked was him abusing Fry in War is the H-Word.

Yeah if you're gonna do covid jokes, they better be loving hilarious because all we had to do for months was make them. No easy pickings there.

muscles like this! posted:https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/futurama-john-dimaggio-bender-salary-1235677962/ quote:DiMaggio still speaks with pride as he recalls his fight: “When you’re David with a sling and you’re standing up to Goliath, you try to do what you can to get your side heard. I think I did.” It's a David and Goliath story. You know the one where David and Goliath have a frank exchange of views and David gives up because the Israelites cheered loudly enough?

"taint worth melting down" was a great line. I feel like they lampshade the jokes a bit more. Like Doge City could have been a background joke and Bender only needed to say "burrow" once

OldSenileGuy posted:Also, the eye-phone episode is actually a good episode aside from the ultra-cringey Susan Boil joke, which is actually a very small part of the episode. Proposition Infinity is good too. I said what I said. That ep's premise was pretty stale when it came out and, we'll, time makes fools of us all. I do miss when shows had time to make topical jokes before the six-hour Twitter cycle exhausted everything though.
