General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

[Butters]

It pisses me off because I purchased the complete set on itunes and now I feel like it's tarnished

 

[Hoss]

It doesn't have nearly as good writing as it used to. The plots of the episodes are a bit lazy, the classic one-liners aren't there, and they aren't doing enough character development/world building for my taste. But like... it's fine. I don't hate it.

 

[Hoss]

Also doing far too much uncreative parodying of real world shit for my taste too. Like over half of the episodes that have come out have had something to do with actual recent events or social issues and they're kinda just repeating jokes that have already been made about them

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I’m 5 episodes behind. More than I thought

 

[Hoss]

 

[Hoss]

Well you'll have those to watch when you're looking for something I reckon

yeah youve mentioned this a few times and I agree thats not what Futurama was before. its not supposed to be simpsons in space

 

[Comrade Khan]

[Death By Looch]

Fuck

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Probably watch them the next day my dads off work since I watched the others with him, or at least watch what we can on other days before he’s gotta sleep

 

[Hoss]

Yeah that's a fairly reasonable comparison

 

[Hoss]

They've done episodes on binge-watching/streaming/reviving series, crypto, Amazon, cancel culture and COVID already and it's only been 8 episodes

 

[Hoss]

I want more lore and shit

 

[Death By Looch]

So

 

[Death By Looch]

Futurama still has only 7 seasons then
