Futurama is my spouse and sons favorite show. It’s been nice bonding over it.
Does anyone else think it just doesn’t hit the same when it’s not 4:3 and slightly blurry? Don’t get me wrong I love the show, and new content will probably be good, just curious if others feel the same about the aesthetic hah

I hope it returns to season 1-3 quality, but if I am being honest i am not very optimistic about it :(
I’m going to look at it like pizza. Pizza is great. Good pizza is awesome. Meh pizza still does the job. Bad pizza is extremely rare.
Yes! Even if it’s just ‘okay,’ well it’s still more Futurama and they’d really have to butcher it for it to end up ‘bad.’
Beast with a million backs or whatever was pretty mediocre.
I liked the first half. The part that didn’t have the beast.
I like this POV. Meh pizza is still pizza, better than most other things.
Less than stellar Futurama is still going to wind up being my favorite current television show.
I hope it doesn’t disappoint! But I’m feeling optimistic I think it’ll be great.
I trust that the actors, animators, writers and producers involved with the comeback are invested enough in it to do good work. Worst case scenario we get some half decent Futurama. But yeah it’s definitely important that we don’t hype things like this, I’ve been burned enough times
last time I heard about this like a year ago they couldn’t get the voice of bender back, did that change? or is the voice cast new?
Yes, they got the original voice of Bender back. John DiMaggio rightly felt they were lowballing him with their offer, and held out for a better one, which he apparently was able to snag.
He didn’t get a raise, although him and the rest of the VA crew probably should have. He did say he was happy to ignite some discussion about it, even if he didn’t get the pay bump.
I’m sad he didn’t get it, but happy he’s playing Bender. A different VA per episode would have been interesting, I admit, but I would prefer John in the role 10 out of 10 times.
But why did they have to put it on one of the fifty billion streaming services? Ugh. One day we’re going to learn that television and movies should be like music: all of it available from few sources (each having all/nearly all) that is free with ads and you can pay to remove ads, like, you know, Spotify. I refuse to constantly pay for every streaming service for however long just because something on it pops up that I want to watch. It’s annoying and pointless.
Now, if it was in the form of a suppository…
But why did they have to put it on one of the fifty billion streaming services?
Hulu is paying for it.
