“You can’t just have the characters say what they feel…that makes me angry”. Is this Hulu only or is FX/FXX picking it up? ---

If anything can entice me to subscribe to Hulu, it’s this. I’m not there yet, but I could be. ---

> [@Jophiel](#): > > Covid and Crypto jokes make me hope they don’t lean too hard into ‘contemporary humor’ based episodes. When re-watching classic _Futurama_ episodes, I’ve noticed it is starting to feel kind of dated, particularly the ones that used then-contemporary humor, like references to Napster and American Online floppy disks. ---

Fun start. * * * * * * Cartoon revivals are pretty common anyway. Flintstones, Jetsons and Scooby Doo have had many many versions as three good examples. ---

I liked episode 2 more than episode 1. More character/plot centric instead of just parodying current culture. It is interesting when a show can have a throwaway line about something supposed to happen 20 years later, then actually revisit it 20 years later. ---

If I’m not in this season it just won’t be Glorious. > [@Fear\_the\_Turtle](#): > > “You can’t just have the characters say what they feel…that makes me angry”. Personally, I find that it’s the concept of “Wuv” that confuses and enrages me. ---

I’m liking it. Episode 1 was a bit heavy on the self-referntial jokes about being renewed again, but it’s still very much Futurama and it’s nice to have more Futurama.
