https://tvline.com/interviews/family-guy-giant-chicken-dead-ernie-death-explained-1235528227/But in the world of Family Guy, where Peter and other main characters have been “killed” countless times, would Ernie’s death really stick? Seven months after “The Chicken or the Meg” first aired, we finally have our answer.“I think that the chicken has gone the way of all flesh,” executive producer Alec Sulkin confirms to TVLine. “Honestly, I feel like we got so many great set pieces out of the giant chicken fighting with Peter that they became hard to top. It’s a lot to ask of our production crew, and we may have just gotten the best out of that character.”Only a handful of recurring characters have truly died on Family Guy, the most recent being Stewie’s classroom nemesis Doug (voiced by Chris Parnell), who was killed off-screen in a commuter plane crash in Season 21
He'll come back as a cyborg or something, surely
>>150710647>*sigh*>Somehow.....Giant Chicken returned
>>150710688Complete with Robot Chicken jokes directed at Chris.
>>150710705Oh. Yeah this is 100% happening.
Does this make Meg planet buster?Peter fought Homer and both regenerated after a nuke.Chicken fights evenly with Peter, ergo if Meg beats the chicken she is stronger than both.
>>150710647I really hate what they did with Meg. Like somehow Family Guy of all things latched onto the badass girl gimmick with her, so now you get her coming into the joke, him saying he won't fight her cause she's a girl, and permanently killing off the decades long running gag with her ending it.Why are writers like this.
>>150710738Not really. Chicken said he doesn’t fight girls. So he just let Meg kill him probably.
This is going to be one of those things they end up ignoring later because his bit is too iconic with the history of the show to not reference him every so often, he got a fucking Fortnite skin over other characters for example. Notice how Alec is phrasing it as "I think, we may", because he likely doesn't know if they will stop, but is just saying shit because he personally is tired of him.Completely dumb to try and explain something like this in a show like FG anyways. Just silently take a break from the character instead of trying to explain "he's actually dead now so don't expect more!".
>>150710738Homer is on par with God as he effortlessly stopped Lisa from being raptured just by grabbing her. So he's really divine strength level
Huh? didn't he die of cancer?
>>150710647just got a tattoo of the giant chicken on my arm
Remember when Brian died?
>>150710647>Meg would have actually fucked the chicken's son eventually
Heaven forbid anyone see a titty.
>>150710647Could Meg solo the HST?
Post Meg destroying a mountain.
>>150710902also remember when some internet dumbfuck retard got a tattoo of brian.. and probably hung himself later when brian was back from the dead...
>>150710822Look at her fists. She did all that by punching. Doesn't matter if he doesn't fight girls, he lost.
>>150711228niggas never heard of tattoo removal
The real explanation is>Family Guy is now so expensive to produce that we can't even afford to have one well-animated sequence per seasonIsn't it?
I...don't care.The only Family Guy news that would raise an eyebrow is hearing that it's finally over.
>>150710647The Family Guy staff always say one thing and go back on it later. The chicken will come back when they have an idea for him for an episode.
>>150710647>“Honestly, I feel like we got so many great set pieces out of the giant chicken fighting with Peter that they became hard to top. It’s a lot to ask of our production crew, and we may have just gotten the best out of that character.”You can easily read between the lines and see that the actual reason is that they don't have the budget or talent (such as it is) to animate these giant elaborate action scenes anymore. The chicken died because of budget cuts.
>>150710738You deserve to be killed.
>>150712408>It’s a lot to ask of our production crewIt's a lot to ask the Family Guy crew to put in just a crumb of effort
>>150712673Too bad you'll never get the chance. My punches are equal to 17 trillitons of tnt. That makes me more powerful than you.
>>150710688>>150710705>>150710723They should just make a crossover special where it's 1 hour of 2D characters fighting Stop-Motion Puppets.CN is only sticking to making yearly specials so they might as well go big on this idea.
>>150710868Why would Lisa get raptured, she's Buddhist?
Family Guy movie will have the chicken August 2029
>>150710647if they don't use this as robot chicken setup the writers should be fired. basic competency test.
>>150710749she kinda deserves it after years of being the punching bag. i'd agree if it were any other character
So his wife is single?
>>150713227Only 17? My punches are 5 hyperdimensional structures operating on the platonic realm (this is the equivalent of 2000 trillion icarus innac cardinals worth of tnt!)
>>150715382least degenerate Family Guy gooner
>>150710705>>150710723this would happen if it was still 2008
That's retarded. The entire premise of the Giant Chicken is that he always comes back. And why would you kill off a fan favorite anyway?
>>150710647MegaTron: 1 Chicken: 0
>>150710647Vaxxed?
>>150713596She’s special
>>150716601Are these just Bots?I see this shitty meme reposted randomly in a clearly lolsorandom context everywhere now
He's in Fortnite, it's okay.
someone please post the Halloween special
>>150717866That’s even worse
>>150710647Who cares?
