I for one am happy Genndy has come to his senses and realized people cared about spear and fang and not “GENNDY’S HECKIN ANTHOLOGY”

Better yet is seeing the people ragging over "GENNDY SHOULD HAVE DONE A SEASON FOCUSING ON SPEAR'S DAUGHTER, NOT HIM!!"

I really liked that interview btw. Genndy actually adressed criticism, was humble as fuck, and then went on long tirades where he geeked out over pulp stories and other cool stuff.

B-but the show is called Primal, not the Spear and Fang show, it was never ever actually about them!
>>
It would actually be really cool if they did an episode where Zombie Spear bumps into his alive daughter who's having her own badass dinosaur adventures.
>>
Grogu should have left the show when the Mandalorian delivered him to Luke. His arc was over.

Yeah I'm fucking pleasantly shocked and surprised. Nobody does this. Nobody course corrects, nobody listens to fans, nobody cares about criticism. It just doesn't happen anymore. Animations just do the opposite of what fans want.
It's strange to see this and it's a good feeling, but unfamiliar at this point.

This show is getting a third season? I thought it was done.
I'm surprised Lazlo is pushing this. Lazlo is still the CEO right? Not that it matters. If Lazlo is replaced, it'll be with a Lazlo 2.0, like Susan Wojseekeebreekee or whatever her name was and Neal Mohan.
Har de har har. Remember when Susan removed the dislike button after her fucking YouTube rewind video got mass disliked and made her look like another classic CEO disconnected from the user base? A real Reddit moment.

>>151032247
The difference is that mando season 2 had a good and satisfying finale, primal season 2 had neither. It’s a good ending being undone vs a shitty ending being undone.

Whether you like the ending or hate the ending, they're going to milk him until you hate him.

My criticism of Primal was that it was just kind of pointless wandering risking untimely death from increasingly bizarre horrors for no reason or purpose if they never actually found a family to replace the one they lost.

Fang did so and Spear at least reproduced so he already won. I'm fine with the adventures continuing I don't really get why it was so important for Spear to got BBQd.

Most of the criticism I remember about season 2 was fags who never touched Conan the Barbarian seething over Mira and bronze age tech in this obvious Hyborian age ass setting. It's only going to get more and more prevalent than it already was.
>>
>>151031753
Man, you guys are pretty silly. I've no real dog in either side, I thought S2's finale was a decent end to Spear's story, that the show didn't need to continue at all and was pretty satisfying as is, and that S3 happening and in this way is a nice little surprise that I appreciate. For you guys, to be so buttmad that Spear died at all, it just reeks of childishness. It's never whether Spear dying was well-handled or whether it was bad for the story, it's just whether Spear died at all, and that's how 10yos think about stories.
>>
>>151032344
I liked most of season 2, it’s just the stupid filler episode in the middle and the rushed, unsatisfying ending that I hated.

The term was created by a schizo but it is appropriate, genndrones like you pushed this idea that everyone who didn’t like those parts of season 2 just didn’t get it or were not smart enough to. As if people didn’t understand the nonexistent subtleties of those episodes. Anyone who questioned the idea of abandoning the shows original premise got hit with this nonsense:>>151032172

You did this for years. And now Genndy actually agrees with those people who “don’t get it” and is working to undo those mistakes. Maybe it’s you guys who didn’t get it. Maybe it’s you guys who insisted that the ending was actually secretly genius and that Primal Theory would come back and be important later on that were wrong.

And now the show is 100% about Spear and Fang forever, no anthology for redditors and YouTubers to jerk themselves off over how smart they are for “getting it”. No amount of begging in comments sections for “more Charles and Darlington!” will get you that. The Reddit Theory is now even more useless than it was before and it’s never coming back.

Cope and sneed.

>>
>>151031753
I would have preferred an anthology. I thought that Spear being dead meant that there would definitely be no further adventures with Spear. When I saw the trailer, I admit I did think “oh yeah, I guess reanimating Spear to bring him back as a zombie makes about as much sense in this setting as anything else.” But I still also think it’s a copout.

I dunno if I want to watch the new season. Again, I would have been down for the speculated anthology route. But this? I’m less interested.

What is this?

Who cares season 2 already ruined the show

I don't mind if Season 3 properly concludes Spear's story and, if Genndy still feels like it, Season 4 takes the anthology route.

thats one bigass bug

No it wasn't. Genndy is given carte blanche to do whatever he wants at Adult Swim.
>>
>>151036633
Same here
>>
>>151032354
Genndy is too fucking based, he genuinely seems like a guy who cares about the quality of his work and what fans want from it. I literally can't think of any other creators that do this
>>
>>151038727
>the dog fucking movie guy is based
yeah no
>>
>>151032653
>was that it was just kind of pointless wandering risking untimely death from increasingly bizarre horrors for no reason or purpose
I don't really see how that was an issue, mainly in S1, since each episode was its own self contained story with the clear goal of surviving whatever fucked up threat spear and fang had to face. Plus their relationship was the real draw
>>
>>151032653
Spear didn't need to get BBQ'd, but it was a cheap way of getting him out of the way for aged up Speara and dino adventures. I suspect Genndy wanted to keep drawing man and dinos on the move being PRIMAL, and raising a family including interactions with Mira's village would force them all to remain in one area and be boring. tbqhwy I wouldn't have minded Spear and Fang anthologies until the end with no family because they're best bros.

I’m happy we are seeing more of Fang’s big beautiful ass.

Nah, I thought the anthology idea would be cool.

There is no fixing what killed the show.

We cannot go back to spear and fang not speaking, struggling against the wilderness. Man vs nature.

By introducing civilization, language, subsistence technology and weapons they destroyed the premise. Whether it was genndy who wanted to do that or female executives who didn’t connect with the initial premise well never know.

Season two was everything we complained it would likely be and it was awful. I didn’t even watch to the end. I have no interest in season 3.

Fuck genndy
Fuck CN
Fuck anyone who claims the show wasnt ruined with the season one finale.

I'd be fine with an anthology series, Genndy could do some cool shit about WW1 or a lord of the flies ripoff or something, but I don't think it should be called Primal. That's about Spear and Fang and their universe. Maybe Primal: Subtitle if it is very obvious that it is set in the same universe at different time periods, not just modern day earth, but that would also mean no using real historical events.
I'm also glad to have another stab at Spear's story, I found the ending kinda terrible last time. Not because of the weird charred sex, that was actually really surprising and I thought it was a cool choice, it's rare that a show manages to actually shock me like that and poses some interesting questions once you get over the initial reaction. The whole thing was just clumsy and rushed and overly focused on Mira and her tribe making making Fang feel like an afterthought and Spear feel like he was getting brushed aside narratively for convenience because they added too much shit to the setting they couldn't figure out how to make him interact with interestingly, so the finale with his daughter riding off into the sunset as a replacement that doesn't have any of his limitations as a caveman seemed like a copout.
A sequel is just a good idea because it makes all that shit actually matter, now Genndy has to actually think about how he will respond to getting ridden as his last living act, how he can navigate a more advanced world, how his daughter being half neanderthal affects her growth and place in these societies, etc. Maybe don't base the entire thing on Spear going "Mira..." and chasing her around this time.
It'll still have flaws I'm sure, I like Genndy but he just can't help himself when it comes to female characters sometimes, but I'm pretty confident the series will be better off afterwards.
>>
I fucking hate this place
Instead of simply saying “cool! Zombie Spear!” You all have to screech at each other trying to prove WHY Genndy did/didn’t do this
>>
>>151031797
Where can I read the interview, btw? Genndy is based. I always love it when an industry guy can admit their faults. Any company or person that can go, "Yeah, I fucked that up, but I am willing to make changes." should instantly be canonized as a Saint in this fucking bitch of an Earth where no one takes responsibility for anything.
>>
>>151047203
As someone who hated the anthology idea, I agree. If there were a spinoff of Primal with a different title or a subtitle I’d be fine with it, it’s a new show so whatever. My problem was taking an existing show and story and changing it after a couple seasons into something completely different. If he still wants to make an anthology later make it a spinoff. Have Primal be about Spear and Fang and Primal: Whatever be the anthology series.
