Did you like it? And who were those two old couples they kept cutting to at the Party in the last ep?
>>219708052I thought it was pretty good. But its success (plus the Scrubs reboot’s success) means that every sitcom from the early 2000s is getting a legacy sequel now.
>>219708052Outside of the gender stuff I felt like that it was genully a good continuation of the story, like a natural progression but at the same time it felt nothing like malcom, only when AL was on screen it was still like having those B plots but seems like the writer didn't really understood the B plots of the original they were wacky but the actors really did a great job while the new I liked only AL when he was talking with himself.In general it was nice seeing the original cast back but it felt like that episode of Family guy where they "reboot the family guy" but only with Chris and Trica Takanawa.
>>219708052I just can’t believe they made Francis trans
>>219708191The Francis plots were to pad episodes because of child labor laws. Child actors can only be on set 8 hours a day, which isn’t much time at all when making a TV show. It takes hours just to get a set ready to film a scene. So by giving Francis a subplot every week, you didn’t have to worry about wrangling kids.
>>219708191>the writer didn't really understood the B plots of the original The actual creator of the show wrote the newepisodes
>>219708052s'ok
>>219708191the gender stuff wasnt TOO on the nose for me. if i remember right there was her first scene where hal and lois use her pronouns, malcolm refers to her as non-binary once to tristan, and then her part of the video at the part. still unnecessary and contributes nothing to the overall plot, but not horrible
>>219708052It was mostly good, but my problem is this >>219708797Too much Hal. Not enough Malcolm. Nevermind the huge amount of other characters with barely any screentime
>>219710820The locked out of heaven cover was amusing at first. Then it kept going. And going. And going.Like the joke was that we the audience had to sit and watch Cranston sing for 3 minutes. And that was it. Who the fuck writes this shit?
>chuds constantly spamming that it's all trannified>Kelly's barely in it and is just a tomboy with one cringe scene about her dumb pronouns>despite that she steals every scene she's inI don't get it. Was the chudposting reverse psychology?
>>219708253It blew my mind to realise that Francis was only like 13/14 in season 1. I assumed he was supposed to be 16/17
>>219708052Malcom in name only. Didnt have the same tone, or even color pallet, for that matter. The music was horrible too.
>>219711043>dude, microdosing!
>>219708253Yes, we all saw reese's actor interview on youtube
>>219710820Wouldn't be surprised if Cranston's love for the character was the driving force behind the revival getting funded. Which is why Cranston had carte blanche with the script.
>>219710820>>219711249It's sort of like if Neil Flynn had led the Scrubs reboot and made up most of the runtime.
Cranston is so full of himself these days, it felt like he hijacked this whole thing and then played a caricature of himself.
>Craig Feldspar was around my current age during the show's original run>doesn't feel like MITM ended all that long ago>now he looks like thisAnd before I know it, I too will be ready for the retirement home.
yea it was cool overall. nice mini show. nothing particularly wrong with it
>>219708052Honestly, it was kind of good. I just hope they don’t make any more, because if they do, it’ll probably be bad. The special was only good because of nostalgia from the old cast. You could only do so much with nostalgia
>>219708052I love Malcolm in the Middle so I won't be watching this modern slop and taint my memories of the original.
>>219708052My mom and I watched the original show a lot when I was younger. We drank a bunch of beer the day it came out and watched all four episodes back to back and it was actually a really fun time. I wish it was longer actually
>>219708052I thought it was fine. The humour is still there just updated a bit for modern sensibilities so it was a bit more gentle. I was 17 when it came out and I don’t go bleating on about how it was jokered just because the first few seasons were phenomenal. How anyone thinks the original could have possibly worked in the modern day is just stupid. To;dr: it was better than it had any right to be
>>219712656>just updated a bit for modern sensibilities so it was a bit more gentleGayIt was fairly tame to begin with
>>219712726It was at the time but you couldn’t do a lot of that these days, not a hope. I was impressed they were cursing Spengler as a punchline since the actor is dead but it definitely worked I universe and blokes would definitely see that as a good send off.
>>219708127Could be cool, maybe they'll do Frasier next! Oh wait... oh.
>Lois is a manipulative schizophrenic that got off too easy for the sake of making that generation of moms feel a little better about themselves before they die. >Hal was well-delivered and clearly written by fans who didn't really grasp the character, mainly performing lip service to Cranston himself. >Reese, Francis, Piama didn't have much major going on but are clearly being set up to be the most present characters in the new show, following the "next gen" cast. >Tristan is cool. Fun, cute and a little edgy. Looking forward to the inevitable plotline where Cynthia returns for a season and the two women go at it so Malcolm has to choose between them. It'd be funny if they both left him and got with each other. >Leah and Kelly were cool. They're obviously really banking on the Krelboyne kid to be the next Sheldon Cooper. They're alright and will be worth watching more of. >Putting Dewey on a laptop the whole time is a sort of funny in-joke for the cast and fans. I wouldn't mind seeing them do more with him, it's clearly time to leave the Per Sullivan stuff alone, let the guy live his life. The new guy played the character well. >Malcolm is a constant reminder of the modern world we are trapped in. Muniz performed the character exactly. Enough vision to see every gear turning in the machine that's made to crush him. All in all I liked it a lot. It succeeded at doing what it set out to do; life is and will always be unfair.
>>219711566if you're that fat you better get ready for a casket instead
>>219708052Is there a tranny in the show or not?
>>219712812Didn't Spangler die in the original run due to Francis accidentally killing him or something?
>>219714700No. She's not a tranny. There's a cringe scene where she's like muh pronouns.Otherwise she's just a normal tomboy.
>>219714720Spangler lost his other hand iirc. Don't think he died in the show
>>219714802That scene was so unnecessary, and it didn’t feel like Malcolm
>>219710945>>despite that she steals every scene she's infaggot simp
>>219708127>>219708191>>219712656gay disney shills
>>219712985empty blather
>>219714998It felt out of character for her in general. The rest of the episodes she's abrasive and conniving. She unsympathetically tells Leah that she's not surprised she has no friends.But then that scene and the video where she's crying about realising she was non-binary is like a completely different (much less interesting) character
none of the new characters worked
>>219708052I thought it was alright, didn't really like the new characters though. Except Leah, I think they did a good job depicting her as Malcolm 2.0 and integrating her into the plot
>>219715295Based black woman!
>>219708052I liked it. It's better watched in one go than in episodes, it was clearly conceived as a reunion film. As an epilogue I think it settles everything just fine, with room for a revival focused on the younger generation with the older cast members taking a backseat, if they want to.
>>219710945They didn't watch it. They just made up stuff to be offended by.
>>219715375wrong character brother
>>219715222Kelly worked, Leah kind of worked.
Honestly I just wanted to see more of every character except Hal and Lois.What did Reese do? Outside of making videos of Hal, did he have any sort of life? They say he moved out. Where does he live? Does he have any sort of job? Any romance?Francis works somewhere? He manages a team of 70 people doing something? He's on good terms with Lois now, after the series finale where he'd come up with a dysfunctional way of dealing with her that's completely gone?Dewey, to be fair, they did a lot with Dewey with limited appearances.Jamie is... in the military and that's it? More Reese than Malcom I guess?Kelly is... non-binary and that's it? She goes to school. Does she have any friends? What are her interests?Malcolm, the fucking main character supposedly, does what? He runs a charity. And also something about politics? Does he have any friends besides Stewie who he infrequently calls?Leah, we got enough of her to be fair. Same with Malcolm's gf since she's basically a side character.
>>219715375Malcolm's GF was fine. I liked that his supposedly perfect girlfriend wasn't who he thought she was.
>>219708191It didn't feel like the old show at all. The entire crux for why the original worked was the conflict between the boys and the mom. But now that they're out of the house, they're not under their authority anymore. The best way they could have done it would to have all the boys havibg problem kids and they send them to Grandma to straighten them out.
>>219715595>Kelly workedabsolutely not
>>219715660>>wasn't who he thought she was>shot a man, justly>in the ballssuch fine womanabsolutely not written by california cuck
>>219715693She did. She had her own character instead of being a retread of one of the brothers, and had a dynamic with Reese. Jamie by comparison got nothing.
>>219715756>She had her own characterno she actually didn't
>>219715664I came away from it more wanting the brothers to have interacted. It felt like the revival needed one big scene where they banded together like old times to teach someone a lesson.
>>219715748>>219715693>>219715794So you're just going to generically go "nuh uh" to everything then?
>>219715607>Francis works somewhere?The same place he works at during the finale, and I want more Jamie. The guy is barely in it.
>>219715544I haven't watched it yet. I was upper class and never really got the originals appeal. It looks ok in our current desert setting deviod of all humour.Im just waiting for the Drawn Together reboot.
>>219715748Malcolm's perfect GF being the naked lady who killed a man and was infamous on the internet for a while is pretty fitting for him. He's never going to have that perfect life with the perfect family no matter how much he tries.
>>219708052Woke trash. Life is still reddit.
>>219716011Thats a lot of chin hair.
Show needed more of a plot.The plot was "Hal and Lois prepare for their anniversary while their kids exist. Also, Malcolm has a daughter">>219715664Exactly. They needed an actual conflict that would force them to group up.
>>219716052No it really isn't.
>>219715968>He's never going to have that perfect life with the perfect family no matter how much he tries.he was a single father too begin with anonalso we don't actually see her be slightly crazy now though
>>219716011She's gonna stop that non binary bullshit in the few years. I'm pretty sure of it
>>219716151It should match her cheek, but its 3x longer. Also are those Grey's?
A bit more thinking it through would have made Boomer and such see that effectively making a 2-hour tv movie was not the way to goIf you're going to make 4 episodes, make it 4 actual episodes with their own plots

I'm only 2 episodes in, but so far, it's just "okay"My biggest complaint is that the boys don't really feel grown up or matured. They're just rehashed versions of their young selves, and don't really feel like real, relatable adults who've evolved. Reese should have mellowed out with his bullying, becoming mostly chill and passive, finding some sort of niche success that works for him instead of being a loser, and only scheming & nailing targets whenever his inner menace really needs to show itself again, and in a much more subtle and covert way that feels matured, but still "Reese" Francis still gets hung up on petty things in a teenish way, rather than an adult who becomes passive aggressive. I wanted to see him be the most mature adult who had life the most figured-out, with occasional relapses in judgement that get him in trouble.Dewey getting grossed out by Lois shaving Hal didn't seem like Dewey. Grown Dewey would have been used to his parents shenanigans by now. He should have quietly & disappointedly just covered his eyes as he tried to listen to his parents during the video call. Remember Dewey was nonchalant, adaptive, & proactive in the old Malcom, not reactive. He expresses through action, and not voice or facial expressions. He was the most resourceful & well-assessing member of the family that had the most potential to find grace and always have silent charm. Malcom was pretty good, a little exhaggerated at times, but overall seemed fitting to how the old Malcom was doomed into becoming. An anxious, angry klutz, who doesn't properly leverage his higher intelligence to really solve problems. As for the new characters, Leah is great, and suited to be the new anxious, pessimistic kid of the new generation, like her dad was. Tristian is cool, but she's making a big deal out of her loved one rightfully concealing a past he's not comfortable talking about quite yet. Kelly I'm lukewarm on. It's today's Hollywood, I get it, but we'll see..
>>219716570I love this pic of my local bar as zoomers are horrified by the white women jaw lines.
>>219716752Needs more non-binary Grey hairs and chin hairs you biggoted virgin.
every woman with blue eyes should dye her hair black. It's such a perfect combination.
>>219716162The show starts with him talking about his perfect life with his daughter so he's content to not be with the crazy woman who gave birth to his daughter. I'd argue being on board with his daughter's plan to get him to the anniversary dinner isn't exactly normal.
Why is there a guy talking to himself in the thread?
>>219715065Yeah what an excellent bit of shilling: “it was “okay””. You fat fucking spastic

>>219718588tum
>>219708052It was alright, biggest problem for me was that the show tried to make Malcolm too in the wrong for going no-contact with his familyIf your dorky but normal Father/Boyfriend had a complete meltdown at his Parents abruptly barging into his home wouldn't you have some questions. It felt like Malcolm's daughter and gf were ridiculously quick to judge him, that dude essentially has PTSD from his family
Are people actually not getting the gag is Lois always wanted a girl and finally got one in the finale but then she ended up becoming a "boy"?
>>219724183I got it.
>>219724183I can't remember Kelly and Lois interacting

Reboots never work because modernity is so incredibly faggy and indian, the only thing they serve to do is highlight how good the original was, now have fun simping for some mid loony troon for the next few weeks your brown freaks
>>219708191He was 16 in the first season
>>219725180It's not a reboot.
>>219725578geez
>>219712983> Could be cool, maybe they'll do Frasier next! Oh wait... oh.The Frasier reboot had to be money laundering. They didn’t even attempt to continue the spirit of the original show. I never watched it (nobody did) but I heard the writing and acting were really generic. Old man yells at IPad.
>>219708052Besides the cringey stuff with a new sassy they/themboss character, how hard it is to be a faggot, and every single side character having to be some kind of a child molester (Seriously wtf was up with the kreylbones?), it's not that bad.People say that Malcolm wasn't a focus at all, but his character/plots were usually just the glue that tied separate, better plots together rather than being the main focus a lot of the time in the original show as well. So I really think people wouldn't have a problem with that if Hal's plot wasn't so retarded. It's clearly just lip service to Cranston himself. The whole drugs scene felt like it was written by amateurs who liked the jokes of the original and tried to replicate them.The resolution of Malcolm's plot felt cheap as well. They really didn't address how horrible his family or he is at all. There's a scene where Lois basically goes "Families make each other crazy and that's just how it is", a hearty speech at the end, and that's it. The 1 scene where Lois apologizes to Francis in the original was much better in that regard.What's the worst though is how painfully obvious it is that this is a reunion event, with them having to shove every single character from the original show somewhere, resulting in them, due to a lack of time, having to put them in places where it doesn't make sense and then there not being enough time for actual plot.It's mainly about Hal and Lois, Malcolm, his family (who, besides with Leah's tiny subplot, are narratively used more-so as a unit rather than individual characters) and that's it. Reese and Kelly have a small plot where we learn nothing about them, and besides that we only have single sentences worth of information about characters (Jamie is in the military, Stevie is gay, Francis is a manager of some kind, ...).Overall though it was watchable. I think it would've been better if we got a couple more episodes, but it would suck if they were trying to do a full reboot.

>>219726475My dad watched it. People watch sitcom slop, surprisingly.>you now remember The Connors has 7 seasons
>>219708052yo
>>219724516The fact that wokekin characters can never be pieces of shit or have major flaws is unironically what prevents people from liking them, and hating what they represent. If Kelly was a pos exploiting the non-binary thing (though not explicitly saying it’s bs (even though it is)) and being an all around scumbag people would love her character. And in turn be nicer to enby
I had to turn it off after 10 minutes. The cringe was unbearable. Everything felt completely wrong, the writing, the way it was shot, even the acting. It felt surreal watching it, like some raw first draft edit. In the 10 minutes I watched the only good part was the montage of Malcolm arguing with Reese and Francis. Other than that, it was physically painful.
>>219727417I liked her character.
>>219727417They made the woke bitch in Scream 5, 6, and 7 a... bitch that never stops shitting on the legacy characters because she's an actual meta manifestation of every chud argument on the Internet. I hate every second she's on the screen.
>>219727840There’s always going to be this uncanny valley effect of seeing old characters in new productions. That’s why I avoid most legacy sequels.
>>219727417She had a good dynamic with the family that wasn't a rehash of any of the brothers. I had no problem with her, I just wish Jamie had a larger role, especially with Dewey being reduced by necessity.
