The one sign we're still in the bad timeline:>We start watching the very first episode of Mike's MST3K revival>The iconic MST3K Love Theme begins playing>We get to the Robot Coll Call>The big purple robot is still called 'GPC'
>>220425255They seemed pretty inconsistent with Gypsy even on the reboot series. They called her GPC and Gypsy (or Gyps) randomly...really no one cared.If Gypsies are now Romani that means the name Gypsy is free to use anyways.
Rifftrax has been more bad than good for years now, I'm skipping these new episodes the same way I skipped the Felicia Patton episodes.
>>220425312I just watch it for new trashmovieslop, I don’t really care much about the actual riffs HONESTLY
>>220425255Mac and MeCry Wilderness MunchieAll good episodes of NeoMST3K...I know its cool to hate the Netflix era but I laughed during these episodes so fuck you(Never liked Felicia and Oswald though they seemed like they were legit fans of the show)
Joel's nu-MST3K was devoid of soulMike won
>>220425255It'll be better than Joel's abomination for a fraction of the cost. Joel and Mallon should never be allowed to touch the IP again.
Imagine being Joel and knowing that everyone prefers Mike's version of your creation.
>>220425302Almost nobody in America even thinks it's an offensive term and not just the name for the group of people in the first place. I have no idea why they pretend to give a shit
>>220425389Those episodes get memed all the time, but I enjoyed these Nu-MST3K episodes the best...>Atlantic Rim>Starcrash>Time Travelers Those were the funniest. Honestly the best part of nu-MST3K is the movie selection. Practically all of the films are funny and entertaining on their own.
>>220427111But what about z-list Hollywood celebrity cameos?!
Actually, is GPC even better?If some character is name N-GAR that wouldn't exactly give you a pass as far as television is concerned. Seems like it just proves nobody cared
>>220425312I thought Felicia Patton was a huge upgrade over Oswald. She has spunk.>>220425389OMG..."Cry Wilderness" was so bad, it justified the entire series all by itself. What a tour de farce. And Batwoman? What wonderful femsploitation.
>>220425255RiffTrax. Should have just stayed with RiffTrax, they have like 800 riffs and are so much better then mst3k, the kickstarter always felt like memberberries a step back not step fforward
>>220427822
I just read a NYT article by Mike about his chronic headaches. It sounds like his life is hell but he somehow keeps it together, also the article was hilarious.
>>220425389I genuinely love Cry Wilderness and Avalanche. Some times I'll also throw on one of the kaiju episodes, or the... I forget what the movie is called, but the one about the talking chimp at the circus.
>>220428492Best thing about that is when he told James Lipton to go to hell at a convention.
>obscure riff>don't get it>laugh anyway
>>220427955Unnecessary bloat not in line with the original spirit of the show.
>>220427111Hey now, I know the Flash animation Bot cartoons were abysmal, but Jim DID give us the Sci-Fi Channel seasons, and the Movie...
They haven't mentioned Gypsy in any of the videos, I wonder if they're just not going to include her at all?
>>220434088This, depressingly, has also crossed my mind.
>>220429848No shit
I can't believe they renamed Tom Servo to Tim Serv.0...
>>220425255>>220434088>>220434296What about Cambot?
>>220434817Cambot's the camera. It'd be impossible for him to not be in it.
>>220434954the mst3k bots are incredible designs. very underrated. it's kinda overlooked just how good they are, with so much focus on the riffs and movies.
>>220425255Joel’s plan to make MST3k SNL was a good idea but too bad it didn’t work.You cant keep making jokes about 1970s tv commercials
>>220434817Renamed to Bob...
>>220425255I love Mike, Kevin, and Bill but I don't have a lot of hope for their take on nu-MST3k. Rifftrax has been gradually getting less and less funny for the past decade or so and it's pretty clear that they all just want to give it up and retire so I don't know why they would agree to do a show that requires considerably more effort, even for only 4 episodes.
>>220425255The first episode is out?
>>220435228It was a bad idea.Why when a rotating cast when it's completely unnecessary?
>>220434817Sorry, he's canceled."Cambot" is now an ethnic slur
>>220435890I have confidence in them.This is basically MST3K's last hurrah. They seem motivated. Why wouldn't they be? Nu-MST3K is reviled by old fans.So now they get another shot at outdoing Joel.
>>220425255the production switching back to a bunch of conservative midwesterners and away from virtue signaling LA dwellers tells me they're quietly switching it back to Gypsythey're not even going to do it intentionally as an anti-woke thing, it's because they literally don't give a fuck about the overall plot and they don't watch the finished episodes the way we do. they're going to use the 90s names because they literally don't even know it got changed in the first place
>>220435890the streaming market combined with the decline of DVDs and physical disk drives in computers basically killed the original Rifftrax model and you can tell they've just been going through the motions doing jokes on public domain dogshit. the new episodes are basically the first time in a decade they get to actually do the old thing againI get the vibe that everyone who's coming back is doing so to get a nest egg payday, as compensation for being screwed over on the original show back in the 90sit wouldn't shock me if the main crew are taking home $150k each off the $2.75m they made off the Kickstarter
>>220427111Mike could afford more notable weird films as well, and veered towards less family friendly titles. Mike would be the one to do a riff on Godzilla vs Biollante if he could
>>220427822the SciFi channel episodes are far and away the best"Big McLargehuge" is a top 10 moment in TV history
>>220436801I agree, they seem surprised at the interest and psyched up.. i'm guessing the hefty pull from their campaign pit a lot of wind in their sails. I predict a stunning success and great farewell for my favorite show ever.
