What do we think of the very first Futurama comeback aka the four movies?I remember 1 feeling like classic Futurama and being terrificI remember 2 being basically where Gilligan ripped Pluribus from but way better, though unfortunately degenerate in its polyamory I remember 3 being really kind of dull and drawn out, something to do with Mom and FarnsworthI remember 4 being unwatchable RPG redditor nonsense.So it started strong in its 2008 return, but kind of dwindled by its two 2009 finale.
>>223585956Felt like an entirely different show, but it doesnt make the good stuff any less good. Like revival Family Guy. Or Al Jean/Disney era Simpsons.
>>223585956>I remember 1 feeling like classic Futurama and being terrificIt's a sort of clever imitation of classic Futurama, but it isn't classic Futurama.
>>223585956All the good writers migrated to American Dad after Fox cancelled it the first time. Never recovered after that.
>>223585956>the very first Futurama comebackDon't call it a comeback. Because almost nobody cared. The first film was just barely okay.
>>223585956I enjoy them.
>>223585956The worst part is the woman voiced by a man. The voice is so grating and makes it hard to get through the movie. I hate that it's becoming a trend. Dr Mrs The Monarch is the only time it has ever worked and that's because they didn't try to do a tranny voice.

It tried really hard to be Futurama, that's the problemMuch like how the last new season of Samurai jack tried really hard to be Samurai jackThat's not a good thing, but that's certainly better than going downhill>Writing the show as is>Writing the show after it's over, trying to "recreate" the first show>Writing the show after it's over, but flanderized with cast change/character changes>Writing the show after it's over, but with wackier plots and over the top stupidity
>>223585998They wrapped up Fry's time travel being a major show plot point at least
>>223586148What woman? The beast with the tentacles? That was David Cross, who isn't a man
>>223586462The waterfall hippie in the 4th movie.
They ruined Bender by making him a catchphrase. "ME, BENDER."He says it like once in the global warming episode and the new writers decided, "hey, let's just make him say that ALL THE TIME." DiMaggio used to voice him so soulfully but ironically Bender feels more like a robot from our time than from the far future.There is that one episode in season seven, where they can't enhance an image which is hilarious because it's supposed to be 3010 and somehow they don't have upscale technology
>>223586497DiMaggio just kind of sucks all around.
>>223586369Samurai Jack at least had a single creative voice at the helm throughout. Losing Mako really sucked though. He was like half the show.
>>223586485That was kind of the joke that the entire family of Waterfalls were all voiced by the same actor.
>>223586634YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!
I felt the shift in the second film and feel exactly the way you do OP. The fourth film is nonsensical gibberish. My assumption was always that Groening and Cohen used the movies to pass the writing off to a new team, and then Comedy Central shoved their hands into the writing room and we got shit like the susan boil episode. I love Bender's Big Score and 2/3 are passable but it honestly wasn't worth getting those movies when the trad off is everything else after it. surprised there was never more porn of Colleen
>>223585956I liked Bender's big score and beast with a thousand backs. Bender's game completely loses its whole premise. Honestly the biggest problem with the "Movies" is that they're written and directed like four episodes stitched together so they could break them up and serialize them as part of a "new season."
>>223585956I like all of them but the into the wild green yonder one is definitely the weakest. BBS>BG>BWABB>ITWGY
>>223587134I don't care. The tranny voice is still very harsh on the ears. If they wanted to run with that joke they should have just given her a deep masculine voice like Dr Mrs The Monarch.
>>223587187Name one time he did anything but his own regular voice.
>>223587639>if they wanted to run the joke they should have ignored it you're a real dumb asshole
>>223587652>SAY THA AGAIN YUH DILLATIN', GENDER-BENDIN', TRANNY-FUCKIN' TROON
>>223585956>unfortunately degenerate in its polyamoryThe show ain't for you if you hold this view. I'll never be poly myself, I believe in exclusivity, but calling other people degenerate for things you're not involved in is retarded.
>>223585956I always thought they were shit and didn't feel like what was before.
>>223587704The fuck are you talking about? The same dude could have just done a different voice for the character.
>>223587923You must be the modern audience the reboots were aimed at, because no one would say that about the original show.
>>223585956Benders Big Score --- Not terribleBeast with Billion Backs --- TerribleBenders Game --- It's... two plots sewn together. Each could have been entertaining on their own. It's a bit distracting to see them attached to each other. Wilf Green Yonder --- Pretty good.
I mean, it wasn't a consistently great show to begin with. Some very high-tier comedy in there for sure, but the series drags a bit even at its peak.
>>223588539I always appreciate that Futurama doesn't play it safe. The don't middle around and make mediocre episodes that avoid bothering anyone. Either they hit it out of the park, or they miss completely.
>>223588581What do you call seasons 6 through 15?
First one was good, the other 3 were mid
