Tbh I think Futurama is perfect for streaming. It’s a fantastic show that I could easily binge but I’m just not feeling the waiting each week for an episode. Some shows I will wait for the episode and will plan for time to watch the premiere. But Futurama, I keep forgetting about. I’m enjoying the episodes and think it’s a great season, but I’m forgetting about it shortly after. I would gladly binge 10 episodes once or twice a year though and be happy with that.
Do you have any idea how easy it is to calculate the success of a reboot? They are not aiming for awesome with these. They just need it to meet the lower end of the estimate of people that say they would watch a reboot of a familiar popular show. These are zero risk endeavors.
Blame statistics and big data. Depressing but this isn't going to stop.
I didn't enjoy the latest season of futurama as much, but I did like all the previous reboots it had before the most recent. It was still good enough to watch though so can't complain.
Haven't been a fan of it until the last two episodes that have come out, those were pretty good. When they abandon "current" culture references as the core joke and just have a self contained Futurama esque story it still works
I've only watched the first episode of the new season but it already feels like they have a better stride than in past reboots. Even the joke about getting cancelled still landed despite it being a pretty overused topic in comedy currently.
Ever watched tv in the 90s? Same. Love boat, Magnum p.i., general hospital, a-team, the list goes on. Hm, it seems the entertainment industry doesn't care about good products, just about money. Surprise. But maybe - just maybe - it'll suffer if people don't watch that crap anymore. But that won't happen. It's not the greedy necromancers, it's the consumer that's broken and enables the scheme.
Btw: that's the meme that completely incorporates anything in the modern capitalist world, including exploited humans.
As much as I am not a huge fan of reboots in general for TV shows/movies/series/etcetera, I really want to see a reboot of Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron.
