If it's good, that's great! If it isn't good, then I hope everyone involved enjoyed making it. This isn't the first time we've been through this.

Even if it's dog shit writers and animators were employed to create it, and that's a W

“Great is ok. But amazing would be great!”

Since it's had four endings, now five with the most recent reboot, that'd make it 80% reboots

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

What are the 4 endings? The original Fox run, the movies run, and then the Comedy Central run. What am I missing?

[-] schmaustin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Thank you, I was hoping someone had done the math because it felt like more. I'm going to confidently quote this fact without checking it, I trust you.

Don't forget the all-important 0.04% nickel impurity!

[-] CubCadet@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

It's what makes Futurama Futurama!

Absolutely goated username

How is this a reboot? Isn't it just a continuation? Reboot implies they're starting over...

[-] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

"Reboot: A new direction taken on by a pre-established story or character. Remake: A retelling of a story audiences have seen before, but typically with a difference."

This is definition of film reboot. I think you're referring to a software/hardware reboot.

[-] Lexaprofessor@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Ooh gotcha, thanks for the reply. I would ask though, is this a reboot by that definition? Doesn't seem to be taking a new direction.

[-] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

In my opinion it is a reboot.

Show is obviously not "changing" but it's under new direction (literally) and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't inject more modern situations and humor into the show.

That would just be turning it off and back on again.

Correct

[-] mestari@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Aha, I always thought reboot and remake mean the same thing

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

40% titanium, 40% dolomite, 40% zinc, 30% iron, and a 0.04% nickel impurity.

[-] End0fLine@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

Thank you for remembering the dolomite.

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

It's the tough black mineral that won't cop out when there's heat all about!

[-] LazerFX@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago

60% tinkle...

[-] Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network 4 points 11 months ago

Fair, but there hasn't been a decent reboot of anything in forever.

So I'm going in with no expectations to avoid disappointment. If it's good I'll be happy, if it's bad I won't be surprised

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Well, all of the previous Futurama reboots were good.

(Maybe except for the one where the writers decided to protest against too many reboots and inserted all those jokes about how reboots are lame. Or maybe that's the best one, IDK.)
