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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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...

"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 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] End0fLine@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you for remembering the dolomite.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] LazerFX@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

60% tinkle...

[–] Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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.)

[–] Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago

Sure, but the last Futurama reboot was a long time ago. I can't think of too many good reboots that have come out since

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm 8% robot and I'm sick of this anti robot sentiment
