The "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" was a good episode but I think both "Otherwise" and "Meanwhile" were much better "final" episodes.

Me too! I'm always gutted when they cancel it

Zombierama!

Hot take it was time to be done after the first 4 seasons. That run was great. It should not have gotten revived.

Did you watch the last season?

Simpsons hasn't been canceled nearly the same number of times. Futurama is the zombie that won't stay down.

The good news with all of the series finales for Futurama is eventually you can hit your personal finale

For me it's the fractal of them zooming in and out of the simulations, and slowing down a simulation so far that it feels like to the people observing the simulation that the simulation has stopped, however for the people in the simulation it feels as if their timeline is running exactly the same as always. Everyone's sad to see it end, but Fry and Leela recognize instantly that for the people within the simulation that the stories never end.

IMO it was the perfect ending and I refuse on rewatch to watch past that

Futurama hasn't declined anywhere near as badly.

I say just do some occasional specials and/or movies.

People who like Futurama and don't want more: "boo!"

Y'all realize you can just not watch the new stuff?

"How else will I get my daily quota of blood boiling? This suggestion makes me angry!"

This has what bugs me. People don't watch the new stuff AND complain about the new stuff.

I watch the new stuff, it's got good episodes, it's got bad episodes, and it's got just fine episodes. We've got three Futurama specials to look forward to. Maybe they'll be good, maybe bad, maybe just fine. I'm looking forward to finding out.

I dunno it’s just weird to see the corpse of something I loved paraded around.

I’m not gonna go crazy over it but leaving a quick “this kinda sucks” on a message board is low effort.

I stopped watching after a few episodes of season 8. It felt like it lost its way. So I'm fine just rewatching season 1-7 and the movies.

Right?! More is ALWAYS better when it comes to things you love. No exceptions. If you stop enjoying it, stop watching it, but don't yuck everyone else's yum because it's not for you. Some (most) people are so conceited and like to moan when their quality levels aren't met.

Counting down until Futurama is labeled 'slop'...

I think there's something especially offensive about it for Futurama.

Part of the show's legend is that it kept coming back. Every time it was cancelled it found a way to come back, tell more story, be clever, and then get cancel-blasted again.

The Time-loop ending on the last cancellation felt like the show didn't get cancelled. It completed it's story. It was a goodbye and not an 'until next time'. Bringing it back on Hulu feels like a slap to that legacy. It takes what was very real show history and makes it a cynical cash grab by Hulu corporate.

as if they got to take the fact that the show fought it's way back so many times and are now puppeting it's corpse like Weekend at Bernie's. "look guys it came back again isn't that fun?"

I'm not going to shit on anyone for wanting to keep watching. I just see it now and it makes me sad. So I don't watch.

What eps

They opened the new series with covid and bitcoin jokes like 4 years after those were relevant…

right below this is a comment begging them to stop with over 100 upvotes. The time-loop ending was perfect. It was them getting to take a bow. Maybe I've changed. That's fine. Other's can keep watching but I finished with Futurama. They told their stories. Fry and Leela got together, Kiff and Amy have kids etc.

Going back now is like trying to reconnect with the people you were friends with in college and finding that you don't have anything in common with them anymore.

They ended on such a perfect high note with that timeloop ep. A near perfect goodbye.

Are you fucking kidding? It was absolute regurgitated pap, there was nothing like the earlier seasons. I couldn't stomach it and dropped it after the first return season. Not worth the time to watch.

Maybe, o thought they were shit and stopped watching, which is fine imo.

Bro how can you not like the second movie too?

Take the deal Fry! If there’s a delicious cake, isn’t it better to have one slice than none at all? Even if four other guys eat the other four slices and they’re all thrusting their sweaty naked bodies against the cake?

i thinks on its 3rd soft-reboot? i think.

Groening has been pretty clear that he's all about the money. I went to a Simpsons live show like 20+ years ago, and he specifically said that money was the only motivation for continuing the show.
