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

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

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.

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

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

It's what makes Futurama Futurama!

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.

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

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

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

60% tinkle...

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