Everybody knows that
It was announced now, you dumb c**t.
This, most of us were just hoping it wouldn't...
I didn't know that.
hoping they go back to an episodic format like season 1 with a new cast. I could not give a less of a shit about Spear’s daughter.
It was confirmed to be an anthology with no ties to the first two seasons
bitchin’
Oh yay more stonepunk gorewank
>Something has entered the blood, like a whisper of unnamed evil.
>“Primal has become a contagious disease that I don’t ever want to cure. Every episode flows out like an unstoppable force beyond my control.”
Seems to hint at some sort of outbreak/zombie/body snatcher type plot? Which could have a lot of storytelling potential.
>Some frickers stumble upon that pond the dino puked up in
Not a bad theory, I was thinking of that episode too
Thinkin that or the Aku juice
Continuation from the Victorian era episode maybe?
My hope is: first episode Victorian-era continuation, last episode Spear-girl continuation, every other episode is an original plot.
You know what was popular in the victorian era? Dinosaur islands.
Not Primal enough.
>unnamed evil
Crossover with unicorn when
He just ties in all the shows he's ever made in a heckin reddit style finale.
>Witch Fox but ungabunga
>Like her feral form is the giant version by default and has bigger teeth and claws
So if this is an anthology, what new story or stories do you lot wanna see? Connection to Spear's and Fang's kids or Darwin and friends optional.
I would like an anthology season. Maybe 1 or two focusing on the daughter, maybe just the daughter and the dino but not show Fang to sort of retire that character and let her enjoy a happy ending. But jump more around time.
What new stories and time periods would you like to see?
I think he mentioned war at one point, could be interesting to see any number of conflicts, like WW1 trench warfare, Vietnam or Laotian jungles, reds vs nazis in winter...
>the war episode synopsis drops
>yfw it's a future war story about Roy Batty and his unit storming the Tannhauser Gate
Yeah, good call. Could definitely see him doing some futuristic cyberpunky war stuff.
I’m picturing a fictional conflict with real historical aesthetic blended in
Think the animated short he did for Priest, where they had “WWI but goblin vampires”
Kino ideas indeed
> WW1 trench warfare, Vietnam or Laotian jungles, reds vs nazis in winter...
How is any of that Primal though?
>> WW1 trench warfare, Vietnam or Laotian jungles, reds vs nazis in winter...
>How is any of that Primal though?
He said Primal refers to man's primal nature coming out in times of great stress or conflict or whatever, like the Primal Theory episode
I want aliens. An alien world that has no human language and space species survive in a primal way.
Underwater life.
Spear's story is over. I'd rather leave it at that.
At least give Season 3 a subtitle to differeniate it from Spears and Fangs story.
Also thank you Genndy for being one of the few keeping action cartoons alive
More unga bunga, more "modern" stuff.
LONG AGO IN A DISTANT LAND
alien arc
we fricking ballin bois
At first I was thinking it would be a quote about how violence is akin to a disease but metaphorical, kinda like the “all the world was one thought” line leading into the first season
But they’re straight up using the stinger cues from Plague and the sickly green the show conditioned us to associate with evil magic
THE NUMBERS MASON
Hot dayum, that green is so kino. Should've been the first season's header.
Good stories never get to end they can only be made to keep spinning and spinning and spinning until there’s nothing left on the wheels but nubs.
It's not a continuation of the Spear plotline.
Was it at all possible to appreciate exactly how fricking terrifying a Balrog of Morgoth was before actually reading about it in Fellowship or seeing it in the movie?
Because I only appreciated that fact, and the fact Gandalf was one of the few beings alive who could stand against it, after reading the Silmarillion. Like these frickers outclass the Ringwraiths. It was as if Sauron himself appeared in the mines that's what a fricking Balrog was.
>more dogshit that people will pretend is good cause muh lefties are evil
Yawn
what was the point in killing spear off then?
bad bait heres your (you)
It is an anthology series
>what was the point in killing spear off then?
To hammer home the point that women ruin everything, and not to think with your dick.
>bad bait
Not bait but seethe
>Lefties are evil
Yes?
Good
That finale was so shit that any finale for season 3 will be better
This is one of those cases where S3 can save this show
I'm sorry but unless they undo the last episode of season 2 (or even s2 and s1e10 while they're at it), there's no saving this show.
>kill off the main character
>keep on making seasons
WHY
This is why anime is better
Not exactly.
>all women
no thanks
>burnt sausage
LETS GOOOOOOO
This is the photo posted to Adult Swim's insta.
I wouldn't read into it. They're posting a recognizable image bc there's no new finished artwork.
that's just the end of the previous season
well of course, season 3 JUST started production so they don't have any art to show from it
>father is an ugly ape
>mother looks like picrel
>offspring e-girl mogs half of rat channel MCs in cuteness
???
Spear's squat genes mix with Mira's long genes to create a girl with a decent aspect ratio
>Spear
>Ugly
I fight you
>comparing him to a filthy twice damned to Nord Hell ape
NOW I KILL YOU
>nooooo cute cavegirl character???
Why am I surrounded by gays

FUUUUCCCKKKKK YEAAAAAHHHHHHH STAY ASSBLASTED Cinemaphile GENNDY IS AN OASIS IN A DESERT OF SHIT
Anime won
Lovers of genuinely good animation won. But good job staying assblasted.
well, if the viking fella rose from the dead I don't see why spear wouldn't (I'm coping)
Now we just need to have him come back to Symboite Titan.
With how busy Genndy's been these past couple years I'm convinced he'll get Season 2 of this greenlit after Unicorn wraps up.
Considering how much AS uses Primal and Unicorn for filling airtime, I swear SBT manages to not seem like such an impossibility
But, I dare not actually hope
>Lance and Ilana get married, Ilana dissolves into nothing
I can bet it will be a flop.
I'd take that bet
Genndy can't do overarching, he's excels at single stories
So Fall 2024?
Let's go over some kino primal-theory style plotlines
>Soldiers spending several days in a foxhole that doesn't let up on gunfire
>A woman that gets abducted into a radical cult and has to escape a guarded compound
>Small group on a liferaft trying to fight off starvation
>Someone has a car crash in a quiet highway, has to find civilization with a broken bloody leg
>People holed up in a house surrounded by water after a tsunami
>Survivors of the Atomic bomb slowly dropping from the radiation afteraffects
>Early colonial americans fighting off the intense first winter that killed so many
>small, isolated, trapped group needs to figure out who among them is a Thing/skinwalker before the impostor or impostors kill them all
He's such a daddy bear, frickkkkk
Future style episode with a hostile alien creature that eventually gets btfo when the colonists or whoever embraces their inner UNGA to whoop its ass in a frenzy
>generations after the I Am Legend vampire apocalypse, a zoologist makes the shocking discovery that daywalkers are actually sapient
>a tribal society beset by monsters take shelter in a cursed forest, become plagued by a mysterious and unavoidable sickness and have to choose between fast and violent or slow decay
>starving wendigo hunts natives, from the perspective of the wendigo
>spaceship captain alone in the void for years alternately loving and torturing his AI simulated crew before deleting them and starting again
>pick a couple of Philip Dick's public domain short stories and just animate them straight up
I hope he still avoids dialogue wherever possible though, it feels much more raw when you limit the character's ability to exposit and just explaining plot details ends up feeling cheap after the first season. It wouldn't always make sense but there's plenty of perfectly reasonable excuses depending on the story, like the soldiers in a foxhole can't communicate except in brief lulls in the explosions and gunfire
Kino and primal theory do not belong in the same sentence
I hope Genndy lets his imagination run wild and comes up with the most insane premises possible
>An American soldier and a German Soldier in World War I must work together to escape an ancient horror that killed their regiments and left them trapped in a desolate part of No Man's Land.
>The American dies, sacrificing his live to kill the horror and protect his newfound brother.
>Several years later, the American's family receives a letter written in broken English telling them their son was a good man and includes the son's medals that were thought lost forever.
>The premise is that, because of the language barrier, the two men must communicate using a variety of different methods all while being stalked and hunted by this bizarre super-predator.
>While the two men are reasonably distrustful of one another, they both gain a sense of respect for the other over time.
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra
I wonder if the amount of cognates between English and German would make the "no talking" thing awkward.
Could make it a French or Belgian soldier instead of an American.
Literally just do Amnesia: The Bunker. It's perfect
Lol I was thinking of that when I came up with my idea
let's go dinofrickers
>Tfw Genndy is probably going to kill her off
She dies in her sleep of old age. Screencap this post.
I’d be fine with that
>she reunites with spear in whatever those planes were in episode 8
press release says Primal season 2 reached 4 million viewers, goddamn
https://www.animationmagazine.net/2023/06/annecy-adult-swim-orders-new-show-from-mike-judge-and-greg-daniels-renews-tartakovskys-primal/
If I have a shaggy shit about animu and mango I’d be on the board dedicated to it
You need to go back
Wrong board
YWNBAJ
cope
>you will never be a janny
Thank god!
You still need to go back
I thought he dead
Viking gay died and got better. Time for some DOOM or zombie Spear going primal on demons and shit!
That or its more anthology style this go around which could also be cool. Basically gives Genndy free reign of doing whatever fricking situation he wants. Could go Not Warhammer 40k for an episode if he wanted
I think Genndy confirmed in the past that if he did more with the same characters he would stick with the choice of moving forward with the cast as seen at the end of 2 instead of digging up Spear
Entirely new stuff in the vein of Primal Theory are my ideal
Yeah, he said he'd like to do just a single episode to catch up or check in with Fang and lil Spear, unless fan outcry was such that it necessitated him to only keep that plotline going. So i'm hoping normies are able to move on and embrace the new direction in this next season so the anthology format can continue.
If somehow he's lurking I really hope he goes forward with the anthology style.
I loved Season 1 and Season 2 for being so radically creative yet constrained. What is basically a silent cartoon in the 2020s really isn't like anything on TV, and it was such a cool thing to watch.
More primal theories that just want to animate the theme of people surviving the absolute worst conditions sounds great.
Oh. My. God. I. Am. So. Surprised. As if they would pass up a chance for girlboss dinosaur stupidity in current day.
Fang is indeed a girlboss and you shall die mad
>thinking I care
LOL, nah. Just not going to watch it, anon. You see, that's what happens when you end your story in a ridiculous way and then come back months later and say "actually it didn't end... please keep funding us."
Yeah you clearly don’t care that this show is a success creatively, critically, and financially, as evidenced by your citation of politics
Yeah, I should let whinging sophists like you put words in my mouth. My bad.
Oh I’m sorry you weren’t the whinging sophist talking about girl bosses in the modern day?
Another chance to botch the ending. Is Spira the Half-Ape e-girl the main character?
Toonami will never be free of Genndyshit
And that's a good thing
Toonami is on its way out. I'd wager it has a year left at most
I'm guessing 10 episodes like the previous two seasons
Frick yes.
Wonder if this will end up being an anthology or focusing primarily on Spear’s daughter. I feel like I remember him mentioning wanting to do both.
Anthology is more likely.
I’d be cool with that.
Likewise. Could go anywhere with it.
I think Genndy said he would go back to Spear's daughter if there was enough demand
If he ever did he'd get in Fang's death that he wanted to for S2 so we can't let that happn
Fang was supposed to die in S2?
Yeah Genndy said he knew people would be mad at him so he switched her with Spear.
I don't see why there can't be more episodes with spear in between seasons 1 and 2 since it's going to be an anthology show anyways....MAKE THIS HAPPEN
>I don't see why there can't be more episodes with spear in between seasons 1 and 2
season 2 picks up like immediately after season 1 ends
I love Spear and his storyline, but it ended at the right time before it dragged on too long. It was already starting to get a little ridiculous when he was able to take an viking hordes and egpytians, if the show continued further we'd have beyond absurd Guts-level spear
It'd have to be between the last two episodes of season 1.
Oh boy I can't wait for more organized shitposting about how much one group of autists hates genndy.
>replace old man with cute girl
>Cinemaphile will find a way to complain about this.
The second season was becoming very conan-like by the end of it
Gennady should just adapt 30s conan stories as short 2 part episodes.
That would be right down his alley
I’m torn, on one hand I like the OG primal setting a lot, on another I feel like Genndy would make horrible things happen to the surviving characters if it continued. I guess it’s worth it to not have him kill off Fang and co.
I just want one episode to go back to the prehistoric world. You don't have to bring back Spear's family, just make an independent story in the prehistoric setting
HOLY SHIT YES!
Will it be about his daughter? Don't they dare make her talk.
>Don't they dare make her talk.
>raised by language-havers
anon, i...
>I have to worry about Fang and her kids dying again
SHIT
Don't worry, I'm sure they won't kill more than one of them.
PERSON GOOD, PERSON BAD
COLOR RED, COLOR BLUE
>Krog transformed under a green moon
>green logo for s3
spooky
Not just Krog
Remember the Night Feeder? I don't believe that those two Green Moon sightings accompanied by transforming super beasts were mere coincidence
genndy seems to like using that sort of bright green color for "evil" or ominous mood lighting
I noticed how all evil and unnaturally large and murderous creatures were red though (the giant snake, the bats, the spider, the raptor horde, the Night Feeder and especially the dinosaurs which killed Fangs and Spears family). So my theory was they were actually sent out by that demon god from later episodes as some sort of prehistoric forms of evil and he chose the pissed of viking to avenge his creations.
I am very tired of Genndy. He has a unique style, that’s it. Primal had a terrible ending and UWE is peak mid
>mid
Zoomer go. I don’t like UWE either but this isn’t twitter
>primal is savagery
That’s a very shallow takeaway
>Primal had a terrible ending
Why, did it remind you that you'll never get fricked? Was your power fantasy getting beaten up too much for you fricking loser?
Dawg chill there’s legitimate grievances to be had
For example, I said right from the very start that it would be bullshit if the series ends by splitting up the duo
Spear and Fang should have lived or died together as a team. I hold to that even now
If they’ve got to have kids, let them have kids. Then if they die, they should have gone out together protecting those offspring
It just felt so wrong for Fang to not even be present in his final moments
Don’t mind him, he replies to any criticism of the finale with accusations of self insertion
>For example, I said right from the very start that it would be bullshit if the series ends by splitting up the duo
Fang left in grief because she couldn't accept Spear would die. I agree that's too much to understand for Fang from the healer's expressions alone, but still.
Pay fricking attention instead of looking on your phone while watching anything, Zoomer shit.
You seem upset. the ending was trash. Cope mutt
Now you’re just being foolish
Of course we see that’s what happened. The fact that it happened is the issue, alongside how it was transparently written that way to leave him and Mira alone for that death quickie
After everything that they’d suffered through for each other, Fang runs away from him at his most ultimately vulnerable? No I don’t buy that
The ending was rushed. Still it wasn't shit. The show had balls for letting the guy have his Vidarr.
It's funny once any media involves consequences for characters, people hate it.
Didn’t say it was shit. Said my jimmies were heavily rustled by that part
Yeah okay then the whole discussion was pointless. My jimmies were rustled because they built up that fight for like 5 episodes and it was way too short. Even if Spear was the underdog they could have at least shown way more dodging and attempts at counterattacks, and more transformations by the demon.
On the other hand I'm glad Fang didn't die, which I expected since the Collosseaus three parter.
I actually really like that the idea of Primal can outlive Spear and Fang. They were great protagonists, but they're not what makes Primal, Primal.
Primal is savagery, and you can do savagery in a whole lot of ways with a whole lot of settings.
Uh oh Industrycuck is gonna flip when he sees this…
What is with industrycuck's hateboner for Genndy?
how does Genndy keep getting work? It's amazing
I wish he could hire a decent writer tho
She's up all night 'til the sun
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
We're up all night 'til the sun
We're up all night to get some
We're up all night for good fun
We're up all night to get lucky
When I found that pic before I was disappointed as frick because the artist failed at drawing proper penetration.
I thought it said a lot about their relationship when Fang reacted to Spear’s death worse than she did with Red
>a slow, solemn walk to the woods
vs
>being so unable to handle seeing him like that she runs into the wilderness screaming
Yeah this. End of discussion. Frick that Zoomer.
Did a zoomer rape your mother you shartmerimutt
Nah, my mother fricking hates zoomers and their cancel culture more than I do. She constantly makes jokes how useless your generation is which got spoonfed by their parents into the boomer-hating parasites they are now.
While your take has merit, I think they could have achieved a proper middle ground by not having the burnt sausage be the last of Spear and perhaps Fang should have regained her composure and returned in time to be there with him when he finally goes
I like that idea
Yeah except the whole episode was all about Spear missing his people and having a family...
So someone had to get that burned sausage. Might as well have ended with creepy ass dinosaur hybrids.
If Genndy wanted to go crazy he should have done that to go all out
He should have animated that as a joke scene at least for a convention or something.
I guess it wouldn’t feel right to leave Fang a single mother AGAIN
At least Mira and Speara provide additional family for Fang’s babbers to grow up with
Imagine having dinosaurs for step-siblings
Speara has a very unique childhood
>half Neanderthal
>has 3 dinosaur family members
>two of which grew up alongside her
Imagine the bond she has with them
Bros before hoes. Fang isn't going to do her friend dirty like that.
The problem with season 3 will be... what else is there to tell? I hope the daughter won't attempt to track down her dad's muderer or something. That's way too lame.
They're shifting to an anthology series. The Victorian London episode was Genndy testing the waters for that.
Hoping for an anthology with no connection, Fang’s been through enough shit she needs to be able to live in that village in peace
Season 2 expanded the setting so heavily you could basically tell all sorts of stories with different sets of characters.
What do you mean "what else is there to tell"?
Primal had 0 storyline beyond "Fang and Spear aimlessly wander around getting attacked" until Mira happened and you guys cried about it.
You could do the exact same shit with a cave e-girl and her dino.
e-girls do WHAT to male dinosaurs?!?!?!?!
orgasm denial
I would at least like one episode with Speara and Fang's kids
>MFW the first episode is preggo-Mira hunting and fighting off predators.
I’d love to see fangs reaction to the realization that she’s pregnant
>where is the egg?
>why is there no egg?
obviously she wouldn’t be confused because she’s probably taken advantage of mammalian births to catch prey in a vulnerable position
Season 2 was bad. Genndy is a hack.
Ok saved
Why
The foreshadowing of Spear's own death in this scene is obvious in hindsight.
I don’t think it was planned back then
2nd sucked
Good
Thanks Mrs.Cinemaphile mememagic
The fangussy is the most powerful force in the universe, nothing can contain it
>cute brown girl killing shit
I see no issue with this
Its over
Spreading this drawfriend OC around because it’s so good
Can Chomper secure the Fangussy?
Nah, there's no way she settles for that after having this giant chad.
I am ready for more Dino battles.
God that game was awesome, too bad it doesn’t work on modern computers. The plot was basically used for the last two camp Cretaceous seasons though
God don't fricking remind me
Fang is the sexiest winner tbqh
It shouldnt
test
>you will never rest inside Fang’s belly, listening to her burp and brap as you digesting into more of her voluptuous form makes her incredibly gassy
Existence is painful
I wonder where they'll go with it. i've mostly lost interest after what they did with S2. Seemed pretty wrapped up and done with how they rushed things. If they're going to girlboss the series with his daughter, then it likely won't get half the ratings the first two seasons did.
