Groening isn't actually the guy responsible for the Simpsons writing, he just came up with the basic premise
On the other hand, I fully believe he had a major hand in writing Futurama because Disenchanted feels about the same level of quality
It's basically Futurama but fresh instead of the reanimated corpse attemp No. 3 and zombie simpsons.
Also there are two volumes of comics available.
>Also there are two volumes of comics available.
presumably at your house because nobody else brought them
that he likes money? dumbass. he got paid even if nobody watches this. it's called phoning it in for a quick buck, dipshit.
You can just say "He phoned it in". We get what that means. You don't need to add "For a quick buck". It's moron writing and I don't know why you morons do this.
counterpoint, people phone it in for a slow buck all the time, i sure as hell phone in my job at mcdonalds, and i make money very slowly. but they also don't care if i spend my whole shift on my phone browsing Cinemaphile
>He phoned it in
The biggest sign of this was that he didn't even bother trying to find new writers or voice actors. Dude literally called up all the ex Futurama people and offered them jobs.
He must have also just finished watching some boosh
If you think he does things for "money" you're a fricking idiot. Bro has enough for generations
You don't have enough evidence for this statement. You don't know his finances in full, you know he makes money. People who are accustomed to making a lot of money also tend to grow accustomed to spending a lot of money.
The cast are paid half a million per episode bro, the show owner makes multiples of that.
he was already rich enough that this project was hardly worth his time, why make this instead of fricking b***hes in hawaii or something?
>why make this instead of fricking b***hes in hawaii or something?
he was lucky he only caught a little heat for his Epstein island shenanigans
I liked the background jokes and the world building. A little less convoluted overarching story and some better character dynamics could have made this really fun.
I want to lick Bean's bean.
i want to frick Bean so bad, even the headless version i don't care
He's a hack, he does a few character doodles and people build a show around it.
Leela and Nibbler ripoff.
Who is the target audience for this show?
I wonder that as well, this is rated for adults but no nudity or swearing.
doesnt she get naked in episode 1
alcoholics from r*ddit
Allegedly fantasy nerds but it seemed to be written by people who never read any fantasy.
Futurama was a sci fi love letter, whatever else you want to say about it. They were at least familiar with the conventions of the genre.
The first few episodes seemed like something an internet studio did after getting a big break. The pacing and directing were so amateurish that it undercut some of the better jokes.
It got better but that comedic timing was just slow and awkward to start.
He was thinking of adding to his enormous trust fund band. Baskin Roberts worthy.
Lucy was the only good character.
Someday we will have to open the Pandora box of secondary characters being way better than the main protagonists.
Money
Futurama worked because he and his gaggle of Gen X geeks liked scifi and paid homage to their favorite scifi movies and shows
With Disenchantment, it feels like they either hated Fantasy as a genre or only knew a basic handful of tropes to go off of
The green Bart thing being a Keebler elf is a good example. Him and his people could have sped off of the Shire, or they could be like Dwarves from LotR, Dwarf Fortress or whatever who go into mines for rocks and get fricked up by beholders and druegar and shit (thus giving green Bart an excuse to do his Hermey the elf I want more out of life schtick.
But Groening went with muffin baking Keebler elves because that those corporate chodes are probably the first thing his fat ass thinks of when someone says “elf”
>"their concept of fantasy is le bad, they should have used tolkien"
You guys have basic b***h fantasy leanings. It's clearly supposed to be more of a mix of Greek mythology and European fairy tales, and retro TV.
I never said anything about LoTR. You're amalgamating different complaints into one hivemind to dismiss them out of hand.
In your opinion did they have any familiarity with what you listed beyond that of a random housewife?
what is this show even about
i've never seen anyone who likes it or talks about it
Would’ve been good with a male lead.
