Star is included with Disney+ in practically every market outside the US and the monthly fee is actually cheaper than just D+ by itself in America. It's fricking bullshit that Disney is ripping off their home country like that.

I don't need to give money to Disney, I just borrow a friend's login.
It would be a loop of Brad Pitt throwing that little chinaman into a car door for an hour straight while Josh (played by the square jawed Asian guy from The Good Doctor) stands off to the side with one tear running down his face
Nathan Pyle takes one joke, then decides to make an entire comic series and dedicated Instagram fo that one joke, the gets asked to develop a TV series about that one joke.
Dude is wasn't even funny to begin with.
My cousin texted me an article that said it was a nicer Rick and Morty
I watched the first episode when I saw this thread (not on Apple, obviously), and it doesn't seem too bad. Nothing really special about it, but at least it's not all incest and dick jokes constantly with "le weird quirky humour".
the comic is one (1) single joke (what if we described human banality with stilted, detached language!?) so I cannot imagine how grating this would become after 20 minutes
It wasn't that grating to me, I quite like poking fun at human behaviours we've grown accustomed to but are actually kind of weird. I'm only on the second episode, though.
No, I'm white. I'm also a millennial, a man, English, and in a relationship (I think that covers all the usual shitposts). Frick the talmud, Hitler did nothing wrong.
No, because I hate my life as well, but I've found the show to be mildly amusing to at least make me smile at points. I know why I hate a lot of other comedies (predictability, self-righteousness, weak-set ups, etc.), but I'm fine with these comics.
It's the same as boring ass observational humor. The point is that it's supposed to make you feel clever and like you're part of the in-group when you 'get it' or you're supposed to just clap because you recognize thing. It's not actually about being funny. It's a very lazy form of comedy for a stupid, surface level audience.
I don't feel like I'm clever or in a group when I've been watching it. It's just innocuous humour through a slightly different perspective, the ego doesn't need to get involved in it at all.
Sorry, I'm not saying that's an objective fact, but you asked me why I dislike it, and that's my reason because I believe that's what the comedian is attempting. Or if not, then the latter applies where it's just lazy comedy.

That's fair enough, I can't guess what they intended, I can only say for myself that I don't get those feelings. You're probably right about lazy comedy, it is extremely safe and relies on the same gimmick for most jokes, but I've not found it too offensive to be annoyed by it. To me, it's like what I thought Solar Opposites was going to be before it just became as bad as Rick and Morty with the constant reliance on filth and edginess to be funny, so potentially that's why I'm fine with Strange Planet; it's so bland, it's a palate cleanser.

you're not moronic anon, everyone else in this thread is a fun-hating loser
this guy's comics are the most inoffensive, he could make Hallmark cards
No idea why so many people have a stick up their ass about inoffensive humor
I just tried to watch the first episode. I don't hate it, but I don't know how someone can sit through the whole thing. It's inoffensive, but boring. These comics have been around for years and the novelty of the joke wore off for me back then after reading a few strips.
>but I don't know how someone can sit through the whole thing
you don't, not every series is meant to be binged
that said, these comics suck and don't deserve to be adapted
Is this a kid's show? That children's book he wrote about the cat was really nice. I can't see a show like this having much appeal to adults, but this would be an amazing thing for kids, especially because you could use it to teach them all about things in the world while still being entertaining.
>4th episodes
Oh is the whole season out? I haven't watched it yet because I like watching by season rather than episode and just assumed they were releasing it one a week for some reason.
Nah just 3 episodes, apparently the 4th is next week. I'll probably forget about this after this thread and then remember again a year or so later and watch the rest.
I don't think the comics wver did a single political comment. It was always something about alien lloking things doing normal stuff and explaining themselves or talking like "I desire three cheeseburgers and a diet carbonated, syrup tasting, beverage."
Nah, it's more like a very lighthearted pseudo-philosophical look at society. Educational and quirky, somewhat funny, I think it's mostly targeted at children but enjoyable.
I've only seen posts vaguely describing it as being not bad. Nothing about the characters, plot, funny moments... Is it just the same joke the entire time?
First one's about a band breaking up and a flight attendant getting a promotion. Second one's about pets and not faking who you are to get people to like you. Third one's about an eclipse and people being superstitious. The premise is the same (aliens talking about a particular concept in a way that quickly analyses it). The second and third episodes had some recurring characters, but so far it's felt potentially like one-offs. Chances are they'll continue with the handful of characters they introduced but I can't remember any of them having names.
Episode 1, a popular band breaks up because the female lead singer gets a boyfriend, their fans are sad about it and it affects the relationship of another couple who were only connected by that band. The band realises they suck without the singer and need to change and believe in themselves. The other plot is an air hostess getting a promotion, which makes her colleagues hate her for being their boss, which upsets her. The band end up on her plane, she realises you can't make everyone happy all the time, the band realises they need to change, and the episode ends.
I gave it a go to see if it was worth recommending, it may be good for very young children but I burnt out within 10 minutes. What worked as one shot web comics, is terrible for a show.
Alien 1: "Greetings, inhabitant of Planet Blue! Why do you place your sustenance within a rectangular heating device until it transforms into a crispy form?"
Alien 2: "Ah, you mean toasting! It makes the food taste better."
Alien 1: "Curious! In our star system, we ingest nutrients directly from photosynthetic crystals."
Alien 2: "Hmm, I bet our Earth chefs can whip up something just as exotic!"
>Look, the dark biped is appropriating the wheeled device that was previously possessed by the white biped to transport his molecules in space >Now he's displaying a pointy alloy and inserting it in the white biped's body, from where red fluid is emanating >Humans are so silly!
I’m not watching anything on Apple plus. The streaming wars have gotten absurd. These companies need to bundle way more than they do.
>These companies need to bundle way more than they do.
I can unironically see Apple purchasing Disney lol.
I hope Hulu swallows Disney+ and Star, frick having that many different streaming services

Why does it matter to someone on Cinemaphile? I thought Cinemaphile users were smart enough to pirate.
>what if le human… was le alien??? xD
Bravo Leddit, bravo. Amazing
For a second I thought this was a reboot of fantastic planet
>remake of Fantastic Planet
would be based
>In cal arts american style
thank god is not
I saw blue people and the planet name and forgot the real title.
I'm glad I was wrong, but there were a few seconds of "surely they wouldn't"
Jesus, any mediocre reddit comic writer gets a show now? WTF
My MIL loves this stupid garbage
literally yes. expect the Lainey Molnar film next year
What would a Josh Luna show be like?
It would be a loop of Brad Pitt throwing that little chinaman into a car door for an hour straight while Josh (played by the square jawed Asian guy from The Good Doctor) stands off to the side with one tear running down his face

I'm kinda impressed that a guy can make a living for about a decade out of one joke.

it isn't grating to you because you're black.
I bet you don't even support total israeli genocide.

This stuff is on the same rung as Cathy or whatever else your mom reads and thinks is funny
>google the source material
>literally every comic is just this
Women love this kind of "humor" because they've never been funny ever
My mum loves these comics
I fricking hate this fad of "relatable" humor.
Have you ever introspected to find out why?
Not really, but if what you're trying to get at is that I hate my life then the answer is yes.
No, because I hate my life as well, but I've found the show to be mildly amusing to at least make me smile at points. I know why I hate a lot of other comedies (predictability, self-righteousness, weak-set ups, etc.), but I'm fine with these comics.

embettered
The guy on the couch should be saying "No"
I saw this one before the original, and I must say, it is better. Good even
that would be a lot better but then the comic's entire premise is pointless because it'd still be funny if they were normal people
Literally female humor.
When will Wormwood get an Apple tv show???
When will 'toss get an apple show?

I meant sit through an entire episode. I stopped episode 1 about half way in.
Trust me, if it were hated in the mainstream everybody here would love it.
I'm surprised Cinemaphile doesn't love it since the creator was outed as a chud years ago.
>I'm surprised Cinemaphile doesn't love it since the creator was outed as a chud years ago.
Please elaborate?
Dan Harmon made pedophile jokes about babies
Nathan Pyle doesn't believe in the autonomy of women.
Not every chud knows each other. Do you personally know every gay in the world?
I do as well, and normally I'm a really negative and cynical person for most things.
I think most of us are so jaded that we need a little easy dumb humour or we break.
Is this a kid's show? That children's book he wrote about the cat was really nice. I can't see a show like this having much appeal to adults, but this would be an amazing thing for kids, especially because you could use it to teach them all about things in the world while still being entertaining.
this guy got cancelled for saying he was glad his friend wasn't aborted
I feel like a true friend requires you to say you wish they WERE aborted.
Oh my god its literally white genocide. How DARE they adapt web comics?!
Pedophile-core
I'm an actual p*do and I think you're crazy. I watch cartoons like Ruby Gloom or e-girlrock or even Lion Guard, not this.
im guessing the humor is:
>Nothing le matters!
>but racism and sexism are still wrong unless directed at white people!!!
I'm on the 4th episodes and so far it's nothing like that.
>4th episodes

>All of these posts and nothing about the actual show.
Is nobody watching this? Is this show anything more than just the one same bit in the comics?
What are you talking about, I've been talking about the show throughout.
I've only seen posts vaguely describing it as being not bad. Nothing about the characters, plot, funny moments... Is it just the same joke the entire time?
Characters? The same blue homies, innt?
First one's about a band breaking up and a flight attendant getting a promotion. Second one's about pets and not faking who you are to get people to like you. Third one's about an eclipse and people being superstitious. The premise is the same (aliens talking about a particular concept in a way that quickly analyses it). The second and third episodes had some recurring characters, but so far it's felt potentially like one-offs. Chances are they'll continue with the handful of characters they introduced but I can't remember any of them having names.
How do they make an entire episode out of 4 panel comics? Give us a rundown on what happens in 1 episode.
Episode 1, a popular band breaks up because the female lead singer gets a boyfriend, their fans are sad about it and it affects the relationship of another couple who were only connected by that band. The band realises they suck without the singer and need to change and believe in themselves. The other plot is an air hostess getting a promotion, which makes her colleagues hate her for being their boss, which upsets her. The band end up on her plane, she realises you can't make everyone happy all the time, the band realises they need to change, and the episode ends.

You jest, but..
Alien 1: "Greetings, inhabitant of Planet Blue! Why do you place your sustenance within a rectangular heating device until it transforms into a crispy form?"
Alien 2: "Ah, you mean toasting! It makes the food taste better."
Alien 1: "Curious! In our star system, we ingest nutrients directly from photosynthetic crystals."
Alien 2: "Hmm, I bet our Earth chefs can whip up something just as exotic!"
it fits the webcomic
I’m seeing double! Eight comic panels.
