Drusas, in Guest star next season

He's so pompous.

CannedTuna,

Agreed. I’d rather he not make an appearance

datavoid,

If they show him in an honest light (such as him talking down at someone as a head in a jar) it could be funny

Are you intimidated by it or something? He’s a smart guy that entertains.

Psythik,

His intelligence makes him arrogant. Just cause you’re smarter than most people, doesn’t mean that you have to be a dick about it. Yet here we are.

Drusas,

You can be intelligent without being arrogant. Otherwise, completely agree.

You don’t think that maybe people are just insecure about it? How does one display that they are smarter! Usually through conversation. So I think that is natural.

FooBarrington,

No, I don’t think that maybe people are just insecure about it, because there are more intelligent people than him who are less pompous. If you were right, that wouldn’t be possible.

dill,
Resistentialism,

Like, just look at Brian Cox. He’s a smart man. And he seems really nice. Stephen Hawking was a genius, and I’ve never heard a bad thing about him.

Drusas,

What does intimidation have to do with anything? He's just pompous. He's smart and educated, but that doesn't mean he's not full of himself. And I don't find him particularly entertaining.

magnusrufus,

I used to be a fan of Neil until I saw how he conducts himself in person. He is not only arrogant but also needlessly cruel. I watched him make a girl break down and cry in front of an auditorium full of hundreds of people by ridiculing her and the question she asked during the q and a part of his visit. It was intentional and unnecessary. And he even made condescending remarks referring back to her after later questions so it wasn’t like he was accidentally too heavy handed with his initial dismissal of her.

iegod,

I don’t know him and never met him so my opinion is colored purely by the content of his I have seen, and I get the same impression. For someone being poised as Sagan’s successor, I’m not convinced he’s got the right approach.

Drusas,

He sure as hell is no successor to Sagan.

RampantParanoia2365,

I guess his portrayal in Stargate Atlantis was actually pretty accurate.

Theharpyeagle,

I still credit him with really sparking my interest in science, but he’s taken a the lighthearted question of “could this work in the real world?” to extremely pedantic and unpleasant extremes. Who the fuck cares if “uhm actually the stars didn’t look like that when the Titanic went down”?

I don’t think he’s a bad person, just a jerk and not someone I’d want to be stuck in an elevator with. Nowadays you have people like Randall Muroe, Adam Savage, Steve Mould, etc. who still dive into speculative physics while keeping it fun and fostering curiosity.

magnusrufus,

I’m not sure if I would say he’s a bad person. Much more certain about saying that he is not a good person. I look forward to someone else stepping into the role of scientific ambassador to the common folk.

randomwords, in A picture you can hear.

All glory to the hypnotoad!

kd637_mi, in Futurama Revival to Cover COVID, Bitcoin, NFTs, and More

Hmm that’s not promising news for me. I’ve found Futurama works best when it’s handling things not directly related to current events. I’ve been concerned about this season in general since I heard about it, more so after seeing the trailer, and even more so now.

Graphy,

I’ve been watching new Simpsons for whatever reason and every single episode is about social media or tech company.

Dread is the only way I can describe the feeling I get when I realize the episode is about like Uber or Elon.

Swedneck,
@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

reading this gave me fucking ptsd flashbacks to the few pieces of such media i’ve viewed, pretty sure i’ve only caught snippets of modern simpsons and stuff like the emoji movie and yet it’s like it’s infected my brain.

tkohldesac,
@tkohldesac@lemmy.world avatar

As someone who’s gone through those same feelings on previous revivals, my recommendation is to remain cautiously pessimistic.

I have no strong feelings, one way or the other.

CorneliusTalmadge, in S5E11 "Three Hundred Big Boys" aired Jun 15, 2003 and references Dwight buying 5 shares of Amazon. The closing price for Amazon (AMZN) on June 13, 2003 was $1.70 - the latest price is $126.94.

That’s not including the 20:1 split, so his 5 shares became 100 shares… over $12k if he still has them.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

No, because he will buy them in 3003 and we don’t know what its value will be then.

CorneliusTalmadge,

True. I guess we don’t even know that it would be the same Amazon. Who knows what it could devolve into given the amount of time. Could just be an entirely new company that shares the same name as some random company from a thousand years ago.

ch0ccyra1n,
@ch0ccyra1n@emeraldsocial.org avatar

@CorneliusTalmadge I like that idea.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Probably less than now because MomCorp. has monopolized everything.

PunnyName,

Yeah we do. He had 2¢ left, and was gonna buy 5 shares.
And since the writers are time traveling aliens from an alternate dimension, we know they were facts.

LennethAegis, in Futurama | Official Trailer | New Season July 24, 2023
LennethAegis avatar

So excited. I see the video mostly focuses on covid and robot western episodes, though I see the parasites, alien invasion and robot santa that might be part of their own too.

FiskFisk33, in Me waiting for July 24th

Wait, there's a new season coming?!

BasicWhiteGirl,
BasicWhiteGirl avatar

As the title of the post says it will be released on July 24th!

"If you're US based then Hulu is where you'll be able to stream the Futurama reboot. However, if you're watching anywhere else in the world, Disney Plus will almost certainly be the home of the new series of Futurama since Hulu isn't available outside the US."

HWK_290, in Laying low in Greece.

Leela: Space bandidos have been operating in this quadrant so you’ll each take 8-hour shifts guarding the safe. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

Fry: Wait, hold on. I don’t like the sound of that. Let’s just go alphabetically

Leela: OK. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

Fry: Wait, let’s go by rank.

Leela: OK. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

Fry: Flexo outranks me?

Flexo: That’s “Flexo outranks me, sir”!

megavolt, in Is it his Penis???

From the size, I assume his nose.

Rootiest,
@Rootiest@lemmy.world avatar

Nope, that’s his lower horn

mack7400,

That’s what I thought. Like a nod to Sleeper.

bingbong,

Yeah, his penis

  • Lrr of the planet omicron persei 8
moistclump,

Closer to the eye there’s a nose lookin thing there already.

rubythulhu,

Can’t be. Fry’s nose was broken at some point in childhood, that’s why it is always drawn with an extra bump that the rest of his family doesn’t have.

cybervseas,

You mean his human horn?

anarchrist,

Lower or upper?

Nacktmull, in ‘Futurama’ Renewed for Two More Seasons at Hulu
BruceTwarzen,

If the quality is as good as the last season, i'd rather keep my money.

KidsTryThisAtHome,

I feel like I’m in the minority when I say I was REALLY bored during this most recent season. The jokes just did not land, they tried too hard and tried to be meta too often. Also a lot of the jokes are making fun of modern things, as opposed to what it used to be, which was an exaggerated take on what the future could be. It also just seemed like a lot of the episodes were most “remember this episode from an earlier season? Well we’re doing it again but slightly different!”

I wish John DiMaggio had stuck to his guns.

madcaesar,

I haven’t watched yet, this sounds like Futurama is being flanderized?

MaxPower, in ‘Futurama’ Renewed for Two More Seasons at Hulu

Well I liked the last season and so did my wife. Even though it was certainly not the best season, enough people liked it so much Hulu ordered 2 more seasons. They would not do that if people did not like it. That’s what I’m telling the haters.

BruceTwarzen,

Velma got renewed for a new season, so obviously it is really good.

We would need Google to aggregate instances together for the benefit of search results, but the host instance is great to see.

Maybe when Reddit removes indexer access, Google may put some effort towards replacing it, but I wouldn’t give my hopes up waiting for Google Search to get better.

Oh my god, people here are so over theirself it’s so sad.

Enjoy it or stop watching. You don’t need to suffer.

I loved old Futurama, and I choose to watch the new episodes because I really like the show. Some more than others, that’s it. I’m really grateful they are making more episodes.

@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

the only bad episode of futurama i watched was zapp gets cancelled and zoidberg and his movie relativr

I_Clean_Here,

Nice story, professor. Let’s get you back to your room now, okay?

willis936,

Absurd. My wife and I quote this all the time.

nieceandtows, in We did it!

Interestingly, I searched on ddg, and Lemmy is on 8th place, and reddit is not in the first page.

I’ll warm up the probulator.

JohnDClay, in Leela *eyeballing* Fry? [comics]

I just think it’s funny that zoidberg’s mouth is apparently inappropriate.
