Hi, folks!

I am not a fan who can cite trivia and remembers detailed plots of all episodes, so please do correct me if I am wrong.

Watching the 2026 season of Futurama, I feel that it is less kind than the previous ones. From Leela saving Bender “if we have time,” through Bender telling Professor “I hate you,” to Fry being repeatedly slapped, it seems different. Maybe livelier, but in a way how Archer was livelier than Futurama.

Do you get the same feeling or is it me getting older?

    I think we can look at this from the perspective of this community: when the exodus from Reddit happened after the APIcalypse in 2023, this community blew up in both membership size and excitement for the new season. Since then it’s been basically silent starting with the end of the first Hulu season.

    I don’t think the longtime fans have loved the Hulu seasons (I haven’t). I don’t think anyone truly hated them either. They’re only okay.

    They also grow on me over time, but I will never love them the same as the way I loved the original Fox seasons.
