I'm Back, Baby! - A Brief Retrospective of Futurama (The Comedy Central Era)

[@Agent_3141]

This is one of the few shows I will watch over and over again without getting bored.

[@donkylefernandez4680]

Bender ordering 2^x benders to do = 1 quadrillionth of a task because they're all too lazy is just one of the funniest concepts so far

[@donkylefernandez4680]

Leela is the str build of Velma's int build. Amy should've been Daphne but I can't tell if the writers did that intentionally or not.

[@donkylefernandez4680]

Good video!

[@UltraVioletKnight]

@@donkylefernandez4680 Amy is technically smart (PhD in applied physics ) although probably doesn't have Velma's deductive skills.

Perfect timing, g’nite fellas!

[@trevordickson8617]

Futurama is my favourite adult cartoon but I'm not 10 minutes into your video & you've already pointed out 2 plot points I missed. I think I keep falling asleep during the 4 longer episodes or 'movies'. Excellent analysis by the way. Well worth watching.

[@J.Soffer]

One of the greatest animated shows ever! Can not be topped!

[@Greendawn-di3dl]

Dude you're so insightful. I love your commentary. I've watched Futurama countless times and yet there's always new things to see

[@vodiact]

Thanks for helping me sleep with your videos! They are a great help ❤

[@viedogaems]

you’re welcome 😊

[@MrWhoopsies]

I end up watching these a few times because for the same reason.

Great videos, the personality really sells these longer type analysis.

[@plantplant2763]

hell yea, I'm excited to watch this, just watched the first part the other day, awesome!

[@northstringlarge]

How do I subscribe to a channel multiple times? How do I make this channel trend? You have given some of the best analysis videos of the shows you have covered (EXAMPLES of others being: your Smiling Friends and Moral Orel Vids) Even though you're flashy of a channel as, say. LS Mark, I think your style of analysis is better and deserves more praise. I think the way your vids have changed the way I see these shows, some of which I grew up with (on that note i gotta see your takes on any of the seth mcfarlane shows). So I think others would benefit in a similar way.

[@morgans.4890]

All these videos are great but bro ATE on this one

[@viedogaems]

yeah sorry i should get a better pop filter (I'm joking, thanks for the support.)

[@northstringlarge]

Im only like 40 minutes in, but I can see this becoming my new favorite Viedo of yours. The title is currently being held by your Smiling Friends vied.

[@sven_bender]

56:51 How did I miss this line on the first watch lol amazing stuff 🏆

[@viedogaems]

To be fair, I only failed English because I showed up to class less than half the time; I've actually enjoyed reading since I was young I just didn't like being told what to read.

[@sven_bender]

@@viedogaems I can tell! Your speech and diction are pretty damned good - as are your reviews in general

[@botanicram4149]

41:48 that was actually really profound, I think it’ll stick with me tbh

[@katc2040]

Now I need to rewatch part 1 😊again lol

[@nickanderson1951]

Love ya dad, rest easy

[@chillfox420]

Love your vids! 😎

[@rainyfeathers9148]

Good new, everyone! Bender and I are now married happily enough married👰🏾‍♀🤖. Anyway, the nerdiness of Futurama never gets old🤓🍿

[@marcusbrothers5221]

You must have been getting tired of this labour' of love. Towards the end the criticism becomes a little more petty. I've been there. Still enjoying this very much

[@viedogaems]

Especially with the more comedic-focused episodes, it was hard to come up with 'something' I could say that I hadn't said in an earlier review.

[@ThunderSims]

Love your vids :) i sleep to them and its nice having long videos because i eventually fall asleep Please respond? Thanks for your videos. Will be supporting you soon 🙂

Fashionably late to the comments, but is it me but when fans ask for a show to come back (think latest season of Futurama and S2 of Clone High) the hype dies down so much more that it just feels like show runners create a show to appease audiences more than it is to make a good and meaningful show. Like CH S2 basically turned into the parody that S1 was against. Futurama also feels like it's being brought back for the sake of being brought back (I know Meanwhile was also a cliffhanger ending for the sake of being eventually renewed but it changed so much.)

[@viedogaems]

Every so often I try to get back into a video game I used to play as a kid but lose interest after a week or so because it wasn't the game I was nostalgic for, but everything else about being a kid. Part of me feels like when people ask for a revival of a series, they're asking not so much for the show itself to come back but for the nostalgia to come back. So the showrunners have to either create the show in the same vein it used to be in and isolate their old fanbase by making something that feels old and out of date, or they can try to adapt the series to the modernized audience and time period but then lose so much of what made the original great in the first place. A part of it also comes down to a general fear of risk that's prevalent in so many businesses - why take a chance on a new ip when we can instead resurrect an older show, ignoring that great shows aren't just about creating the right product, but releasing it at the right time.

[@reallyjusthalo]

@viedogaems I'm seeing the parallels from gaming and TV now. Childhood nostalgia ---> Fans wanting the series back in some way ---> Show/Game trying to create new ideas ---> usually fails at what made them unique in the first place or doesn't create anything to risky, in turn losing an audience in some way. I've always been an advocate to try new things, I really like the new characters in CH S2 like (Candide, Confucius, Harriet, ect) as they set up more character dynamics unseen from the original run. Even think about Halo Infinite, I'm fond of the banished in the campaign while not being as fully fleshed out as the covenant was story wise. There's still room for development. I just wish creators/show runners/game studios took the due diligence and careful consideration to make games/series improve over time. A perfect example of this is the GoW games and Kratos development over the years. The timing factor is truly the ultimate make or break. You already know the Simpsons, for instance, came at a time when the typical TV family was supposed to be perfect and picturesque. It was unique, and trying to replicate it now would be impossible.

[@devin8954]

Boo yeah, i like this

[@tristanalain9239]

The retcon of Seymour's life and death is a net positive and improvement I feel. As well written as it is, Jurassic Bark is my pick for the worst episode of the series and the hardest to watch. That ending is too depressing and heartbreaking. Good boy deserved that change to a happy ending and life. Making Fry's choice to rest in peace more beautiful than an emotional kick to the balls with a spiked steel toed boot

This video literally popped up as I finished the last one

[@katc2040]

I would love more episodes on the mutants in the sewer. For some reason they fansinate me

[@viedogaems]

In the first episode they set up the ruins of Old New York being beneath New New York and they haven't done too much with that since. Especially strange since Fry returning to his old home has made some of the best moments.

[@katc2040]

​@viedogaems Yes! I always loved that concept, I want them to dive into mutant society and how mutants came to even exist,(if they havent done this storyline?) , almost like what the simpsons is doing with the townspeople

[@FullScreenTV_]

Ok so where is season 5??

[@MrZacdeath]

lets fucking goooooo

[@Pretermit_Sound]

[@KotoCrash]

I would really try to merge your plot recap with your analysis. Its a bit dry as is

[@Omenweaver]

If you don't like dry, this might not be the channel for you

[@KotoCrash]

@@Omenweaver His analysis is super interesting tho.

[@Omenweaver]

@@KotoCrash Of course it's interesting, but the presentation, is, I believe, intentionally dry, what with the monotone delivery and all. That's why I like it

[@viedogaems]

I've done just that in a few of my shorter videos. The short version of why I don't do that anymore is that it's much harder to organize the ideas or to make a monthly schedule that keeps me on pace to finish by the end of whatever deadline I set for myself. But I think that if I were to start reviewing different genres or mediums in the future (such as something serialized) I would make the change again.
