How can the pandemic be only 3 years old yet already feel dated as a source of humor? Maybe it’s the 18 months we spent living every day on repeat or the subject’s been beaten into the ground, but jokes about Q-tips are a bit tired. That one minor gripe aside, I’m excited for new Futurama.

That's exactly what I felt watching the trailer.

In their defence, the development cycles are quite long… takes a while to write a script, animate it, and voice it. But I do fear that it will be a shadow of its former self. 10 years is a long time.

It was already a shadow of its former self during the last revival. I'll happily accept that kind of shadow in 2023, though.

Yeah, even a shadow of Futurama is something I crave ^^.

I found COVID era storytelling to be very interesting 1.5yrs ago, now it feels very old.

It will be worse than the original Guild Strike, you could only kinda notice something was off watching late 00's content, now it will be too obvious.

That being said, in a couple decades it'll be interesting for generations that weren't born yet.
