The Official Futurama Griefing Thread - Revived for Hulu because Matt Groening needs to milk his cartoons to death

He would have been if Bender didn't shoot a ballot box.
At least they made sure to include a joke where after that happened he ended up a broke taxi driver who gets robbed of his last few bucks. They at least remembered to poke a little bit of fun at him even if it was super gentle. Can't see that happening today.

Speaking of Gore, i swear to god he used Futurama either in or to shill an inconvenient truth, anyone else remember that.
His head referenced it in Benders Big Score but I don't know if it was in the Comedy Central seasons.
 
So I'm guessing disenchantment flopped?
Ask yourself how one could make Lord of the Rings boring and the answer will be "Make it satirical. Okay, now make it anti-humor."
John DiMaggio is a massive sjw and Trump derangement syndrome victim.
This is the worst news yet.
 
Phil LaMarr is famous for portraying an asian character with a stereotypical asian accent.
He's black, nobody cares. Billy West playing Amy Wong's father might not fly anymore. John DiMaggio played a bunch of black (or "black-coded") characters like Barbados Slim, so I guess they'll get a black guy for them.
 
Apparently DiMaggio said no because he think's he's worth more than Hulu wanted to pay him. (Which is presumably less than he was making before with Fox/Comedy Central.)

I know he's a piece of shit... and I'm not privy to what he was actually offered, but in this one specific instance, I don't think he's wrong.

I don't have Hulu right now, and it's only logical to assume that they're making this Futurama revival to get former Futurama fans to subscribe to Hulu.

For me personally, if you can't even get Bender right, I'm not interested in the revival. And I'm definitely not alone there either.
Without knowing any of the details, I do think that DiMaggio is probably worth what he thinks he is worth, and this Futurama revival will likely bomb without him.
Let's be honest though, it will still bomb even if they end up getting him.
 
Is anyone honestly surprised that he demanded double what everyone else agreed to?
 
I know Billy West is allegedly in Minecraft. I don't have enough dox to make a thread about this. I knew his nephew for a brief time ages ago. Him and his family are horror cows.

You've made a couple cryptic comments about Billy West in this thread. I've seen a lot of talk about the dude online, seems like almost everyone loves him. Can you tell us more?

He allegedly took CP of his grade school nephew around the early to mid 90s. I know cliche! I heard this from a few people in real life. I don't know if it went to court or was an out of court settlement because reasons. I don't have enough dox to prove nor disprove this. I want 100% proof this happen. So no thread, sadly. Edit: I forgot to add Minecraft.

Jesus Christ. I honestly hope this isn't true. Like... fuck, dude. Billy West?

I don't know why you're surprised. If you believe people like Elijah Woods and Cory Haim Hollywood is full of pedophiles and the casting couch is used just as often for child actors as it is or adults.

Doesn't mean it's not shocking to learn about someone you once admired. Obviously there are people like John K, who was always known to be a piece of shit even before the pedofork stuff came out.

Actually, he said everyone on the cast deserved to be paid more for their talent, not just him. People just ran with the “HE WANTS MORE MONEY” thing to make him look bad.
 
One thing that worries me the most is gonna be the political commentary. The original show kept it fairly light with shit like nixon but the Comedy Central run started getting more heavy handed, for example, making an episode based on the 2012 election and Obama's birth certificate drama.
Literally considered the worst episode lol
