classicswimIt’s a recycled premise from an established favorite episode of the series... seemingly forgetting entirely what made the original good in the first place.
It’s so fucking superficial. Literally all of it.
Robot Devil was the only good part of the episode, and even then, still nothing to say. No purpose.
“You’ve already bargained your soul 6 or 7 times now!” Being self aware doesn’t change the reality of a bled out husk. I’m sorry. You do not get that benefit of the doubt anymore. You’ve had THREE YEARS to improve and do something.
The King Kong vs Godzilla subtext was in the 2000 episode lol. It didn’t waste time, a dumb Hollywood story that they made funny in less than 10 minutes and moved on.
Why it needed to be stretched out into an utter less-than is beyond me. It’s shitty for parody sake and it’s shitty for having nothing on the fucking table besides “uhhhhhhhhhh Bender big again?”
Fry and Leela sucking being the only sub plot. Thirteen. Fucking. Seasons.
I know all the episodes are out, but congratulations on using the opening episode to just wave that all originality and ambition that once was is gone the tubes with your meaningless bullshit.
It isn’t the worst episode by far, but the act of not trying anymore is my new grave annoyance with this thing. Write comedy.
