Second worst episode I’ve seen in this season so far (next to Children of a Lesser Bog). Can’t stand when they do these alternative animation episodes.
Hell, most of this season has been a disappointment. Dated jokes that fall flat more than they land. This used to be my favorite show but now I’ll be surprised if it lasts more than 2-3 seasons before getting canceled again.
First episode of this season to hit me in the feels. I kind of felt the whole simulation aspect had been done in a more clever way in Rick and Morty, but overall a very solid episode. What a breath of fresh air after the turd that was episode 9.
I stand by my opinion: It was AI/ChatGPT generated.
They let ChatGPT write an episode of Futurama, they animated and voiced it with effort, to prove that writers cannot be replaced by AI. They can now always point at this episode’s low ratings and tell executives “that’s why you need us”.
And they immediately contrasted that by doing the Block-Segment in E10 - to show that a good story, even with minimal animation, can still succeed and be more entertaining than AI.
That’s also why E10 is all about artificial intelligence and being simulated, that’s also why E1 (!) had that bit showing a writer’s room with dead, overworked people and bender as an AI replacing them, but producing crap. And guess which episode was reference in E10 again? Yep, exactly that episode 1.
A questionTo confirm, the Bender that knew how to fix the sim was from an even more outer simulation, thus proving that the ‘main’ universe was also a simulation? They didn’t explicitly say it but that would match the theme
Late to the party here, but yeah that was my take as well. As the inner simulation was about to burn planet express down, the professor made a comment about how catastrophic it would be given all the “doomsday” devices he has. I inferred that to mean that if all those doomsday devices went off, the outer simulation would be unable to simulate it, revealing that the “main” simulation was a simulation in itself; so outer bender came to the “main” simulation with the intention of stopping that from happening.
This season was great a lot of original content and this one topped all of the…I really loved this season and I feel like it lives up to the old episodes. I really don’t understand the bad reviews.
