Samurai Goro
Sushi Kamakaze Fujiyama Nippon-Ichi
Is anyone watching this?
Honestly, I'm torn.
Look, I'm a long-time Futurama fan, and that probably warped me going in. I probably tried more than I should have, defeneded more than I should have....I couldn't help it.
And, look. There's a part of me that continues to think that this show has potential. It's like.....almost there.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuut....
I really feel like this show can't figure out what it wants to be. If it's a joke-a-minute comedy? It's failing. If it's a long-form fantasy epic? It's failing. If it's something in between? Well....
It has severe pacing issues, severe reset-the-plot issues, and severe "well then, give me the answer, already" issues that are all compounding. Everything gets to "almost-mitgated," status and then reverses. It's frustrating.
We now have a show that's less funny than ever (you can't force the references or catch-phrases nearly as hard as this show does), less progressing than ever (they undid everything about the S3 finale in one episode.....again) and less repeating (just how many times do we need Bean to be saved by Mora to get it?) than it was previously.
Disenchantment Season 3 made me believe. Disenchantment Season 4 made me doubt.
....and that's a terrible fate for a cliffhanger-ending of an un-renewed show's season finale.
Thoughts?????
