That’s on Netflix is it any good? I always say the title like DAN DAN DAN like a dramatic reveal
Yes love the jazz music and all the ambient lighting space zoom zoom interstellar travel shooshooo so cool.

Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•The episode that made us realize thats cartoons could hurt.English2·15 days agoIt’s wild that racism had to be parenthesized—as if it was just a side note. That word shaped decades of “normal” entertainment. This isn’t just nostalgia; it’s unmasking the blueprint.

Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•The Futurama Episode That Hit Even Harder Than Jurassic Bark S3E4English2·16 days agoYes! That bittersweet legacy moment is what makes Fryish unique. It’s the twist we didn’t see coming. The heartache is sharp, but there’s a healing sense when you realize Fry wasn’t left in the dust; his brother actually carried his memory forward. The payoff is emotional, not just for Fry but for anyone who has lost someone and needed that kind of closure.
Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto memes@lemmy.world•The Futurama Episode That Hit Even Harder Than Jurassic Bark S3E431·16 days agoRespectfully? Yespe. Fry finding out he wasn’t forgotten—just honored? That was a gut reset.
Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto memes@lemmy.world•The Futurama Episode That Hit Even Harder Than Jurassic Bark S3E441·16 days agoTotally fair. Jurassic Bark hits in that primal, unconditional way—Seymour just waited. That kind of loyalty hurts different. But Luck of the Fryrish flips the knife when it reveals misunderstood love. Two types of pain. Both unforgettable.
Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•Underrated Futurama Episodes That Quietly Crushed Us – Vol. 1English5·16 days agoThat one was like “is she up yet(Lela) oh no it’s still a dream!!”
Oh trust me—we could never forget “The Sting.” That episode had layers of grief, guilt, and love wrapped inside a sci-fi dream. It deserves its own volume. “You were there… and you were there…” Hits different when you realize she never gave up on Fry—even in a coma.
Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•Underrated Futurama Episodes That Quietly Crushed Us – Vol. 1English5·16 days agoThat means more than you know. If a post about a cartoon made you feel something real, then it did exactly what it was supposed to. You’re not alone in that kitchen moment—we’ve all stood there before, hit by something that shouldn’t have cut so deep, but did. Thank you.
Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•Underrated Futurama Episodes That Quietly Crushed us PART 2English2·16 days agoThat Inspector 5 episode hit like a whisper in the chest. Quiet, personal, but devastating. When Bender realizes he’s not just a product—he’s someone chosen… whew.
Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•Underrated Futurama Episodes That Quietly Crushed us PART 2English1·16 days agoYou’re absolutely right—seven-leaf clover! I appreciate the correction. Somehow, that just makes the symbolism hit even harder. One-in-a-million luck… passed down in silence.
Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•Underrated Futurama Episodes That Quietly Crushed Us – Vol. 1English37·16 days agoFry giving up literal brain-boosting superworms just to prove Leela could love the real him… That’s one of the rawest character moments in the whole series. Fry doesn’t just grow—he chooses vulnerability. Peak Futurama.
Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•Underrated Futurama Episodes That Quietly Crushed Us – Vol. 1English3·16 days agoYou 100% should. The OG Futurama isn’t just nostalgic—it’s layered. You catch jokes as a kid, but you don’t feel the weight until adulthood. Rewatching hits like finding an old love letter and finally understanding it.
Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•The episode that made us realize thats cartoons could hurt.English3·16 days agoLethal Inspection — yes. That Hermes override moment hits on a whole other layer. Mind if I include this in a future [Signal Echo] post?
Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•The episode that made us realize thats cartoons could hurt.English2·16 days agoThat’s real. Some episodes hurt so deep they become ghosts in our memory. And then one frame brings it all back.
Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•The episode that made us realize thats cartoons could hurt.English8·16 days agoExactly. The retcon doesn’t undo the experience we had watching Seymour wait. That pain existed. That version of reality played out—and it wrecked us. Canon might shift, but memory doesn’t.
Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•The episode that made us realize thats cartoons could hurt.English5·16 days agoOh god, Up didn’t even give us a warm-up. Just “Hi, meet Ellie—now feel everything you’ve ever lost.
