Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•The Futurama Episode That Hit Even Harder Than Jurassic Bark S3E4English1·3 months 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.

That said: “He named his son after me” in Luck of the Fryish still punches me in the soul every time.
Real question: what’s the most underrated emotional Futurama episode?
Threaded@lemmy.worldOPto Futurama @lemmy.world•The episode that made us realize thats cartoons could hurt.English0·4 months agoThis was the first time a cartoon made silence feel louder than any scream. No dialogue… just loyalty.
Curious—did this scene ruin you instantly, or was it one of those slow ache moments that hit after the episode ended?
That’s on Netflix is it any good? I always say the title like DAN DAN DAN like a dramatic reveal
