Futurama News all the latest things happening in the year 3000 now

Suddenly I have an opinion on Proposition Infinity. Hope she fairs better than her namesake, though.

[Reply #201 on:]

It's a Solar Helium Mine from "The Inhuman Torch" episode.

[Reply #202 on:]

Amazing! That simply looks so cool.
"Bender becoming a famous firefighter" - perhaps not so cool.

[Reply #203 on:]

I see only one door. Where is the airlock?

[Reply #204 on:]

I see only one door. Where is the airlock?

Doors/Gates for Starships usually feature only one door in sci fi.
(e.g. Space Balls).
It just looks cooler when a Starship flies by, instead of slowly creeping through one door, waiting, with the door behind it closing, and the other airlock door starting to open.

[Reply #205 on:]

Is that a zorb?

[Reply #206 on:]

Is it supposed to resemble that orb from Star Trek?

[Reply #207 on:]

That is seriously fucking cool.

Also, I got more of a Death Star vibe from it.

[Reply #208 on:]

I was trying to sound stupid, but is there actually something in Star Trek like that?

[Reply #209 on:]

Is it just me, or does this image not actually look like something from Futurama?

Either way, its pretty damn cool.

[Reply #210 on:]

It is gorgeous! The animators really outdone themselves on the sun

[Reply #211 on:]

Aw, so beautiful. I always love how light is animated in Futurama. I peered closely at the mechanical contents of that orb, but couldn't quite make much sense of it. It would be cool to see it in more detail when the episode airs.

Hm, I guess. It looks like there's platforms for people to work on though. I must say it does look very cool and well detailed.

[Reply #213 on:]

I hope "The Inhuman Torch" surprises us like the other "character-gets-a-new-job" episode, "Law and Oracle"

[Reply #214 on:]

With the inclsuion of the helium mining thing, it should have a crazy/fun sci-fi twist. Plus the PE ship kitted out like a firetruck in the preview clip thing looked really awesome.

If the show comes back again, they need to do an episode about Leela becoming a paramedic to complete the set.

*edit*

Big one on the Countdown today:

[Reply #215 on:]

The professor looks terrible if you ask me... Bender's design in so awsome however! (and Nibbler so cute^^) I love how bender has a water-thingy(brandblusser...) build in his hand

[Reply #216 on:]

I like the Professor's outfit, nice touch leaving the slippers in too.

[Reply #217 on:]

The professor looks terrible if you ask me...

It's the hat.
But slippers...

I don't like that they made Nibbler dalmatian-looking.

[Reply #218 on:]

Bender and Nibbler looks great but the professor seems some kind of sailor XD

[Reply #219 on:]

Either way, its pretty damn cool.

Futurama usually sports an art deco like 30s retro sci fi look. The animation obviously benefits from the smooth surfaces.
The "Death Star Mine" sports a rather "kit bashed" look as incoporates in Star Wars, together with the "realistic industry" being established in Sci Fi with the first Alien movie.

The "Death Star Mine"

[Reply #220 on:]

I like those outfits. Hopefully this won't be all we see of Nibbler.

Hang on, isn't there supposed to be a Nibblonian episode this year? Or was that abandoned or something?

[Reply #221 on:]

It looks pretty cool. I really like the stripe, for some reason.

[Reply #222 on:]

Does anyone else think that Nibbler's third eye is way too high? It should be lower.

[Reply #223 on:]

"Bender as Firefighter"
Aww, I wanted for Bender to be classified as a firetruck.

I'm loving Nibbler as a Dalmation, but I agree with UrL, the third eye is way too high.

[Reply #224 on:]

I also agree that the eye is too high, as well as being too...erect, maybe? I feel like it usually appears floppier.

I'm looking forward to seeing Dalmatian-Nibbler, too; I thought "Nibbler on the Roof" was funny in Overclockwise, so I'm excited to see Nibbler outside of the roles of pet or ambassador again.

[Reply #225 on:]

"Bender as Firefighter"
Aww, I wanted for Bender to be classified as a firetruck.

...or paint him red, he'd make an acceptable hydrant

[Reply #226 on:]

Indeed he would.

Is water going to come from him or is it gong to be like FoaB where he hooks one arm up to a tap and it comes out the other?

[Reply #227 on:]

Good question.
I was rather thinking of AtPH: When Bender is mistaken for a something (canon), he gains that device's abilities.

[Reply #228 on:]

I think the Professor's pants and belt need to be hiked up one more shirt button. They're practically at 106-year old height.

[Reply #229 on:]

Woah!

[Reply #230 on:]

Covered in gold? Wonder what's that about.

[Reply #231 on:]

*edit*

Never mind.

[Reply #232 on:]

Gold might be used for protection of sun light.

[Reply #233 on:]

Covered in gold? Wonder what's that about.

The Futurama cast got word that their show is cancelled so turned themselves yellow to try and fit into The Simpsons...

[Reply #234 on:]

Well, that "gold" coating could be the Professor's "antiheat" technology.

We have an episode called "The Inhuman Torch," in which people have begun mining helium from the sun, thanks in part to the Professor's antiheat technology.

[Reply #235 on:]

Well, that "gold" coating could be the Professor's "antiheat" technology.

Was just about to edit my previous post and say that.

But wouldn't the helium mine be covered in it too?

[Reply #236 on:]

Leela looks like a minion from "Despicable Me".

[Reply #237 on:]

The return of the golden Bender XD

Leela looks like a minion from "Despicable Me".

Oh dear you're right!!

[Reply #238 on:]

Everyone looks so shiny. Also, they should be careful with those goggles. They could do nothing.

[Reply #239 on:]

I love how the PE ship is coated in gold in the background too.
