Who's the best couple?

[Reply #80 on:]

That episode it without question Fry's worst, especially the end. It's like Murphy had it in for him that day.

[Reply #81 on:]

It was sadness, but without meaning.

Sadness without meaning is depression.

So getting offed at the end of the first movie by a paradoxal version of his best friend while clinging to a disgusting nudist alien was not Fry's worst moment? :P

Also Xanfor speaks the truth.  As per usual.

Lars' worst moment

but since

Fry hasn't got there yet, either emotionally or chronologically,

I'm not sure if it

counts as a Fry moment at all

Not sure I agree with that. The end of BBS shows that he's basically there already. I think that was one of the main themes of the movie. That Fry realised something it took Lars twelve years to learn.

Fry: "I have to do what'll make you happy, not what'll make me happy."

[Reply #85 on:]

OK, I got it.  The best couple is...Zapp & his own mirror reflection.

Maybe. It will be interesting to see how he is portrayed in tBwaBB and beyond.

[Reply #88 on:]

yeah, i think because BWABB continues on from BBS, it will be interesting to see what fry has learned, used in the second movie. in cartoon world, 90 minutes is a long time to use stuff like that

I don't think he'll be portrayed any differently. He'll probably be the same goofy moron we all know and love. I think what'll be different is the way he deals with Leela. You know a little less "Go out with me! Go out with me!" and a little more class/maturity.

[Reply #90 on:]

yeah, harrah! Shes going out with me!

[Reply #91 on:]

God (or should I say the writers) willing.

[Reply #92 on:]

Counting down the days until BWABB is released; I can't wait...

[Reply #93 on:]

Awww, man!

Wikipedia says that BBS was released in the US on November 27th and that tBwaBB will come out on June 24th.

Here in New Zealand we didn't get BBS until March 18th which was 112 days later. If the same delay with tBwaBB occurs it won't be out here till October 14th. Those 167 days are going to seem like forever.   

[Reply #94 on:]

Geez, that sucks.  What are they doing, delivering Futurama DVD's by Pony Express?

[Reply #95 on:]

Can't you just order it from the U.S., or is New Zealand in a different region?

[Reply #96 on:]

You could say that. I mean it is on the other side of the Pacific and in the southern hemisphere.

I'm in region 4 but now that you mention it, yes, I could order it from the US because I only watch DVD's on my computer and once I got the software 'fix' to overcome region restrictions I've had no problem viewing US-sourced DVD's.

Actually that makes me feel a lot better because getting it four months earlier than expected will more than make up for the extra expense of getting it shipped out here. And the stupid thing is that it's not like I haven't ordered DVD's from the US before, either. Just a few months ago I got An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Ernest (for... my, er... mother. Yeah, that's it, for Mother's Day. Honestly!) from the states because they were never released over here but for some reason it just hadn't occurred to me this time!

Ok, if we're getting to couples other than obvious ones, I'd say there is something special between Leela and Desert Muck Leech.

[Reply #102 on:]

And between her and Nibbler.

[Reply #103 on:]

I've been working on a Sal/Petunia fanfiction for the last couple of years. Their relationship inspires me.

[Reply #104 on:]

I think that some of the "fan art community" found on sites with "34" and "xxx" in their names have beaten you to that idea. By several years.

really? Leela and Nibbler.... that's um...... interesting

[Reply #106 on:]

That's not that uncommon. There's a lot of Rule 34 out there, I'm sure no Futurama character's been left out.

Also YivoxEveryone in the universe.

[Reply #107 on:]

That's it, I'm shipping Bender and his Ass.

[Reply #108 on:]

QNF, that's so stupid that it just might work...!

So, basically not only is there Internet. cartoon porn, but there's also a lot of it? that blows my mind. The worst I've come across is a website and some non-censored fanart.

[Reply #110 on:]

Bender and Assie is the best couple!

[Reply #111 on:]

I'm surprised nobody has shipped Nudar & Nudar yet..... They've definitely got the most heartfelt relationship in the series.

[Reply #112 on:]

Am I the only person who thinks the whole Amy/Kif thing is weird?

[Reply #113 on:]

No; I've often questioned if it was a good direction for the show to take. It kind of wiped out Kif's sarcastic, passive-agressive side of his personality.

[Reply #114 on:]

As being presented in episodes, it's hard to maintain, because Kif still is Zapp's assistance, so their relationship can't be reminded all the time as Fry and Leela's. Well, they're more secondary characters, so it's partly because they're not so important.

They were odd choice in the first place, because they are so different. However, it has been covered pretty well and there has been progress in their relationship.

[Reply #115 on:]

Personally, I don't like when Kif is featured in episodes without Zapp. I feel that he's only there to make Zapp's character funnier.

"Kif, I have made it with a woman. Inform the men."

[Reply #116 on:]

Am I the only person who thinks the whole Amy/Kif thing is weird?

Nope. Though it started rather well:

- Kif was sarcastic and nerved by Zapp, but stood no chance to make his stand against that oversized ego*.
- When he was paired up with Amy in AFTR, it improved him. He was Captain, the bystanders considered him someone deserving respect. Amy was the "cute litte thing". She might have her ways, might be stubborn about certain things, but certainly did not have Zapps ego. To cut a long story short: Someone who was not supposed to put Kif constantly under the thumb.

Well..unfortunately, this did not last very long.
Very quickly, Kif was subjected to extreme Flanderisation, and became that pussified whimp. The initial "The whimp suddenly IS someone" turned into "When Kif is no longer only the punching bag for Zapp, he now plays the punching bag for his GF, too".

*(That's also the reason I do not appreciate Zapp getting too much his comeupance in episodes. That character was designed to be a major assh*le. Yet, that's only one aspect. The "gets aways with his bullshit, though no one actually knows why people put up with him, and take his nonsense" was another integral part of this character.)

[Reply #117 on:]

I personally find the Kif/Amy thing weird mainly because of how random and quick it was. I mean they had like a five minute thing in " A Flight to Remember" and then two seasons later, he randomly shows up again.

[Reply #118 on:]

I've noticed a continuity eror in Amy and Kif's relationship- In season 2, she went out with Fry in "Put My Head on Your Shoulders", although She and Kif became a couple in Season 1,  in "A Flight to Remember". So, was she cheating on Kif at the time? Or what?

My Obsessive Futurama Fan-ism must Know!

[Reply #119 on:]

They weren't exclusive in " A Flight to Remember." I think it was a " kiss-you-then-move-on thing.
