Only one that sounded off to me was Calculon(sp?).
It was only Hermes that sounded older. Everyone else sounded the exact same.

Weird. To me, it was just Calculon. It was close but.. off. I need to rewatch some older episodes while I wait for the next one I guess.

I'm not gonna write an entire essay on it. I just thought the Hulu revival got off to a really shitty start and based on the synopses of future episodes it seems like they're going to lean into the "(characters) dealing with (slightly outdated pop culture trend)" trope a lot of TV reboots have done.

Nothing in the premiere made me laugh and I kept noticing how stiff the animation looked. As far as the voices go I have no idea why everyone's LARPing like they replaced the cast since everyone's back on board. Some of the voices just sounded off in the same way that Marge Simpson's voice sounds off since her VA is getting up there in age.

I haven't watched it. My attempt to get through the movies so I can dig into the Comedy Central era keeps stalling because Bender's Game is really uninteresting.

Bender's Big Score was always my favorite.

Bender's Game has a competent premise but the setup to get to the fantasy stuff feels like it drags out (I've seen it before). All the preamble with the fuel crisis doesn't engage me.

No, it's garbage. It's not as good as the original but that still leaves a lot of room for greatness and especially the later CC episodes were fantastic and a lot of fun.

The Late Philip J. Fry, Prisoner of Benda, Game of Tones and Meanwhile are as good as any episode from the first run, and better than a lot of them (the Blernsball episode, the Lucy Liu episode, and the one where Frys nose is stolen stand out as particularly mediocre).

The VA for Bender coming back is weird cause I seem to recall he like "stood his ground" on not returning and even put out a statement (nicely) telling fans to get over it and that they'll appreciate the new VA who replaces him if they give it a chance.

I didn't even realize it was over a contract dispute, I thought he was just done with the role and over it.

Different voices can really change a cartoon. Anyone remember early season Cartman versus now?

If I'm not mistaken the main boys have always been voiced by Stone & Parker. Parker is Cartman/Stan and Stone is Kyle/Kenny.

Yeah, looking it up, Parker just softened his voice for Cartman over the years. Unless that's what you meant, then my bad.

He felt they all deserved better pay than what was offered, and he has enough other projects going on that sitting it out wouldn't have hurt him. But they renegotiated and he joined back up afterward.

I felt like it was a pretty good episode, albeit very on-the-nose with the meta humor. My only real criticisms would be

  • I felt like the addition of Fry testifying in front of Nixon ruined the ending, it would have been much funnier to just end with Bender's "fade to black" line.
  • Might not have been great timing to include a joke about TV writers being lazy lol

I disagree with your second one. It is absolutely the best timing for it, in context. They literally worked themselves to death in the episode, and were still considered easily replaced by a machine. At which point, in context of the episode and according to Fry, those written by Bender were terrible. It's a perfect time to showcase that view.

It's a matter of opinion but honestly I found the first Hulu episode to be far better then the first Comedy Central episode. Or even most Comedy Central era episodes. Though it's too early to judge given this was just one episode.
