[futuramashowdown]

Welcome to….

Futurama Showdown!

The Showdown will consist of 72 of Futurama’s characters. Due to the nature of the show, I wasn’t able to include all the characters I wanted to, but I tried to make sure that popular or often discussed characters were included, but I am biased and included a few characters that I just really wanted to see (this is for you, Pazuzu).

Most of the characters will be fighting it out alone, but some of the couples/groups in the show are placed together for simplicity’s sake. Yell at me in my asks if you so desire.

The bracket was almost entirely randomized. I put characters on a wheel and spun it, and then randomized the order or the lineups.

Machete and Vasco are so pomegranate-and-the-hand-that-slices coded. To me.

Pomegranates are seen as messy, bloody, inconvenient fruits. You slice or tear or bite and in return for your effort you come away underwhelmed, disgusted, and stained too deep to wash. The consumption of a pomegranate is a violent act of defilement, for both the fruit and the eater.

But that is because most do not understand how to open a pomegranate. They have little patience for the precise carving. They see no point in coreing the fruit gently, no reason to be reverent as they pull the quarters apart. When done correctly, opening a pomegranate leaves little mess. Your fingers will still stain, your knife will still slick, but there will be no pool of crimson drowning both you and the fruit.

The seeds are only sweet to those who understand the merit of a light hand and intricate slicing. Why put in so much effort for a food so bitter and clearly armored against consumption? Surely it must not yearn to be eaten.

nutrek writers b like 'if we dont find someone to oppress RIGHT NOW nobody is gonna watch star trek' which fr isnt the case bc if star trek: picard had been about picards life on the vineyard and literally did nothing but be a story about him making the most delicious wines and characters from other treks occasionally visiting him i would have watched the whole damn thing multiple times over

"You need necromancy to fix a rotten board."

Highlight from a conversation about airship mechanics, and the way you can't just remove rot the same way you'd remove paint or bloodstains. See, rot isn't so much a thing that befouls a surface so much as a sign of what has occurred. Like burn marks.

You gotta regrow the damaged area, and we all know what branch of magic handles regrowing dead material.

("And that's above my pay grade," says the mechanic. "Or above board, if you'll pardon the pun.")

writing fry like a child:

unoriginal

flanderizes his stupidity in the same way as every other flanderized 'stupid' character out there

vaguely ableist

makes his relationship with leela very weird

writing bender like a child:

comically surreal for his species

reframes his egotism in a more funny/compelling/sympathetic way by just having him in a perpetual developmental stunt

somewhat canon compliant (he started the series as a two-year-old)

makes his relationship with fry and leela even funnier

So I finally watched Futurama, definitely one of my favorites. Of course I had to draw some stuff ✨️🥰

I'm in the middle of season 11 and I'm enjoying it so far. I knew I'd love this show before I started it ✨🥰
