Futurama: Rage Against the Vaccine (2023)
Season 11, Episode 7
1/10
struggle against the originality
12 October 2023
First an episode making fun of amazon earlier in this season which is about as original as ordering a pepperoni pizza at Panucci's Pizza or any real pizza place. Now we got this episode taking shots at a certain virus and all the nonsense that surrounded it. Sure on paper this may have worked but there is zero edge to this compared to when Futurama was on FOX or Comedy Centeral. Without the edge they might as well have used this as a The Simpsons episode. I'd rather have that certain virus again than have to watch this episode in its entirety for a second time it was that bad.

I groaned and sighed a few times how stupid this episode was. Was there any human involvement in this episode or did some lazy person just use AI to write this script and made the tiniest of tweaks to make it a "futurama" episode. I wanted to turn this off two or three times how dumb it got. Especially near the end. The people who wrote this should never write another episode again. How low is the bar to become a writer for Futurama these days. The animation and everything is the same as say 20+ years ago, the voice actors are still doing a good job but the writing is just awful. There always seemed to be a balance of social commentary, yet going to some adventure where it all blended together. Instead of this garbage where it was just this dull, non edgy horror show. A shadow of what the show once was. I'd never believe this episode would have been green lit. Is hulu to blame? Who knows.
