Interesting video I saw on YouTube which definitively shows whether Nibbler’s shadow was in the original airing of the pilot. Skip to 23:50 for the answer.

Meanwhile, Disenchantment seemed like it was written episode by episode. I guess it all tied up in the end, but I didn’t care about 90+ percent of the arcs, so the whole series felt half-baked to me. I enjoyed it, but something felt off, by miles.
Disenchantment’s plot felt like a D&D campaign where the DM winged it every week.
There’s a reason why most D&D campaigns aren’t adapted into TV shows
They made up for that with sexy Dagmar. And Merkimer…
I may be some sort of weirdo but Oona should be considered.
People like you give me hope. I really, really vibe with a grown woman slurping down drugs and pace-screaming in her garden.
And of course, piracy.
I’ll allow it. Honestly her “or is?” Is so great, but nobody gets it and they give me weird looks.
Seconded
I guess I’m in the minority who liked Disenchantment. Many of the jokes fell flat, but it was cozy.
Also Laughing Horse always made me lose my shit, it was so stupid but the animation, combined with John DiMaggio’s stupid laugh was perfect.
Also Jerry’s ability as a moron to rightfully question God’s ethics was so delicious.
I enjoyed it for the most part. I just had a hard time shaking how disjointed it all felt. It was missing something to keep it cohesive and flowing properly. I can’t put my finger on it.
I kept thinking I was accidentally skipping episodes.
I’m glad you mentioned it. I had a whole rant about how we cheer for Fry, because he’s stupid and means well, and we despise Elfo, because he’s an underhanded little prick.
We stopped watching it when Netflix pulled their no families bullshit
Tangent! ;)
Did it all tie up? The whole steamland plotline got dropped completely by the end and that was basically half the show’s worth of plot.
I am not sure, I was just guessing it did. The last episode just had me going, “oh, OK. Fair enough.” and didn’t really provoke any more curiosity out of me. I think between the general fractured feel of it all and duration between seasons… Should have named it Disengagement.
I kid, sort of.
Yeah, “tied up” just means it had an ending. I’m not sure I really even understood what really happened in that show. It felt like a new arc started before the previous was halfway through and then different subtle parts of previous arcs sorta mattered for the current, but not in any meaningful way.
The only constant was that Magdar would show up at the last and first episodes of the season with a new random evil plan.
The whole thing was such a mess.
Yeah, it was really a disappointment. The humor never quite landed so I was primarily there to see what they would do with the story. While I know it ended earlier than they planned, what/how they wrapped it up showed there wasn’t too much there to begin with.
Pretty much, you had the Magdar plot twist at the end of season 1 but everything afterwards became: Magdar is doing something bad I guess.
Very different show runners.
