Recently saw "The Liar," and it's definitely on my top five for this show. Another great Wander and Sylvia contrast episode. "The Stray" is pretty good too.
"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.The song at the end of the episode "The Little Guy" almost makes me want to learn to play the banjo.
So just recently found out about this show. Was a fan of the art style of Foster's Home, and I like a handful of the modern-day Cartoon Network offerings. You guys think I'd like this show? What's the tone like?
"Listen, all magic is scientific principals presented like 'mystical hoodoo' which is fun, but it's sort of irresponsible."It's basically Doctor Who's content meets Looney Tunes' tone.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.Okay you had me at Dr. Who!
"Listen, all magic is scientific principals presented like 'mystical hoodoo' which is fun, but it's sort of irresponsible."How many shows have an army of goons invading to a marching song from a beer commercial?
"Show us the Galaxy Warp."@Shooterboss
It just bugs me that they didn't make that the intro theme as intended. The one they went with is good as it is despite the repetitiveness.

"Detecting trace amounts of mental activity. Possibly a dead weasel or a cartoon viewer"I can understand why they chose what they did. The current theme song has more energy and thus is a good first impression for younger viewers. At the same time, I also find it somewhat annoying, and that probably drew away some older viewers.
So anyone got an idea when season 2 is coming out?

"Show us the Galaxy Warp."In that case, it's gonna happen soon.
Seriously. This show is taking millennia to produce. Two years and only one season. :P
The animation in WOY is like nothing else. I'm glad they are pacing themselves.
"We be we baby!"Have to agree - you rush something like Flash (although this ain't Flash, but it's close enough - it's just better, TBH.), you inevitably screw up royally.
To those who say otherwise, Future Worm says hello to you... Villainous LOL...

New Web Browser, same old Shokew.Stylistic Suck, much?
"We be we baby!"Yeah, good point. Do you think they'll change the theme song for the second season? That honestly was my least favorite part of the show.
I don't think so. The WOY theme should be a national treasure!
"We be we baby!"They better NOT change the opening theme - that's easily the best part of the whole show, IMHO. Just that alone shows off all the worldbuilding this show is blessed with and royally and rightfully boasts. Gutting that would be a mistake. A horrible, horrible mistake!
New Web Browser, same old Shokew.Oh, well, uhh, okay. Looks like I'm being cornered here.
I didn't like it the first time I heard it, but it sort of grew on me later.
Apparently, they pulled a Samus Aran on us.
Lord Dominator is a woman, probably even a teenager.

Eh?!

If that's true I really hope that it doesn't mean that the big bad is going to be some whinny spoiled brat. We already have one in Star Vs. who's just a minor role. We don't need another that's supposed to be a villain. I'm perfectly fine with this new big bad turning out to be a woman, but the idea that she's also a teen worries me.

Those two tropes don't even have Wander Over Yonder listed as an example. Let me fix that right now.
