Discussion History TearJerker / Futurama

Am I the only one who thinks that \\\"Luck of the Fryrish\\\" is MUCH more of a TearJerker than \\\"Jurassic Bark\\\"?

\\\"Luck of the Fryrish\\\" involves a genuine, emotionally realistic situation combining HeartwarmingMoments with the [[OutOfCharacterMoment sudden realization]] by the IdiotHero that his JerkAss [[SpeakIllOfTheDead behavior]] was misplaced, and he can never apologize or thank him.

This is all made possible by a [[TropesAreTools judicious use]] of earlier IdiotHero combined with FutureImperfect, making it a moment probably possible only in Futurama.

Now, \\\"Jurassic Park\\\" is sad alright, but I didn\\\'t believe it. [[FandomHeresy And no, I didn\\\'t cry.]] For one thing, it\\\'s a dog, and it\\\'s played as a thoroughly nonanthropomorphic one, and dogs simply don\\\'t do that. And for another, Fry knew that; thus he was having another non-IdiotHero OutOfCharacterMoment when he decided not to revive Seymore. For me, the ending seemed to be trying to [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption enforce]] Fry\\\'s for once absent idiocy in favor of the FridgeHorror that he got the [[MillionToOneChance one dog]] that doesn\\\'t take to a new owner like a fly to shit. This for me was unable to detract from Fry\\\'s rare mature moment.
