Bean does seem to be a fantasy version of Leela. If she's like her, then I have a feeling she would end up giving pity sex to Zap since it would stop his whining.

From what little information we've gotten so far, Bean seems to be a mixture of Leela (Action Girl Tomboy) and Homer Simpson (The Alcoholic). I dunno, but I have a feeling she may also have some traits of Philip J Fry.

As for the co-protagonists. I'm not sure about Elfo, but everyone's already compared his appearance to Bart Simpson. And I have a strong feeling that Luci will act a lot like Bender does, as the primary Comedic Sociopath on the show.

Just popped in to say that post-revival Futurama is exactly as good as pre-revival Futurama. Some of my favorite episodes, like Proposition Infinity and A Clockwork Origin, are post-revival.

Also, prediction: Bean will be The Lad-ette and possibly a Gasshole.

Post-revival also gave us some classic memes like "Shut up and take my money!"

This is a fantasy kingdom, so maybe beans really are a magical fruit. tongue

I expect that they'll parody the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale just to make a pun with Bean's name. Although, they already spoofed that story in Futurama ("Leela and the Genestalk")note

I wanna mention that since this is Netflix, which is a bit looser with their censorship and all, we could potentially be seeing something a lot darker then we'd expect with Simpsons or Futurama. I'm not saying it will be dark, but I wouldn't be surprised if Matt took advantage of his greater freedom here and there.

Yeah, I wonder how they'll try to top the Black Comedy and sexual humor that was seen in Futurama and The Simpsons.

What I like about Matt Groening is that he's rarely vulgar, even at his darkest. This is probably going to be the edgiest thing he's done since early Life in Hell but I'm not expecting something like South Park or Family Guy.

I think whenever they try to go down the FG route, it really feels against their character. One video pointed out how modern episodes seem to rely on laugh track stylized humor, instead of the more hard earned thought out stuff of older seasons.

[up][up]It'd actually be really surreal to watch a Matt Groening show with uncensored cursing.

Yeah, hopefully the freedom that comes with Netflix's laxer censorship doesn't get abused too much.

On the other hand,all the freedom to go crazy overboard could quickly turn people off who tuned in for something like the simpsons

Behold, ye olde Internet has come forth with a teaser for Disenchantment!

Also it's coming August 17, in case that wasn't established previously. (It might have.)

Also also, the main setting is a village called Dream Land. Can't help but think of a different Dream Land...

Well, John DiMaggio and Maurice LaMarche coming back from Futurama are a nice touch. But that trailer literally had nothing for me to go on about the show (other then our main heroine may have daddy issues), so I'm going to reserve judgement on the show, until a better trailer comes out, or until I see the show myself.

I have to agree that while the trailer is clever, we don't really learn anything besides that this is a thematic companion to Groening's other works, the lead is the daughter of Dream Land's king, and that orc still looks like Bart.

I wonder when we'll get the first full trailer for this show.

Y'know, for a place called Dream Land, that sure doesn't look very dreamlike.

#74: Jul 2nd 2018 at 4:47:59 PM

[up]I think this Dreamland place will live up to its name, by looking like one big, bad, crazy dream. Perhaps this show's setting will be just as wacky and surrealistic as that of Futurama.

Come on, doesn't anyone else have any guesses or theories for what they expect to happen in this show?
