Good. If it went on too long and got bad, that'd be a shame

Ah man I thought you said it did go on too long and get bad. Show is amazing and I love it.

I agree it shouldn't run longer than they can write good content for it.

At least give us Colin Robinson spin-off!

But in all seriousness, it's probably for the best. Guillermo story got so ridiculously tedious and overplayed.

Maybe about his yo-yo career

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I've actually warmed up to it a lot. I love the colorful, wacky direction they've taken it. It feels a little more Addams Family than the movie, and I think it's great. I love that every episode has them doing some wild thing you've never seen before. Chasing witches on brooms. Chatting with gossipy gargoyles. It's just fun!

Things got so weird with the rebirth thing. Surprised the show has gone on as long as it has

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I truly love this show, but I must agree. It really had the feeling of out of ideas, o yea, Colin is a baby now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

As someone who hasn't watched this show does rebirth mean something different to being reincarnated and born again or is that what it means ?

He's just reborn as a baby, it's complicated. Don't let it discourage you the show is very very funny.

I won't spoil anything but most of the story arcs are wrapping up and I'd prefer they go out on a high note as well. I'm glad they're getting one last season to tie up any loose ends.

For anyone that hasn't seen it there's a prequel movie of the same name made by the same people that's equally hilarious as the show and pretty much unrelated.

The series is more of a continuation than a prequel. It was made first and the shows creator has been in character in the current show.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Correct, the movie is the prequel to the show, as I said.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Colin would probably pedantically say that the show is a sequel to the movie, the prequel term describes movies/shows set in a time before an original work.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

More literal, actually. Think regular birth meets Alien.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As long as they do a Buffy episode, perhaps as a musical, I'll be happy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Bummer. I really like the direction they've been going. Make it weirder. Make it more uncomfortable.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Boooo, i want more of this universe, c'mon Taika!

[–] vulgarcynic 4 points 1 year ago

Fingers crossed we get We're wolves! Been waiting for that since before the show started.

Excited for AI to continue making episodes indefinitely.

I lost interest after the first 2 seasons, which were really good. After that it seems they were grasping for ideas

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I felt similar at the start of S3 but by the end I was hooked again. In fact, I thought when Jemaine left the writing team it couldn't possibly be as good but I have to say the writing held up.
