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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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] 17 points 11 months 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!

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Oh, man. With an actual Buffy cameo?! 🥹 Could they get Angel, too? Spike? 😱🤘🏼

Hey, @Semi-Hemi-Demigod started it.

Ack. How to @?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I mean they did Blade.

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months 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 11 months 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 ?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

More literal, actually. Think regular birth meets Alien.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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 11 months 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.
