What are the odds that the King Of The Hill reboot gets Futurama’d?
I think we can all agree that the Futurama reboot was dog shit, ruined by out-of-touch Disney executives who prioritized millennial pandering over genuine comedy writing. How likely is it that the KOTH reboot will suffer the same fate? I trust Mike Judge to retain the original series’ humor, and the high quality of the Beavis & Butthead reboot is a good sign, but I’m worried the executives will still try sticking their fingers in the pie. The trailers look pretty good so far, but there’s a couple lines that make me nervous.

Yeah, the animation has definitely taken a dive in quality; the fact that motion-tweening is an acceptable standard at this point is really frustrating. That said, for this kind of show I can usually overlook bad animation of the writing is good.

This is what happens when studios refuse to animate in house (because the animators won't work for slave tier wages, especially in a high CoL area) and work gets outsourced to shit with shrinking budgets.

It has been acceptable for most audiences since the mid 2000s. Had it been available sooner, studios would have fully adopted it. Hanna Barbera attempted to do something similar with "scanimate" some old motion graphics method from the 70s. Even John K. used tweening as soon as he could.
Truth is, most studios never wanted to hand draw shit, it was only done out of necessity. Even in the cel era, a cheat was found in regards to line art, where they'd just use a printer instead of hand inking directly

If there was a story that needed to be told, it would have been in season 11, 12, 13 for fuck sakes.
At least beavis and butthead is episodic and divided in to 2 stories each, so it's hit or miss.
This is just a cash grab like futurama.
Expect dated crypto and millennial jokes.

The digitized animation already leaves it feeling "off" as a King of the Hill continuation, but at the same time I guess you could see it as thematically consistent with the time-skip introducing a "new era" for the franchise. Like they're adapting with the times, if you will.

Writing might be decent, but we won't know for sure 'til we see the full season.

desu finding out how much work KotH put into animation amazes me, because not one person I know was watching for the art. I mean, the people are ugly. They're like real life, where people are ugly. Nobody cares if a person with flared nostrils has 22 new drawings per second, because we didn't like the first one. Didn't ask for 21 more. Mike Judge started out doing incredibly crudely drawn, limited animation, and I see zero reason KotH couldn't have done the same and just given the actors or writers more money (maybe it wouldn't have gone so down...hill...)

Futurama was mostly dogshit though. 90% of it was bad with lazy jokes that weren't funny and 10% of was actually great. They never turned that around and it still got a ton of underserved second chances because of it being a Matt Groening show. The koth reboot shouldn't have happened if you ask me, too many of the cast have died and they can't be replaced or written out without it no longer being the same show. I've got a feeling it's just going to be a lot of bobby/peggy episodes.

It will never be as good as the original. And some people will be bombed out that their versions of the future of these characters they imagined isn't "canon". It will have a few cringy moments and a few "oh come on!" moments, and people will overreact and give it less wiggle room than they gave the original property. Mike Judge being heavily involved, I think, will ensure the quality. Matt Groening creates shows and then sort of lets other people handle them afterward. I assume Mike Judge will get some classic writers on board and will steer the ship and not let hacks fuck it up.

Only a handful of Comedy Central's Futurama episodes are worth a damn, but Hulurama is instantly forgettable digital landfill and it makes the Comedy Central run look good by comparison.

I wouldn't take a show like Velma as an indication of how well the writer can write. Someone else came up with the plot and the writer basically just has to try to make it work. You could put classic Spongebob writers on the show and even they wouldn't be able to salvage it.

Some animators will work for slave wages. The problem is that minimum wage laws keep them from being paid as such. So it's cheaper to outsource to Korea or China.

They're recasting Joseph to be voiced by a Native American VA, which feels pretty stupid because the character is literally half white anyway and wasn't voiced in any sort of stereotypically racial way. My hopes already weren't high but learning that specifically brought them down a bit more.

They're also recasting Ted Wassanasong and Chane, but that's more understandable because Ted's voice is kinda stereotypical and Chane was a kid who hadn't really gone through puberty (this makes Bobby not being recast feel weirder-- I still think maybe they could've had someone else play him and actually kept Luanne around and had Pamela voice her). I'd hope the Ted VA would be able to imitate the original performance though.

King of the Hill: Shippuden is honestly one of the few cartoon revivals that justifies its existence by doing something the original run never could. I'd gladly take it over pumping out more seasons of Gumball, Futurama, and fucking REGULAR SHOW of all things.

People refuse to let go. They also have this weird desire to want to "grow up" with their favorite fictional characters. King of the Hill's revival represents both of those issues with modern fandom. The thought of there having been fans who'd actually been WAITING for the show to return baffles me. Even if it was cancelled all those years back, 13 seasons is a damn good run, and one that wrapped up with a beautiful ending no less. Personally I'd been hoping that those "talks of bringing back the show" would fall through, but clearly it still found a way.

I want NEW shit from the people who contributed to one of my favorite series; not some sorry attempt to bring it back from the dead, especially when it won't be produced the same way decades later. The BoJack Horseman creator is making a new show, the Breaking Bad creator is making a new show, and Common Side Effects worked just fine as a KotH spiritual successor. THESE are the kinds of projects that should be pushed more by the public. Not Toy Story 5.

In the past I thought the idea of doing a series set in the future was interesting, like theoretically, and so I get the appeal of it happening for real. But the more info that's coming about it, the less and less I'm into it. It's mostly the decisions behind the scenes that aren't working for me, like choosing to write off/recast certain characters, rather than the actual plot/show which I guess we just don't know enough about yet, but either way I'm not optimistic despite loving the original.

I actually think the best time to do a new series (probably just like a miniseries or a one-off special) could've been like 2017-2021ish, when there were still current event things that could be commented on but more of the VAs were still alive and maybe everyone wouldn't have been quite so fanatical about making sure every VA's race matches the character's (I'm fine with the practice for completely original characters but it's disappointing to see somebody like Breckin Meyer just completely lose an entire role, unless he just wasn't interested in returning, IDK). But apparently that Apu documentary came out like 2017 so I guess even then there was probably a desire to play it safe.

But yeah my main point is that an ideal time to do any type of revival passed a while ago, and sadly there'd probably never be a "perfect" one anyway since Brittany Murphy died so soon after the end of the original.

>I'm fine with the practice for completely original characters
This is a take I wish I saw emphasized more often. The recasting of decades-old characters when the OG performer is still alive and well feels less like a sincere aim for authenticity and more like a shortsighted move made out of a fear of backlash. The character was already brought to life years ago by the everyone involved, from the voice actor to the casting & voice directors to the showrunners calling all the shots. Arif Zahir does a great Cleveland, but he's still ultimately mimicking Mike Henry's take on an African man. The same will apply to Ronnie Chieng; I'm still rooting for his Kahn voice to be entertaining, but it's hard to ignore the awkwardness of that recasting decision. Joseph's alleged recasting is even more awkward seeing as that role never aimed for any particular ethnic accent.

You can acknowledge Hollywood's history of failure in branching out to voice actors from different backgrounds and thus make conscious efforts to remedy that with NEW voice-over roles that instead won't be handed over to the same small net of veterans who've historically gotten first pick when casting calls go live.

>a miniseries or a one-off special
I feel those aren't necessary, either. Audiences need to learn to let go. An anniversary panel with the cast & crew or a new line of merch and apparel will do just fine. Let a complete series remain complete unless it was actually cut short and is deserving of a second chance at life.

>I feel those aren't necessary, either.
Yeah, I agree, it's not like a revival was something I was exactly wishing for or felt the show needed. It was more like, just to clarify my original post a little more, I think King of the Hill more than other animated shows just felt like something that actually had potential to be interesting to return to if a revival did get made at all, just for how the original show was committed to occasionally changing the status quo or tackling deeper emotional topics etc. Another show that was more shallow re: drama or didn't have its characters change much at all, like maybe The Simpsons or something (supposing it had ever ended) would feel way more redundant if it got a revival, for example.

But yeah I do agree right now we're living in an era of way too many reboots/revivals as it is and it's getting old. I think like ~10 years ago or whatever the whole reboot/revival craze hadn't quite taken off to the same extent and so the concept of "future King of the Hill," when people would discuss it, felt a little more original and less cash-grabby/low-effort.

I'm glad you thought my point about recasting came through okay; I was a little worried it'd come off as some extreme /pol/ take since I didn't go into much detail but your points are exactly what I was getting at.

My guess is that Hank is incapable of stop-gap measures. Like he gets hired by a less than middle wage family to fix something small or simple like the grout in the bathroom or maybe a leaky faucet. Then Hank goes WAY over board finding all the other problems in the house that the family just doesnt have the money to fix. Like it would start with the grout, but thanks to his carpentry-autism it would turn into a plan to renovate the whole damn bathroom, which a poor family/person just doesnt have the luxury to do.

Honestly the episode Bobby Gets Grilled is an extremely good premise for an episode because I would imagine that it doesn't exactly make it so that Bobby gets cancelled, the entire "point" would likely be that Bobby has a full respect for traditional robata style grilling which is why he uses it while incorporating his own take and culture (the fusion aspect has him doing German styled food), which pretty much has been happening throughout history with various things, food especially.
With the exception of grilling with charcoal, that is very much so inline with what a plotpoint would be if the series never ended.

Southern states are mostly impoverished because they have huge black and hispanic populations, and California is on the verge of economic collapse due to its pension system, they just expect the feds to bail them out once dems are back in the white house.
Many red states produce a lot of staple goods which are low margin but consistent/regular supplies of product, like eggs, rice, chicken, cattle, etc. California produces a lot of incredibly high margin but not particularly critical agricultural product. If California's farms all went fallow, the economic impact would be top news but you could mitigate the actual grocery impact pretty well (or might not even notice it depending on what you eat)

It's less the people wanting it and more the corpos wanting to make "safe money" by throwing all their marginally successful IPs in a blender and rebooting it and hopping for it to stick. Disney being the perfect example of this. Every single franchise gets a live action now. Nobody wanted it, but somehow it sells because brand loyalty and capturing children audiences and turning them into brand loyalists later on is what Disney does best. None of these look interesting to me, and this was around the time for me for these IPs. KOTH looks horrid and I hate the modernization on them.
