Interesting video I saw on YouTube which definitively shows whether Nibbler’s shadow was in the original airing of the pilot. Skip to 23:50 for the answer.

    Meanwhile, Disenchantment seemed like it was written episode by episode. I guess it all tied up in the end, but I didn’t care about 90+ percent of the arcs, so the whole series felt half-baked to me. I enjoyed it, but something felt off, by miles.

      I’m glad you mentioned it. I had a whole rant about how we cheer for Fry, because he’s stupid and means well, and we despise Elfo, because he’s an underhanded little prick.

      Did it all tie up? The whole steamland plotline got dropped completely by the end and that was basically half the show’s worth of plot.

        Yeah, “tied up” just means it had an ending. I’m not sure I really even understood what really happened in that show. It felt like a new arc started before the previous was halfway through and then different subtle parts of previous arcs sorta mattered for the current, but not in any meaningful way.

          The only constant was that Magdar would show up at the last and first episodes of the season with a new random evil plan.

          The whole thing was such a mess.

      Disenchantment’s plot felt like a D&D campaign where the DM winged it every week.

      There’s a reason why most D&D campaigns aren’t adapted into TV shows

      I guess I’m in the minority who liked Disenchantment. Many of the jokes fell flat, but it was cozy.

      Also Laughing Horse always made me lose my shit, it was so stupid but the animation, combined with John DiMaggio’s stupid laugh was perfect.

      Also Jerry’s ability as a moron to rightfully question God’s ethics was so delicious.

        I enjoyed it for the most part. I just had a hard time shaking how disjointed it all felt. It was missing something to keep it cohesive and flowing properly. I can’t put my finger on it.
