Futurama/WMG: Difference between revisions

Line 55:

== Fry didn't mutate because he's already a mutant. ==

His "past-nastification" led to his lack of the delta brainwave. Who said all mutations have to be external?

* That and his genome is already locked in due to infinite inbreeding on his end. Granted, that particular fact is tied into his Delta Brainwave lack, but even if it wasn't, there isn't all that much that the mutagen water can work with after a family lineage infinitely strong AND his genome holding several [[Stable Time Loop|Stable Time Loops]] in place by this point.

== Fry is related to Conan O'Brien. == Come on, just look at his hair!

Line 104:

* Well so far it seems to vary depending on the episode. Their relationship only seems to exist when the plot is centered on Fry and Leela. If it's anyone else's turn in the spotlight the Fry+ Leela relationship doesn't seem to exist.

* It's not ''quite'' the old Status Quo, though. Even when the episode isn't centered on Fry and Leela, she's still more receptive to Fry than she had been previously. See the episode where they're looking for Da Vinci's secrets, where Leela says yes to becoming a member of the "mile deep club" without the slightest hesitation. So the change in their relationship is still there, but it's subtle unless it's focused on.

* I think it's more that they have had the [[Relationship Upgrade]], but beyond the removal of the Fry-gets rejected-continuously-by-Leela dynamic, not much changes because they were already so close. For example, in "The Late Philip J. Fry," for her birthday he's supposed to take her out for a romantic dinner just the two of them.

== Despite his romantic feelings, Fry is sexually averse to Leela. ==

Line 128:

Bender may eventually be [[Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy|several times older than the universe itself]], depending on how many times he traveled, both in ''Bender's Big Score'' and afterward.

* As of ''The Late Phillip J. Fry'', Bender ''has'' been present at both the birth and collapse of the universe at least twice. I'm not really sure how age is tallied in his particular case, but its reasonable to say that at this point, he's at least twice the age of the universe and some change.

The Time Code was in the binary language that robots use, not because it is based on the same 21st-century language that the robot language evolved from, but because it's literally Bender's code format.

Line 141:

Bender is only four years old in terms of age, and in psychology it has been found that very young children are essentially very selfish beings. (which makes evolutionary sense as human children are essentially helpless and need to demand that level of attention to survive.) If robots are designed to develop mentally in the same way humans do, it could be that Bender simply hasn't grown up enough to develop the ability to empathise with others especially since he shows the occasional signs of empathy and even feels quite lonely when apart from his friends, particularly Fry... or he could just be a sociopathic kleptomaniac with a soft spot for his friends. Who knows? For this WMG to work would mean that Bender would still have to have been given the intellectual concepts like language and the like in his initial programming.

* Just realised this is effectively [[Jossed]] due to the time-travel incident leaving him in the sand for a thousand years. Any maturation programming would've kicked in by then.

** It's quite possible that he was powered down for that time, we've seen what happens when he goes without alcohol for long periods of time, but he seemed pefectly sober drunk? whatever.

== Bender's family. ==

Line 157:

criminal Heads, so when he wakes up he is much more spunky and has a more "in your face personality". Perhaps the heads had a effect on him to make him more evil. He also might have had some memory loss when this happened explaining:"People lived before they met me?"

* That. Is. Truly [[Fridge Brilliance]], I never thought of it that way

* In Bender's first appearance, the guilt of learning that he was building components of suicide booths had...uh...[[Driven to Suicide|driven him to suicide]]. By the end of the first season his stated goal was to [[Kill All Humans]]. By season 3, he had attempted to sell orphans as food (and apparently misrepresenting their weight). Today, every time a human's death is even alluded to, he chuckles. Wow, this is a great theory.

* Note that, for Futurama robots, electricity is the equivelant of a drug. Given how direct it was, this likely contributed to Bender's hedonism.

Line 352:

Or the rat was switched out for a fish by a swimming mutant. There are other pig fish, mutation doesn't work that quickly, and there's no reason that a mutant shouldn't get more mutated by falling in.

* <s> Potentially [[Jossed]] by the preview for ''The Mutants Are Revolting'', which shows Fry jumping into that water and mutating.</s> Never mind. Fry's "mutation" was really {{spoiler|Mr. Aster, and Fry was lodged in his mouth.}}

* But Mr. Aster had to mutate somewhere, didn't he? QED, the water is a mutagen.

== Futurama takes place in our future ==

Line 481:

== Circusitis is [[The Virus]] but only truly effects children ==

It turns children into clowns. However should an adult, (like Hermes did) contract it just makes them sick for a bit with an easy cure.

== At one point during the temporal fast-forward montage, Fry and Farnsworth revisited the buxom scientist time period. ==

Line 573:

== Professor Farnsworth and Leela's newly discovered grandmother will hook up in the next season. ==

That pairing is '''screaming''' for the [[Shipper|shippers]] to put them together. We are fully aware that the professor is senile and Leela's mother admits that Leela's grandmother is nuts, so they are perfect for each other. The Professor/Mom pairing has been sunk and raised and sunk again too many times to be credible anymore so Leela's grandmother is introduced to give the Professer a new [[Squick|squicky]] love interest.

* Who says the two ships have to be mutually exclusive? Leela's Grandmother/Professor/Mom [[~~OT 3~~]]!

* Who says the two ships have to be mutually exclusive? Leela's Grandmother/Professor/Mom [[OT3]]!

* I think Mom would happily [[Murder the Hypotenuse]] ([[Big Bad|And their species]]) over a slight jealousy.

Line 661:

== The superpower-granting cream is [[Heroes (TV series)|The Catalyst]] ==

Okay, from the [[Reaper]] WMG page, we know that the Second Coming of Zombie Jesus that occurs in 2443 was predicted by Regular Satan (as opposed to the robot devil). This puts [[Futurama]] and [[Reaper]] in the same [[Verse]] We ''also'' know that [[Reaper]] must be set in the [[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]][[Verse]], because Sam's brother is the same person as Claire's brother. From that, it's not to much to assume that the Catalyst was accidentally rediscovered in the 1000-ish years between [[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]] and [[Futurama]] while researching miracle creams and their uses in relieving joint pain.

== [[Ugly Americans]] is a parallel-universe version of Futurama ==

Line 689:

== Futurama and South Park take place in the same universe ==

The reason the fungineers in the future think that there were whalers on the moon is because they found the corpse of Willzyx and assumed the stupidest. Of course, this might just be highly improbable...

** Cartman's head is seen in a jar at the head museum.

== ''[[Code Geass]]'' takes place in {{spoiler|the British alternate universe in ''All the President's Heads''}}. ==
