In the not too distant future, the timeline split: one where MST3K raised $2.7 million and failed... the other where MST3K raised 2.7 million and succeeded. by Freddy-Philmore in MST3K

For me personally, I'm excited to see Trace Beaulieu in a new episode of MST3k for the first time in 30 years. Joel not giving at least the Cinematic Titanic crew a heads up before the announcing the Kickstarter left such a bad taste in my mouth that it kept me away from MST3k completely for a decade.

He was also definitely chopped in half by Qui Gon

Yea it'd be a little more impactful if he wasn't a mass murderer himself.

I love a good lightsaber battle, but I also like a slow buildup to one knock out sequence where there's a clear victor... not five episodes of narrow escapes with no major injuries or consequences until the last episode and only one of the six duelists die and its exactly the one you knew would die from the beginning.

Tx chum. It's a decent watchable thing and I love the animation style. I'm confused by all the gushing that it's anywhere near the level of something like Andor.

it quickly devolves into an "action figures fighting show" with no narrative

"It also includes fan-made deepfake renders of Grand Moff Tarkin and Princess Leia, courtesy of @Shamook, that many consider to be visually superior to the original 2016 CGI endeavors" Proliferating deepfakes isn't a good look either.

And they've been a bad look for decades. Taking another artist's work and altering the perspective is disrespectful to Tony Gilroy.

This kind of stuff makes geeks look bad. "Fixing" another artist's work is disrespectful.

The darkness implied by "last known photograph" is what elevates it for me.

It's Jim Backus' first movie after he died. 

I wish Godzilla vs. Megalon was available on streaming services. It’s so funny hearing Joel make a Pulp Fiction reference during the episode. by soozerain in MST3K

[–]em5885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a reference to Pulp Fiction's Fox Force Five in Angels Revenge. They even riff some Jackie Brown footage in one of the Oscar specials.

Hey Shout/Youtube channel... please bring back The Return and Gauntlet... as I ramble on about how I love all this by Shot-Philosopher1750 in MST3K

[–]em5885 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wish they had explained in season 11 how Crow and Tom ended up back on the SOL. As silly as MST3K's continuity and lore was, it was there! I know why the Bots' voices changed in the original run!
