I think there's something especially offensive about it for Futurama.

Part of the show's legend is that it kept coming back. Every time it was cancelled it found a way to come back, tell more story, be clever, and then get cancel-blasted again.

The Time-loop ending on the last cancellation felt like the show didn't get cancelled. It completed it's story. It was a goodbye and not an 'until next time'. Bringing it back on Hulu feels like a slap to that legacy. It takes what was very real show history and makes it a cynical cash grab by Hulu corporate.

as if they got to take the fact that the show fought it's way back so many times and are now puppeting it's corpse like Weekend at Bernie's. "look guys it came back again isn't that fun?"

I'm not going to shit on anyone for wanting to keep watching. I just see it now and it makes me sad. So I don't watch.
