Season 12 Futurama keeps best revival change from Season 11.
With its "The One Amigo," season 12, episode 1, Futurama marks the beginning of a fresh run of episodes for the cherished adult animated series. This episode validates that the Hulu comeback will carry on the best character development started in season 11. After years of cancellation, Futurama's comeback brought with it some notable changes; season 12 highlighted one key change.
Futurama Season 12, Episode 1's major influence comes from Amy Wong's Kids from Season 11.
Main character Amy Wong from Futurama developed significantly in season 11. Season 12 investigates this growth especially in "The One Amigo." Introduced in season 11, Amy's children—Axl, Mandy, and Newt—showcase the continuation of Amy's arc as a mother and have a major impact on the episode Their return in season 12 guarantees viewers that these characters are not only fleeting additions but rather integral members of the future of the show.
Futurama has sometimes overlooked past family changes and new character relationships.
Futurama regularly introduces fresh characters connected to the main cast, but it also frequently overlooks these shifts to the status quo. For instance, although Farnsworth's sons Cubert and Igner have had significant past storylines, they hardly show up in episodes and their relationship to Farnsworth is hardly discussed. With no reference of his children or twin brother, Flexo, in "The One Amigo," Bender's family members also meet the same fate. Amy's children's prominence in season 12 marks a welcome shift that points to a dedication to continuity and character development.
Amy's Kids' Return Suggests Futurama's Revival Will Remain Mostly Serialized Storytelling
Amy's children's return points to Futurama's comeback moving toward serialized storytelling. This action fits the modern streaming era when viewers demand continuity and linked stories. More dynamic narratives made possible by this shift feature characters like Amy's children playing key roles in the future of the show.
