Is Guenter Back in Futurama Season 12?
The trailer for Futurama season 12 dropped, and it's got fans buzzing about a possible return of a classic character. It's been almost 25 years since Guenter, a super-smart monkey who first appeared in the show back in 1999, made his debut. And it seems like the coffee-obsessed planet featured in the season 12 trailer might be the perfect place for Guenter to make a comeback.
Guenter's Coffee Planet Comeback
The Season 12 trailer shows a planet with steaming, brown coffee flowing freely. This is a great opportunity to bring back Guenter, who gained his intelligence after a misadventure with Professor Farnsworth's Electronium Hat. He might not be a genius anymore, but he's still way smarter than the average monkey. With the trailer hinting at a world of coffee-loving primates, Guenter could be the leader of this unique planet.
Guenter's return could be a perfect fit for the show, especially since Futurama has a history of bringing back characters for cameos. It could be a delightful and amusing moment for fans who've missed seeing this clever primate.
More Than Just Guenter?
But there's a twist. Guenter isn't the only super-smart ape in the Futurama universe. There's Dr. Banjo, who first appeared in season 6 as a vocal opponent of evolution. While Dr. Banjo doesn't have as much a reason to return, his status as a brilliant orangutan could make him a perfect addition to a possible Guenter comeback. Imagine a scene where these two meet on the coffee planet, it would be a great opportunity to explore their previous interactions.
Dr. Banjo's Possible Connection to the Coffee Planet
The trailer's voiceover sounds like David Herman, the voice actor for Dr. Banjo. So, the coffee planet might attract Dr. Banjo because of his research into evolution, which is a big part of his character.
Tress MacNeille and Her Futurama History
Guenter is voiced by Tress MacNeille, who has a long history with Futurama. She voices several other characters in the show, including Mom, the Grand Midwife, and Tinny Tim. Her ability to voice multiple characters and her relationship with Matt Groening, the creator of the show, makes her return as Guenter a strong possibility.
The Potential for a Reunion
Fans are excited about the prospect of seeing Guenter and Dr. Banjo on screen together. It would be a great opportunity to revisit their past interactions and explore their unique connection.
Futurama Season 12 Episode Titles: Clues for Guenter's Return?
The titles for the Futurama Season 12 episodes might provide clues for Guenter's return. Episode 7 is titled "Planet Espresso," which makes it the most likely candidate for a coffee planet appearance. However, nothing is set in stone, so other episodes could also feature Guenter.
It's still early days, but the trailer has fans excited about the possibilities for the upcoming season. We'll have to wait and see if the coffee planet will be the stage for a super-smart monkey reunion.
