Who Is Frank the Temp in Futurama Season 12?
Whoa, it looks like the crew of Planet Express has a new villain! You probably thought you’ve seen it all - after all, Futurama is loaded with memorable characters, and there’s plenty of Futurama villains too. Frank the temp is kinda the bad guy this season. But there’s more to the story - the reason he’s trying to take over is super sad!
How Did This Guy Become The New "Big Bad"?
This whole Frank story actually got introduced in Season 12 - a new part of the series that you can find on Hulu. It turns out Frank started as an ordinary temporary worker. Futurama’s new villain Frank, really just wanted a job where he was accepted.
How Did Frank Take Over?
- Well, Frank, the new character from the series - he fell in love with Planet Express. And he just went nuts, and became this hypnotizing madman!
- The best part of the show - this totally bizarre plot - came in Season 12, with the "Amazon Women" episode where a super intense, tragic event made Fry take a break. To take over Planet Express, the Planet Express crew found themselves in the crazy position of needing a temp to take over for a few weeks, and that’s when Frank arrived.
How Does His Backstory Make Him So Tragic?
- This is why he's so much different! When he joined Planet Express, everyone just totally forgot about him! Can you imagine getting stuck in a garbage planet? Not great. So Frank decided that he would never get ignored again, because all he ever wanted was to be loved, so he just took over - which kinda makes him a tragic villain, right?!
Is This The Best New Direction for the "Futurama" Revival?
- You're definitely not alone thinking Futurama needs new characters. Fans really enjoy Futurama original characters - because everyone knows and loves them. It's great to have those new characters!
- That's how Hulu Futurama brought the series back - which was actually great to get everyone hyped on that amazing show again!
That’s what's amazing about the Hulu Futurama revival, the Futurama characters have these really funny stories, but sometimes it’s refreshing to get new villains, because they can really change how the show goes - it’s exciting! This show definitely shows that Futurama, on Hulu - that revival - is really finding a fresh and fun new direction!
