King of the hill appreciation thread - Yup.

This better be the final time Nancy is a whore and cheats on Dale with John Redcorn, they hinted she was fucking John in the reboot and now she’s supposed to give it up because of some guilt.
I stopped watching when they started the "she's fucking John Redcorn again!" bit, it was funny in the last season where some random internet twat with an anime avatar said "i bet they're screwing" but repeating that plotline for real is obscene. There's no point to it, we already did "Nancy gets over JR and learns to love Dale for real" and "Nancy is tempted to cheat again but doesn't go through with it"

You see I didn't mind it because Nancy just became an exponentially worse character in the latter seasons of the show same with John Redcore, Luanne, Peggy and even Hank's Mom. Its completely in character for both of them to start fucking once she got bored of Dale because as the show pointed neither of them moved on completely it just leaves a bad taste because the last episode cemented that Nancy would never fall to temptation again and what she had with Dale was always there.

I think the only character that didn't suffer a hit from bad writing in the latter seasons were Kahn and Minh.
 
I actually don't mind this new season. I like Dale's character alot more.
Dude what? They completely flanderized him. Dale in the revival or continuation whatever you want to call it is nonstop talking about conspiracy shit. In the original series he talked about them but it was one part of his personality. There was also his love of Joseph, his love of extermination, his friendship with Hank etc etc. This combined with his fucked up voice really, really hurt the character for me. I'm a huge Dale fan too so it was a big blow.
 
I really appreciate them largely keeping Joseph's character the same. I was worried they were going to make him a stereotypical lonely incel character for the sake of some lazy and trite political/social commentary.

They were all flanderized by the end of the original show's run. Bill got more and more pathetic. Luanne got dumber and lost all prospects of being more than white trash and wound up getting knocked up by Lucky. Peggy got way way up her own ass as well. The last few seasons were really rough and it was a blessing when it ended the way it did.
 
I won't go into detail like I did for the first season but my overall thoughts on season two of the reboot are:
  • I still can not get over Dale's voice and I continue to assert that the project should have been permanently shelved when Johnny died.
  • I enjoyed it more than the previous season.
 
Just watched the new season and here are my thoughts.

- Was better than last season.
- I like the dynamic between Kahn and Bill
- Once again, they baited doing something to improve Bill's life constantly in these episodes only to return to the status quo the next episode while other characters grow and evolve around him. I wish they'd stop. The Kahn treating him like a pet to improve himself went no where. The guys helping him after the cuddle thing went no where. Hell, Bill's black barber shop friends from last season went no where. Meanwhile, Kahn's moving past his divorce and evolving as a character.
- Why the hell did they add Keith David's new character last season and he was MIA this whole season?
- The season finale should've been last in the last season. Btw didn't they retcon some stuff? I thought Bobby went to Saudi Arabia with them at first. The animosity between Buck and Hank wasn't there last season. Also, why did Bobby have an ear ring, especially after the old series Hank telling him not to get one in the episode with the X-treme cool kid Christians
-The John Redcorn and Nacy relationship didn't need to happen. They toyed with it last season, but confirmed it this season that they got back together, it really just undermined her arc along with Dale and Redcorn's arc during the original series.
 
The bad - still hate Khan’s new voice actor, Toby Huss should still voice Khan the guy doing the voice just doesn’t nail the lines.
At the very least, it doesn't feel as stiff and awkward as last season. That said, the voice still doesn't fit the character at all. Like, you can imagine the OG Khan voice in your head and the lines sound way more natural.

This season was better than the last since they don't have to establish a lot of stuff like last season. The worst part of the show is I don't care about the Bobby/Connie stuff. I don't like Connie in the revival, I'd much prefer it if the show was focused on Bobby's restaurant and not relationship drama.

See this is why I refuse to watch this slop.

The series ended on the perfect note and this ruins it.
 

Saw this posted in the Western Animation thread and I've come here to discuss it(I have not watched any of the reboot seasons).
Bill watching hentai feels out of character for him. His pornography usage was already established in S02E17 ("Hanks Dirty Laundry") as he is a customer of Arlen Video and is potentially an expert in pornography as he assists Hank in this episode.

Did Arlen Video stock hentai? Did he get into it with Internet access? Who generically refers to Japanese animated, drawn, or live action porn as hentai as opposed OVAs, Doujin(shi)s, or JAVs?
Because of Bill's age it feels like he should already know what pornography he likes so his tastes should already be matured and uneasy to shake. If he had been into Tiajuana Bibles and other forms of western drawn porn then maybe his want to collect doujins or other works makes sense but I still feel like this de-ages him a bit.

This offhand scene feels like it should've been the result of Bill trying to seem cultured, naively asking Bobby to pick something up for him that he knows nothing about, while Bobby knows exactly what he's talking about and recognizes his ignorance and how he's somehow been mislead.
How hard is Bill powerleveling in this scene to ask his friends son, in front of the entire alley gang, to pick up Jap pornography for him?

Not reading the thread since the show came out 2 days ago until I'm finished with it. I've watched a total of 5 episodes so far and enjoyed it. Improvement from Season 14 (may need to rewatch it). But this binging strat that Netflix puts on these shows is obnoxious as shit. I do wish we got a weekly release of each episode rather than just tossing whatever onto a buffet table to gobble up as soon as possible.

Bill has been shown to be into a wide variety of kinky shit throughout the series he also knew about the foot fetish sites in that one episode and is shown to be into voyuerism in the episode "Shug Night". The hentai comment feels too much like a "wink wink nudge nudge" to board crowd of the audience similar to how adult shows of the last decade made so many references to tentacle porn.
 
I still found it odd that Hank would travel all the way to New Mexico just to buy weed for Peggy. It felt like another forced attempt to have the women replicate the classic guys in the alley dynamic. Overall, the premiere was rough. Several B-plots felt weak, like Bobby wanting to compete on a reality cooking show or getting recycled into the mascot role again. I wasn't a fan of the swearing or the constant censorship of it, either. The humor felt a bit heavy handed, bouncing between making fun of genders, making fun of the people making fun of genders, and dropping subtle commentary about stores locking up merchandise behind glass.

On the character front, there’s a noticeably larger black cast this time around, but no sign of Octavio, though I do wonder if Emilio will turn out to be related to him. On the other hand, the joke about Mel Blanc and racist voice acting fell completely flat. Either way, the show has already been renewed for two more seasons, set to release in 2027 and 2028. They're trying with Dale's voice, but Toby Huss does a good job at times. Also, Kahn's new voice is inconsistent. Ronny Chieng sounded normal last season and this season he fluctuates from trying to replicate the old voice and then doing a normal one. Minh is insufferable in the episode where she wanted to team up with Peggy to write together. Their asshole-ish ways worked better when it was Khan Jr.'s birthday.
