Just finished Season 3. The creators are just slapping more story threads on at this point, and repeating cliffhangers.

Guess Luci is going to have to escape Heaven this time, Elfo will definitely escape the ogres somehow, probably utilising the Trøg army again. I think either The Devil will either be Richard Ayoade or he'll swoop in and save Bean from marrying him. Either way, with the Elf throne 'Candy Ass' being under Dreamland, you know that Elfo and Bean will end up together to rule jointly and unite the two kingdoms.

What a waste of Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry.

Eric Andre too. Luci didn't seem to do much this series.

This series suffers from having these incredibly long and overly complex story arcs that would seem overdone even by anime filler arc standards. I don't understand why they went in this direction since Futurama managed to have a pretty good idea of how to manage episode flow.
 
I much prefer Steamland as a setting to Dreamland. We've seen medieval fantasy comedy series loads of times, but steampunk isn't something you see as much of. I think they should've done what they did in Season 2 where Bean finds Steamland and is a fish out of water there, but have that be the entire show's premise. Yeah, it would just be steampunk Futurama, but would that be such a bad thing?
 
I really enjoyed part 3. I think it helped to have rewatched parts 1 and 2 again recently. The overarching storyline is both a blessing and a curse in that it makes it unique from Simpsons and Futurama but you can't really just drop in and watch a random episode like the others.

This show has a new season coming in a few days. I'm sure it's going to be a meh affair. Futurama and Simpsons still kicks it's ass even if every season of this show only gets a tiny bit better.

I know Cuties has already proven this but this shows that Netflix has no standards. Who in the fuck is watching this show? Little kids bored of Big Mouth?
 
The show might have been good had it started 2 decades ago after LoTR came out. By the time I've heard of it any subversion of the fantasy genre has been made to death in mainstream media.
 
The worst Futurama episode was better than any episode of Disenchantment. The only good thing about Disenchantment is that it served as a containment area to prevent that group of writers and actors from bringing back Futurama and thoroughly ruining it.

Well, so much for that.

Disenchantment really should have been an isekai where Bean was originally a Starbucks employee or something. This show needed a fish out of water character like Fry to be the comic foil to the fantasy stuff.

Also unpopular opinion but I don't think a female sociopath can work as an MC. I've seen it done successfully with male characters but everytime they try it with a female character it comes across as creepy and flat. Maybe it's societal sexism or some other factor but it just doesn't seem to work in American media.

Because it's not a female sociopath; it's a male sociopath with a female body and voice. Nothing about her is inherently feminine and she's written off as a male character who's forced to be a princess. She doesn't display any feminine traits, let alone female sociopathic behavior. I think Miss Heed from Villainous is a well done female sociopath.

Season 4 has too many cooks in the kitchen. Can we have less characters? It could pass as a shitty book on Amazon.

I reached the third episode and lost all interest. I don't care about the characters and I've completely lost track of the story. I said upthread that Matt Groening's style isn't suited to serialised storytelling, and that only becomes more apparent the longer this goes on.
 
Disenchantment has felt like a show on valium from the very beginning. Everything just drags on and the plotting is jittery and inconsistent. Not surprised they made the mc a dyke seeing as her voice actor is one plus it nets them goodboy points.
