Futurama’s Best Life Lessons & Tips
Opinion: Futurama is clearly superior to The Simpsons. Fact: You can find all the life lessons and tips you will ever need in between this show’s many cancellations. Today we learn about the lives of the greatest men and women of the 31st century. Also Bender.
About radical self-acceptance
In our lame old 21st century, we have to worry about things like “fit in” and “self-worth.” In the 31st century, all this was found out. Hedonismbot takes pleasure wherever he can find it, no matter how rough it is . Fry accepts his rampant stupidity . Even Professor Farnsworth completely rejects our primitive notions of modesty . No matter how much they should be completely ashamed of themselves, they are not.
Of course, no one models this beautiful idea of self-acceptance the way Bender does. He has such confidence that one day it led him to become a god . Or another time . He was the Ultimate Robot Slayer , performed on stage with Beck, and even was Santa Claus for a while. Pretty great resume for a guy who’s only been programmed to bend beams. Follow his example and believe that you can become as great as Bender thinks you are. Of course not. But at least you can try.
About romance and settlement
If you ever feel unwell about your love life, just remember that it took Fry over a thousand years to bounce back after his girlfriend dumped him on New Years. As the equivalent of a high school dropout in the 31st century, Fry has gone from courier to unemployed to courier in one episode. However, this was not enough to win the affection of the woman with whom he is terribly obsessed.
Even after a series of office romances, meaningless relationships, accidentally becoming his own grandfather and that one incident with a radiator, Fry never lost sight of his only real one … I will call it, darling? In the end, Leela succumbed to Fry’s incessant harassment and gave Fry a chance after a horrific coin toss accident . Through constant training, Fry eventually learned to be a competent guy until they lived as happily ever after as they could. Truly, their story is the perfect model for anyone who ever agreed with who they worked with at the time.
About family and fatherhood
While Bender is obviously the best parenting counselor, it is Professor Farnsworth and Hermes Konrad who show us the best examples of parenting on the show. Especially in The Route of All Evil . Here, the children Dwight and Kubert set up a delivery service to compete with their parent’s Planet Express company. Hermes and the professor are naturally supportive and encouraging.
The show also touches on the sensitive topic of parents being separated from their grown children. Orphaned by birth, Leela is reunited with her gross genetically inferior sewer mutant parents . Professor Farnsworth made up with his incredibly alive parents after they were rescued from a nursing home close to the Death Star. And as Amy battled her newfound robotic sexuality , her parents were there to support her decision .
On the inevitable thermal death of the Universe
Life is unpredictable, and of course it is not easy. No one knows this better than Fry. He once lost his entire life when he was frozen in a tube for a million years . Then a second time, when he accidentally traveled forward in time to the end of the universe . All things considered, he was pretty calm about it. I can’t even handle it if my dinner plans change at the last minute
Fry faced some rude things, but he always put off the blows. Even literal ones. Of course he was stupid. In fact, he was so stupid on a cosmic scale that he was often a unique person capable of accidentally saving the universe . And yet he was probably the happiest and most frivolous person who ever lived. If you ever feel stressed, overwhelmed, or burdened by an existential crisis that haunts every conscious being in a cold, unfeeling universe, just look at Fry and his special mind. He may not actually be that useful, but at least he will try .
No, I didn’t use this post as an excuse to spend a full day of work playing with the new Morbotron . Why do you ask?
