Strange Planet

Id never heard of the comics or artist before this show, i had just watched this show. From my perspective, the show is great. Its a new fresh look on how other life could interpret this world and its down right funny. I love it and i hope for more episodes!

With that being said everyone who is comparing these to the comics is not giving the artist room to be creative. You have to realize all the changes that were made behind the scenes of our favorite tv shows that air today. Changes we dont even know about that made the show great in the end. Im sorry its not your version of perfect, but my outsider looking in view saw nothing wrong with this great show. It has room to grow into something great, lets not beat it down at the start.

It's not vulgar, there's no violence against anyone or defense of items of war, nor any willingness to go to war, and episodes don't involve kidnapping a woman to kickoff the theme of this week's show, which is remarkably similar to last week's, if we were watching, well, fill in the blank. Movies love that over used trope, too.

But here, in this quiet, fresh, funny, part of the universe, you can sit back and relax and watch a show that makes you feel good and think about things for just a few more seconds because they've renamed almost everything with funny vocabulary.

The storylines are heartwarming not terrifying or heartbreaking or disgusting or even disturbing. So, yes, if, your life is so bent, that you can't cool down and breathe easy, if you can't laugh at quirky, and you need adrenaline and blood, guts, murder, office-gossip, and hatred, it's no wonder that you don't approve of this wonderful show. Too bad; it's awesome.

It's Strange Planet, what more can I say?

Firstly, if you're expecting an intricate, raunchy show with heavy nuance then you're going to be disappointed.

The show is what it says on the box.

It does what it sets out to do, which is present episodic stories about the human experience through unique dialect and grounded storylines with a generous, dry sprinkle of humor.

The characters, considering they all have the same basic appearance, were delightfully realistic - from character design to animation movements to each one's chosen VAs.

The overall vibe is amusing, wholesome, and well grounded in this particular reality not far off from the one we live in today. There's also loads of easter eggs and references to both our society and the society within the context of the OG comic posts.

If you don't like one episode's storylines or characters then good news! Each episode shows us different beings and perspectives with different motivations and outlooks, much like the beings in our world.

It's exactly what I would've expected as a long time fans of the comic shorts - with animation and voices added that only elevate the messages told within. I found it very engaging, if not slightly predictable (which of course it is bc these are stories about people going through relatable situations and coming out the other side).

So don't let the negative reviews keep you from giving it a try!

It's a good show and I personally look forward to seeing more!

I'm sorry but people just really don't understand how to review something. Is this show good? No not really. I love the cartoon and all it's genius. But this show just doesn't adapt from the comic. They're also just not staying true to the comic. Too much regular dialogue like a human would have. I think what's going in is a bad combination of it being boring, storylines are just kind of random, and again it poorly adapted. I'm noticing here on episode 3, a repeat character. If they continue to do this, we might get some theme and actually develop some substance. However if they don't get some consistency, I'm good to stop soon. Just don't give it 1 star, that means it offended you to your core.

Lots of folks have different thoughts about the show "Strange Planet." Some people don't think it works well on TV, saying it's too slow and dragged out. But when I look at it without any bias, I think some of these complaints come from folks who never really wanted it as a show in the first place. They were set on not liking it. Personally, I think "Strange Planet" is a nice and good show to watch.

Also, it's worth saying that sometimes people don't like adaptations that stick too closely to the original. It's tricky to find the right balance between staying true to the old stuff and making it work in a new way. Not everyone's gonna be happy. This show is all about digging into what makes us human. It sneaks in funny similarities to how we act and think, making us think about what being human really means.

To wrap up, not everyone will be into "Strange Planet," but it does give us a new way to think about our lives.
