Description Remember that show Growing up Creepie?
...I don't.
But here you go, kartoonfanatic , my awful attempt at a Tim Burton style (and human body, which was even harder to do in this style...ERGGGH). Yeah it's pretty much another gift. I have no life.
(I'm aware her arms look snake-like upon SEVERAL other flaws, but I left them that way because she's creepy or whatever).

Heyyyy, what's your favorite Futurama character (or characters?)? :3

It’s alright.

Favorites gotta be Leela and Bender. I liked Leela for her design and her “hard-to-get” attitude, but how she was also a softie and cared about Fry a lot despite hiding it (think The Sting and that episode where Fry becomes king of those water aliens and it pisses Leela off).

I also like Bender a lot because, well, he’s a fucking robot, but also because of the sad but ironic reason for his near suicide in the pilot. From what I’ve seen, he’s got some depression issues and is hiding it with parties and hookers (probably hiding it from himself as well).

Those are great picks. I think animation cynics brush off Leela because at first glances, she looks like a "girl powah" character done too hard. But those people forget that that kind of archetype was barely a thing when this show started. Leela also becomes a very interesting character when you learn about her abandonment problems and why it's made her build a wall around her emotions. Hell, I don't remember if it was mentioned in the series but that's probably why it takes her so long to come around to Fry: because she's afraid of getting hurt again. Meeting her parents again seemed like the start of her recovery.


Bender's amazing too. Of course not many people look into him too deeply because of that extra fact that he is a robot, so when you see episodes where he's vulnerable and you realize he's not just the comic relief.

That almost suicide in the pilot episode was really weird. I say so because I feel like that was more of a comment on future trends and/or the politics of assisted suicide and vending machines than on Bender as a character. He may have even been suicidal in early concept but later on, he always seemed too proud to take his own life, or any other self-destructive behavior that didn't equate to fun or making money. Maybe I just have a bad memory, though.

I really liked “Leela’s Homeworld” for that reason. I think that episode was a big point where Leela’s walls began to crack and she started opening up. I never saw her as some generic strong girl character. There’s the Anazonians for that, and even then, they’re not too much.

Well, even though Bender was a comic relief character, he was also very much an actual character. SCRUFFY was a big comic relief there too. I don’t know about you, but “I, Roommate” does show that Bender is hiding some depression. Eh...idk. I think pre-Comedy Central Bender in general is just a lot better. There’s Futurama forums, and a lot of people pointed out that the cast in the later seasons were flanderizations of their earlier selves. I think that’s what happened to Bender.

Agree with you on all this. OMG the Anazonian women... god those were cringey, but I understand what they were going for. I liked the twist that they were obeying a female supercomputer.


You know the show better than I do, so I'll take your word for it. It sounds about right, though I would think the flanderization of Bender's character into nothing but an asshole started in the original Fox run, since you don't see too much of his depression by like season 4 that I remember. I Roomate was a great episode though, and I think I remember what you're talking about. Now I don't know how I feel about Bender's character having a depressed side. But hey, if it's better than what they did with him in the Futurama movies, I'll take it!

From what I've seen, he still has a depressed side, but I could be wrong. "Free Will Hunting" is a later episode, but it seems to me that he does have some form of depression, even if just for different reasons.

"As a robot, Bender lacks free will so he embarks on a quest for the meaning of life."

Of course this kind of bugs me because from what I've gathered from the series, the robots HAVE free will. I mean they're sentient aren't they? But yeah, point is, this episode shows a sadder point to Bender.

Whoa, wait a minute, is that the description from Wiki? 

I can't see Bender and Calculon and the other robots NOT having free will. (Unless they are all subserviant to MOM like in those few episodes they acknowledge she exists). Speaking of things in Futurama that bug me, I don't like the idea of MOM (however it's spelled, I don't care). Like you, I'm more fond of the idea of them having as much free will as people in this setting, which gives Bender the right to get drink and sleep with other robots and whatever. That one mother's day episode where all the robots are expected to pretty much bow down to her was so stupid, and so unlike Bender's character to 1) give a shit about anyone but himself, and 2) obey any kind of holiday expectation.

Well Google told me that description, but they got it right from how I remember the episode.

I HATE THAT MOM SUBSERVIENCE THING

I'm not sure what to think about Mom. There's moments where's she's just honest-to-god hilarious af, but those episodes like the robot uprising thing made no sense concerning Bender. You nailed that explanation, debunked that episode in one sentence.

Oh my God I wish I was talking with you as I was bingewatching Futurama a little while ago, I'd have so much more to sayyyyyyyyyyyy


But yeah, I'm going off what I remember. I have no clue where that episode gets off implying that Bender has no free will. I'm pretty sure the show made at least one joke about Bender being able to tell everyone to screw off and leave whenever he pleases.


It's one thing if Mom's Friendly Robot Company was just an entity in the show that pokes fun at monopolies and corporate greed and how the public tends to look the other way about those topics, but I can't wrap my head around the robots actually paying respect to Mom and getting me to believe that, even in a cartoon. It just doesn't add up to the universe it's created. You're right about her being funny at times, but jesus, I hate her.

I've watched the entire series at least three times, so if you have anything more to say, I'll know what you're talking about.

Yeah. In a nutshell, implying that the robots don't have free will is just stupid.

If anything, you'd expect the robots to DISLIKE her or something. I just didn't see much of a point in her character. She could've been used as a tool of corporate greed way easier, and I see that they've done that quite a few times, but the subservience thing just throws me off.

Will do. :3 I might just go back and watch a few faves again soon. 
I hope it isn't weird to say, but all in all, I'm glad you're into a show like this because I haven't really talked in depth about Futurama to anybody, and it doesn't seem like outside of talking about the quality that there's a ton of controversy about this show (which shouldn't hinder your liking of it either way, but just saying.) But that which makes it uncontroversial also makes it boring, which is the same feeling I'm getting about why the movies were so bad--they were playing it too safe. Which blows my mind because Comedy Fucking Central had the reins on that! They should have been whipping out some South Park level ideas. 

Yeah, totally dude! They could have even made a joke about how children often resent their parents when they get older and don't appreciate everything they've done for them (only in this case, since mom's evil, they would be right to resent her.) Another thing about Mom was that I see they were trying to give her story, like making her the Professor's ex-girlfriend and whatever, but she is such a generic female villain to the point where she pretty much feels like Cinderella's stepmother with a few one-liners. Talking about this has actually made me super conscious of how I wrote Crowe...

Things NEED to be controversial, I think. That's what makes shit interesting. Futurama didn't seem worried about it before this Comedy Central bullshit. People are too PC nowadays.

That's true, she's very generic. God, she even has two minions (her sons, no less). I could really see her being Cinderella's stepmom, and that's not a good thing lol

I think you've written Crowe perfectly fine so far. She doesn't seem generic at all. But always, watch your step...

Edit: Holy shit I'm dumb, I think it was actually the point for Mom to look like Cinderella's even stepmom

Right you are, and right you are.


Damn, I forgot about her sons. She sounds more boring to me than I remember. And it's not that I'm saying you can't cram a fairytale trope into a sci-fi themed show like this, but they either should have done much more with her, or stopping bringing her into the show just to remind us that the robots were assumed had about as much free-will as humans are actually subservient to their creator. Frustrating...


Thanks. Will do.


Well, she does have those boulders on her head. Though the fat suit might be to imply that she's more jolly.

Holy shit. You actually captured her really well. (The expression screams "I'm gawth and I don't care about life or anything." And I can see the Tim Burton inspiration easily! (For better or worse, since Tim Burton's goth stuff goes either way for me.)

I did not deserve two gifts, but I thank you for this.


The loose arms fit. God damn now I want to see this as a reboot of the show.

Omg thank you

I was gonna draw Crystal but I really wanted to draw Creepie.

(Oh you’re welcome)

I’d like to see a reboot of the show that isn’t Discovery Kids or whatever, so it’s not forcing education and stuff. If it was something like RJ, I’d maybe give it a chance.

I would have liked either or, but I like what you did with Creepie. :3 Now I feel like I want the show to live on, if only as a meme. XD

Or that. That would be even better. Although I'm sort of afraid we'd get something like Buzz on Maggie, which is even less interesting. And what's with the girl shows and bugs trend? (if you call two cartoons with teenage girls and bugs a trend??) Was it interesting because the stereotype is that girls don't like gross things like bugs? Errr.... uh....

internetfreak14 In reply to kartoonfanatic [2018-06-17 15:57:59 +0000 UTC]

I never noticed there was a bug show trend. Maybe it’s the younger-audience shows you’re thinking of. The only ones I can think of that really do anything “gross” with girl stuff is Making Fiends, Growing up Creepie...yeah that’s about it. Dunno man, you’d have to name out some examples.

kartoonfanatic In reply to internetfreak14 [2018-06-18 12:26:50 +0000 UTC]

Maybe saying it was a trend was an exaggeration. But it feels like both those shows (Maggie and Creepie) were reaching for an esthetic that's basically just "we're a girls show that's not just about pink and ponies and princess" and all that stuff. I think Creepie brought more to the table in terms of story and/or story potential, and I also think it would have done better as a more ambitious project. I DO remember this one episode of Maggie that impressed me. It had something to do with a caterpillar girl who turned into a butterfly and turned into a total snob, and Maggie had to humble her again. It was one of the only episodes that I can remember at all, honestly.

Oooo, interesting plot thingy there. So was it a moral-specific show, the Maggie thing? Because based on that plot of "humbling" down again, it seems like it.

kartoonfanatic In reply to internetfreak14 [2018-06-18 16:11:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I could have sworn Maggie had no morals-of-the-day, like Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, but the more I think about it, I guess it did? I really don't remember the show that well, which is strange because I thought it was da shit when it was on. It's definitely one of those shows that wasn't as good as I remember. And even still, what impressed me about that episode was how direct it was with being phony, but it's still kind of a stock plot.
