Nibbler's story just doesn't make sense does it?
BY SCOTT BANNER
UPDATED: DECEMBER 31ST, 2022
As a cartoon set in the 31st century, about an interplanetary delivery crew’s encounters with robots, mutants, and aliens, Futurama was never the most serious of TV shows. There were very few narratives running throughout the entire run, or even further than the span of an episode, in this sense it was a typical animated show.
However, there were several themes that did last the entire series, such as life and technology in the 31st century, character traits and relationships, and a little bit of history. For the most part, the show did a good job of keeping all of this in check. For the most part, but certainly not 100% of the time.
Particularly after the show’s revival on Comedy Central, the writing seemed to ignore more and more what had come before it. There were certain points that episodes either contradicted or retconned moments of Futurama lore previously established through the series.
These aren’t the kind of plot holes that could ruin the show for anyone, though they may spoil an episode or two. Instead, these are things that some fans may not have even noticed, but when they are clocked, it’s impossible to ignore them (https://whatculture.com/tv/futurama-10-most-annoying-little-inconsistencies?page=10).
