Do you think Jona is gonna wake up in season 2? Do you think there will be a season 2?

>>45630
Season 2 just got renewed. I think if Jonas wakes up it will be bad news for everyone.

>>45631
*show got renewed for season 2. I worded that stupidly.

>>45631
Somehow I just doubt the blue angels outright killed him, they put him in a trip that surely feels like permahell, the fallout from that will probably serve the same purpose as Reefer Madness did in real life.

I think that Jonas won’t learn anything from his experience and just doubles down on his anti shroom stance. It makes sense I think

>>45647
For sure, his economic position will actively prevent him from getting any collective unconscious wisdom from his trip

>>45630
I don't think he's gonna wake up. He will appear in the mycelium hallucinations though.

I wonder if the blue angel is torturing him for trying to kill it, or if he's just tripping so bad because he's evil.

>>45655
The writers are probably smart enough to keep that ambiguous and up to interpretation

>>45658
Yeah, possibly. I guess it's not necessarily a one or the other kind of thing.

Another thing I hope they lean into in season 2 is how disruptive the blue angel is going to be on society. I hope shit flies off the rails.

in a way Jonas's predictions, which he only made cynically, and to protect the profits of the pharmaceutical industry, might come true, at least partially

Looks dope! I’m gonna check it out.

its good but there is something off about it that i cant quite pinpoint. its also scientifically inaccurate in its depiction of mushroom propagation. you dont use a mushroom to make more mushies and you use spores and make a culture and one mushroom could make many many cultures. its kind of naive and the politics feels naive in a similar way but who knows. probably mike judges fault.

i liked scavengers reign more. fired on mars has a similar problem with being kind of directionless in its political critique.

>>45818
To be fair, Scavenger’s Reign doesn’t try to be political at all

>>45818
>i liked scavengers reign more.
Never heard of it. I'll have to check that out, but holy shit did they rip off Moebius's artstyle. This a little too far.

>>45819
exactly. dont do politics if your gonna half ass it with vague 'oh this sucks' without even hinting at a practical non-idealist solution

>>45818
That's like saying you don't use an apples to grow apple trees, you use apples seeds, while apples are perfectly fine for apple tree planting.

I really enjoyed it. Just like Breaking Bad, though, my opinion is that all shows should be this level of smart, this shouldn't be the unique diamond it inevitably will become. I also don't think it needs a season 2. It's going to stuffer from the same writing issues every season 2 show has when it wraps up everything so neatly. It'll focus too much on interpersonal drama to delay and buffer episodes because they don't have a real plot anymore. It'll also pull a midichlorians bullshit when it inevitably explains too much lore about the alternate dimension powered by mother earth or whatever they decide it will be.


Yes, the writing was good, the politics were on point, the art style grew on me, and the animation was great when it wanted to be (just look at the way the turtle blinks!)
