And I wish the world was less dystopian, but here we are

So, he’s bringing back The Orville, right?

Dystopian fictions are comforting compared to how the world is faring these days. At least fictional dystopias are set to have a viable solution.

then make more orville. it is conscious-positive, expands moral insight, and talks about things kept quiet.

it is an overall good for humanity.

I feel the same way. It seemed to all change 9/11 and never really recovered. Then again, art just reflects our reality.

It's weird he says this considering how mean and cruel most of his characters are. Like it's been a while since I've watched anything made by him, but I remember everyone being a dick to each other basically the entire time.

Make more Naked Gun and I'll be slightly happier.

Art mimics life.

It was disappointing when Joe Pera Talks With You was canceled because it filled this gap. Same with How To With John Wilson honestly. At least with How To, it was John's own choice to end it when he felt like ending it. Talks With You had so much further to go yet with it's characters and setting.

Anyway, both felt really hopeful and kind, and I miss that in television a lot of days.

Cosmos was very hopeful, but it’s also kind of depressing to watch now when Carl says he believes Humanity will pull together instead of sailing over the brink.

I'm here for that. The new Superman was a breath of fresh air, not just because it was an incomparably better representation of the character than Man Of Steel's version but because it was so hopeful.

As a trans person, I really hope Seth MacFarlane stops making television.

Oh, I've lost hope for humanitys future and it's not because of fiction.

Well I wish reality wasn't so dystopian.

I wholeheartedly agree

Nah, bruv. Shit is pretty dark these days. Seems apt that our stories reflect reality.

his shows was always to paroday how dark everything is, whats changed? he needs a wider target audience for his shows?

Sadly some of the best TV is dystopian and pessimistic.
