In early seasons ofFuturama, several episodes highlighted the antagonism between Leela and Zapp.

The character was purposefully problematic, giving Leela plenty of reason to hate him.

However, it turns out thatPhoebe was a robot, remotely controlled by Chelsea herself.

Chelsea is an interesting addition toFuturama’s bench of robotic characters, with a uniquely complex motivation.

Characters like Mom or Nixon seek domination, while the Omincronians used to beFuturama’s most dangerous force.

Leela and Phoebe were shown getting close in the episode.

Fry and Bender’s friendship proves humans and robots can form bonds.

She’s emotionally manipulative, gaslighting the women and calmly explaining her plan afterwards.

Chelsea is a surprisingly emotionally complex antagonist for the show, and should stay Leela’s nemesis.

Futurama Season 12 Bender Marquita 6

Futurama follows the exploits of Philip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy from 1999 who is cryogenically frozen for 1000 years. Waking up in the year 3000, Fry befriends a cyclops named Leela and a roguish robot named Bender, and the three find employment with Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery service. Their work takes them to all corners of the universe, exploring space and the future as imagined by Matt Groening and the creators of The Simpsons.

However, Chelsea can change that.

Her ability to hop between robotic bodies gives her flexibility in potential later appearances.
