Ever since Leela was introduced inFuturama, she’s been one of the show’s central characters.
Here’s howFuturama’s Hulu revivalresolved a major Leela storyline, and how it should impact future episodes.
The fifth episode of season 12 resolves a lingering problem with the HuluFuturamarevival by shifting focus to Leela.
As the episode progresses, the group becomes increasingly close.
However, Leela has remained largely friendless.
That’s what makes her friend group in season 12 all the more exciting as a plot development.
It gives Leela other characters to bounce off, and a nautral reason to bring them all together.
The dynamics between the group could also be explored further.
This is exactly the kind of development that the new seasons ofFuturamacould use to expand the universe.
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.
