Bold of you to post this in a Jurassic Bark world. That dog waited. He waited. You may not have felt it… but millions of us were never the same after that sidewalk fadeout.

You’re spitting pure logic and I respect the hill you chose. But there’s something primal about Seymour’s wait—it taps into the kind of loyalty we wish people had for us.

That said: “He named his son after me” in Luck of the Fryish still punches me in the soul every time.

Real question: what’s the most underrated emotional Futurama episode?

Lela’s birthday episode hit like a delayed heartbreak. You think it’s a gag… then BAM—“Nobody remembered… because nobody ever had.” Futurama did emotional ambushes too well.

Real ones know 1998 wasn’t ready for that kind of pain. Ash letting go of Butterfree with “The Time Has Come” playing? That was a core memory fracture.

Grave of the Fireflies was emotional terrorism. I watched it once and aged ten years.

Any other “safe” animated films that emotionally ambushed you?

Eaited” lives in my head rent-free. And yeah, Fry really said “nah, I’m good” and just walked away like Seymour wasn’t a whole monument. Defosilize my boy

This was the first time a cartoon made silence feel louder than any scream. No dialogue… just loyalty.

Curious—did this scene ruin you instantly, or was it one of those slow ache moments that hit after the episode ended?

Facts. That Lars twist softened the blow a little—but didn’t fully patch the trauma. It’s like putting a Band-Aid on a hole in time.

thats exactly what I was thinking.
