Planeta Estranho

As a fan of the comic, the tv adaptation of Strange Planet is not exactly the same as the source material, but that doesn't mean it's less creatively valid. In fact, the series adds layers of depth and nuance to Nathan Pyle's characters that is indelibly charming and comforting. That warmth is not subtle, it's intentional. It's the series' heart-on-its-sleeve approach that adds an emotional depth and dimension that's filling a certain entertainment gap. There are so many lonely people in the world, and Strange Planet is about connection. Shows like Community are hungered-after cult classics for a reason. Hopefully Strange Planet is allowed to stick around long enough to make a similar impact.

Id never heard of the comics or artist before this show, i had just watched this show. From my perspective, the show is great. Its a new fresh look on how other life could interpret this world and its down right funny. I love it and i hope for more episodes!

With that being said everyone who is comparing these to the comics is not giving the artist room to be creative. You have to realize all the changes that were made behind the scenes of our favorite tv shows that air today. Changes we dont even know about that made the show great in the end. Im sorry its not your version of perfect, but my outsider looking in view saw nothing wrong with this great show. It has room to grow into something great, lets not beat it down at the start.

It's Strange Planet, what more can I say?

Firstly, if you're expecting an intricate, raunchy show with heavy nuance then you're going to be disappointed.

The show is what it says on the box.

It does what it sets out to do, which is present episodic stories about the human experience through unique dialect and grounded storylines with a generous, dry sprinkle of humor.

The characters, considering they all have the same basic appearance, were delightfully realistic - from character design to animation movements to each one's chosen VAs.

The overall vibe is amusing, wholesome, and well grounded in this particular reality not far off from the one we live in today. There's also loads of easter eggs and references to both our society and the society within the context of the OG comic posts.

If you don't like one episode's storylines or characters then good news! Each episode shows us different beings and perspectives with different motivations and outlooks, much like the beings in our world.

It's exactly what I would've expected as a long time fans of the comic shorts - with animation and voices added that only elevate the messages told within. I found it very engaging, if not slightly predictable (which of course it is bc these are stories about people going through relatable situations and coming out the other side).

So don't let the negative reviews keep you from giving it a try!

It's a good show and I personally look forward to seeing more!

I am shocked at how well this show holds up. Originally, I wasn't sure how the comic would translate. While things are a little different, I say this tv show is a perfect adaption of the comics.

Is it perfect? No. Nameless characters is weird, and the speech pattern can be hard to get used to, but it doesn't take long to get the flow of the show. Plus, how would the show exist without the strange speech pattern?

The art and animation is beautiful and there are some effects that baffle me. Once again, an amazing adaption.

Overall, I'm impressed. I'll be on top of watching every episode, and I already hope for a season 2.

It's not vulgar, there's no violence against anyone or defense of items of war, nor any willingness to go to war, and episodes don't involve kidnapping a woman to kickoff the theme of this week's show, which is remarkably similar to last week's, if we were watching, well, fill in the blank. Movies love that over used trope, too.

But here, in this quiet, fresh, funny, part of the universe, you can sit back and relax and watch a show that makes you feel good and think about things for just a few more seconds because they've renamed almost everything with funny vocabulary.

The storylines are heartwarming not terrifying or heartbreaking or disgusting or even disturbing. So, yes, if, your life is so bent, that you can't cool down and breathe easy, if you can't laugh at quirky, and you need adrenaline and blood, guts, murder, office-gossip, and hatred, it's no wonder that you don't approve of this wonderful show. Too bad; it's awesome.
