So what did everyone think? Also why are there no new posts in this community when a new season just dropped?

is it as bad as season 11?

I'd say "not quite."

(Slight spoilers ahead)

The A plot involves NFTs which was pretty lame.

But the B plot involved Bender returning to Mexico and reconnecting with his roots, which wasn't bad, mainly because it didn't depend on pop culture references. Danny Trejo was pretty good as a guest star.

(Spoiler end)

I think the reason the pop culture references seem so tired now is because our lives are filled with people making fun of pop culture on social media/the internet. All the NFT jokes have been made already, like a year ago. The writers need to stick to original, engaging plots that don't rely on criticizing pop culture or rehashing old plotlines.

thanks! youve given me hope
