When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.”

Godfellas (S3E20) was more than a Futurama episode. It was a philosophical uppercut dressed in cartoon clothes.

Bender, flung into space, becomes a god to a civilization living on his body. Then he meets God. But not the kind of god people argue about — the kind that’s quiet, unknowable, and… maybe always listening.

This is one of those episodes where animation transcended the medium.

What did this one unlock for you?

Was it Bender’s journey? The miniature society? Or the divine silence that said everything?

That’s one of my favorite portraits of God. Humility and leading by example all in one.
