幻灭 第一季

Do you like Futurama? Although there is still no sign of this classic adult fantasy animated series being revived, a new work that inherits its spiritual essence and main characteristics, while blending the style of The Simpsons, will meet the audience this week. This is Disenchantment, developed by producer Matt Groening for Netflix. The story is set in the medieval-style Dreamland Kingdom. Bean (voiced by Abbi Jacobson), a young princess who is alcoholic, loves playing cards, and is wild and untamed, refuses to follow her father Zog's (voiced by John DiMaggio) wishes to marry a dull and foolish prince, so she becomes a runaway bride. Well... actually, she has two princes to choose from, but she doesn't like either Prince Guysbert (voiced by David Herman) or Prince Merkimer (voiced by Matt Berry). She encounters misfortune one after another during her adventures, but fortunately, she has the brave elf companion Elfo (voiced by Nat Faxon) and her personal demon Luci (voiced by Eric Andre) to help her out of danger and turn peril into safety. Luci was given to Bean as a wedding gift and is always full of malice. The advice he provides is always wrong and causes trouble for Bean every time. Elfo is a kind-hearted but somewhat foolish elf who left the elf kingdom to escape the endless "happiness." His advice is moral and just, but difficult to achieve. No matter whose advice Bean follows, it won't lead to a good outcome. Along the way, this bizarre trio—like some form of "Three Musketeers"—encounters ogres, sprites, harpies, imps, trolls, walruses, and many, many foolish humans. Lucy Montgomery voices Bean's maid Bunty, who always seems absent-minded. Billy West, Maurice LaMarche, Tress MacNeille, Jeny Batten, Rich Fulcher, and Noel Fielding also participate in the voice acting. Matt Groening once explained the theme of the series in one sentence: "This is a series about life and death, love and sex, in a world full of pain and idiots, it tells you how to maintain an optimistic attitude—no matter what the elders, wizards, and other fools say." About the term "Disenchantment" In common terms, "disenchantment" refers to the dissolution of the mystery, sacredness, and enchantment of science and knowledge. By extension, it can also refer to the subject's skeptical or confirmatory attitude toward the signifiers of grandeur, exemplarity, elegance, grand narratives, and metadiscourse in culture. In his book The Reenchantment of Science: Postmodern Proposals, American scholar D.R. Griffin argues: "This disenchanted worldview is both the basis of modern science and a prerequisite for its emergence, and is almost universally regarded as the result and precondition of science itself. What distinguishes modern philosophy, theology, and art is that they take the disenchanted worldview of modernity as a necessary condition of science..." Modern science, with its disenchanting nature, means: "Not only in nature but throughout the world, experience does not hold a truly important position. Thus, purpose, value, ideals, and possibilities in the universe are unimportant, and there is no freedom, creativity, temporality, or divinity. There are no norms or even truth; ultimately, everything is meaningless." In contemporary philosophy of science, "disenchantment" is generally understood as the decline in status of once consistently believed in or celebrated people, objects, events, emotions, cultures, or conclusions after new understanding.
