Fans of The Big Bang Theory may have mixed feelings about the upcoming spinoff series, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. Despite high hopes, some are questioning whether the spin-off will live up to expectations. According to Chuck Lorre, the show will bring a lot of visual effects to the table – and we’re not talking about a simple flash of light or a single CGI alien.
This time, there’s a lot of serious visual wizardry involved.
The show, which follows Stuart Bloom (played by Kevin Sussman), the lovable yet awkward comic book store owner from the original series, is expected to introduce more science fiction and fantasy elements. Lorre himself admitted that this is a departure from his usual style, noting, “For me, a big production number used to be two people sitting on a couch, drinking coffee! This is different.” Lorre’s attempt to push the boundaries of what he’s used to is a bold one, as the show mixes comedy with fantasy worlds.
Stuart’s character underwent significant growth in The Big Bang Theory, and many fans are wondering how much of that will translate into the spinoff. While Lorre and Bill Prady have already penned 10 episodes, the show has yet to be picked up by HBO Max, and there’s still uncertainty surrounding the release date.
In a twist, Lorre revealed that the team behind the show had already clashed with the DC Studios crew over a joke involving the Green Lantern, revealing that the DC team wasn’t thrilled. “We were making fun of the Green Lantern. Really? Even when I was 10, I knew that stunk!” Lorre said during an interview. Yet, as fun as the concept may sound, the reception has been far from positive among fans.
While some fans are hopeful that the series will live up to its promise, others are expressing doubts about the need for yet another Big Bang Theory spin-off. Considering how Young Sheldon struggled to maintain the magic of the original series, many wonder if the same fate will befall Stuart’s solo venture. The show may have a tough time gaining the same level of interest.
