Then this morning, Scavengers Reign landed an Emmy nomination in the very competitive, high-profile category of Outstanding Animated Program.
Outstanding Animated Program
Blue Eye Samurai
Scavengers Reign
The Simpsons
X-Men ’97
I think this is Scavengers Reign's award to lose. Also who is nominating The Simpsons? Does it actually deserve this spot? Somebody who watched it let us know lol.
Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance
Hank Azaria (Moe Szyslak) The Simpsons
Alex Borstein (Lois Griffin) Family Guy
Sterling K. Brown (Angstrom Levy/Angstrom #646) Invincible
Maya Rudolph (Connie the Hormone Monstress) Big Mouth
Hannah Waddingham (Deliria) Krapopolis
Out of this list I think Sterling K. Brown deserves it most. Although I'm sad Lenore Zann wasn't nominated.
Scavenger's Reign is a breath of fresh air, not just as an animated series, but in general as a completely new idea executed brilliantly. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It can be very disturbing with body and existential horror, but it is absolutely excellent.
It's not a 3 act plot story, or even truly have a point per se, at least not that I could fathom. I think of it more as art that you interpret through your own lens.
It felt like an anthology with 3 story lines that converge at the end, but the lack of any understanding of the world around (by both the viewer and the characters) them makes all interactions with the environment feel contrived.
