I feel like it leans more into the latter as a kind of tech industry comedy. It stars Rob McElhenney who played Mac in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and I feel like a lot of the humor his character adds is present in Mythic Quest.
I wanted to share this because I was pleasantly surprised by Mythic Quest and I feel like other people who are looking for a lighthearted comedy to watch might enjoy it.
I hate ‘Sunny’ but like this show. For the other dozen people who can’t stand ‘Sunny’.
Edit: I also love Silicon Valley
What do you like about Mythic Quest and dislike about IASIP?
There’s actual likable characters in Mythic Quest. People I can root for and empathize with.
Everyone in Sunny is an irredeemable sociopath. I know that’s the point, but shows/movies that are only about those kind of people aren’t my cup of tea. I passionately love the balet episode, however. 95% the dance scene, but still :]
It’s interesting because MQ is definitely still working specifically with severely flawed characters, but it also goes out of its way to make them feel redeemable in a way, too. At times it comes off as a bit contrived or phony, but I think it works for the tone of the show overall.
It took me a while to adjust to iasip. It’s similar writing but iasip has a plot requirement of the characters getting in their own way which leads to unsatisfying resolutions. And there’s a lot more yelling. Megan gatz is awesome
