Fry, Futurama: The biography of the character

Who would have known that everything would turn out this way? That at one point he will lose everything - family, friends, work and will be in a completely new unfamiliar world. It's hard to predict, especially to him. Philip Jay Fry is the most important and one of the most interesting characters in the Futurama series. Who was he and by whom he became 1000 years later?

New Year's Eve frost

The whole story begins on December 31, 1999 in New York on the eve of the New Year. Pizza peddler Philip Jay Fry is at a slot machine located in a pizzeria. Having received the next order, he goes to the destination and is in a room where there are several cryogenic cameras. But the room is empty. After thinking that the customer cheated, Fry sits opposite one of the capsules. At this time, the countdown of the last seconds begins before the next millennium begins. At some point, he loses his balance, falls directly into the open cell and freezes for 1000 years.

The timer did not deceive, and just in time prompted the "pizza". During this time, several epochs passed, until the last came - the era of the future. Welcome to New New York! Space ships, flying cars, unusual futuristic buildings, alien races - all this was seen by Philip Fry of Futurama. No relatives, former friends, colleagues at work, and the work itself. His happiness has no limits.

Nobody was surprised at his appearance, because now this is a common thing. On the way out, he is registered by an alien Lila, who, by revealing what he is capable of, determines him by courier. Only with this post a guy does not agree, so he runs off to explore New New York without even knowing what adventures await him in the third millennium.

Fry of Futurama: photo and age

At the time of the freeze, the main character of the series was 25 years old. Consequently, he left the cryogenic chamber at the age of 1025 years. The events of the animated series took place for 11 years. Therefore, we can conclude that his biological age at the end of the last episode is approximately 36 years. For this time the guy has much gone through. He suffered a second frost, died and was raised anew, even observed the birth and death of the planet in the time machine of his relative Professor Hubert Farnsworth.

Fry was not the only child in the family, there was an older brother. As a child, Fry was more active than now, as he loved dancing, playing basketball and doing breaks. And not bad in this succeeded.

A little older, Fry became calmer. His past interests and aspirations disappeared, and their place was taken by the love of computer games and soda, which he consumed in such quantities that he often lost consciousness.

Before getting into the distant future, Jay Fry worked at the Panucci pizzeria, although he did not enjoy it. In his personal life, too, there were difficulties. The girl Michelle, whom he met, eventually broke off relations with him. Therefore, his last order from the cryogenic laboratory was in fact a gift of fate. Take at least his joyful exclamation when he left the cell and looked at the new world. Who cares what Fry went through - Futurama will tell.

Characteristics and appearance

Despite the first impression, it can not be said that Fry is stupid. He's just a lazy and not entirely successful person. And still sloppy, windy, somewhat insolent and far from modest. In New New York, he was sheltered by the robot Bender, and in this he was lucky. That, too, take a break, so the conflict between neighbors is a rare phenomenon.

Externally, Fry is no different from many urban residents. He has a chestnut with a rust-colored hue, eternally disheveled hair, medium height and weight. He is dressed in a white T-shirt, a burgundy jacket, blue jeans and sneakers. True, sometimes he wears a tuxedo. In general, he does not pick out clothes, so here he too has nothing to stand out for.

friendship

Is Fry friends with anyone? "Futurama" for all of its 7 seasons will tell about many characters, but the real friends will be a few of them.

• Bender. This robot-fold was the first true friend of Philip Fry. Together they worked in Planet Express, together rented an apartment, watched TV together. He even decided to saw off his antenna, which prevented it from catching the signal. Together, they passed many tests that repeatedly tested their friendship for strength.
• Seymour. In addition to the robot, stands out another important character of the series "Futurama" - the dog Fry. Seymour is a dog he left behind in the past and who never ceased to wait for his master. In the future, Fry will find the dog's fossil and even insist on his return.
• Leela. Alien Turanga Lila is the main female character in the TV series "Futurama". She has a physical deviation - she is a cyclope. That is, she only has one eye. This moment annoys her, so she does not like it when others focus on this. Although Fryu had forgiven such curiosity, she even answered his question. Philip immediately liked it, but, unfortunately, the feelings were unanswered. So in the series "Futurama" Leela and Fry as a couple will never take place.

Relations

By the way, not only Leela made Fry's heart beat faster. There were other ladies who, at least for a day, but took part of his "engine". Let's return, for example, to Michelle - the first girl of the guy. Fry with her converged twice, and both are unsuccessful.

Also, Amy Wong was a student at the University of Mars and Professor Farnsworth's intern on Planet Express. But their relationship was short-lived, as the girl very quickly bored him.

But Morgan Proctor, a bureaucrat of the 19th grade, has made great strides in this regard. She fell in love with his untidiness and even lived with him for some time. But Fry also parted with her. "Futurama" will show the episode when the girl offends Bender, for which he will remain alone. And there were a lot of such love stories, however, they never had a serious continuation. Probably, all because of the fact that in his heart was always a one-eyed alien - Lila.

Interesting Facts

They say that if you look at episode 9 of episode 12 of the animated series Simpsons, you can see a reference to the situk "Futurama". There, when the whole family moves to the couch along pipes similar to pedestrian crossings from Futurama, Bryte's head first appears as Fry's head. However, then it sucks back.

There is also an episode when Fry falls in 1947 and kills his grandfather. Trying to save him, he takes his grandfather to the place where nuclear tests are conducted. And as soon as he leaves there, the house is destroyed along with a relative.

Despite the fact that the main occupation of "guest from the past" is courier delivery, one day he will serve the law. Yes, there will be such an episode in the series "Futurama". Fry policeman will have to choose whether to kill Bender or not.

There were other unexpected moments, for example, when it became clear that Fry had another name - Joe. He even managed to marry Lily a couple of times. Probably, for him it was the happiest episodes.

Something of the best

In fact, all episodes of the animated series deserve attention, but here are a few episodes that are considered the most popular.

"Space Pilot 3000" - the very first series, which reveals the whole idea of the series. During this time, Fry manages to move into the future, find new friends, meet his relative and become a member of the team "Interplanetary Express." By the way, this episode a bit like the film "Star Trek". There you can even meet the head of the creator of the sitcom - Matt Graining.

"Lai Jurassic period" - a series in which Fry gets to excavation pizzeria "Panucci" and there finds the fossilized body of his dog. The guy decides to revive Seymour, but at the last moment changes his mind, because he is afraid that he does not recognize him.

Quite sad turned out 20 minutes, because the faithful Seymour for many years waiting for his master, who never came.

"Crazy in a supercomputer" - a series with a bank robbery, where robots Roberto, Bender and Fry become intruders. "Futurama" in many episodes puts their characters in extreme conditions. Therefore, they are not accustomed to it. As a result, the trinity is determined by a psychiatric hospital for robots, where even Fry recognizes himself as one of them.

The series was completed in 2013, immediately after the conclusion of the final 7 season. And it is not clear why the creators decided to close such a popular show. Probably, Matthew Graining decided to devote himself entirely to the "Simpsons". In any case, Futurama is a successful project, which is still gaining new fans.
