Ranking The Paloni Show: Which Short Should Get A Spin-Off?
1) “Megahex, Devil’s Night”
If any of the stories for The Paloni Show deserve to get the spin-off treatment, it’s Simon Hanselmann’s “Megahex, Devil’s Night,” but to Hanselmann’s credit he’s been building the Megahex brand and telling stories in this world for the better part of a decade in graphic novels. In this respect, it’s extremely exciting for Hanselmann to receive this opportunity and he already had hundreds of stories that involve Meg, Mogg, Owl, and Werewolf Jones, all of which aren’t characters that are restricted to the Halloween season. “Megahex, Devil’s Night” works as the perfect proof of concept that this hilarious, acerbic comedy series can translate over to animation.
The Paloni Show is streaming now on Hulu, check out our review here.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
