YMMV / Futuro Ex-Porta

Go To

  • Creator's Pet: Bruna was accused of being one after returning to the competition in the repechage episode, since many fans believe that the only reason she was restored was because the judges felt compelled to do it following her complaint about her humor not being relatable for "straight white men" after being eliminated. Some even speculated that the only reason they held a repechage in the first place was to bring her back. In the same episode, Rodrigo Naice was eliminated instead of her in the improv challenge, despite most of the audience finding Bruna's performance far weaker than his, leading them to believe the only reason Naice lost instead of her was to avoid the awkwardness of eliminating her in the very same episode she was brought back.
  • Elimination Houdini: Bruna became one after returning to the show in the repechage episode. She earned the disdain of the audience after not taking her elimination in the previous episode well, and ended up remaining in the subsequent challenge, with Rodrigo Naice being eliminated instead, despite the audience firmly preferring his performance to hers. It only got worse when she once again remained in Episode 7 and made it to the finale, with the fan-favorite Rafael Pimenta being eliminated instead.
  • It's Short, So It Sucks!: The audience reaction is more akin to "it's good, so we want it to be longer!". The episodes run from about 20-30 minutes, and because of it several things end up being left out in the editing, with fans often complaining that they'd prefer longer episodes showing more. Episode 4 received the most criticism for this issue, since most of the performances end up receiving huge cuts, sometimes with two or three scenes being shown at the same time, leaving fans frustrated as they couldn't even properly form an opinion about the performances and eliminations.
  • Never Live It Down: Since Episode 5, the audience refused to forgive Bruna's Sore Loser reaction to being eliminated and her complaining about being "judged just by the amount of laughs you get out of four straight white men". With Bruna returning in the following episode, this led to repeated complaints about her in every new episode, and some fans even went to harass her on her social media and throw jabs at her on the social media of other participants, to the point where some of them, like Julia and Macla, had to publicly ask people to stop.
  • The Scrappy: Bruna earned the contempt of the audience after her bad reaction to being eliminated in Episode 5, earning the show constant complaints about her returning and staying up til the finale.
  • Shocking Elimination:
    • Rodrigo Naice was eliminated in Episode 6, despite the audience almost uninimously agreeing that Bruna's performance was the weakest of the five remaining candidates.
    • Even more shockingly, Rafael Pimenta was eliminated in Episode 7, despite him being considered once of the strongest candidates, and most of the audience thinking that both Macla and Bruna had worse performances.
  • Signature Scene: Julia Guerra's reinvention of "Sobre a Mesa" in Episode 2 earned her the first victory in the game. She managed to fit multiple great jokes despite the short time span of 30 seconds (the pigeon one possibly being the most memorable joke in the whole show), which for many fans matched the quality of the original sketch played by her namesake JĂșlia Rabello. It immediately made Julia one of the most popular participants and set a very high bar for the expected quality of the performances for the entire run.
  • Take That, Scrappy!: Bruna's detractors loved that Fábio Porchat appeared to throw a jab at her previous "judged by four straight white men" complaint in the finale, and also appreciated when João Vicente said "Bruna is definitely not the champion".
  • Unpopular Popular Character: Inverted with Bruna. Despite being disliked by the audience, she's very well-liked by her fellow competitors. In fact, in the repechage episode, in which the four remaining participants cast a vote along with the judges, three of them picked Bruna to return. The judges also praised her acting skills several times.
  • Woolseyism: Several Brazilian references are removed in the English subtitles, presumably because they wouldn't be undersood by English-speaking audiences. Examples include Naice referring to Big Brother Brasil 21 winner Juliette in Episode 3, and references to reality shows A Fazenda and Power Couple in Episode 5.
