"Primal" is the latest creation from Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of Samurai Jack, Dexter's Lab, and so many other great shows.

Primal features a caveman at the dawn of evolution. A dinosaur on the brink of extinction. Bonded by tragedy, this unlikely friendship becomes the only hope of survival in a violent, primordial world.

Where has this show been all my life ?!?!?

Hey guys, i had to jump on here and express my feelings. I had never heard about this show until yesterday. I'm halfway through episode 8 and I am absolutely blown away. The transition into the supernatural with episode 6 was fucking awesome. I loved dinasours as a kid and this show feels like when I would play with my dinasour toys in my room. The animation quality, attention to detail, top tier fight scenes, the bond between our 2 prehistoric boys. All baffling. Even the way our Dino buddy behaves is portrade in a believable manner. He moves the way a I think a dinasour should move. No jarring facial expressions, yet the animators still are able to portray his thoughts and emotions. I'm floored by this show. Absolutely floored. I really hope it keeps this level of quality all the way through. Also FUCKING ZOMBIE DINASOURS !!?!?! LETS GOOOO !!!!!

Edit: I finished the show. Holy shit. This show is a masterpiece.

IMO rage of the ape-men was a huge missed opportunity

It could have been called Furious George.

I knew I have seen this logo somewhere.

This Eye!! What is it??
I was feeling very unrest about it, because I knew I had seen this logo elsewhere.

Today, when I was working on something, I found it. This is the Logo of Python Sphinx Documentation.!!

What is it?? How is a animated show "Primal" and code documentation "Sphinx" framework have this in common??

How does Spear shave?

He's a fairly hirsute guy, but is always clean-shaven. Does he keep a special shaving rock (probably either pumice or obsidian) under his loincloth for use every morning, or does his spear's point have a sharp enough edge to do the job?

Just discovered this place after rewatching season 2 and I have a question for you guys.

What was the reaction to the Vikings around here? The places I went to had some people adamant that Spear and Fang were meant to be the villains after the Red Mist episode, saying they were rooting for the Vikings, weird shit like that.

Granted, I’m almost 100% sure it was a vocal minority thing as they got a lot of pushback, but what was it like around here? I’m sorry this has probably been discussed to death but I’m curious.

Any updates on Season 3?

And, while we're at it, on Tartakovsky's other show, Unicorn: Warriors Eternal? We know Primal has been renewed for a third season, and I would imagine that it would come out this year. But beyond that, has there been any news regarding it?

IMO how Spear and Fang's story should've ended

Season 2's final episode just felt unsatisfying and rushed and both Spear and Fang at least deserved one more season. It should've ended on a cliffhanger where Spear and Fang were dragged into hell by the Fire Chief, and season 3 would've been them traversing through and surviving hell as they fight various different kind of demons DOOM style before facing Surtr as the final boss and returning to their world reuniting with Mia and Fang's offspring. Same ending except Spear lives.

Ugh's design in Jellystone looks so much like Spear

I was watching the new season of Jellystone and for a second I thought i saw Spear. The character is actually Ugh from Dino Boy.

Trailer for a new Metroidvania style video game called “Primal Planet”, this looks like the closest thing to a video game based on Primal!

Primal Tattoo

I am looking to get a tattoo representing primal. I want to do a caveman style drawing, with a caveman holding a spear, and a T. rex. Please any artists add to this post with pictures. I want the drawing to be as simple as possible without taking away from the fact you know it’s a caveman and a T. rex.

The giant fire thing at the end.

What was it supposed to be? The episode tag line said an old vengeance returns but I don’t remember a giant fire beast?

My Honest Reaction To Fang Laying Her Eggs

Okay, first thing to address, there has been a lot of discussion about this scene recently in the sub.

And I just want to give my input without making the conversation gross or awkward. So here’s my input.

I think that the scene was kinda beautiful because the way how genndy and the team brought it to us. He brought in a calm manner and really wanted the scene to be peaceful. I do think it is peaceful just as they brought to be.

On the other side I actually didn’t have a reaction to it which shows from the picture above.

So yeah that’s my input and I think that should close the case of this discussion

Why was Fire Even Needed

I just finished season two and I know I’m a year late but I feel wronged. That demon had noooo business being in the show. It definitely was an epic ending for My guy but nooooo.

I’m bummed about the whole supernatural shtick.

(Don’t rough me up too bad. I’m just a freshly upset person who wishes Spear had lived to see his kids and family grow up)

My favorite part of this show is how the bond between Spear and Fang grows over time.

At first it starts as mutual respect for survival, and later it becomes mutual emotional attachment.

I’m wondering at what point do you think the relationship moved into attachment territory. I’m guessing episode 3 given how they try to care for each other in the cold.

Why is nobody talking about seeing Fang lay her eggs

I was not expecting to see the miracle of child birth, like I haven't seen anybody mention it

Dinosaur vag is crazy, AND YALL ARE JUST COOL WITH IT

Edit: and I can't forget Fangs malewife, WHOS DECISION WAS THAT LMOA

Primal and the sacred hunt

Hello everyone!

I've launched recently a YouTube channel combining my studies of theology and my love of culture : Théoculture. One of my videos is about Primal and the sacred nature of hunting, how it fits into the evolution of our species through rituals, and what our relationship with nature should be from there. Samurai Jack is also mentioned several times.

Here's the link : https://youtu.be/xfUgPtlTGIw

Video is in French, but you can activate English subtitles. Enjoy!

I just got done binging both seasons. I really wish someone would have told me how it ends. I’m literally in tears over here over a fucking animated show. I just wasn’t ready.
