>>91212032
Kidnap McDonalds staff all over the command structure and torture the recipe out of them.

>>91212032
Honestly why hasn't Rick just gone to another universe where the Szechuan sauce was such a success that they kept it forever

infinite possibilities right?

>>91212046
There are infinite numbers between 1 and 2 but 3 isnt one of them.

Even if that universe is out there, that's a lot of universes to look through.

>>91212046
Thats what he's looking for. The nugget sauce needle in the infinite universe hay stack.

...Maybe this was a meta way of McDonalds to bring back the Szechuan sauce.

>>91212065
He was able to look up in an instant for a universe where he and morty died at that exact moment, but he can't look up a universe with the sauce?

Or god forbid just fucking find the recipe and create a robot that can endlessly produce it?

>>91212065
>>91212068

how then did he know to choose the exact universe where everything was the same but he didn't fuck up that one thing that killed both him and Morty

Theoretically wouldn't a 1:1 dimension with only 1 difference be doing the same thing

The only reason rick is able to actually control which universes he goes to is because he designed a way (The goggles in the inter-dimensional TV episode) that scans for genetically matching versions of yourself. He did the same thing in rick potion 9.

So, basically, he can find any universe ... as long as it's got a certain conditional parameter inside it that he can map and chart a course to.

Also, it's a fucking cartoon you retard.

>>91212113
It was better than all of season 2 combined

are you implying sauce genetically altered his genetic code to where he couldn't find a him that still had the sauce

captcha EXTRA CEPTIONS

>>91212138
I disagree. But plot was clearly center stage. After how they ended the last season, it was kind of required.

Brings a tear to my eye.

>>91212157
Well, from what we understand of ricks technology, i don't think so. What you eat doesn't alter your genetic code.

And you also have to remember that every other version of him is also a super genius of some description.

So, no.

>>91212087
the universe with the sauce would be 20 years in the past of spiting branches, then finding 20 years of IDENTICAL history except for the sauce issue.
the chronenbergs on the other hand was 5 minutes in the past and required looking into a different reality where only 5 minutes of decision making was different

>>91212167
There were better ways. Entire episode feels like the VR episode. All of it seems fake and a bit off. If this was a setup for a better season i'm fine with it. This episode,though, was one of the worse.

think of it like a tree branch, events need to occur in the correct order to arrive at a plausible outcome, ie the end of the branch, hopping timelines is just moving to another branch, youre not creating a different tree because you want it to be purple, it cant be purple, theres still limitations in place
yet because theres no limitation on how small a change can be, the universes are infinite, but that doesnt mean theyre omnipotent, like youre fully capable of coming up with a scenario that cant possibly happen

>>91212254
It boils down to poor pacing, unfunny dialog, and too many "plot holes" being filled by just killing everything off. There were some great ideas in this episode, they were not fully realized.

The episode overall felt fake. Like the episode itself was an April fools joke.

There's no fucking way they'd have shit like Nathan Fillion for an april fools day joke

Episode was a great start. Hopefully this means Season 3 will be a step up from season 2. Hell, the fact that Beth and Jerry are getting divorced probably means we won't see entire subplots revolving around those two arguing anymore, which was the biggest flaw of season 2 IMO.

What would Rick do if Jerry came back with the recipe for Szechuan sauce?

>>91212353
He'd shoot him and take the recipe.

>>91212336
No one forced them to focus on those two. They chose to write about their marital issues.

>>91212312
That is an incredibly vague reasoning, anon. Maybe you just don't like it because it aired on april fools day, and thus overthinking it.

>>91212366

There you go, buddy. If you try it and it still doesn't taste like the real thing, just mix it with animal fat and corn syrup.

jesus christ the sauce was a gag. it will never be mentioned again.

>>91212113

It was inconsistent with every Rick episode that there was involving his family.

We get a bunch of shit about how Rick supposedly cares about his Morty and has sentimental memories and how season 1 ended with this "I love my grandkids" spiel. He didn't even care that much when Jerry put his foot down or ate shit out of his fridge shelf.

You can blame this on Season 2 being bad but it invalidates half the shit in Season 1.

Biggest excuse ever.
It's shit writing no matter what.

>>91212588
Well, he did find one exactly like his except for Rick and Morty being dead.

>>91212564
How is him not caring for Jerry inconsistent with him caring for his grandkids? Even in Season 1, he hated Jerry.

>>91212377

I'm gonna agree with him. Back when I was an edgy teen writing fanfictions the first thing my friends beat out of me was the fact that trying to throw every big concept from the previous story in at once just kind of jumbles them all together.

I mean nothing was really explored in this episode. The council of Ricks showed up, but were super complacent and straightforward and un Ricklike because they needed to move past them, because they needed to also cram in the galactic government. Beth and Jerry show up but Jerry's position on New Earth doesn't get more than two jokes because you have to blow past that to get on to the next thing.

As much as people shit on Raising Gazorpazorp, it at least picked exactly two things and ran with them. You had an A story and a B story and you managed to get enough jokes out of both of them while also fitting in character development.

If you want to throw fast paced shit in, it works better as comedy. The TV specials work as rapid fire because they're jokes that you don't need to dwell on. But this episode isn't really billed as a joke since Rick gets melodramatic and there's just a couple of farts between those moments. But we have to cut to Summer and Morty then again to Beth and Jerry and between like four different locations. So the implication that he's doing this for revenge for his family doesn't even have time to sink in before the council is dead and by the end he's ranting to Morty who has no idea what he's even on about, because there's no time for Morty to even take in what's happening in that subplot.

>>91212630

His "I only needed Summer so Beth would get off my back" bit at the end was what I'm referring to.

We have like four episodes about how Rick is supposed to actually care about Summer, but now his relationship is apparently just a ploy to mill around his daughters garage.

>>91212665
We all know Rick talks shit. All the time.

>i dont like rick and morty
>proceeds to watch every episode as soon as it comes out

Just because the internet allows you to be a complete faggot doesn't mean you have to actually be one.

>>91212665
You still believe everything Rick says? What are you, a chick? Rick's an insecure emotional retard who women have no effect on his life and then tries to kill himself when one breaks up with him.

His character has been doing the same bit for three years.

>>91212665
>I only needed Summer so Beth would get off my back

Wait when did he say this?

this episode was an April Fool's prank you moron, you blew it

>>91212700
>>91212740


Yeah, but usually there's a motivation for Rick. Bean dude fucked with Morty, so he killed bean dude. He needed seeds, so he was willing to kill to get through customs and screw over Morty for them. His rant after that was him being pissed off he lost those seeds. He petered off and it got weird because Rick gets bored easily.

His rant in this episode has no real motivation. He won. He got everything back. Morty has no idea what the fuck he's on about with his wife or nugget sauce. Even under the logic of why Rick does the stupid shit he does it was the most random of rants you could have and then when he peters off it's an assertion that it's his "real" motivation, in a way that doesn't make sense in the way Rick has ever said anything before that point.

>>91212782

During his spiel in the garage.

Ok guys, I don't remember, but anyone actually remember how that Mulan sauce taste?

>>91212802
I've rewatched it like three times, and I didn't hear anything in those words.

>>91212794
>He won. He got everything back.

Not really. He doesn't like Jerry, but he doesn't want Morty or anyone unhappy. He sure as fuck doesn't want anyone to miss Jerry, it's a shitty as fuck situation. Rick would never admit he needs Jerry and that Jerry makes his daughter and grandchildren happy. In a universe with no jerry means a universe with no morty.

>>91212831

It was one of the first things he said dude.

>>91212802
you mean the same spiel about his entire motivation of everything being to get that mulan sauce back? Yea, autismo indeed.

>>91212847
>but he doesn't want Morty or anyone unhappy.

He doesn't really care about that. Morty, well, Rick is Beth's father so what good is being smart if you can't lord it over someone too meek or stupid to ever stop making you feel good about how smart you are:

https://youtu.be/TdnkP5Szixs?t=13

>>91212715

Unfortunately, many people avail themselves of the opportunity.

>>91212862
And again, watched it for a 4th time, and I didn't hear exactly "I only needed Summer so Beth would get off my back"

I did hear "Your Mom wouldn't have accepted me, if I came home without you and your sister", though.

>>91212875

Then why not just let summer die?

>>91212871

Yes. That speech doesn't really come off well in the sense that it doesn't sound like something Rick would say, as in it sounds like something a different writer who wasn't used to writing the character wrote it down as a callback.

I don't get how anyone could take Rick's ending rant too seriously.

>>91212875

When Morty freaked out about the Bean molestor he was clearly concerned.

>>91212887

I got the wording wrong but the implications are the same.

>>91212901
She's aborted in most other dimensions. She's practically a novelty.

>>91212794
I interpreted part of the ending speech as 4th wall breaking bullshit like they like to do sometimes. All that shit about sauce and shit was just Justin Roiland ranting in Rick's voice at the like they do with the whole "Season 1! That's a wrap!" bullshit. Morty and Summer don't know what the fuck he's talking about. It's just a thing they do in the show.

It was the end of the episode, it mirrors the end of the 1st episode where Rick rants to Morty on the ground like that. It's just a joke, relax.

>>91212932

So no real reason, no logic, thus no argument.

>>91212647
>If you want to throw fast paced shit in, it works better as comedy.

I think this was what the episode was aiming for, but at the same time I've gotten the impression Rick and Morty really wants to have its cake and eat it when it comes to having these "dramatic" moments while still keeping the rapid-fire comedy of the first few episodes.

It also doesn't help that airing the same episode several times in a row only highlighted the fact that they'd recycled a lot of jokes/set-ups from previous seasons, between that and how this episode destroyed most of the sources of conflict rapid fire, it doesn't exactly give any reassurance that the rest of season 3 won't just be rehashes of old jokes and plots.

>>91212032
It seemed like a call back to the end of the very first episode.

>>91212911
No, it sounds like a drunk Justin being let at the microphone to fill a little airtime. I doubt it will be really meaningful again, just like the 100 YEARS RICK AND MORTY rant (which this was a callback to).

>>91212113
Jack fag detected

>>91212952
>how this episode destroyed most of the sources of conflict rapid fire

It only killed council of ricks. Jerry isn't dead so he could be involved in future plots and the stinger showed the galactic federation isn't completely done for yet.

>>91212952
I got the opposite impression. I assume they were wrapping up all the bullshit from Season 2 so they could start with a blank slate, and get back to more Season 1 style random adventures. This is a good thing imo.

>>91212963

Again, the difference is 100 YEARS RICK AND MORTY was a character establishing moment. Rick has a moment where he acts like he cares, then he pulls back and acts like an asshole, then he peters out because he does that. Which is a pattern the series is built on.

93 YEARS RICK AND MORTY is the opposite. Rick acts like he got off a master Keikaku, then goes on an angry rant, then says he doesn't care about stuff because he has a real motivation.

>>91212919
Its the kind of people who hate the Simpsons Season 6 episode "Fear of Flying" because it contradicts a season 3 episode in which Marge flew in a plane without trouble.

>>91212960

Yes it certainly was.

>>91212980

The Federation was destroyed. They have no army and no government dude.

>Morty... Morty listen to me! There's -urp- only one way we can get Mulan nugget sauce in this day and age! It's going to -urp- sound crazy, but you have. To. Trust me. Morty, you gotta lick my balls Morty

>>91213008
Phoenix Person and Tammy are around. They were shown after the government collapsed.

>>91213000

The difference is as that other anon said, this show wants to have it's cake and eat it too. The Simpsons is an episodic sitcom where continuity is fast and loose and outside of like one thing every half a dozen seasons there's nothing to keep track of outside that episode. Rick and Morty keeps trying to build up an arc and develop characters, so the idea that characters are consistent doesn't fly, because then the draw of the show kind of goes away.

>>91213008
I was thinking along the lines of Tammyand the newly-created Phoenix Person representing the Fed Forces in the future since having a galactic federation actively gunning for the main characters really hinders plots.

>>91213024

That's a cop out and you know it. The whole cliffhanger of the last season got wrapped up in a bow and Tammy coming back is like saying Eyepatch Morty would represent the council.

>>91213000

Or how is marge 38 and bart 10 if marge got pregnant right of high school?

It's like....its not real

>>91212997
>then says he doesn't care about stuff because he has a real motivation.

Keep in mind that "real motivation" is a McNugget sauce. It seemed obvious to me that the rant was meant to be tongue in cheek, poking fun at themselves for letting things get too dark (THIS IS GONNA BE THE DARKEST YEAR OF ADVENTURES YET seems too direct to he serious) but fair point on the 100 years rant being a character defining moment - this one could ostensibly be the same. Still, the rant struck me as improvised rather than written, and the episode was solid overall. I'm looking forward to the new season.

>>91213035
Most implications of an arc in Rick and Morty tend to just be one off gags that people look too deep into.

I missed it, gimme a link.

>>91213085

>>91213070

Even so you have recurring characters and their gags are based on characters rather than situational comedy, or one plays off the other. You change the character it calls the show into question.

>>91213056
Cept' Birdperson is a fan favorite/Dan Harmon's (basically) one fuckin character.

But yes, I agree. It's possible that it was just a fun tease. I don't think that they represent a huge galactic empire problem, I just mean that they work as "villains" for whatever end-of-season-3-big-finale bullshit they wanna do, and because of what I said earlier, I think they'll actually do that.

>>91213056
but tammy was never shown killed, so it's not like they didn't leave certain things open for future utilization

I just watched the episode, and the ending really left a bad taste in my mouth. I just felt that last scene was one step too far, really too meanspirited, and I never had that problem with this show before.

>>91212032

fuck. the try-hards are going to be doing some cringe shit about this mulan sauce

>>91213118
I feel the need to point out that she's literally in the episode after the credits.

>>91212980
They also have pretty much scrapped the Cronenberg universe and the latent guilt Morty had over it since it turns out his family became crazy and feral anyways. And the main conflict with Jerry had stemmed less from him being alive but being part of the household putting Rick's living situation with the Smiths and how much time Morty gets to spend with Rick at risk. Having Jerry being pushed out the family means that's no longer an issue - so we'll probably be left with the same "Beth and Jerry are fighting" back-and-forth bullshit we've always had but without it having any potential effects on Rick.

And even with Tammy/Pheonix Person the federation has been completely neutered with very little chance of recovering outside of a universal reset, so at best Tammy's been relegated to minor reoccurring villain.

Summer is kinda hot

>>91213165

Oh you know it. It wasn't THAT good. It still exists too.

>>91212275
it's amazing how little traction this idea is getting. it was aired as a giant loop, and WORKS as a giant infinite loop (end of episode leading into the beginning fairly smoothly, only hiccup being the 'wish we could have been there' when they WERE there for most of it). it is absolutely more believable as a wish-fulfillment fantasy for Rick than something that could have actually occurred.

>>91213085
How did you miss 4 hours of shit?

>>91213175
They haven't scrapped his latent guilt over it at all

>I assume they were wrapping up all the bullshit from Season 2 so they could start with a blank slate, and get back to more Season 1 style random adventures.

Well, I admire your optimism anon. But as I said considering how much old ground they retreaded for this premiere it doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that returning to the Season 1 style won't mean just recycled Season 1 plots and jokes with a new coat of paint.

>>91212578

No it isn't. It drives home the point that infinite possibilities doesn't equate to every possible possibility.

>>91212032
Why doesn't Rick just go to a universe where Mulan aired in 2017?

>>91213394
Maybe he was actually remembering his wife and Beth right, maybe he just blocked the memory and just kind of remembered in a way that will not cause harm to him, heck, maybe he enjoyed a good meal with his family at macdonalds after watching Mulan, but he blocked all of that, and focused on the sauce instead, on his eyes, the last time he was really happy was because of that sauce, at least that looks like.

>A silly rant about sauce
>>91213875
No, I mean, the part where he never cared about his family and did everything he did (including surrendering himself) just to come back at the Galactic Federation, Jerry and accessory, the council of Rick.

That he does everything for the sauce specifically isn't really meant to be taken seriously, as he mostly says it to rub it in Morty's face, but that he cares less about his family than some movie promo sauce (whther or not that sauce is his real motivation) IS to be taken seriously.

or maybe the entire thing with the sauce was to trick the bug agent into allowing him a degree of access to his brain/mind, in order to pass the novel sensory information. or that novel sensory information, that the alien bug could never have experienced, became a beacon for Rick to focus on in taking over his brain.

>>91213895

Except its not.

>>91213497
>he killed his wife and Beth.
I can actually see it happening, by accident, that would explain why he didn't gave a shit when he fucked his "own" earth on S1, we don't even know how many times he had done that.

I am really dissapointed they ditched the "Galactic Government rules over Earth", I thought it would've been a good way to shake things up Earth related plots.

>>91214084
Sure it is. It mirrored season one. That Rick doesn't give a fuck is one of the primary components for the show. Then they give him a bored nihilistic exterior rather than the absurdist seen in 101 and 301 with narrative hints of sympathy and caring (like delivering baby morty)
He's a three layer doll that can break the third wall. His core is absurdity and 3rd wall, his DEEPEST LORE hook is caring secretly and his 'character' is depressed nihilist.

>>91214130
So where does "taking a silly scene seriously" take into place?

>>91212032
Sichuan means "four rivers"
That's where Mulan sauce comes from.
Could "four rivers" mean something?
Could the sauce just be some kind of cryptic message or just a symbolism of his true journey?

Can we have a real talk for a second? What id the "origin story" is real, but Rick is not the "happy" rick, but instead is the rick that came from the portal and messed up everything.

>>91214084
>Except its not.

>whther or not that sauce is his real motivation
right?

>>91212113
This, it stole heavily from another episode and then just did a bunch of shit and ended.

Was the sauce really that good?

>>91213198

>>91212041
Szechuan sauce isn't a secret, most Chinese restaurants have it. Hell, my University cafeteria serves it.

>>91215117
The rant still carried the point that Rick considered his family almost worthless. And I this was meant to be taken seriously.

>>91212095
Are you sure? There was a lot of pseudo intellectual emotional melancholy bullshit going on in this episode.

>>91215414
He means McDonald's brand sauce. McDonald's always pulls that shit. They have something that tastes great for a limited time and then pull it

That would also explain why he hates the ricks)

The one thing I hated the most, and the reason I fully support this as Reddit and Morty, is the pseudo-intellectual bullshit at the very end with setting the dollar to zero. Way to establish your zero fucking knowledge in basic economics. The moment I saw that I was expecting it to be set at one million, or some absurd hyper inflation where the dollar is useless, setting it to zero is just fucking stupid. It's not even a punchline, the joke is bureaucrats are fucking idiots, wow, real original guys did you dig up George Carlin and Charles Bukowski's corpses and fuck their rancid assholes until they coughed up that nirvana of a god damn 10 cent punchline.

Also, the absolute destruction of both the Galatic Government and Council of Ricks makes all that development in S2 completely pointless. Like, thanks writers for making S2 awful with development just to make it bland and terrible. I really hope what >>91212275 said is true because that would restore what little faith I have in the show that continues to do nothing but swirl down the drain.

>>91216565
>>ranting about mcdonald's mulan sauce
I said the mulan sauce was non-sesical. The rest of the rant about how he doesn't car about his family wasn't.

It wasn't made to be taken seriously, you know.

>>91216571
What makes me most mad is that all 'development' of Rick's character is just gone. Especially the really good S1 stuff like the Evil Morty episode where Rick starts becoming sentimental over the possibility of losing Morty, or, A Rickle in Time, why would Rick even consider saving Morty when he pulls off something like this? Or the 'emotional,' ending of last season's finale. It's not emotional at all, Rick's just biding time, might as well take out Hurt and replace it with silence because that's all it means. Absolute nothing.

>>91216571
>Like, thanks writers for making S2 awful with development
development in S2 were good, though.

>>91216643
The rant is one whole package, anon. Its either fully nonsensical, or fully serious. It can't be both like you're implying.

>>91212193

Lmao butts farting. Truly the ambrosia of the thinking man. Ahaha, Mr. Poopy Butthole, my mind can barely comprehend, this is surely the epitome of wit.

I mean I actually liked the episode but sweet Jesus you sound stupid.

>>91216669
Then don't make things serious. You either raise stakes or you keep things loose and fun. What was the point of grounding season 2 if you're going to throw up your hands and go, 'Everyone was right! Season 1 was better let's just do that!' removing basically all established anything in the span of five minutes is the single most retarded things I have ever seen and is the result of a bizarre combination of laziness and incompetence to carry through with what was originally planned.

>>91216695
It's not good when they scrap it all because 'lol Rick is evil!' If it the end rant just becomes the way Rick copes with losing Jerry, I'll be fine with it, I still won't like this episode but I won't hate it either. But taking the full extent of what Rick said into context all his motivation over the past season is moot. All the emotion you feel for him, it was pointless. He was always evil and he's just an old super genius Deadpool.

>>91216571
This is by far the worst take I've read on the new episode.

The currency thing is a fucking JOKE. Summer and Morty both propose some clever and complicated sci-fi solutions to a big problem, and then Rick goes and does something stupid and simple and it works immediately. The joke is the absurdity of the solution, not an anti-government rant.

>makes all that development in S2 completely pointless
No. R&M is (and should remain) episodic and humor-centered, it's a good thing that they got rid of some over-arching plots as fast as possible so that they can continue with their normal adventures. Plotfags pls go.

>>91216808
>Then don't make things serious.

They didn't. You're just taking it too seriously.

>>91216781
>Lmao butts farting.
But that is the punchline you idiot. Not that butts are funny, but that Rick finds them funny. It is precisely poking fun at toilet humor. Same goes for Poopy Butthole, the entire point of his character was being silly and unbeliable.

I wouldn't call this the epitome of wit but it's definetly more clever than the average show. The execution of those jokes matter a lot and they do it properly.

>>91216808
> is the result of a bizarre combination of laziness and incompetence to carry through with what was originally planned.
It has been known for fucking months that this was going to happen, the writers said long ago they were going to wrap things up quickly and the go back to one-shot adventures. You are the only one who seems to have missed the memo and whines about the plot which 99% of the time has only been useful to set up jokes.

>>91216965
>Deep butt jokes
>Dude the smartest guy in the universe is amused by butts, how ironic amirite?

yeah it's not that funny

>>91216808
>Then don't make things serious. You either raise stakes or you keep things loose and fun.
Both can be made at the same time. Not getting jokes at this point is really your fault.
>But taking the full extent of what Rick said into context all his motivation over the past season is moot. All the emotion you feel for him, it was pointless. He was always evil and he's just an old super genius Deadpool.
i kinda agree with you on that, but I have the feeling we haven't seen all of it.

>>91216735
>Its either fully nonsensical, or fully serious.
Wrong.
>It can't be both like you're implying.
Yes it can, especially for comedy like this.

>>91216965
I'm not saying butts and poop jokes can't be clever, just that it wasn't here. There was far more wit in Drawn Together than there ever was in Rick and Morty. Rick and Morty also does the Family Guy shit where it tries to bounce between 4th wall breaking/comedic moments and drama and expects you to "feel" the drama when the former renders it obselete.

In terms of wit Rick and Morty is pretty average, definitely not on Futurama's level

>>91217048
Dude, I'm talking about a particular scene, not the whole show. So fucking what that he says "i only saved you so beth isn't angry blah blah". That doesnt make the rant serious.

>>91217070
I agree that the switch between 4th wall jokes and drama is sometimes jarring, but this is a completely different issue. I'm just saying that reducing Poopy Butthole and the butts in S03E01 to basic toilet humor is dishonest, you have to ignore the context, the set up and the actual punchline to make it seem that way.

>>91217017
>the smartest guy in the universe is amused by butts
Amused by butts in a life-or-death situation in which he is using a lot of brainpower to summon them, surprising his captors who are not sure how to react. Again, not saying this is the smartest show or whatever, but it is more than you guys give it credit for.

No that's called being lazy. What was the entire point of the Hurt montage at the very end of the last season episode if it led into nothing, which I recall complaining about but being reassured, 'No it'll have a payoff, It's Rick's character arc being fulfilled.'

Season 1 was my favorite season becuase it was nothing but one-offs, if Season 3 began with the diner scene then diverged into a one-off, I would not care at all. I might be miffed, but abandoning the plot would be a god send at this point.

My point is, RM can't have their cake and eat it too. They have to choose which route they want to take, and they, unfortunately, got themselves stuck in a balancing act at the end of last season. But right now there's a serious problem when it comes right down to the comedy. The straight man is gone. Most of the S1 jokes were great because of Jerry, his perspective on a situation makes a punchline stick.

And why is Jerry gone? Plot. He made Rick angry. And I'll be damned if this doesn't get any more attention over the run. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a 3 part episode at the very end. The days that I liked the show are gone, and it's pretty clear they'll be doing more and more plot-centric shit from here on.

The excuses that 'oh it's not serious,' then why is it directly affecting the canon of the show constantly? The writers either have to stick to one-shots, or stick to canon and meta, they can't have both.

I still don't see where it is? Tell me why calling him Mr. Poopy Butthole and giving him a silly voice makes the joke wittier? Is it "ironically" immature? Because that's literally "Just pretending to be retarded" tier of humour.

We don't know yet how the separation will play out.

>>91217220
It's not being abandoned. He's still in the machine from the begining of the episode. The one we're assuming they put him in at the end of s2.

>>91217220
Your entire rant hinges on Jerry being gone

He might be divorced for one or more episodes, but I'm sure he will have a side-story in the next episode. In any case we don't know that, but there is no reason to believe one-off episodes are gone.

>>91217323
Imagine being so retarded you don't know what hyper inflation is.

>>91217220

I said the rant was serious, but the Mulan sauce in it wasn't.

The Galactic federation melting down over equaling 1 with Zero also wasn't serious and was a joke.

Joke affecting canon has always been part of the show.

>The writers either have to stick to one-shots, or stick to canon and meta, they can't have both.
Sticking to canon and meta doesn't mean you can't make silly joke about crumbling down the economy. If you took that part seriously, you have only yourself to blame.

>>91217364

2nd episode has Jerry actually going out to kill Rick and he does

3rd episode it's all farce and somehow it means Jerry really loves his family.

>>91217220
>No that's called being lazy.

No, thats called you being a dense motherfucker who can't seem to grasp the fact that you're an overthinking dumbass. Its not the shows fault for you being oblivious that its a comedy first and foremost.

Having a few things carry over through continuity is not the same thing as having an overarching story. Pretty much every episode so far can be enjoyed as a standalone thing. The only exception is the new one, and thats because its literally part 2 of a 2 parter.

Beth and Jerry going through a divorce doesn't necessarily mean Jerry is gone for good, either.

Why is nobody talking about the fact that THE Rick never had a Morty, because his true daughter died as a child? Technically, he never had a Jerry either.

>>91217480
>because his true daughter died as a child?
Because it wasn't a real memory.

>>91217251
>Tell me why calling him Mr. Poopy Butthole and giving him a silly voice makes the joke wittier?
This is so fucking obvious I feel dumber just for answering that. The entire point of the episode is that a cast of stupid and silly characters are introduced to kill the family, but only the audience can differentiate them from the actual cast. Poopy Butthole comes as a surprise because he looks fucking stupid and anyone would suspect him of being a memory-warping alien, but he turns out to be real. That is the fucking joke, and why him having a silly name makes it more clever.

>>91217480

This, I got two le downboats for posting an in depth explanation why I didn't like it which I'll copy and paste here after this and on Facebook a bunch of normie ass bitches called me a hater but then again I shouldn't have gone out of my way to post "it was so bad" on some random chicks status

Honestly, didn't care for the episode. Makes me think this was the solution they had when a theory video on YouTube figured out the ending and they said they had to scrap everything.

It's not that I don't expect a mindfuck from this show, cause I do, but first of all, the pacing was godawful. It felt like they crammed too much in without consideration for having it flow. Second of all, the way they resolved both looming threats was clever, but anticlimactic. Third of all, i feel like any bonding Rick and morty C-137 did over season 2 was just utterly shat on. Fourth, I feel like rick's motivation was completely out of nowhere, like, I get that rule of funny is a thing in this show, but Rick seriously fought the galactic government and council just to get one over on jerry for trying to turn him in?

and don't even get me started on this stupid sauce bullshit, irreverence is one thing but are they seriously going to treat this like a major feature of the show

>>91217552
I feel like there was another time where there was a fake story but it was kinda real.

This was just them destroying everything they had to work with for the sake of nothing but reminding me that this is a fucking cartoon

Cartoons are at their best when they're immersive and I can really FEEL the stakes the characters feel. With this episode they reminded me that their priorities lie in the "lol so random what a mindfuck lol!" territory and I like the show substantially less for that

>>91217588

combined with the above I think we're closing in on what the series is getting at

they're really honing in on the absurd here

maybe he had to use the Szeschuan sauce as a key to break out, but just like he forgot to improvise and whatnot when he took over mohawkRick, he's permanently damaged one of his most important memories

because he has allowed the ultimate disrespect into the core of his being. because he is the Rickest Rick, the one who won't even tolerate his own bullshit. this show is fucking stupid; gonna keep watching. the Mortiest Morty has to be the Biggest Bitch of them all, right?

>>91217435
When could this have happened? When he went to go take a shit? Or sometime after, the shootout between Rick and the Rick who had Summer, because I don't think he was shown anytime else.

>>91212275
That would have to mean that Rick is wrong though and since he's a Mary Sue who knows the solution to everything it would never happen. Even his troubled past and emotional issues are of little importance because they've established with this episode they don't really care about character arcs or development

>>91217552
Established facts? Rick mentuions that "we only get two or three moer of these" when he tells morty about bailing on his homeworld for a new one. From there you can infer he's done this before and that that family is probably not even his.

What was the plot of season 2. No seriously, I'm not seeing it.

My question is how did Summer and Morty happen to get the portal gun to get them to croenburg world?

>>91212112
So what year is Rick & Morty supposed to be in? The present, right? Because Beth looks under 10 in 98.

>>91217754
It was probably already set to that.

>>91217220
Dude are you kidding? They abandoned every plot element in the span of an episode, unless it's an April fools joke

I don't think every show needs an arc or deepest lore (although I prefer it far more) but this show benefits from it rather than just being le kooky back to le future randomness XD

>>91216571
This, except for season 2 being "bad", I've never heard that said until today desu
>>91216833
No it shouldn't. In fact I argue that all shows should strive for continuity and plot even if it's in the background and only slight. I love gumball but I find myself only watching it sometimes because lack of plot makes it feel like a colorful waste of time instead of something more meaningful

Infinite numbers means there IS all of them and that the number is inconceivably huge. I'm sure the guy could find some goddamn sauce

>>91217829
>Both are useless
Ergo, the same goal is achieved no matter which way.

>>91217435
What if evil Morty is actually a Rick inside a Morty's body?

>>91217588
You issue with the anticlimax lies with your first complaint, the pacing.

However he's still probably in the virtual world, so he may wind up doing this all again.

Rick's motivation was funny, but that was probably just him being a dick and being only somewhat serious. We know better than to take Rick at face value. Sure he wanted to be head of the household, and get rid of Jerry, but that wasn't factored in from the begining.

The sauce thing was just a funny side thing that's going to get meme'd to death though.

>>91213967
Actually it's just regular Rick, but as a pickle.

Doesn't make them the same though.

>>91217890
Idk it feels like they scrapped the episode where we saw Rick build himself a body out of a rat or whatever for this garbage. The only way this could be acceptable to me would be if it was all him in the federation prison simulation thing

I couldn't even follow what the fuck was going on and I watched it twice. The pacing was like some bad kids show (hence why I mentioned magiswords) and the worst thing to me is people who mindlessly eat this shit up and shit on season 2, samurai jack (haven't been on /co/ in a while but I guess it only took two episodes for them to hate that?), and defend this garbage of "LOL ITS RANDOM THO, AND IT MAKES ME FEEL SMART SO ITS GOOD RIGHT"

and some functions express themselves very specifically at certain values. which you know could be inside or outside of the domain between one and three

in practice, yes, the man should be able to find his mcnugget sauce. I think Rick had a psychotic break as a result of SQL injecting his consciousness through alien technology. how many worlds could really exist without Mulan? civilizations would collapse without the cultural touchstone that is Eddie Murphy as a squirrel dragon.

So apparently I got banned from the rick and morty Reddit lmao

Now it's that one and the Pokémon one because some retards can't handle mild criticism. Holy shit reddit is pathetic. I keep getting "there's been an error, your comment can't be posted"

The pacing was garbage and reminiscent of some crap show like mr pickles or mighty magiswords. They probably scrapped whatever they had when the YouTube theory guy figured out the plot.

Trashing all plot lines, development, and character consistency for the sake of "lol but rule of funny right it's le edgy spacetime randomness XD" is lazy, uninspired, and hack writing.

The only way they could redeem the show at this point would be if Rick is still in the hologram in episode 2, or if this entire episode was an April fools joke.

>>91212336
>Hell, the fact that Beth and Jerry are getting divorced probably means we won't see entire subplots revolving around those two arguing anymore

Man, are you ever going to enjoy the multiple episodes worth of them in court getting divorced.

Nonon, sorry, you are on the stupid side everytim you assume a writer change its plot when the fanbse "figure it out". It almost never happens. When a writer think he has a good plot, they don't deviate from it even when the fanbase guess it.

>Trashing all plot lines, development, and character consistency for the sake of "lol but rule of funny right it's le edgy spacetime randomness XD" is lazy, uninspired, and hack writing.
I honestly think we haven't seen the full of it yet, but I do agree that for now, episode 1 ended on a downgrade on Rick's development.

Can't wait to have it end with them reconciling again.
This was all still in the brain analyzer and the McNugget rant was to throw the Bug people off

More than likely we'll be getting a Mulan live action movie in the next 10 year. They'll bring the sauce back since now the curiosity/demand is there.

So was the entire thing about Rick going to prison just so that he could fuck over Jerry?
No "fuck, I really fucked this family up, they'll do better without me", just "fucking jerry he'll pay for even SUGGESTING of ratting me out"?

>>91213497

I can't see them killing Morty. He's the main character. Rick is just more of a plot device. He gets the ball rolling but both seasons thus far have been about him growing and reacting to the situations Rick puts him in. To set that development back to zero would throw the whole show out of wack.

Seriously the whole sequence with the divorce was just too much, I don't mind the plot development but after episodes from the first two seasons where we see they care about each other, I can't imagine that they'd just be like "nah, divorce"

>>91218340
I want to know why they started hating

>>91213497
I mean simulator Morty has shown he's more than willing to kill Rick if he's pushed too far. If anything, Rick is the one who would probably get capped.

>>91218370
Actually I made an account during the Pokémon sun and moon pre release hype and got banned, went there once after to ask a question about stitching a jacket since /fa/ is full of metrosexual trolls, and then last night to complain about rick and morty

You done?

I don't really understand the timeline? Mulan was 1998, and that's when Beth was a little girl. So when does R&M currently take place?

>>91218398

When I saw Beth's blank face I knew where it was going. I can only hope at this point they follow up on it and Beth does some real suffering this season. She gets away with too much shit and needs to get knocked down a firm peg or 20.

>>91218394

>>91218253
I liked it, that was probably my favourite part of the episode. "But never Jerry, and do ya wanna know why? Because he crossed me Morty".

I mean, I would be happy if the show went full on like that and just dropped the shitty drama crap which doesn't mesh at all with the rest of the show.

>>91218187
I'm in community college, anon. I'm not trying to intellectually browbeat you.

I'm saying that if you think of the universe as a result of entering very particular parameters into... something, which isn't that far fetched considering the weird shit that has been found like the unnerving transcendental number sandwich that is [ 0 = e^( pi * i ) - 1 ], and the show seems to be going for this. You may recall a computer screen in season one or two or whatever; it's in the dome of Mortys getting stabbed, anyways - a big 'ol computer screen says CENTRAL FINITE CURVE. and you can scroll through a bunch of Ricks. I was thinking that it implied that all of the Ricks with all of their portal guns was sufficient to begin mapping the multiverse, but as we see from the Citadel being a bunch of fucking chumps, it's a learning process.

Let's say that the conditions that produce a three-dimensional universe are only found between the square root of two and your mother's waistline. Outside of those boundaries, the idea of McNugget sauce is inconceivable. There could be worlds without any sauce at all. I try not to consider such things.

Now, it's possible that ours is the only reality, and that mathematics are just a ludicrously creative manifestation of how our brains have to twist themselves around with limited resources. In that case, the existence of transcendental numbers and their presence in weird shit like [0=e^(pi*i)-1] is meaningless and only really tells us that there are a limitless number of incorrect ways of perceiving the world around us. I don't have the heuristics for this shit.

There are infinite transcendental numbers; it's really hard to prove that a number is transcendental. Maybe Roiland and I are the same kind of asshole trying to slice the same turd and failing, but I hope that explains where some of this shit is coming from?

>>91212032
There's a new Mulan movie coming out, I see 2 possibilities.

1. The real Mcdonalds brings the sauce back now that people are talking about it again

2. The real Mcdonalds doesn't give a shit but Rick and Morty gets a universe where they DO give a shit, and Rick is there/goes there

Of course they could just drop the plot thread completely, if they wanted.

>>91218618
Lmao you're trying so hard

>>91212068
and he just killed the council of Ricks, one of which from a universe where that sauce was still around, and the rest of the Ricks likely knowing which one it was.

Yet he didn't think to find that information first before tearing the whole place apart? It would've taken, what, two seconds for him?

For being the smartest version of the smartest men of the multiverse, he sure pulled some retarded shit right there.

>>91218640

jeez, you're slow today, /co/.

>>91218712

I'm sure he had attempted to find that information out ages ago

>>91218253

Do you also think that in season 9 rick is going to get his szechuan sauce?

Do you also think Rick and Morty is going to run for 100 years?

Its very obvious when they're being ironic and when they're being serious.

>>91212087
Rick probably has all of the other Rick deaths memorized/programmed into his machines. He could look it up in an instant because "oh shit I need a new universe" is something he's planned for, and Ricks are good at finding each other, what with the Council of Ricks. In this episode Ricks showed up in the Cronenberg universe because they sensed the disturbance, they have trackers on this shit.

The sauce is different, he doesn't have DNA to scan or anything like that. He probably wants the REAL sauce too, not some knockoff robot sauce from a copycat recipe. That's why he went through the Mcdonalds Drivethrough but didn't ask them for the recipe or anything, he doesn't want the recipe he wants the sauce from them.

>>91218742
No because it's incredibly unbelievable, hamfisted and trite sweet Jesus. It's almost like a tumblr fanfiction inserted into a comedy show.

>>91218648

Outside of those boundaries, the idea of McNugget sauce is inconceivable. There could be worlds without any sauce at all. I try not to consider such things.

Well yes, that's what infinite possibilities implies, but as you said yourself the set of actual numbers is still larger than the fractions/decimals between them, so it shouldn't be hard for Rick to find some goddamn sauce

>>91212336
Yeah, when these "edgy humour shows usually on Adult Swim" shows get a divorce, they usually improve. Moral Orel got better after the parents divorced, it changed the entire show.

If he let Summer die, then his convoluted scheme to break Jerry/Beth up would have failed because Beth would be horrified that Summer was dead and be more or less willing to side with Jerry over her dad.

Which makes sense in so far as the notion that Rick only tolerates Summer because he can't manipulate Beth if he's overtly treating Summer like shit ala Jerry.

>>91218862
First off the tone shift whenever it goes for Drama is incredibly jarring, like it was inserted into a "designated jarring time". Second of all it's dealing with characters who seem completely immune to any growth. There was one point at the start of season 2 where Morty seemed to be developing a bit, in the way he was talking to Summer and such about his adventure, which was rolled back into season 1 dipshit idiot Morty almost immediately, third of all the characters aren't even likeable, hell Rick isn't even MEANT to be likeable except for self insert narcissist spergs so why am I supposed to be invested in their troubles? And lastly with all the fourth wall breaking and references it makes it even more jarring. This Rick falling into depression and almost killing himself is the same Rick who talks about how he's in a fucking TV series every couple of episodes so EVEN from his perspective the drama is stunted.

It's fucking atrocious in so many ways.

>>91217838
No they don't

Provide literally one example

>>91219087
>"designated jarring time"
designated drama time*, my bad.

>>91219087
Nope. morty has become more developed and stayed that way through the end of season 2, and even right up to this episode. Notice how detached and hateful he was of rick? That's continuity, cumulative hatred for Rick that's built up

There's no reason rick can't be likable,but he has to be built up to it because a man with infinite power like he obstensibly has in universe shouldn't be trusted so easily

>>91213064
The only way that works is if the next episode has Jerry hanging around and Beth basically chickening out on the divorce or the next episode opening teaser repeat the speech only to have Rick turn around and find Summer/Jerry/Beth watching and having heard EVERYTHING and Rick basically trying to play his entire speech off as a joke and, after the opening credit, us getting a new status quo in so far as Rick is in the shithouse the entire season and having to shelf his ego and win back the family for real, complete with Jerry basically bossing Rick around and Rick dealing with the fact that Beth truly no longer loves him/Morty being flat out TERRIFIED of Rick

>>91218829
>pseudoscience metaphysics bullshit
Certainly. Roiland is a child, and I smoke a lot of weed. Let's be real numbers here.

>you said yourself the set of actual numbers is still larger than the fractions between them
I'm interpreting this to mean:
>actual numbers > irrational numbers + natural numbers
You're absolutely correct, but I believe that the only remaining numbers that could compose "actual numbers" (all real numbers) are transcendental numbers. I don't think complex numbers are part of that; imaginary numbers are some weird planar geometry shit, I could be wrong.

...so maybe the portal gun requires a transcendental number key or some shit, to reach particular dimensions, expressing the different conditions. If that were so, it would explain why it's taking infinite Ricks so long to consolidate their shit.

>it shouldn't be hard for Rick to find some goddamn sauce
Many an individual has lost their minds in search of the elusive """sauce""". Isn't he moving through time at the same speed as everyone else? That's what the testicle timelord episode was about. Rick is smart for a mammal, but he's a big 'ol clusterfuck who can't corral a family of four into safety, anywhere. Even if we can teach computers to prove transcendental numbers for us, it could still take a while for them to process. Fucking up a dimensional portal could be catastrophic, and this show runs on the logic of "it disintegrates meatbags, haha". Even if it doesn't disintegrate you, and can randomly generate a bunch of transcendental numbers because it's a pocket supercomputer in a cartoon show, it clearly doesn't get always bring you to somewhere habitable.

The real issue is the interdimensional bullshit getting less creative the more Harmon gets his sticky paws all over the plot.

>>91216814

Next episode opening with rick still being in the brainfucker would be interesting.
Could be a scenario where morty has told the rick-council to let him go with seal team rick, pointing out that "Being saved by a morty" is probably their version of hell, and that he'd also livestream the attempt.
Wont happen, but it'd be nice for morty to actually get a win for once.

>>91213154
It wasn't really mean-spirited.

Rick was pretending he was a massive asshole so Morty wouldn't know he actually cared. The takeaway was supposed to be "aww, Rick's an ass but he cares deep down, he's embarrassed to let Morty know that but he really does care".

If you're talking about the divorce it's not mean-spirited, just a plot device. I have faith they know exactly what they're doing with that, Moral Orel showed that a divorce mid-show can lead to some great material.

>>91213497
>Morty will probably get killed sometime this season and get replaced with a new Morty just so Rick can keep doing horrible things
I really don't expect that one, our Morty has a fuckload of character development and our Rick is supposedly unique among Ricks. I could see them adopting a 2nd Morty or something, but Morty is basically the MC with Rick being there to drive the plot. If Morty dies all of the character development from the show was basically worthless.

>>91213665
Given it's a full length episode, even if it's "haha it's not season 1 episode 1" it's a legit episode of the show.

Maybe they'd say "It's just an OVA episode", and re-start with Rick in prison, but even if they did that this episode was a valid AU.

>>91212087
It's an infinite number of universes, so this is the Rick who has a really hard time archiving this specific goal

>>91219859
>If Morty dies all of the character development from the show was basically worthless.

Did you miss the rant at the end of this episode that made all the character development for Rick basically worthless? Writers don't care, they'll do whatever makes their new piss easy to win fanbase happy.

>>91212202
Yummmy.

Hyper inflation doesn't work relative to itself. If the $1 bill was worth 2 $1 bills, it would be the same as being worth 1000000000000000 $1 bills because the system is meaningless without a baseline.

>>91217754
Morty has used a portal gun before, and the croenburg world is HIS world, C-137. Morty probably just scrolled the history until he saw C-137, which he knows is his world, and clicked it. Why wouldn't that work? The gun has controls, and in this episode Morty identifies himself as "C-137" Morty when the Ricks freeze his old family. He clearly knew the world's number.

Even if the gun didn't go by number, he just needs to scroll until he sees a fuckload of from/to with the same address, since the last world before his current one was C-137, and Rick stayed there quite a while going to/from places.

>>91218253
>>91218980
>Jung said something along the lines of the repressed unconscious "shadow" mind is not necessarily the "true" mind. The repressed "human" side of Rick may not actually be his "true" personality, but neither is selfish asshole aspect a "false" one. It's a mix of both. The moments in which his humanity is expressed may not reveal who Rick "truly" is, but it's undeniable to see those aspects of him as part of who he is in a multifaceted sort of way

>>91219087
Rick isn't likable. He's an evil sociopath. Jerry and Morty's growing disdain towards him is supposed to sympathetic. Also character growth doesn't necessarily negate their "original" personality.

>>91219956
I think Rick had a psychotic break. A real-ish one. The Szechuan sauce was could have been some wetware SQL injection shit, as another anon kindly pointed out to me.

I think it's telling that we had a moment where they supplanted alternate versions of themselves because they were "less real" than them. I think what makes Rickest Rick the Rickest is his absolute, sardonic conviction that everything is less real than his perspective, and his own perspective on himself is worthless. Before, they jumped dimensions to keep the status quo. This Rick declared war on Morty's life, potentially pushing the biggest bitch in the multiverse over the edge. We'll see how they handle this season.

This will lead us back to eyepatch Morty. You can bet on Harmon's grizzled ass.

>>91218252
>he thinks a cartoon has enough influence through fans to get Mcdonalds to just instantly approach Disney and the new Mulan movie people and try to get a deal, all so 100 autismos can taste a sauce they can already have, but in a little plastic mcdonalds container instead

>>91218341
You're obviously butthurt they banned you, or you wouldn't come here to complain about it.

so there's a Rick or group of Ricks making it so that every rick eventually finds the way to create a portal gun?

does he straight up tells them or just makes it so that they are forced to do so?

how many times our Rick has changed dimension just to see if he can have a happy life just to see how it burns or he himself realizes that every version of his family look like them yet are not them?

>>91218455
It wasn't real, there was no "flashback". It was MADE UP.

If anything the timeline inconsistency proves it, just like Rick straight up confirmed and the scientists confirmed.

>>91212275
>Animatic preview of season three showed Rick still trying to break out of the prison
You right about this theory

>>91218518
>I'm going to bet the whole "divorce" thing will be resolved next episode. Especially considering its implied Jerry is the one who suggested it.
No way, they wouldn't do that. This is going to go full Moral Orel, where the divorce will be a spark for new content so they have more material to work with and things won't get stale.

>>91219001
It's funny, if they put something like a 3 day ban on that word post quality would go up pretty quickly if they enforce the "no skipping word filters" rule.

/v/ recently added a few words to the word filter, the same "insults" people that use "reddit" as an insult would use. Post quality is up a little, but if "reddit" and "plebbit" and other forms of it was added to the filter and became something like "another website" suddenly people would stop obsessing over it.

Ironically people on 4chan discuss reddit more than redditors discuss it.

So what's gonna happen to Jerry this season now that Beth is apparently leaving him?
Is Beth going to chicken out of the divorce at the last minute? Is Jerry going to try and kill himself, but can't go through with it?
I want to say that Jerry could be recruited by Tammy and whatever remains of the Galactic Federation, but I don't know if that would be a good idea from a narrative standpoint.

Could he not just reverse engineer the sauce one he got to the part of his mind that had it or whatever?

>>91221075
I don't think the sauce is his true goal in life. In fact, I don't think he even knows his goal in life anymore. I have a feeling that Rick's mind is only going to get worse and worse as the series goes on.

This better be a secret April Fool's episode, either that or they fucked up their writing. It's not only the doubling down on pseudo-intellectualism, but just all the tiny flaws that any competent writer would have told them to change or remove because of how awful it makes the episode.
