>>91214722
So what did you guys think of the new episode?

>>91214722
>>91214733
Too many 9's.

>>91214722

Always knew Rick was crazy, but all this for some nugget sauce?!

Hashtag Absolute Madman HA HA HA.

>>91214722
He's screwing around. He's just screwing around. Especially because Morty IS SO FUCKING DUMB TO BELIEVE HIM LOL XD

Like, seriously. Morty is so abysmally stupid that you can create tactical plans around him. He's such a tool.

You didn't think 100 years was a joke did you?

>>91214722
Wait, did the new season drop? Way to hype it up, /co/, didn't see a single fucking thread. Link where?

>>91214861
Episode 1 was dropped on april fools
You should know how to use the internet to find cartoons by now

>>91214733
I didn't really care for it but I'm sure it was THE BEST EPISODE YET

>>91214722
Forever and ever rick and morty 97 more years.

Seriously I loved this callback to episode 1.

>>91214952
Or do we?

>>91214722
So what happened? I too busy laughing at mlpol i didn't know about it

>>91215034
Season 3 premiere happened.

>>91215034
in the last episode rick was put in prison

what do you think happened in this episode

he escaped

>>91214722
It was okay. Upset to see it fuck up Toonami's scheduling.

>>91215034

Rick escapes prison and destroys the Council of Rick and crashes the Intergalactic Government's economy so everything is back to normal except Beth is leaving Jerry and Tammy turned Bird Person into a cyborg.

>>91214733
I didn't enjoy it at all. I watched it 2 times just to make sure I didn't miss anything and it just wasn't enjoyable. I love the series but it just felt kinda forced without any substance.

Loved it, morty abuse simply doesn't get old. Still would have wanted for morty to be female.

>>91215034
Rick gets shot in the head and dies but successfully transfers his consciousness to another rick

Couldn't fucking stop giggling at end of the episode. Insane Crazyman Rick is Best Rick.

Am I supposed to like Rick?

>>91215268
You're supposed to enjoy watching him as a character, not agree with him

>>91215268
He's not a villain, but he's not a hero = not supposed to dislike him, but not like him either

One of the best episodes.

Not convinced Jerry will leave though and if he does I'll be pissed. I'm imagining the season will be Beth trying to find someone new or deal with Jerry leaving while Jerry does his own stupid shit. Maybe gets involved with dumb Rick and evil Morty.

>>91215309
Like Cartman.

>>91215326
Jerry was wrong though. Rick is the true hero and patriarch of the family

>>91214733
It's been so long I'd forgotten just how good a really dense writing can be

>>91215063
Did he really escape on the first episode?

>>91215357
Not even halfway in.

The only thing i didnt really like was the "drop the currency to 0" scheme
It was really rushed and i felt it could be elaborated better.

>>91215331
Maybe that's why fans of this show are annoying. They don't realize he's an Eric Cartmen character and unironically fall in love with the suicidal asshole nihilistic atheist genius.

>>91215309
It's weird because Rick is the only enjoyable character. He's carrying the whole show on his back. Imagine the Morty and Summer show if Rick was just killed. Lame isn't it? Why aren't there any other likeable cahracters?

>>91215263
>Pheonix Person

best character yet!

>>91215357
What the fuck did you expect?

>>91215374
It's because if they ever show anyone as a functioning, happy individual it flies in the face of the central premise that only idiots or assholes are happy

What's the name of that philosophy? Where happiness is a lie and depression and meaningless is the truth?

>>91215374
The other characters are all pretty enjoyable, its just hat he is, like, the protagonist of the show and shit.

>>91215331
Except Cartman get's his comeuppance usually. But Rick is a stand in for Justin so he can never be really wrong or called out on his shit.

>>91215309
I wish more people saw it this way, but a majority of "discussion" (circlejerking) about the show comes from the /r/ick and M'orty Reddit page, where they just masturbate themselves into a diabetic coma over Rick. I like Rick as a character, but they miss the point of him and only notice these qualities:
>he's more smarter than everyone else
>he's a dick to everyone but nobody can call him out because he's so much more smarter
>he's cynical, because cynical is smart
>people hate him because they're just jealous of his smarts
These dumbasses project themselves onto Rick in an attempt to validate the general contempt people feel towards them as some kind of testiment to their intelligence, as if being hated automatically makes you an underappreciated genius.

It's not like this ruins the show or Rick for me, but it hurts discussion, as circlejerks tend to do. At its worst, it could influence the writers to actually make Rick into what his misguided fans think he is, which would actually ruin the show. But as it stands, there's just a lot of people defending a fictional character from criticism because they see that character as the animated personification of themselves, and that's an even worse R&M thread cancer than the haters.

>First episode with female writers
>immediately got rid of the FUCKING WHITE MALE (Jerry)
BRAVO

Only thing that really sucked is that Summer just fell in love with Rick. Her opinion of him jumped crazy high with no explanation

>>91215393
Nah I didn't mean they gotta be happy or devoid of conflict. Just that they aren't funny,charming or interesting to carry the show. Even combined

>>91215416
Jerry hasn't done any fucking any time recently

>>91215268
No. You, like Morty are supposed to be horrified.

>>91215357
They want the show to be episodic, so yes. No season long arcs. Maybe two parters. Maybe.

There's definitely continuity, so at least we have that.

>>91215404
Meh I dunno. Would you watch Jerry & Beth? Summer & Morty?

>>91214733
Still good

>>91215408
They constantly show that rick is miserable and unfulfilled though.

>>91215419
Did you skip the whole second season or something?

>>91215416
I really hate how the show shits on Jerry. I tend to dislike punching bag characters in general because it's just bad writing and leads to really lazy jokes, but with Jerry it's so bad. The guy legitimently tries to have a relationship with his family but they shit on him constantly.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3XTwRyGyec

This show is the fucking flagship for teenagers

>>91215448
Is it because of the sauce. Is the lack of sauce causing him deep spiritual pain?

>>91215420
This is precisely why they are supporting characters. The show needs a few boring mc persons to contrast all the crazy shit.

>>91215408
This is so relieving to hear. Rick is starting to feel
like he was lifted from the short stories in a fat, unpopular High School atheist's black marble notebook.
>tfw to inteligent to be liked

>>91215408
He does get called out on it, but it's usually to the audience rather than the universe, and even if he did he probably wouldn't give a shit. It's also not always entirely obvious when people or the setting are doing this--I didn't at the end of Season 2, when Jerry was pointing out Rick has contributed nothing to their lives while ruining all of theirs, that he's a selfish monster that is using them, and everyone gives him shit for it; I just assumed that the show wanted the audience to agree with Rick and the family. Then the takeaway from the end of the recent ep is that Jerry was entirely right.

I mean, it still makes Rick kinda insufferable. It's gotten to a point where I don't want to see him succeed. He certainly deserves to have horrible things happen to him.

>>91215463
>making Jerry's dad a literal cuck

That was a bridge too far in my opinion.

>>91215443

Summer and Morty yes (though admittedly a lot of their humor has come from interacting with Rick or his inventions in some way). Beth and Jerry would just be Married With Children except way more uncomfortable.

>>91215372
Where the fuck do you guys find fans like that? Youtube comments?

How far out of my way do I need to go to find a fedora tipping atheist that likes Rick because of nihilism?
Why is everyone acting like the world is full of them, while I've never seen one?

>>91215507

#FreeRick
#RickDidNothingWrong

>>91215465
Could be. Maybe that sauce is what I finally need too.

>>91215463
Yeah but Reddit told me to hate Jerry because he has the audacity to stand up to Rick, and that means he's bad

Actually, why does the show treat him like he's so spineless if he's the only one standing up to Rick? I don't even really care about the characters since you're really not supposed to be taking this show seriously at all, but I am annoyed by shitty writing and Jerry just feels like a stand in for dads. The idiot dad stereotype is just really old, and treating Beth as a designated hero is really irritating. She's like Yonder or Bubsy The Bobcat.

Not to mention Jerry is funny. I get a lot more laughs out of him (partly because I can practically see Dr. Spaceman's smug face when he talks) than I do Beth, or even Summer. It seems like the women writers want to even the playing field, but instead of making the women funnier, they just remove the 2nd funniest male character.

>>91215507
Youtube. Go watch some of the clips of the show on youtube. I was like you but then i made the mistake of going in the comment section. It really makes you wonder how can someone so dumb enjoy the show.

>>91215463
I just wished they'd tone it down
he's a messed up guy but on normal levels
he was happy to have a job and a family that didn't shit on him 24/7 then when Rick showed up again they all jumped on his dick
the rest of the family is an emotionally dependent wreck
Jerry should have called for the divorce instead of Beth

>>91215546
Because he's not the smartest and he has feeling
This translates to retarded baby cuck to R&M's edgy rational fanbase

>>91215408
Rick never being wrong is one of the worst parts of this show.

Characters like Cartmen or Bender need to be wrong or get payback eventually. The scenes can actually some of the funniest in the series. Even add in Stan Smith or hell even Hank Hill. Protagonists need to be wrong. Characters that aren't wrong don't grow and static protagonists are incredibly shallow and boring. The jokes get old.

Also he's a weak bitch. The second someone was honest with him about his life style he fucking kills himself. what's stupid is his family is right there, he could go to them for help like normal, functioning people do. Instead he just burbs out some autistic passive aggressive cry for help and then goes to an hero.

>>91214733
Can't find it online and couldn't watch it on tv since I'm not a merry can

Does anyone have a mega?

>>91215268
No you're supposed to laugh at him but find him to be a mentally ill idiot whose a huge asshole to his family.

The problem is the fans of the show love him and want to be like him. You know how many faggots in college used to shout his fucking catch phase and started a habit of burping randomly? I despise his show. It's the Naruto of /co/

>>91215574
Ok but would you go to fucking Summer, Jerry or Beth for emotional support? Fuck no, maybe Morty but he knows Rick' a shit head

The thing is, I don't think you're supposed to agree with Rick, or think Rick is right, or like who Rick is. You're supposed to enjoy his adventures and their batshit insanity, with the occasional bit of blindsided introspection that often goes along with high-concept science fiction (even if they're usually playing it for laughs).

The problem is, Rick rarely ever suffers consequences for his actions beyond maybe feeling slightly sadder. He gets what he wants and he gets away with everything he does. And while the ride can still be fun, it makes you care less and less as time goes on. I don't want to see Rick succeed anymore, so how can I enjoy the predicaments he finds himself in?

Add to that with the show making the closest thing to a voice of reason and decency in the show (after Morty), Jerry, a coward, cuckold, mincing, clumsily manipulative, passive, insecure, mincing little man that the show actively shits on even when he's making sense, and it sorta starts to drive you away.

>>91215574
>he could go to them for help like normal, functioning people do. Instead he just burbs out some autistic passive aggressive cry for help and then goes to an hero.

That sort of behavior and self-loathing IS an example of Rick being 'wrong'. It's his major flaw.

>>91215498
Nah nihilism embraces pleasure as the true source of happiness and says life should be focused on pleasure and happiness. I'm thinking of the one jay says happiness is a false and pain and loneliness is the only truth.

>>91215331
>>91215372
>>91215408
Cartman is irredeemably a piece of shit.
Rick is irredeemably a piece of shit that occasionally has trauma based good moments.

An example is the first episode of S2.
Cartman would left morty to be erased from time without even thinking about it.
Rick specifically saved morty at the cost of his own existance in the heat of the moment.

It's shit like that which is making the end of this episode feel forced, since while springing into a "fuck you morty" rant is completely in character, there's usually a reason for it like a fuck up on morty's part.
"I'm doing it for the SAUCE xD" is completely out of character since he's practically talking to the audience rather than morty.

>>91215574
>like normal, functioning people do
>rick
>a normal functioning person by any stretch of the fucking meaning after all the shit he's done or happened to him.
Gee, i wonder why he didnt act like that anon.

>>91215507
College mostly. Also if you do any retail or part time job on the side you usually have to deal with that bullshit generation

>>91215605
A couple of "sad" scenes with mediocre music playing but nobody really calling him out on his shit isn't really comeuppance

I Hate Dan Harmon so goddamn much.

>>91215611
I wouldnt take that too seriously, honestly. That was a 4th breaking reference to the ending of episode 1 s1.

>>91215546

Face it buddy. You're only buttmad because you see yourself in Jerry - a spineless white man who can't get anyone else to like you.

>>91215563
It's because Rick is, plain and simple, abusive and a horrible influence on the family. It's the reason no one who has ever been in his life has been happy and a healthy state of mind. I thought the end of season 2 was Rick finally realizes that but nope.

>>91214722

On the other hand the show trivializes everything.

>>91215659
Except everyone including Summer already knew about it? They even dig up Ricks skeleton from the lawn.

>>91215597
yeah jerry is a pretty shit character but because he is the opposite of what rick is in ways he is a bit more relatable as a character? Like I was a little sad to see that Beth is divorcing him

>>91215680
Maybe nothing really means anything? I learnt that from the show

>>91215693
>>91215659
Beth probably won't take that very well.

Might even try to MISERY Rick to stop him from ditching. Hell, maybe she MISERY'd Jerry offscreen this episode.

>>91215123
Not a fan of szechuan huh?

>>91215631
SHOW SOME RESPECT

if it weren't for him we wouldn't have great shows like this and community and we also wouldn't have the AMAZING Doctor Strange movie

>>91215611
Except no one that watches this show, at least that I know of, realizes it. This is the scene I'm taking about.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q3RgbeQ-QY

Rick had family right there to talk to, they are actually concerned for him. Instead that coward decides to try to kill himself (can you imagine how jay would effect his family?) and every single retard I've talked to that watches this show has defended his action. Either his family was too stupid to help him or talking with family doesn't solve anything is always their answer.

The fans feel bad for Rick but they don't see that his pain is almost all self caused and there are NUMEROUS outs for him and the family unit is slowly getting destroyed because of him. I mean shit look at how is own daughter reacts to standing up to him, she's scared he's going to abandoned her again.

WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE WORSHIP THIS GUY AND UNIRONICALLY WANT TO BE HIM?

>>91215732
Nothing and I mean nothing can ease his pain.
Of not having the sauce.
The entire multiverse must burn in penance until this sin is rectified.

There were a lot of parts that were great while watching it but afterwards I realized the reset of some shit felt kind of like a cop-out.

Cliche but I hope that the newly hateful of Rick Morty runs into Evil Morty. I kind of feel like the series could use someone who can seriously challenge Rick.

I almost wonder if the 97 more years thing is a Simpsons joke, remember that episode where they told us that that they were going to run the show into the fucking ground, and then they actually did it, the absolute madmen?

>new episode of show
>/co/ isn't discussing the episode but only how lame fans on reddit are

>>91215708
No, you're absolutely right. Jerry is more relatable, even with (and in a number of cases, because of) these normal, negative traits which are emphasized.

>>91215780
Its a reference to the "100 years of rick and morty' line rick said 3 years ago

>>91215773
the sauce is the key to all of this

I bet it's important because it was his Beth's favorite and he went to get some the day she and Rick's wife died

THIS SHOW IS SO FR*CKING AMAZING AND DEEP YOU GUYS!!!!11!!

>>91215732
>WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE WORSHIP THIS GUY AND UNIRONICALLY WANT TO BE HIM?
It's the "SO RANDUM XD" personality combined with postmodern self-references and irony and nihilism. I fucking hate it so much.

>>91215786

4chan's contrarian bile nowadays all comes down to"if reddit likes it, i hate it".

>>91215786
>Every discussion of the episode eventually ends with the poster talking shit about their irl friends

>>91215709
Well that's one of the show's main themes. You, me and everyone in this thread will eventually die, be forgotten and eventually the concept of forgetting will be erased from existence along with every living being and the universe itself. In the end nothing matters but we go about our daily lives trying to find meaning even though it's futile. It's an interesting conflict between what we want the reality to be and what it really is. We give meaning and value to everything even though we don't really have such power in the grand scheme of things.

>>91215732
I wouldnt want to be rick, yea he seems like a cool guy but im pretty sure being rick is suffering

Look at any moment Rick has post season 1 episode 1.

>>91215507
You ever talked about the show to anyone outside 4chan?

I mean things got pretty tense between rick and morty. Morty literally shot Rick with the intent of killing him, and he probably resents rick for his parents divorce. Im pretty sure there will be a "Morty joins Evil Morty" plotline with rick having Summer as a sidekick again.

>>91215894
You missed the point. There's no real reason for anyone to care about anything but most people do.

>>91215574
It depends how you interpret the show.
Rick is wrong all the time, and as the show progresses Morty sees through this more and more. It goes as far as Morty killing Rick in this epsiode because he thinks the world is better of without Rick. The writesrs can go serious from there on or forgot about that incident forever.

>>91215947
>There's no real reason for anyone to care about anything
Survival. Safety. Comfort. Leisure.

>>91215357
Im more annoyed that they just threw away the fact rick actually turned himself in, in the first place because he loves his family.

>>91215947
Because it makes people happy? Because it can benefit people in the long or short term? Because caring is the first step to improving anything? How the fuck did Rick git gus at science if he doesn't care?

Of course nothing matters when you die. You're dead.

>>91216001
Right and that's the point. This bullshit philosophy falls apart when you actually start to consider it because if everyone believed in this shit NOONE would ever do anything. We'd all just sit and rot untill we died and society would get nowhere.

>>91216127
Oh yeah almost forgot about that episode. It's one of my least favorites desu.

>>91215579
it's on youtube

>>91215953

I think the issue is less that Rick is awful. It's possible to write a show with a villain protagonist, hell it's possible for the show to work almost as-is.

It's just that you can't have characters call out a character, show that this character is garbage, and then spend so much time of the show presenting just how manipulative Rick is while using the same manipulative tactics on the viewers.

Oh Rick's being an abusive asshole? Let's just have him try to kill himself to sad music to hammer in that you're supposed to feel sad for him. And then turn around and just have Rick do something even worse the next episode. It's clear the show -wants- you to feel bad for Rick at those moments as if it just wants you to keep watching so you will come back just to see him be shitty again.

It just brings up the question of what am I supposed to take away from this? Existence is sad? Thanks Nihilism 101
Emotional abuse can come from a real place of hurting? Because if that's the case then if the show wants to use those same manipulations the only clear answer is to stop fucking watching the show.

>>91215486
Though thinking back this new episode kinda spit in the face of that considering it turns out Rick turning himself in was still him using his family for his own selfish purposes.

So we're back to square one now I guess.

You really do need to get into the mindset of a Redditor to understand why this show is so popular. These people have never heard of adult animation in their lifes that wasn't stuff like Family Guy, it was completely alien to them. And they can't laugh at these shows because they consider these shows stupid. They want a show that isn't necessarily smart or funny or well-written, but that appears to be to appeal to their surface-level taste. Because these people live for that mindless self-validation. They don't actually understand what makes for good writing or good comedy, nor have they ever picked a book about physics. They want to pretend they do so and circlejerk themselves, that's what matters. Rick and Morty is just perfect for its demographic: these same college-age self-important Bernouts who "fucking love science". The entire foundation of the show is built upon the dichotomy between "silly sci-fi humor and references" and " things are super deep and tragic bro". This pseudo-intellectual "nothing even matters, I'm insecure about existence, we are all going to die" bullshit that R&M shits out in almost every episode is what appeals to it's audience. The show doesn't actually have the tact to even begin to offer an interesting presentation and discussion of any philosophy, so it spouts these edgy teenage catchphrases. Nevermind the bean-headed, noodle-limbed unexpressive character design, or how the story is non-existent and only comes up when the writers beg you to feel something for these characters so devoid of substance, or how the entire show is a trendy forgettable scenario of the week memefest with just enough sci-fi references to trick kids into thinking they are smart for understanding them, or how the characters have somehow been reduced to even more obnoxious caricatures than before, none of these things matter. What matters is that it appeals to the millenial redditor audience, and that's what's selling Rick and Morty.

>>91215998
Here's another way to think about it:
To yourself there are a lot of things that matter but to the universe your existence is meaningless. You or anything you care about doesn't matter. Nothing will prevent you or the universe from dying. Rick cares too but he also cares about one thing that most people don't care about, which is that nothing matters. That way he represents the conflict of you caring about something while the universe doesn't care about anything.

>>91216077
I do. I'm not a nihilist. I'm just trying to say that nothing is meaningful unless we give meaning. And that's alright.

>>91216135
>Still reasons
Right but they only matter to you.

>>91216137
That's also my point. Kind of. What we both said is right except that this isn't bullshit. Everything will end no matter what. It's not a matter of believing. Most people (myself included) just don't let it affect their lives.

Because that's not his family. IT's strongly implied they're just some dead Rick's family.

We have no idea who Rick's real family were, if they're alive, what happened to them etc. We don't know if he's the only Rick who knows a birdperson or squanchy, or fought the federation.

Aside from that it's looking like this entire season will be a simulation, and so will the rest of them.

Did you miss all the times he's shown to be fucking miserable? The time he tried to kill himself?

Rick is his own comeuppance.

>>91216276
>to the universe your existence is meaningless.
To a rock my existence is meaningless. To a retard my existence is meaningless. Probably to you my existence is meaningless. None of these having any bearing on the merit of mine or anybody else's actions.
>You or anything you care about doesn't matter.
To me and the ones I care about they do. They get influenced and affect others and so on and so forth
>Nothing will prevent you or the universe from dying.
So what? Why does death strip anything of meaning? Do you want everything to last forever? I like ice cream and blowjobs but that doesn't mean I want the same ice cream and blow job for eternity? Also how can us humans who never saw the end of a universe, with our limited intelligence and comprehension say in complete certainty the universe will end?

>>91215597
Well... Did anyone think that the flashback the bug alien detective guy saw is actually what *really* happened? Sure, Rick altered the formula so it allowed him to escape, but I can't be the only one who thought Rick was lying when he said he was lying about it. The Council of Ricks fucked him over and ruined his life. How many other Ricks were brought in line because of this?

The whole ending rant too seems like Our Rick was scrambling to assure himself/Morty/The Audience that he really doesn't care about anything BUT his wacky adventures/selfish ends. When really, based on the constant ways he tries to protect Morty and Summer and Beth he was that rare benign Rick who was caught up in the clusterfuck of the unthinking, uncaring Rick collective. And that incident, to paraphrase Scrooge McDuck, made him act more uncaring than the uncaring, more assholey than the assholeys so that he would be able to trump their shit.

Yes he always humiliates his Morty and treats the others like garbage most of the time, but he keeps showing his true colors at least to the audience.

...But...

That doesn't make him always right. It does sort of exemplify the nihilism aspects of the show, but it's not really portraying it as the ultimate correct way. Just because he always comes out on top doesn't mean he WINS beyond superficial shit, or at the cost of alienating himself from the people he's trying to protect. And that doesn't make him a pariah. Rick needs to be this way so the others don't get eaten by Vagina alien monsters or have the planet get annexed by shitheads from another dimension who want to turn the earth into a parking garage., but I feel like if anything Morty actually got the message of the shot right. Nothing matters, so come watch TV with us/ Live in the moment. Rick's not doing that. He just does all the over the top, insane shit that will kill others, and destroy existence rather than risk losing it all again.

What I dislike about R&M is the creator's obnoxious lack of a sincere & dedicated approach to the show. The creator's revel in their ironic detachment, exemplified most of all in their improv episodes. As if preemptively shielding themselves from criticism by releasing something deliberately half-assed. It is emblematic to me of the creator's lack of genuine insight or a lack of conviction in their own ability. Which would be understandable given the personalities behind the show itself.

Half-assing is only real philosophy of the creators. The show is conceived & shaped through a click-bait understanding of science, a lifetime of media addiction & the only partially digested nietzschean philosophy of the creators. It knowingly spouts the kind of lazy, autodidact, self-serving, personal philosophy of those weaned in the information-era: "Nothing really matters so do whatever you want."

It's a half-baked nihilism dressed up as cynical realism used to justify a shallow unexamined lifestyle of hedonistic "Dopamine is the greatest good". Ironically championed by those who consider themselves more knowledgeable than the rest of the world because they're armed with an internet connection and a wikipedia tab. It aims to make its audience feel smart & clever without making them think too hard. To validates the choices they've already made & reinforces their lifestyles. To makes them feel superior while downplaying their own shortcomings.

In other words. It's reddit.

Talking about shows after watching them is a niche thing. The vast majority don't feel obligated to infect the world with their opinion of a piece of art.

the "Fanbase" ...it's fanbase with an N

The fanbase's reaction doesn't make the show less funny. You took it upon yourself to go to some shitty website and digest enough of their opinions to be able to formulate a generalization of what a particular shithole of the internet thinks about a show.

Instead of formulating opinions on the basis of being counter to a particular group, you could just watch the show.

its the lowest common denominator in online discussion and fosters a natural hive mind sensibility with its post feedback system (downvoting to hide bad posts, upvoting to bump "good" posts, and giving gold for "REALLY GOOD GOY" posts).

Absolutely genius, and how you removed LGBT from the consensus of 2020. Oh yeah, all for us LGBT folks.

I'm already too ignorant to see the things you're doing, I don't even know what a caucus is. You have my vote next election, just don't scam us blue collars like you've blatantly admitted to doing on multiple occasions.

I like that they complicated the relationships between the characters in a way that actually matters to the plot. I hate the little moments like Rick's suicide attempt that try to add depth but have no real impact on the show. I hope they keep the conflict going and don't fall back into the old formula too hard, although I could understand people wanting more adventure and less plot.

>>91217155
You are right.
And in my opinion you should always ignore the lowest common denominator of their respective groups. Basically dont fall for their bait.

>>91217192
Ricks suicide attempt matters to the plot because he's shown as being miserable at plenty of other points, but that's the moment when you know just HOW miserable he is.

>>91217236
My favorite scene in the whole series is when Rick saves Morty and sacrifices himself, accepts his death and then suddenly pleads to heaven as he saves himself. Not only is it funny, but it shows how 'miserable' Rick is that he is ready to accept his death so quickly, but also that he has more to live for than he would ever consciously admit. I just hated how cheap it felt that Rick would suddenly get hopelessly depressed not two episodes later over something so tame. I get that the scenes can coexist but I personally dislike how they handled that throwaway moment.

>>91217714
Ponies is its own thing. You can make a rule banning them and it'd be very discrete, you can easily recognize, identify, report and ban it.

With the politics bullshit it's harder because there's so much overlap with stuff that is valid to discuss or joke about. And the "redpill" fags are arguably more autistic so they're willing to ban evade more. And that's not even mentioning the bots.

>>91217810

You're right, Anon. It's almost as bad as the avatar fags that riddle some boards.

Wish there was something that could be done about it. They get old.

I liked this episode. Works even if you take the 'poignant' moments seriously, because blotting them out with absurdist bullshit is what the man is all about. Dunno how else they could've done it. The escape was super fun to watch. Don't tell anyone on /tv/ I enjoyed myself, I guess?

>>91217668
Most of the show is one guy talking to himself over cartoon mischief? With IASIP you're watching an ensemble of actors do their thing. They're all professionals and they've kept it fresh season after season. I'm not sure about 97 more years of this, is what I mean.

Also, "Lampshade Hanging" is a bit old hat at this point. I don't know about you guys, but when it's done wrong it pisses me off. It's the "look at how retarded I am guys see I'm sentient please believe me" thing.

It was a good episode but it was very anti climatic emotionally. The s2 finale (and the season in general) was basically all about Rick maybe not being a bad guy at all, and just being a little crazy and sometimes selfish. And he eventually sacrifices himself for the good of his family. So I kinda expected them to do something with that but they didn't, and that's what bothers me the most.

I also felt like finding the portal gun on the dead Rick felt a little pointless, but it was still fun.

I mean I guess I shouldn't expect characterization from Rick and Morty of all things, but if that's the direction they want to to they could have at least finished what they started.

Honestly it feels like the episode should have been split up a bit. Felt rushed.

Holy fuck some of you are autistic as fuck. The show's hilarious. It's a god damn adult comedy cartoon show. It isn't meant to be a deconstruction of life, it's god damn entertainment. You guys are taking the show far more seriously than anyone on reddit does.

/pol/ (when it was called /new/) was already deleted once because everyone hated it and complained about stormniggers shitting up the site. The only reason it was put back up was to contain the flood of shitposting that flooded every other board once their containment was deleted.

The problem now is that the stormniggers that everyone complained about are slowly becoming the majority.

But Jerry is a pathetic slimeball who tried to shake down his daughter for money, was retarded enough to offer up his penis ot aliens as a heart for something he didn't really care for, constantly whines for attention, is terrible at his job, is terrible as a father.

You're not meant to 100% like anyone. Morty, Rick, Beth, Jerry and Summer all have flaws as characters but they're also shown to have positive qualitites too. To say any of them are good or bad objectively is a false statement and utterly ignores the point of the show.

>WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE WORSHIP THIS GUY AND UNIRONICALLY WANT TO BE HIM?

Are you really confused by this you idiot? The answer is simple. People want to be Rick because RICK = POWER, CONTROL, DOMINANCE.

>>91218159

At the end of the day you're correct, but I think what people are arguing about is the levels of grey each person represents. Yes each character has their good points and bad points, but it'd be disingenuous and lazy to claim they're all the "same" level of awful just because they all have flaws.

>>91218172
Why can't it be clever and funny anon? WHy not? are you saying it's impossible to be both?

I think Rick and Morty is clever and funny.

>>91218229
>>91215732

I never said it wasn't clever. I think it's clever too. I love the show. Clever doesn't necessarily mean that the show has to accurately deconstruct the human condition at a level that is suitable to some of the autistic posters in this thread

>>91217978
You know they're just gonna go back and forth with this stuff, right? Every time he seems like a complete monster they're gonna have him do something selfless, and vice versa. The whole show is based around setting up expectations and subverting them.

Bait.

>>91214733
It was funny.

Something I don't understand is how is it that the Galactic Government was able to stand up to the Rick Continuum in the first place? All the Ricks are supergeniuses with portal guns and zero morality. I don't know what the Government had that would check that power. Was this covered in an episode I missed?

>>91218479
Probably they have sheer numbers, the fact that they've been around way longer and also clearly have basically no morality.

Remember what Rick said about "Once you discover teleportation, you realize that you're the last person in the universe that did?"

>>91218479
shut up
stop thinking
idiot

>>91218246
You're right that it's a question of scale but that doesn't mean Rick is necessarily WORSE. Rick's the only one in the family who has intentionally sacrificed his life for anyone else in the family compared to others and he's the only one who's a confirmed freedom fighter as well.

The horrible things he does are horrible on a grander scale but he's also saved Earth as well as completely destroyed it and, unlike everyone else besides Summer, he's having positive character development. Jerry's always a self-interested cunt though. He doesn't care about anyone who isn't related to him even if he virture-signals that he does. He's also just abhorrent personally. It's just that all the things that make him bad are extremely relatable and universal; he just has SO many negative traits that it's hard to like him. But then, like everyone else in the show, he can rise to the occasion, he genuinely cares for other people and he's generally an optimist.

Nobody brought up Trump you stupid shit

Why does Rick suddenly not care for Morty even though we got 2 seasons where we were shown that he actually cared for him?

>>91215268
he's supposed to remind you of the edgy nihilists you argued with on Gaiaonline around 2004

>>91214733
Rushed as fuck, basically invalidating the entire finale of Season 2. Don't get me started on Bird Person being revived as a cyborg instead of just keeping him dead, all this does is make his death feel like a plot device.

This season is bound to be awful in the writing segment if the premiere is this weak.

>>91218322
>>91218427
You don't have to be either or anon but why do you think Rick and Morty is worse than Samurai Jack? They're both beautifully drawn/have lovely art, they both have fun storylines, they both have a great scope, they're both wacky and they both have nice, sympathetic characters.

>>91215326
for some reason I think that maybe Beth would get obsessed with Jerry for leaving her since right before they were talking about how she worships everyone who abandons her

>>91215507

If I know them like I think I do, they're probably spamming a bunch of Szechuan sauce videos and harassing Disney to bring it back because a character on a TV show mentioned it a couple times.

I like Rick and Morty and I like it's art style, but I wouldn't describe it as "beautifully drawn" or "lovely"

>>91218159
Jerry wasn't that shitty until season 2, in season 1 he was just kind of an incompetant father who tried to keep his shit together and got jealous a lot.

>>91218733
That's because there wasn't as much of a focus on him but he's always been a shit. All he does is whine and act self-involved.

>>91218615
Personally I don't think that rick and morty is all that bad, but saying that it's better than samurai jack is outright fuckin offensive.
Some of the best episodes of samurai jack are practically works of art the likes of which western cartoons have lacked for ages, what does rick and morty have to offer that's anywhere close to that level?

>>91218731
It's imaginative as heck and extremely psycheldic when it wants to be. If you're going for technical brilliance then I'd have to agree with you but I also consider creativity and colour when I'm talking about art.

Sin City is good and all but I prefer something punchier.

>>91218372
>Whitewashed
His parents had that yellow tint to them. Jack's just horribly stressed out constantly and on the verge of insanity.

Of course he's gonna be pale.

If you guys didn't already notice

His entire rant about Mulan Teriyaki, seasons and years is more or less confirming he still isn't doing time travel

He's bitching because he can't do time travel until what will most likely be the end of the series

>>91218597
>not realizing that the episode was explicitly intended to end every ongoing conflict, even the dumb marriage thing, and kind of fuck up birdperson's death for good measure, as an explicit troll on everyone who wanted the show to become more serialized

>>91214733
I loved it, the whole Rick brain switching sequence was really fun and I lost my shit to the scene where everyone was yelling at Morty telling him how stupid he was.

I think a lot of people on this board will be ass blasted that the council of Ricks are gone and the Galactic Federation Earth storyline is over already but I'm fucking glad personally. This show was never about overarching plots and that shit would've just gotten in the way of the formula of Rick and Morty's adventures.

Straying too far from the formula can be exciting at first but you often lose the original magic, I feel like that kind of happened with Venture Bros over time (though I liked Season 6 a lot.)

To be fair it does occasionally have some interesting background art, but yeah otherwise it's pretty much standard digital puppet animation using mostly mid-shots.

Though most people seem like they overlook that to point to the 2 minutes in a single season where they changed it up once and then never did anything like it again like >>91218714

>>91218821
Samurai Jack also had no consistent character arc and for every samurai vs shinobi there's a jack and the farting dragon or jack and the smackback. Jack has great episodes but it can also be hit and miss.

Plus, Rick and Morty can have some fucking punch to it anon. Not just the suicide episode but also when S1 E10 and Morty living through an entire life and then having to reassert that he's Morty Smith, not joe whatever.

>>91218909
>Straying too far from the formula can be exciting at first but you often lose the original magic
So that's why I didn't like this episode.

I wonder if this whole episode is an elaborate April Fools prank

>>91218479
I'm guessing the confusion of being warped directly into the prison had something to do with it.

>>91214899
This.

>>91214899
keep crying about it

Seriously I'm loving the new Jack season but I found the change up amusing, it's what makes Adult Swim a fun network. Jack will be back next week.

>>91218916
Anon, I can point to other great artistic moments. Like Human Park, where all the diseases aren't lazy blobs and are actual individual little monsters, the wedding coounselling episodes where Jerry and Beth's monster versions are both creative and symbolic, the fact that mosty of Rixty Minutes was completely unscripted and the artists had to work backwards from it.

I could go on but even if it's not technically perfect, Rick and Morty is more imaginative than basically fucking anything that isn't 12 oz rat

>>91219002
This. If nothing else Adult Swim has a sense of humour about itself and isn't afraid to dick about a bit at its own expense.

I really don't know where the fuck you get this idea, Rick is clearly displayed to be a broken shell of a person and not some perfect mary sue.

Just because he's successful and good at what he does doesn't make him infallible.

>>91219173

I saw a thread about this on /co/ earlier.

Why is everyone so quick to pin the blame on the 2 female writers in what is still a male-majority writing staff? Will they be the scapegoats for every blunder that happens in the show from now on?

>>91215416
You're a fucking idiot, do you really think a plot decision like that would be made by some fuck in the writers' room? That's the kind of thing that would come straight from Justin or Dan, or possibly forced by Chris Parnell having scheduling conflicts or something.

I kind of felt bad for the original Jerry, Beth and Summer this episode. Last we saw them they seemed to be pretty happy in cronenburg world, but now they're just a bunch of crazy savages.

I mean it makes sense, and at this point we've been with their replacements longer than the originals, but it's pretty fucked up.

Reminds me how I felt when the original Hank and Dean clones died on Venture Bros, its easy to forget that the clones we've been with for 5 seasons were just replacements originally.

So Rick's plan was just getting rid of Jerry from the beginning? If that's true then he set up Birdperson to hook up with Tamy at that one party just so that it would domino fall down everything up until season 3 just so he could get rid of Jerry.

Lmao, if you don't think rick is an irredeemable sociopath who deserves to die by the now then you have stockholm syndrome.

Third wave feminism at its core is about empowering women and changing societal expectations about what women (and men) can achieve so that women (and men) don't write off their own potential because of societal pressure of what is a man's job and what is a women's job.

For example, nursing as being sen as a female led profession. Women in management etc.
If you agree with that, you're a third-wave feminist. Safe spaces or man hating or any of that other SJW shite is down to that particular person's personal ideology.

Sooo, are we gonna ignore the fact that Morty wanted to kill Rick? The kid has completely lost it.

>>91219689
>>91219735
I'm beginning to think >>91219059 is right. Liking Rick & Morty is a sign of being socially well-adjusted and mentally stable.

I know some people feel cucked since they want to play daddy someday, but come one, didn't you enjoy [whatever Morty's mom's name is, Beth? who cares about the parents]'s blank-eyed rage? We didn't need to hear her say anything. We remember, Jerry. Some of us remember who you are.

I was raised by a divorced mother, though, so obviously I've a harlot's ideology.

>>91219798
Both Rick and Jerry are dicks. I wouldn't be surprised if they try to kill eachother.
