I like it

We are only 3 episodes in. I like it so far

>>94520618
Its great and I even enjoy the contrarian tears

>>94520618
I think it's three parts Reddit, 50% Tumblr, maybe a 3/5ths 4chan, with a dash of DeviantArt in there. Overall, it rounds out to about a pretty LiveJournal of a cartoon.

>>94520618
My family and I watch it and think it's great

What are the actual criticisms? I hear a lot of tumblr, sjw ect but I don't ever actually get explanations of why

like are there specific scenes or speeches or whatever? help me out here

>>94520618
ts becoming community,sitcom style horseshit

Enjoying it, and you faggots are blowing everything out of proportion.

>>94520780
people are complaining its focusing too much on the family drama rather then sci-fi shit

Episode 1 was obviously really great, just about the height of what Rick & Morty is.

Episode 2 was fairly sub-par, too much going on, the elements didn't connect to each other well enough.

Episode 3 was back on par, with a mindless but enjoyable action plot, and a dull slow build therapy subplot that managed to pull off its payoff. Although nothing extraordinary and the most memorable thing will be the dumb pickle meme.

>>94520753
do you watch it with your wife's sons?

>>94520783
This.
It's delving farther into "family and marital problems" with the occasional sci fi adventure

seriously Dan Harmon is overdoing it with the divorce shtick. It's getting old

>>94520817
I can get that, I guess maybe I just saw overreactions or memey complaints about sjws and took it to be literal

>>94520618
I understand the gripes that the show feels different with the divorce stuff having a visible effect on the family dynamic in episodes 2 and 3.

Still, I am interested in seeing more of Rick's dynamic with Beth playing out, now that Jerry isn't always there as the weak, but consistently opposing voice to Rick's escapades.

This latest season hiatus really stocked up on the annoying shit the fandom has to spam, like "muh female writers" and "muh reddit" or whatever.

>>94520780
To much family drama
To much of Dan Harmons divorce bitterness is making it's way into the show.
there's no way all the writers sit in a room write the same Beth and Jerry hate each other subplot every fucking episode over and over.

They should have made the first episode a 2 or 3 parter and they need to tone down the family drama. Other than that I've been enjoying it. Worse than the last season though I would say.

It's seem to be focusing more on the drama and have toned back the humor immensely.I can see why people wouldn't like that since so many cartoons as of late have been ruined because of writers inability to construct a well paced and satisfying central plot, Samurai Jack being the final nail in the coffin for many.

I think nobody can truly tell whether or not this season will be good until years later where other seasons are made and we get to see the aftermath this is all supposedly leading up to. Maybe it'll be seen as a great beginning to a deeper plot or maybe it'll be seen as the first warning signs of the show's downfall. It's all too soon to tell.

>>94520618
to be honest i`m kinda sick of rick and morty,is like when you eat too much ice cream or something

>>94520925
I enjoyed the last season of samurai jack

>>94520738
I dont understand this and it makes me angry.

>>94520870
Idk universe is larger then the smith family and is the reason we started watching it in the first place

>>94520618
It's the same hijinks I signed up for and I'm having fun with the new episodes.

I'm mostly disappointed that a loud minority of /co/ seems to really dislike it.

>>94520946
But the point is a lot of people didn't and this caused wide spread disillusionment in the board.
It was okay, but Genndy threw in way to much shit which the show didn't have enough time to develop.

>>94521012
>But the point is a lot of people didn't
Only contrarians.

>>94520753
What about your wife´s son?

>>94520780
I liked the first two episodes but I'm getting tired of the action scenes. Third episode had like two attempts at jokes and just relied on gorey action that got old.

>>94520925
I think its the later, and i wasnt crazy for samurai Jack but it gave me what i needed

>>94520618
South Park had the decency to wait until season 20 before ruining the show with season long story arcs, Rick and (((Morty))) shit the bed at season 3.

Episodic for life!

>>94520949
You sound like a Dropbox user, maybe you should go back.

>>94521050
Not really, even I have to admit the pacing was absolute garbage and Genndy tried to juggle way to many things in the air which were ultimately half-assed despite as a whole enjoying it for what it was.

Rick and Morty might be contrarianism since for every 1 genuinely well thought out criticism you get 5 people typing "REDDIT AND MEMEY" whilst simultaneously posting reddit threads and making their own memes.

>>94520618
So you concluded Rick character ark with a monologue from a one time character in the the middle of the thrid season. Congratulations now you just have to drag until the season end and cancel the show. I hope Harmon gets his dick wet at least.

>>94520618
>S3E1
One of the best in the series, incredible episode

>S3E2
Below average episode, still not bad though

>S3E3
An excellent episode with an excellent concept.

It's a good start. No improv bs so far.

>>94520618
First episode was kind of masturbatory. But it's getting back into a groove.

Episode 1 was great, Episode 2 was mediocre, and Episode 3 was a lot better than expected and not worth the thousands of copies of war and peace written arguing over it.

>>94520618
Episode 1: Awesome, though the reveal of Rick's motivations for being sent to the prison undermine his character development and the emotional value of the season 2 finale.
Episode 2: Alright. Got some laughs out of it, but definitely somewhat lackluster compared to the craziness of the premiere. Interesting Summer character development.
Episode 3: Not as good as 1, but better than 2. Awesome action scenes. I know some people objected to the therapy, but I think they handled it decently, even if the Pickle Rick scenes were the highlight.

Overall, too soon to judge.

>>94521643
It had a real scifi concept and not just a "Isn't Rick the best of everything in the multiverse". That's something hambeasts who like Dr Who or Sherlock might enjoy.
Also it was funnier than the other two.

I like it so far, ep 1 was the best

>>94521735
>It had a real scifi concept
I have to completely disagree with you there. It was just a beat by beat Mad Max parody and easily one of their more lazily thought out episodes because of it.

Hell if you love the sci-fi aspect, Pickle Rick is far better because you get to see the evolution of Rick transforming himself and using scrounged up items to make cool new weapons and limbs.

It's pretty much fine.

That part in episode 303 where Pickle-Rick just made mouth-noises for 10-minutes wasn't funny though. That's about the only complaint I have.

>>94520618
Episode 1 was one of the best episodes in the entire series so far.
Episode 2 was mediocre, but still enjoyable.
Episode 3 was surprisingly well done, especially in the animation department.
Overall:
>S3E1: 10/10
>S3E2: 6/10
>S3E3: 8/10

I'm really liking emotionally detached asshole Beth so far. She didn't really have much personality in the 1st two seasons and I'm glad they're giving her something to do other than typical naggy sitcom housewife. And I think it's funny and also very logical that she's becoming more like her father.

/co/ doesn't seem to like it but I'm really interested in seeing how this plays out. Maybe she joins Rick on a few adventures without the kids.

This was the best scene so far.

I AM ALIIIIIIIIVE... Hello.

>>94520618
>This thread has anons reasonably discussing both their praises and criticisms instead of everyone just screaming GO BACK TO TUMBLR/REDDIT/POL/
I don't know what did it but it makes me happy.

>>94521798
Robot morty gaining sentience isn't sci-fi enough.

I felt like the episode would have been better is this was the B plot instead of the armothy plot

>>94520618
Someone in some thread described it best, so let me paraphrase:

>after all these fucking threads, I'm starting to notice a common theme. It's kind of interesting. People who watch Rick and a morty all come here for different reasons. Some come for the dumb stupid humor while others come for the dark humor. Some come for Rick being an abusive asshole, some come for Morty who is unsure and compassionate. So come for the crushing extential dread, others come for moments of happiness and clarity.

>some come for the shows character development and overal story, other are obsessed with every small detail and reference and how it all fits togeather.

>the point is, everyone likes something different about R&M, and for whatever reason, season 3 fails to hold up to a lot, if not all of these fronts. It's still there but it isn't as good and that's why you have such a wide variety of why people are upset and why everyone blames different people.
>personally I think it's the shift towards the family drama and the on the nose writing.
>but despite all of it, at least we can all agree Beth is terrible.

I honestly think he was right, everyone loves R&M for different reasons and its failing to deliver on all fronts. And that's why people aren't liking it anymore.

That being said, we have to wait and see until the seasons finished before comparing it to the rest.

>>94521882
I can't believe it either
could it be that all the pickleposting made it so those people got all their shitposting out of their system so now when there's a rick and morty thread they're either too tired to shit in it or they just don't feel the need to do it anymore?
alternatively, the majority of them saw the pickle rick episode expecting shit and ended up liking it
which one is it? or if you have other theories I wanna hear them

>>94521843
https://youtu.be/KnmQdHSRQ1U

I can't get the fucking remix out of my head. It's not even that great, but I'll be damned if it isn't catchy.

Also:
>I feel like Robot Morty was the closest to old R&M we've gotten so far...

>>94520618
I really enjoyed the first episode. Two and three less so, never care for the movie parodies and the lack of real jokes last episode did nothing for me. I'm predicting I'll be indifferent to episode four since it's another movie parody. I'm still cautiously optimistic that the season will turn around

>>94522089
I think this is fair thing to say,feels like Dan is losing his magic touch

>>94520618
It's just sort of meh, not really good nor bad, I actually liked the s2 finale (I'm not a big fan of the show, I give it a 6/10 for the most part), was hoping they'd do more with it but everything just sort of fell flat, like for instance at the end of s2 Rick made sure that Jerry got credit for turning in Rick (which surely would've only helped Jerry get employment and recognition by the govt.) when he easily could've said it was anyone else while still mentioning to let the family go (they didn't know that Rick turned himself in at the end of s2/s3e1) so why give it to Jerry and then decide to fuck him over in the span of a few days? Maybe to spite Jerry for the speech he gave but that was what prompted him to leave and even if that wasn't the reason there would still be little reason to give Jerry any credit. If it was so that Jerry could feel more happiness before having it torn down it might have not made a huge difference considering he would've gotten a job anyways and it's likely Jerry couldn't tell the difference between the federation liking him and not caring. If it was to help the family surely Rick doesn't think Jerry would actually be capable of doing something like that even with more money, they'd still be pretty miserable, especially Beth who he has indoctrinated into being dependent on him (as morty point out himself). Also his plan to escape and overthrow the govt/council of ricks doesn't make sense, surely with infinite universe there has to be a rick who has been caught trying to do the same shit and has been foiled, there should also be a universe where someone else invented inter-dimensional travel who would be pro galactic federation (that's just how infinity works, side note I hate this insurmountable gap they've made between Rick and everybody else in EVERY universe, one would've been fine but them all?). What about the council or Ricks? With an infinite number of Ricks they should've seen him planning this and acted accordingly.

>>94522138
Well I see a couple more baitposting RandM threads right now, so I'm not sure if it's a "get it out of our system" thing. Perhaps it's that this one doesn't immediately start with something divisive?

>>94520618

Episode 1 was fantastic of course, one of the best episodes of the series.

Episode 2 was fine, which for Rick and Marty is not up to snuff, but it's not the worse episode of the series. Although it might make the top 5 worst so far.

Episode 3 was good, not great, but if you're expecting great every single episode you're going to be severely dissapointed constantly. Plenty of idiots are hating on it because it was a more action heavy episode and that makes several episodes dating back to,last season where comedy took the backseat.

I think if they just whipped out a comedy heavy episode a lot of the criticism would disappear.

>>94522139
That feel of dread isnt there anymore sadly, but yes i agree it was a return to the form,hoping for more of that kinda stuff

>>94522220
I think Dan has just sort of given up. I can't find them but in previuse interviews he has said that working on Rick and Morty made him realize he doesn't "have to work as hard" to get people's approval. This was right after the Purge episode and said that episode got tons of positive reviews and took far less effort then a Rickle in Time which took far more time and effort.

So expect more parody episodes.

>>94522343
and to think that the purge episode is my favorite of the whole show
I liked seeing Morty all fucked up and Rick being the voice of reason for once, the dance number & song were fun, and I love me some light cartoon gore done well, it just hit all the right spots for me

>>94522232
They are just not taking it seriously anymore and it shows,i think they went with this nonsensical road is that they wanna make another 10 seasons and are waiting for that kinda big character arcs for latter thus wasting everyone's time with stupid filler

Going purely by number/frequency of laughs:

S3E1 - I found it funny, however reddit and normies ruined a lot of the jokes (The szechuan sauce joke got a laugh out of me at the time, but the amount of obsessing over it on facebook and reddit more than ruined it)
Best Joke:
>"aaaaaaand THAT'S how I escaped space prison!"

S3E2 - Terrible episode, easily the most unfunny episode to date. As many many others have said before me on this board, the setting was the worst. They thought a 'ebic crazy zany setting XD" would suffice for sci-fi humour. Family drama isn't that funny (at least without Jerry)
Best Joke:
>Robot morty and robot summers

S3E3 - Much better than E2, not as good as E1. Had a bad habit of reusing jokes that weren't funny the first time (the shit eating joke was a little bit funny the first time, but every time they brought it up again just came off as cringy)
Best Joke:
>pickle rick killing the cockroach and tonguing its brain

>>94522343
Yay more parody! pickle rick was the best,just kill it already

>>94522089
I feel like S3 has just gone to far off base and that's why its failing so badly.

I mean S1 was all about the adventures of R&M, and how it affected everyone else. Like R&M themselves had an adventure, caused something and then the family would be affected by it. Largely this is how S1 worked.

Then S2 had more R&M adventures, but also had a Ton of personal Adventures for the family as well. Things like Beth and Jerry dealing with relationship problems, or Jerry trying to break free of Jerry Daycare. So now everyone grew from their own stories as well as R&Ms. It basically doubled the adventures in this season.


Then S3 just doesn't do that. The first episode pretty much lacks the classic R&M Teamup and instead Rick-Panders to show how he can get out of anything. Sure episode 2 was closer to the original adventures, but it left a bad taste in our mouths.
I think people like >>94521843 and >>94522139
Feel like robot Morty was great is because it was the closest to a side/personal adventure we had from S2.

Then in episode 3 we get a forced new "Tiny Rick!" Meme and more Rick-Pandering with almost no Morty that episode. And in the end the adventure doesn't really cause change, it's an outside force that causes it, the therapist. Which is nothin like the prior seasons. And then to spit in the face to some, the last scene of the episode had the piano guy, which would have been a cool episode/adventure on its own, be just a small thing created for Jaguar. It shows which direction the show has gone.

I think if the next couple episodes come back to base with the first 2 seasons, /co/ will calm down a bit and everyone will be happy.

But I'm also afraid that it won't happen.

>>94522343
It's only a matter of time before they start doing political shit.
They could run this show into the ground and I would probably still watch it, but the minute they start doing political parodies I'm walking.

>>94522421
>>94522515
>>94522540
To be fair Dan is an egotistical man but one that listen to the tides of the wind. When Interdimension Cable 2 failed he and Justin said it's unlikely they'll make a third and judging by the episode list it may be the case. When people complained they don't like Beth and Jerry's marriage going nowhere (one of the most common complaints of season 2), we now have them divorced.

If enough people criticize him for this he may be willing to change things up more.

>>94522540
While I kind of agree that I don't want the show to delve too much into politics because I think that's a bad decision and low-hanging fruit, I'm mostly against it because of how /pol/ will react. Four threads on a one off Trump joke, minimum. All will go on for hundreds of replies. It will be awful.

>>94522524
>And then to spit in the face to some, the last scene of the episode had the piano guy, which would have been a cool episode/adventure on its own, be just a small thing created for Jaguar
yeah fuck that really disappointed me at the time, I miss the episodes centered around the two of them specifically because their cool dinamic is why I wat h the cartoon in the first place, well that and because I really like morty and sci-fi in general
it feels like morty in particular isn't getting enough screen time

>>94522429
The season 2 finale was just wasted potential, if they wanted to push the feeling of nihilism onto the audience by showing how a big character moment can be completely reduced to nothing and the status quo will ultimately return you back to square one then they could've done it in a FAR better way (though I'd prefer they supplement that by addressing the MANY counter arguments to that assertion instead of going for the most base claims and either not even doing it well or using a blatant straw man. If this is supposed to irony they could let us in on it a bit better by ONE character without a nihilistic viewpoint have a stable life in some way). One way off the top of my head that could've worked is having a character go from a normal life (normal by our standards, not that of rick and morty) and view the galactic federation takeover, ultimate collapse, and then the return of earth to 'normal'. Even with a life changing event the person hasn't moved forward, stopped by nothing but their own mediocrity/lack of desire/cowardice, kinda similar to how most people don't pursue any sort of goal to any large extent instead giving up relatively easy or deciding to not even try because they'd rather not risk their future (rick's 'life is about risks' speech might've actually carried some more weight then since it'd confront the viewers themselves instead of Jerry whom they can all push their insecurities onto and mock as rick does. Hell this idea is flat out rejected by showing that Beth and Jerry would've ended up unhappy by striving for success and not getting married to someone they clearly don't love). Something like that might've actually prompted some introspection and nihilism into the viewer by demonstrating how they live day to day without ever being more than they allow themselves to be, leaving them empty and feeling as though nothing really matters, since hell, they aren't really doing anything.

>>94522642
Cant have more then one male character being badass, thats why we got that shit with summer in ep2

I feel like the backlash is mostly echo chamber
it doesnt feel as fun but I don't think they wanted it to
it's pretty well the same show so I still enjoy it

>>94522818
I fucking hate both summer and beth tbqh, though summer is undeniably worse
beth would be an acceptable character if we got to see how her behavior impacts those around her, but we rarely if ever do

>>94522805
I think we had something special here,but if they wanna make cartoon for kiddies thats fine too i guess

>>94520618
Ep 1 and 3 are good. Ep 2 fell a little flat.

>>94520780
this shit spends episodes preaching to the trouble child stoner crowd

>>94520618
8.5/10
shit
8/10 minus the therapist parts

Clever, but kind of lacking in humor. Which was kind of the whole point.

But RnM has always been pretty hit-or-miss.

I remember reading somewhere that Usenet users (remember that) heavily criticized the Simpsons after season 1, saying that the first season was the best, and the show was getting progressively worse each season. This went on until season 7 or 8.

Not saying the same will be true of this show, but opinions can change over time.

>>94523248
maybe one day my opinion that the simpsons still had gems in it up until season 18 will become the norm,
I hope so

>>94522881
They missed a prime opportunity to actually teach there audience a valuable lesson, either make piece with your place and live life comfortably knowing where you stand or pursue what you care about despite the risks you might face and be satisfied at the end that even if you didn't make it, you at least dared try. The saddest part about all of this is that I felt they actually tried bringing up interesting ideas but decided to drop them all together, I've seen videos explaining the 'meaning' behind RM episodes and always felt they were completely lacking as RM never actually proves any of it's points, it just presents straw men and then claims victory.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zw_E4qwuNs
(Side note, I hate when rick sense 'scientifically speaking' since it's usually completely inaccurate and at first I thought this was supposed to be a joke but it keeps coming up and is taken seriously). So the idea of the episode is that modern convenience strips our lives of meaning huh? Care to actually demonstrate that with something the viewer can relate to or that's relevant to the real world? Maybe how college gives the illusion that you actually are choosing something you are passionate about until you realize you're likely going to be working at a desk job, maybe that modern convenience serves as an anesthetic to lack of self actualization, or something more than just 'apocalypse means humans become murderous animals' or that somehow any of this only applies to now, the vast majority of people throughout history didn't even have the possibility of achieving higher goals, completely limited to what was in front of them, but now that barrier is completely broken, replaced instead with the artificial one constructed by doubt and maintained by luxuries. However in the apocalypse one loses even the ability to dream as they no longer exist in any recognizable form if at all. Agency? There is none, only survival.

>>94523248
When I first started playing WoW seriously during WotLK, a lot of older players wouldn't shut up about how terrible dumbed down baby shit it was compared to previous expansions. Nowadays it's a sacred cow. Not saying that the current opinions will OBVIOUSLY be shown to be false with time, just that it's best to wait a bit before you can say there's a true "consensus".

>>94523279
I think they did try to make it relevant with the whole tv thing but it just wasnt enough for me.

>>94520618
This image gives me an idea.

What if they get to the final episode of the season, and Rick wakes up in the restaurant.

He never left the Shoney's.

>>94523366
>but it just wasnt enough for me
Same here, I'd like at least some exploration of these ideas beyond surface level observations/criticisms. I guess they don't need to do this, but then I'd like them to get off their high horse acting as though what they are saying carries any weight, is intellectually challenging/nuanced, or at all reflects reality in presenting truths, instead of what it really is, comedy with a mere smidgen of ideas worth thinking about, but not for to long.

Episode 1 and 2 were subpar, episode 3 was a pile of shit.

>>94523582
yea how many times is rick going to reference multiple timelines and infinite grandkids, do i need to come over there and write an episode? animation and jokes are great though, come on guy its still funnier than most shows

I just want Rick and Morty to do stuff again, it feels like they haven't gone on an adventure since the moonmen episode.

Episode one was great.
Episode 2 started out SHINY AND CHROME, but tailored off once Rick gave the savages modern living. I know that was the joke, but I didn't care for it.
Episode three just didn't have my attention, besides the scene with the roach and rat factory.

>>94523642
Too bad, it's the Rick and Summer and Beth show now with Morty occasionally doing something

>>94523642
right the adventure has to actually go places and evolve, hell they don't even have to have it all in one episode throw us an arc already its the fourth episode, we need a fucking arc

>>94523642
Does the next episode look like it will satisfy you? It's focused on Rick and Morty themselves. Sure there's the superhero parodies, but I'm pretty sure they'll all be dead by the end, maybe earlier.

>>94520964
Who's this "we"? The intergalactic escapades are one half of the reason, sure, but the other half is definitely how broken and dysfunctional Rick and, by extension, his family are.

my dumbass friend was worried about rick and morty not getting popular because it was too smart for people, but my concern of it getting too popular and riddled full of feminism seems to be more accurate, just like the ruined the dark tower series with a fucking nigger roland

So far every episode is better than the worst of season 2. I'm cautiously optimistic for the rest of it.

to me the highlight of episode two, along with robotmorty and mortyarm, was discovering that Rick isn't into cannibalism, that was really interesting for some reason
I like discovering what limits the most fucked up man in the universe could have

I think the season's biggest problem so far is putting Pickle Rick right after the apocalypse episode. Having an episode or two completely removed from the divorce plot would have helped the pacing.

>>94523722
i mean he tried it, he just didnt like it

maybe if you cook the meat right its fine

>>94523743
100% agree with this statement and suggest they have some sort of arc with pheonix person or some shit to mix things up

>>94520618
over designed and bloated, too much talking too.

Hit or miss

>>94521006
Now that Rick and Morty is as popular as it is, /co/ basically has to hate it. Look what happened with Young Justice.

>>94521843
The Pinocchio effect

>>94523776
as rick would say you overthink the reasoning of why people do things, boredom is our tool of advancement and it is unique to us, him finding ways of not doing things like, turning into a pickle, kind of shows that even when you're a smart dude, sometimes you make really dumb choices from stress

that being said rick needs an enemy, a foil, a gary stu is never good in any universe and it can't just be life beating him down because, well, nothings happening

the two choices the show has is to commit to a serious character plot that seems to be developing and actually i don't know "develop" the characters some, or resign yourself to what you are, one-shots in a universe that constantly re-sets

>>94523913
>rick needs an enemy, a foil
the crew did say that they want to do an evil morty arc eventually, I just hope it comes soon, possibly this season

>>94523940
ohhhh i totally forgot about the evil morty!

hope in the show has been rekindled, going to bed anons

>>94523940
I want to know if he'll team up with Tammy.

>>94523696
Its called grounding the story by giving the two main character a family and thus most boring part in the show,most people watch RandM for the sci-fi so idk wtf you talking about mate,we as wast majority of people who wanna see some crazy shit going down not characters sitting in a room talking about their emotion

>>94523940
thats dumb they need to expend phoenix person first, evil morty is more like an end of show villain

>>94524027
listen, g u y, every cathartic release in a show needs a build-up, it's tension and release, TENSION.... release, to know the characters slightly better, or see how they interact or react to stress might give us a better look at their true personalities and thus as the creators flesh out and discover what they want the characters to be, we, the audience, get better interaction between the characters. No this doesn't all need to take place on a couch but the multiverse TV episode did, and that's one of the most well-liked episodes, so you know maybe actually know what you're talking about.

I feel like the show just doesn't give a shit anymore with them destroying the Council of Ricks and the Intergalactic Government all in one episode. Hard for me to get invested when I know they're always gonna pull stuff like that.

That being said opener was good and I liked the Pickle Rick episode despite the memeing, and the 2nd was eh but I liked arm and some jokes. I'm still watching at least.

this episode may have saved my life.

i thought i was the only one struggling with a poop eating problem

>>94524027
You're complaining about character development as if it's never been part of Rick and Morty before. It's been in since forever, the backdrop to the crazy shit happening all the time is how terrible of a person Rick has always been.

But if all you want is flashy explosions and crazy shit this last episode had tons of that, I don't know what the heck you're complaining about.

>>94521231
This.

It's just completely unbelievable that ANY therapist would be able glean enough information about Rick and his family from a SINGLE session, let alone gain enough insight to formulate such a glib and pretty-sounding little speech that perfectly encapsulates the entire problem.

It's just plain terrible writing (should have spaced it over several episodes at least).

>>94524123
you're complaining about an episode you still like so i mean thats good, remember what rick and morty started as? yea, kid sucking an old dudes knob to go back to the future

maybe you guys just need to curb your expectations a little and except what you get instead of trying to write the show for them but i mean thats what this place is for right?

>>94524218
It's for a joke you idiot. Do you complain about how Rick can dimension hop and literally had an entire universe he used just to power his vehicle? Cuz that shit's impossible too.

>>94524251
I'm still liking it mostly, I just don't think stuff like that is a good sign. They're gonna get too far into the ironically subverting shit and making the show worse off.

>>94524300
Yeah, I KNOW it's a joke. The problem is that it makes no sense, doesn't work and ISN'T FUNNY.

>>94524100
I said talking about emotion not sitting down,learn to read son,you are talking shit we all know,so idk you said nothing there

>>94524217
Action should be interwoven with the story itself (mad max),you are simplifying complex stuff here budy

>>94520618
You know what I want to see? Summer's reaction to Tammy's return. This was one of her close friends, that she now knows is a dangerous secret agent who only cared about nabbing her grandfather. It would be a very interesting interaction.

>>94520817
This would be my biggest gripe. Other than that I enjoy it. It's not the best thing in the world but I still look forward to it.

>>94525211
I'm guessing you didn't see the episode.

>>94525360
It was badly done,if you cant see that i cant make you see it

>>94520618
I actually like to see Rick in a more down to earth setting. The sci-fi shit is still good, but him having to conform to something like normal life is pretty funny.

So far I'm liking it a lot.

First episode was 8/10, second was 5/10, third was 6/10

>>94520817
I'm enjoying the family stuff, I want to see what they do with Jerry. Hope he gets a better life without Beth.

>>94521074
This. Ep 1 had a long "Rick is a badass* scene with him destroying the council. Then in ep3 we get ANOTHER "Rick is a badass" plot only it lasts the entire main plotline.

Happens all the time. Character get popular so the writer starts sucking their dick in universe

>>94525914
As awesome as it is to see Rick throw down, it DOES seem like they're making him too powerful. He needs to lose.

It happens with literally every fandom. Literally EVERY fandom. As soon as there's a new season or spinoff or anything of the sort, a vocal minority will spring up and claim that the new thing is shit and not as good as it was before.

And with the advent of the internet, you can actually go back and find examples of it all over the place. You can find groups from the 90s complaining about how Ocarina of Time is casual garbage and has ruined Zelda forever by including a picture of Princess Peach in Hyrule Castle (and no, I'm not making that part up). You can find people posting way back in '93 about how much they hate Gohan as the new protagonist in Dragon Ball, when the series was still ongoing. You can find vitriolic hatred towards Gundam ZZ on message boards from the early and mid 90s. You can Dr. Who fans on usenet bitching over how everything went downhill after Tom Baker left. You can find whole tomes of fanboy rage over any edition change in Warhammer 40k. And of course, there were the infamous GEEWUN Transformers fans who went apeshit over how, and I quote, "Optimus prime has gone from a mack truck to a damn gorilla. Every transformer fan I know almost wants to cry when they go into a store and see what Transformers have become." Don't even get me started on Pokemon or Sonic fandoms.

Rick and Morty's fandom has grown large enough and the series successful enough that it's happened here too, only made worse with the shifts in board culture /co/'s gone through. Regardless of actual quality, you are going to have a vocal minority that springs up and hates the new episodes for a variety of reasons. This doesn't necessarily mean they're wrong, but take the complaints you see with a few teaspoons of salt.

>>94526134
Wow. Its almost as if when things change, 100% of people are never going to like the change.

>>94526134
Or you know..its shit

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

I have enjoyed each episode as well as the pickle posting.
episode 2 was a little weak though.

It's alright. It's like Futurama but for violent, evil people.

Pickle Ricks plan was overly zany and nonsensical even do Rick.

Jaguar is just a cheap attempt at Stellios contos.

The action scene was as bad as the Purge episode except went on even longer without any point. No action jokes that made it worth it and no tension or reason for it to happen. It was all contrived coincidences.

It was just a garbage episode. Maybe next one will be better.

It's really dull and they totally wrecked some characters personalities by trying to much. Rick is more ""nihilist"" than ever and instead of making what he says like a parody now they're making his speeches more seriously. What if I don't agree with Rick? It looks like they're forcing you to agree with him in any situation. Moreover the show's plot has no construction, in episode 2 you're dropped right in the middle of an adventure and the only explanation the show give you is : Rick wants a rock, Morty is doing nothing and latter got a power, and Summer is acting edgy because of the divorce.
Morty is the only character I like so far, since they don't give him those stupid "nihilist speeches", instead he's the only one who have a real and absurd adventure in a good way.
At least season 2 was watchable.

>>94520618

>>94520618
It's alright. I'm still waiting for an episode that will blow my mind the same way the ending of Rick Potion no. 9 did.

I'm a little worried that they're gonna trade "wacky adventures with a genius who secretly loves his family" to "depressing drama about a crumbling family with a sociopath who only pretended to care".

That speech at the end of the S3 premiere was troubling.

>>94520618
Everything happens in still happens in Rick's head - especially episode 1. He still didn't left Arby's.

>>94527598
It was a fun episode with some nice action and and that big John Wick reference. Therapy session was interesting. By no means it's a bad episode.

>>94527910
>instead of making what he says like a parody now they're making his speeches more seriously
>first episode culminated in Rick desperately trying to convince Morty that his sole motivation in life is some obscure dipping sauce that Morty is too young to have even heard of
his nihilism is even more of a parody than ever before. its spelled out in big neon letters how insincere his speeches are, that he's flat out lying about how he feels, deeply repressed, and wrong about basically everything. this is a guy who keeps falling for his own irrational belief that everything in the universe can be combined with its thematic opposite to achieve a stable neutral point

>>94521643
not him, but im personally a big fan of post apocalyptia and parallel earths, this did both. i thought it was funny and had a neat little plot, the action/violence was gratuitous but it served a narrative purpose unlike the violence in the third ep, and summer looked hot in her outfit

>>94521643
Morty Arm was a great character this episode.

>>94520618
It's alright, some jokes are good while others not so much. I do dislike the message of nihilism, but that's mostly because I don't understand why nihilist make such a big deal out of it

>>94523913
Morty usually acts as his foil by limiting him. Either in terms of morality or just fucking up.

>>94524218
I honestly thought she was way off the mark and just rambling a bunch of nonsense.

>>94521050
The contrarian meme is only thrown around by diehard fanboys. I loved, LOVED SJ growing up and the first three of season 5, but ultimately the season was disappointing.

I don't enjoy the family drama shit. They shouldn't focus on this "divorce" shit. The whole show's meme is nihilism, and making this epic divorce in just one of these universes a main multi-episode story arc is just killing the show. An episodic show like Rick and Morty should never do this. The divorce should be just one episode. The Mr. Meeseeks thing was great for one episode, imagine if it were a story arc. Pretty fucking awful, right?

Mark my words, if they reuse Mr. Meeseeks, the n33dful Devil, the Moonman cloud, or any other wacky characters from previous episodes, the show is officially dead. I know I'll stop watching the show when that happens.

I think the show has sucked since season 1 ended

He's had better luck with couples therapy.

"I’d been to so many therapists; that’s why I lost faith in them. I’d been to like eight in my lifetime, and none of them were getting under the hood and helping me.

I think that the device of looking at things through the eyes of your relationship with another human being, I think that was the big missing component. I want to stay with this woman forever. That’s something I can understand. It’s harder to go into an office and say “Make me sane. Make me a better person.” How do you know how to start? How do you know when you’re finished? And how do you do that without telling someone to change?"

>>94520738
Best comment in the thread. This is a pretty wordpress response btw.

>>94520817
Yes. It started as a bunch of "high-concept sci-fi rigamarole" and I guess they ran out of high concepts to spoof. Adding a running plot to a series that previously made fun of continuity just seems like an attempt to get viewers without having to do the hard work of writing. Just like South Park, where they added a running plot that would take about 5 minutes to write most of, and the season was less funny because they changed the focus to it.

>>94534523
Great YouTube reply chain you fucks got going on over here.

>>94523696
That wasn't really "half". It was an added bit but those things were only interesting because of the sci-fi stuff they interacted with.

Rick and Morty is and was interesting and engaging for the most part. I do want to keep watching.
However, especially the season, I don't think it's all that special. Rick and Morty just doesn't feel like it has enough well-crafted comedy to make it a "classic" like The Simpsons, Futurama, or South Park in their prime.

>>94536689
ive always considered this and it seems like something they would do.

But it would be horrible. Beyond the whole "it makes the seasons investment worthless",it ends up working like time travel. When R&M first started Dan and Roliand made it clear they would never use time travel as they felt it was the easy way out. Any problems, and character flaws, any anything could be reversed. And the exact same thing will happen if he's still trapped and it's all in his head.

All the growth, all the dumb shit, all the investment will not only be invalidated, but it will feel like a massive waste of time because people weren't satified to start with

>>94523376
I think you're onto something, anon. just think about it.

>>94536733
I think she's also trying to prove to herself that she isn't her parents.

She's kind of realized that they are both just useless and she's afraid she will grow up to be just like them.

I mean, Jerry is a complete loser and needs Beth really to do anything important in his life. He needs to be shat on, which is why he put up with Beth for so many years. He's a coward and a fool, both of which Summer does not want to be.

But then there's Beth who can't rucjing function now without breathing the same air as Rick and has now turned to berating her kids because Jerry left her. Even though she's mildly sucessfulll she can't function without the help of others even though the biggest thing she's gone through is losing her father, which summer is now going through as well.

So while she does it for Rick in some sense and maybe does it to outshine Morty, she also does it to try and prove to herself that she isn't going to turn out to be her Parents.

Miserable beings who rely on others for help.

2 years of adventure and the thing that breaks morty as a human being, causing him to piss his pants on a regular basis, is that his fake not-mother is divorcing his fake not-father. It's impossible to take morty seriously as a character anymore and it's clear the femcunt sjwcucks are trying to force beth and summer into the limelight because 'men suck'. Leftist fucks did the same shit to doctor who until they finally turned the doctor into a god damn woman. Is that where we are heading? A female rick? I wouldn't put it past them.

This, how is there anything emotionally impactful about their divorce? It was already discussed in a previous season plus Morty has already absorbed the loss of his original family.

I have to question the point of building beth and jerry's relationship if they were going to tear it all down in the end.

>>94538346
>pretend Dr. Who fan

>>94539589

>>94527910
Morty's nihilistic speech to Summer when she threatened to run away in Interdimensional Cable is one of the most famous in the show, what the hell are you talking about?

>>94539497
>>94538346
Because Morty is a compasstionate human you brain dead fucks.

Morty isn't like Rick, he chooses to accept that while the current Beth and Jerry aren't his "real" parents, that it doesn't really matter. They jumped into a world nearly identical to their original, so everything that Morty would have went through with his "real" parents who have happend to his "fake" parents. They would have had the same good times, same effort in raising Morty, the same everything. For all intents and purposes, they are his parents.

But beyond that, Morty has lived with his "fake" parents for a pretty great length of time now, he's had his own adventures with them, he's been through tramuas with them, and he's had good times with them. And they treated him like he was their son.

So of course he fucking cares, what person wouldn't?

>Oh and even Rick cares, even though he pretends he doesn't.

>>94540315

No, morty( or summer?) explicitly said in one episode that it does not matter if they get divorced. I think it was rixty minutes.

>for a Rick and Morty Episode
>but still better TV than most other shows on the market

Honestly the season premiere and most recent episode were some of the strongest entries for the show to date. Episode 2 wasn't even that bad.

Not great

Not bad

>>94520618
It's not exactly delivering the same plots that made me enjoy seasons 1 and 2, but it's more than made up for in the characters this season. I really liked Hemorrhage, Armothy, and Jaguar. Justin shows he can pack a lot of character into someone in a short amount of time. Even if it's an actual arm.

>>94540661
Fucking this.

This is the only way to redeem that speech as well as how shit the season has been.

Not to say that it "being all in his head" isn't the obvious move, nor would it be any good, but it would be better than we have now.

I just hope that it pulls like a Shutter Island, were there are tons of clues to hint that he's still dreaming and that what we and Rick are perceiving is false. And slowly as the episodes drag on things get more and more distorted and more questions arise, until Rick storms his figurative lighthouse only to discover he's still in prison and he's still dreaming.

But I have my doubts.

>>94520618
So like the investigator saw Rick's memory of Beth and his wife getting zapped by a portal. How the fuck did he think they died by a grenade from a portal?

This is one plot hole.

>>94541202

and I guess you're saying "There isn't one" so we don't have much to discuss between each other I guess.

>>94542150

It's that Rick being able to dismiss therapy as not being intellectually stimulating doesn't mean it's worthless to him, just like how no one actually enjoys brushing their teeth or gets challenged doing it.

the therapist character is actually the character that /co/ has been asking for, someone who can challenge Rick's position of always knowing better than everyone.

Ya'll stupid motherfuckers ready for the inevitable Telltale Rick and Morty game?

>>94543590
Wouldn't be bad actually.

Lazy and harmful cute rattie stereotypes

>>94543590
The VR ones was decently fun at least

/co/ I just got into a fight with my girlfriend after the Pickle Rick episode because I said it was Rick and Beth's fault the family is dysfunctional and fucked up and she said it was all of their faults.

Episode 1 was meh. 2 was pretty funny. 3 was dumb (the whole "Rick kills a Russian compound as a pick" bit felt a little masturbatory). Overall, a little dissapointing, but it's still early. It's ratio is almost as good as season 5 of samurai jack.

>>94544998
Just go down on her.

>>94543590
I'd enjoy it if it was an actual adventure game. Rick and Morty seems like it would be a perfect setting to make fun of things like combining inventory items.

>>94544998

That their avoidant behaviour adds to the family's problems she said.

PICKLE RICK

>>94549332
It's funny that Pickle Rick was actually the better part of the show.

>>94547383
I think guys are just jealous they couldn't hold a candle to Pickle Rick.

Not off to a good start. Last episode was not good but probably the best one so far this season. I'm hoping the episodes will continue to improve as the season goes.

>>94520618
It's good we're finally getting somewhere. I felt like season 2 was just fucking around in purgatory while the staff figured out what they wanted to do. I also hated the season 3 opener because it was just such a pants shitter. Clearly the team wanted to move things along way fast because they had wasted time meandering around in S2 while they could have been building up a much better story. It ended up not helping the fanbase which then turned into the bottom of the barrel reddit scum who thought "lol XD randum" humor with the occasional nihilism joke is peak humor.

So now we're making up time. I don't mind. I could use a break from random manatee joke plots. Even if the opener was a lazy fart to get rid of plot lines that were going nowhere, I'm glad we're in the thick of just what makes the family so fucked up. I'm also glad to see the family not such Rick off all the time for being a genius. It's nice to see them resent Rick for a change, which Pick Rick did beautifully. It'll be really neat to see where we end up at the end of the season and moving onward. I'm hoping we go straight up dark like Moral Orel towards the end. I would love to see what a show about a dysfunctional family going through a divorce while also having to be a part of Rick's life is going to be like now that they're taking it somewhat seriously.

In all seriousness, your just an idiot. Like I don't even know where to start with you. Of course they aren't real characters, but they are written and animated a certain way to convey feelings and emotions. his point was that even though one summer or Morty said they were fine with a divorce early on, the show is now having them act weird about, to demonstrate that they aren't.

Your argument honestly just sounds like you failed basic grade 9 English, and that your upset that people can infer and understand charter intent while you still struggle as to why Romeo compares Juliet to the fucking sunrise.

I hope we will see that buff cyborg summer from intro

therapist scene was awful, rickmancing the stone wasn't that good. the first episode was great though, hope more eps are like that

>>94539672
Well I forgot to say that, but they almost all do that in the show. It's like they're using other character to vehicle the same message as Rick if you know what I mean. They did the same thing but reversed in the third season with Rick and the therapist. They gave this woman the role of "the character who will give a speech, forcing you to agree with him no matter what" while Rick was having a much better adventure than the therapy scene.

>>94520738
well of course you would have such a tv tropes response.

Episode 1: felt like a season 2 episode
Episode 2: was okay, forgettable but had some fun jokes
Episode 3: terrible. Worse than TINY RICK XD. It was unfunny trash. animation was nice but it was so bad it was unwatchable

>People think this season is the worst.
>Season 1 has Pilot, Anatomy Park, and Rixty Minutes, all awful, terrible, horrible episodes, two of which are the first three episodes and almost made me drop the show entirely.
>Season 2 has Get Schwifty, and Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate, again both are awful episodes.
All three episodes of Season 3 rank higher than the five episodes I just listed, so stop with this fucking meme of "top 5 worst episodes" especially when the show has aired only 24 episodes. Bottom 5, is more than 20% of the series. That isn't exactly a lot to compare to for one thing.

Also, I am quite happy with the new format, most of the old "ha ha jokes" from the previous two season were only funny maybe the first time, definitely not the second time, and required a lot of weed or drinking or both.

>>94520780
the characters don't have consistent drama, the characters are 100% jokes until it's a "serious scene" and then the switch is flipped and suddenly they aren't talking about getting peed on or whatever and start talking about their feelings, even though those feelings are basically nonexistent in the comedic parts of the episode.

the drama is basically family guy tier because of it. nothing has anything lasting consequences and the characters have no depth because they always undercut their development with humor.

Rixty Minutes was hilarious

Guys is this show worth watching?

I see memes about it all over the internet and from what I saw it's just pop philosophy and EDGY jokes.

>>94553672
It's good but the first episode sucks

>>94553681
Where should I start to see if I like it?

>>94553104
It's the third season curse. All modern cartoons seem to suffer from it.

>>94553104
Don't you talk shit on inter dimensional cable!

S1, Rixty Minutes

Thanks

That's not a good sign. She thinks you should blame the kids in a divorce, even when they've literally done nothing and the problem is obvious.

>>94551415
If she looked like this it'd be worth putting up with the new Rick and Morty and Summer.

>>94554912
Sigh, women are worth more than just their looks. This is exactly why Rick and Morty needed those female writers badly. How else are people ever going to let go of their preconceptions.

>>94555005
She doesn't have looks and doesn't have anything else. Looks would at least be something.

>>94520618
The first and third episodes were amazing, the second was mediocre.

What if Rick got in a coma? It's sort of a dumb plot but I wanna see how the family would react
