Oh wow. Someone actually beat me to it. The show is fine but it wasn't what it was originally. The concept was a drunk scientist fucking around with his grandson. Now the series had became it own thing with it own lore and it own universe where literally anything is fucking possible. Fuck science, Rick may as well be a fucking wizard at this point. The series could be about magic now and it wouldn't make any difference. The episode with the Devil was funny and was a reference to Twilight Zone type stuff so I'll give that a pass but the rest of the series that wasn't about a scientist is boring. The perfect wizard Rick ruined the show. The old jaded scientist that made mistakes, got scared and didn't in fact know everything about literally everything was much more entertaining and what I sign up for.

>4chan hates 4chan: The Character

Imagine that

>>94877343
I finished season 1 so far, and the humour is a bit weak. On the other hand the characters and stories are pretty good.

>>94877343
Overrated

It subverted expectations laid down by the 2nd season finale, which, I'd argue was some of the best TV ever.

That alone isn't enough to damn it. It could still have gone somewhere interesting. The issue is that it subverted the expectation set up seemingly for the sake of subversion and hasn't done anything interesting since.

If destroying the Galactic Federation was so easy for God Emperor Rick., why didn't he do it earlier? Why was Birdperson so adamant on Rick being a decent guy if Rick never had a shred of goodness? The newest season and the whole Invincible Rick thing flies in the face of the last two seasons, but it does so seemingly just to say it can without an interesting plan or plot.

And the whole Vindicators episode could've been a lot more interesting than it was.

>>94877834
at least 4chinners know the feel of being defeated.
Rick doesn't, and this is what makes him so unenjoyable as a character.

>only weakness is himself because he's the one thing he can't fix

This may sound interesting but it really isn't

>>94877343

Extremely one note, you get the point well before season 1 ends and they aren't really changing anything up.

This can be done well, i.e. American Dad, but R&M's execution is stale to me.

This episode annoyed me more than any other because I was having a great time watching it. I think I just dislike Rick as a character now. I'm not sure what's changed, but I think something fundamental about him has just been fucked to death. I'd have probably been a little happier with the episode if the ending was actually about Morty, but no, it's just Rick being a dick again. That ol' Rick is an unbreakable dick joke is getting old.

>>94877967
I hate retards like you.

>>94878009
I think it would've been interesting if the Vindicators WERE straight up heroes instead of posturing dicks.

Rick sets up his little Saw thing to try and prove how horrible they are, but nope, he's just a cunt.

>>94877343
>Assuming it would be hard
They hit their stride early and now know they can pretty much show whatever and make the same paycheck as if they tried, like what Family Guy figured out.

The first season set up something nice, the second season felt like more of the same, now the crux of the third season is "darker and edgier". A premise that does not work unless you are a teenage whiner.

They fired most of their staff for cheaper "diverse" replacements since the originals wanted union rights.

Dan Harmon.

There, 4 reasons.

>>94877343
It's a gouda show

>>94878009
Rick still suggested that the ride was about Morty, and he wouldn't have if his basic understanding about himself didn't include some level of caring for his family, even if fucked up.
Turns out Morty was right, yeah, but that ultimately doesn't matter, Rick still got drunk because he was jealous of the Vindicators

>>94877343
It got too popular and this board is infested with /tv/

What the fuck was up with the season 1 finale? It was unfunny, cringy and bad for the most part. It has to be one of the worst season finales I have ever seen of all shows I've ever watched.

Oh, one more. Stupid people can't write smart characters, and you can bet your ass the writing staff is stupid. They wouldn't be working on a comedy show if they were smart.

Most episodes of S1 and S2 had genuinely interesting gadget or sci fi concept. Driving force of the plot line was alcoholic inventor throwing goodies at people who were just not ready and sub plot of said drunk jaded scientist regaining his humanity through family. The substance of the show itself might have been just usual mondomedia style 'lol so random' but the execution and voice acting exceeded most of its contemporary kind and that was the reason why I enjoyed it. There were lots of fucked up scenes but you could always shrug it off with 'tis show is nothing more than scientific nihilism'.

But now as >>94877534 mentioned the show degraded to personality fuckfest. It's not sci fi but sci fi themed family guy with cancerous fan base that unironically idolize Rick.

I really hope galactic federation has different branches in different universes and they reemerge as threat factor. Rick's history just might be the last hope this show has for now but I know edginess will sell better for majority of the viewership.

Don't hate it, but the darker and cynical season three is making it hard for me to like it as much as the first two.

>>94877967

People wouldn't have such a hateboner for it if it wasn't popular. Not saying that everyone would like it if it wasn't but people wouldn't flood this board with hundreds of threads/day because we have yet to have another discussion about the lazy, messy writing.

>>94877343
They can't get their characters development right within their own time-lines even when they have time travel/alternative universes to fix it with the classic cheat of In Medias Res. And that is just sad.

Also not a fan of the art style, but it would be wrong of me to drop it just for that.

>>94877716
Thing is people can't handle sudo-continuity very well.
And anyone who tries to do things episodic gets boxed in as fans build their own lore.
On the other hand anyone who tries to build a arc longer then a few episodes or 2 hours seems to be shot down for not getting to the action/too slow and boring.

This is why most of my favorite things are creative one shots, or start getting shows AFTER the novels are done.

I blame everyone for demanding too much too fast. You want a deep rich world, slow down and build it right. You want fast action, start with a shoot out in an airport or something and go from there.

But nooo, we must over use tropes and flashy cultural references so we can compress the information to try and do both. Then act like the compressed processed from is completely original.

But I'm pointing out that R&M fans cling on to the idea that it's purely contrarianism and spite like their lives depend on it.

>>94877343
The writing has declined and the characters, rather than progressing or developing have become over-exaggerated or acting out of character even for them. The humour has shifted to a more generic focus and feels stale. The dynamic between characters is feeling uneven and there's nothing really coming from it.

I don't hate the show, I actually like it, the show is decent and hits my humor and sometimes makes me think with its absurd shit.

But I hate the fanbase to death and also the promotional material. The show is basically Justin shitposting and Harmon hack writing and they're treating it like the new pinacle of phylosophy. I even unsubscribed to all the youtube channels who tried to do analysis of the show. It's absurd the amount of retards that think that this stuff has any deep meaning.

For 4chan, I call this the "smart kid" status, you hate the smart kid for succeeding, all the people who don't hate him, suck his dick because they think he's brilliant and has great future. The kid himself is aware he's shit and just wants to play videogames.

I don't know about /co/, and I don't speak for /co/, but the first episode alone was a massive turn-off. It was everything I dislike about Family Guy rolled into a single show that felt like a cross between Futurama and South Park without the intelligent writing of either. Crude for the sake of crude "comedy", repeating things over and over and over and over and over, godawful artwork and annoying voices.

Because it's a show in which there are no limitations to what its main character can do, and that lack of limitations has entirely destroyed any sense of urgency and emotional investment that any viewer could ever make.

Rick's characterization has seeped through into the writing itself, with the staff never missing an opportunity to flip any and every situation on its head to seem 'adult', and 'realistic', and 'harsh'. The 'harsh' reality is that the absence of any dramatic tension makes it impossible to continue giving a shit. Rick sees his entire supporting cast as irrelevant and even outright disposable due to the nature of a show that has an entire multiverse just a handwave away, and no attempt is made to bind them to him by circumstance. If all of the characters surrounding him are replaceable, why should we care about them, or any of their problems? It stinks of its own insistence that nothing is worth giving a shit about other than temporary adrenaline rushes, and there's no real break from it.

The newest Vindicators episode really drove this all home for me. A cramped shitfest trying to be """deep""" about how superheroes can be bad behind the curtains, but the main character just floats along in the background quipping and being genuinely terrible, which makes for an ugly contrast of drawn out melodrama and a constant reminder that said melodrama is entirely unimportant. Because for some reason the show needs to mock those angsty themes, despite relying on them itself.

Rick and Morty is a show about a family of legitimately terrible people, and that alone doesn't disqualify it from the possibility of being good. But if the setting is illusory to the main character, the audience will feel that way about it, too. There are no real forces of nature, no boundaries keeping Rick back, no emotional investment of note to empathize with him over. Every episode is a thirty minute demonstration that nothing matters, including the show itself.

It just dawned on me after watching 'The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy' that Rick is an antisemite.

The blatant first clue, of course, was in 'Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender' where the answer to the question in Rick's second torture room was Israel, a place where to fight darkness is to fight yourself. In other words, Rick was saying that people have to red pill themselves and acknowledge the Zionist Occupation Government conspiracy that is literally occurring before your very eyes.

Next was the speech Rick gave Jerry on how he destroyed his daughter's life. How Jerry uses pity to get people to feel sorry for him or just the Jews use the Holocaust and their so-called persecution they experience to guilt people into feeling sorry for them. Jerry is the perfect analog for Jew. Think about it. Both Jerry and Jew start with Je. However, the -rry in Jerry's name can sound like 'we' which has a w sound so if we put them together we have Je-we or better yet 'Jew'. So Rick is pissed that the Jew screwed his daughter, Beth, out of a great future. Pissed that the Jew polluted his lineage with inferior Jew genes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqjFzP1NW0Y


Of course, Rick doesn't give two shits about the Jew's half-breed kids and probably wanted nothing to do with them. However, Rick, being the smart man he is, realized that if left alone the Jew would teach his kids the Jew ways and it continues the long vicious cycle of Jew self-pity. So he takes it upon himself to take Morty, a popular Jewish name, and toughen him, pass on his world views, teach him how not to be a Jew and in the end that's how he will beat the Jews. Rick will break the chain of Jewish lies and ensure a better tomorrow by making sure that the ways of the Jew is not passed on.

Its like they have three writers. A person who writes the jokes and funny bits, a person who comes up with all the sci-fi ideas, and an edgy 15 year old who really REALLY wants everyone to know how pointless life and the world is.
It has funny moments, and it can be entertaining. And then the funny and entertainment comes to a screeching halt so Rick can be a piece of shit to someone for no good reason. Or so Morty can get raped. Or so someone can OD on drugs in explicit detail.

its the cartoon equivalent to being a goth/emo kid who cuts himself and reads Nietzsche and Machiavelli.

Rick and Morty's downfall is whenever it tries to be more than a wacky clever sci-fi comedy with hints of action sprinkled throughout. When it tries to get all dramatic and philosophical, it falls short real fucking quick.

The creators themselves aren't very deep thinking or philosophical, so they shouldn't try to make their show to be.

It's not the worst show ever made. The show just relies on a lot of shock humor, and basically crutches the whole show on shock. It's genius in the aspect of how it can capture the audience on the first viewing. That's why the fan base is vehemently vocal whenever an episode airs.

The flip side to that is there isn't as much punch on the second viewing. Even less during the next. If a joke didn't land with a viewer the first watch, it probably will never land. The fact that the show builds its foundation around being unpredictable means that once everything can be predicted, the show has little to no value beyond that first viewing. It's a cheap laugh. A very well constructed cheap laugh, but nonetheless no rewatchability.

Since recently people on /co/ have been comparing these two shows for whatever reason, take a look at Xavier Renegade Angel. It also relies on shocking, wacky, unpredictable events for humor. The difference is it weaves the events and humor fully into the experience of the show. It is a genuinely entertaining show, it has a lot to offer with absurd imagery and clever wordplay and jokes. It doesn't feel the need to comment on itself and instead leaves the viewer to form an opinion. Because of this, the viewer could feasibly have a different experience each time the rewatch an episode. Rick and Morty lacks this. Each scene is designed to make you feel a specific way, and spoon feeds the humor and writing into the viewer.

So really, not the worst show ever. But not as great as a lot of the fans claim it to be. Just a cheap joke. Worth as much as that. You think /co/ hates it because right now the vocal haters are outtalking the people who like the show or don't give a shit. Lurk, look past the shitposting. There is the truth.

People who supported Bernie Sanders like it

That being said I like the show. I put somewhere between Future/American Dad and Family Guy. More clever than FG, less interesting than Futurama or AD

You mean 4chan?

Examples of "ourguy" being a nasty shithead were funny when we were just trolling but now half of everyone here is clearly a violent ass for real.

/co/ liked it 6 months ago, so now /co/ hates it.

>>94883324
This is the only correct answer.

>>94880409
go away /pol/

It used to be funny but now it's not. I blame women. Nah, just kidding. I blame the fact that it was made a 4channer who (being redundant here) fears success and crumbles under pressure, completely losing creative presence and seeding internal conflict, leaving a directionless team of newly-hired writers left asking themselves "what did people like about the previous seasons" and getting it wrong.

>>94877926
This is one of the biggest faults honestly. Ok so apparently, the galactic federation's currency's worth can be lowered from 1 of itself to none of itself just by changing a button on a computer.
So this raises a few questions
>Why the fuck would they design it like that
>Couldn't someone just go in there and change it back?
>If Rick supposedly knew where this was and had plans to do this for a while, why couldn't he just portal in and do it whenever? Like wasn't he fighting the federation for fucking years? Why would he waste all that time if he knew he could cripple them this easily
>If he knew how to do that, why wouldn't he just do it after the wedding?
And then in the newest episode they have the thing that makes Rick stupid which raises even more questions like
>why wouldn't the Federation use this seemingly basic tech to sedate Rick and then force him to give up the formula?
You see these kind of shit could be forgiven if it was a show like ATHF or Frisky Dingo where it doesn't really matter and comedy is king, but in a show that supposedly has such a dramatic undertone in an episode that's supposed to be a big finale thing, the fact they fucked it up so hard with such glaring flaws is just terrible.

>>94883055
>The show just relies on a lot of shock humor, and basically crutches the whole show on shock.

Agreed, but by that criteria /co/ should love it more than ever, not be sick of it.

You might have come from bizzaro /co/ or /tv/ but if my memory did not fail me R&M was always hushed topic on /co/. Literally nobody called Rick 'ourguy' or admitted they were watching R&M openly. Some anons tried to open up discussions but it never got real traction we have right now. The best sentiment he earned was from season two's finale when he voluntarily turned himself into galactic federation, people was starting to accept Rick as more relatable chracter and S3's expectation was sky high....

but NOPE! we never needed character maturing we needed PICKLE RICK!

so this wasn't canon? I thought Fed already had technology to travel through different universes(timelines) but then again on pilot episode Rick mentioned he visited 'Future' via his portal gun so I honestly don't know what is happening anymore.

>>94883762
That portal is normal teleportation. They made the distinction through visuals in the season 3 premier that green portals are inter-dimensional and the blue ones are just normal teleportation.

>>94883793
Funny how I missed that. I just assumed they were teleporting from 35-C to C-137.

The artstyle is horrible, it has awful pacing, the voice acting is really bad (at least from roiland), and the writing is boring and BBT tier

Its not creative anymore.
The new season has been one episode about a space jailbreak, 3 parodies of movies (mad max,john whick and SAW), and one buddy cop chase episode that had one creative location, which is discarded in the third act, and doesnt lend to any creative pieces.

Creativity is why i was a fan of this show. Episodes like the characters being multiplied by 4 different timelines. Episodes like having memories of people you never met. Episodes like having Rick have a massive orgy with a whole planet. Episodes like finding out Ricks ship is powered by a micro universe that is creating a micro micro unvierse.

There is nothing creative anymore. No interesting pieces, no clever use of concepts or writing. Its just dumb boring stories about divorce,awful people, and unoriginal adventures. There has been only one rick and morty adventure and we are allready halfway trought the season. And this isnt gonna change considering next episode is them taking a break, which his hilarious considering we havent seen them do shit the whole season.

This is what happens when you let your personal life get in the middle of your work. Dan Harmond´s divorce absolutely changed the narrative and perspective this show had. Hiring new writers who had a bad background made things even worse.

The only good thing i can say about this show is that the animation is still nice.

Shit writing, unlikable characters, mary sue, harmon. I could go on but you just took out three other dimensions to the show here

I can't speak for /co/, but I hate Rick and Morty because Rick is just such an unpleasant character, and he never gets shit for it - in fact, he just gets praise. He's even worse than Peggy Hill in the later seasons of KotH, in my opinion.

I hate "science" shows that show scientists as these magical beings that are both able to create anything they want, and at the same time refuse to accept failure. It's the same problem The Big Bang Theory has. And people wear t-shirts with "SCIENCE" written on it inspired by that type of shit.

In many ways, my hatred for Rick and Morty is a reflection of my hatred for those people, because I used to be one of those people. And I'm pretty sure that if Rick and Morty had come out 20 years earlier, I'd be their number one fan.

Rick ALWAYS has to be right, always has to win, always has to survive even while everyone else dies or gets turned into a Cronenberg. He's a sciencey Mary Sue, as far as I'm concerned, which is the most annoying type of Mary Sue.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

>>94886183

That's sort of the point, Rick is pretty much the worst human being to ever exist, and he gets off scot free, it's supposed to be irritating, but he's stuck in his daughter's garage with his retarded son and her retarded husband being hunted down by virtually everyone and effectively being a pariah because of his behavior

One word, EXPECTATIONS. That's literally it. Exacerbated by 2 things:

1) HIATUS

The long long hiatus raises expectations to an impossible pitch and then people turn into frothing rage machines when the show comes out and it's imperfect. NEWSFLASH: it was always imperfect

2)POPULARITY

Now that there's ads for R&M everywhere, shirts at ComicCon, a show where they discuss it after, etc etc, this raises expectations even higher. "It better be AMAZING if they're gonna promote it that damn much!"


Truth is, if there was no hiatus and no overblown hype, we'd still think it was /ourshow/. Something weird and experimental and fun and dumb. But the bigger stage and brighter spotlights mean we need it to be everything or we'll hate it. We destroy everything we love amigos

>>94886264

So the show is supposed to be irritating, but we're still watching it? I think it just got too irritating to me. Sure, he's in a bad place with his family and people chasing him, but the thing is, he doesn't mind... so it's as if he has nothing wrong going for him. He's still always right, he still never get what he deserves, and he keeps getting worse with every episode (as far as I know, at least, I stopped watching).

I can't really think of any character who's a bigger "Jerk Sue" than he is, and sorry for using TVTropes speak, but he just fits the term to a T. What I don't understand is why I should watch a show about a character who's so unlikeable and unrelateable, a character that, to me, seems to have been created solely so the author can imagine himself being Rick.

I don't hate it, but season 3 has just been Rick badassing over everyone while being completely unchallenged. I hope that changes because it's kind of boring.

/co/ demands to be impressed because the extended wait between seasons built hype. Also more "normies" like this show than ever and that makes it less special to all of us I guess.

Anyway, it's proven Harmon can't make it past a second season and still maintain a quality product. I don't know why all you fucks are acting so shocked.

She cut to the heart of why he's unwilling to solve his unhealthy destructive habits, and I got the sense thathe understtod that, which is why he had no comeback. But yeah, in the end, he went right back to those habits, with Beth following after him.

I liked her part of the episode, but Rick and the rest of the family not responding to her analysis (and the numerous gags about her rehabilitating people who eat shit) made me think I wasn't supposed to take her seriously. I didn't get the impression the therapist challenged him at all. It didn't have an impact on Rick or the rest of the family from what I could tell. It just reinforced the fact that Beth is a slave to Rick's approval, which we already knew. The beginning of the episode lead me to believe it would be about Rick's stupid plan humbling him in some way, but it became Rick being an infallible badass, even in pickle form.

Rick seems invincible now and that bums me out. There wasn't an arc leading up to him being an infallible character, so it feels unearned. The earth gets taken over by the federation so he moves the family to a tiny planet to lay low. Then he gets himself captured, escapes, wrecks the federation and citadel and gets Beth to divorce Jerry with little effort.

Two seasons ago we had an episode that ended with him escaping a hologram like a badass but still not knowing if his world was a simulation. He turned his planet into Cronenburgs on accident and had to resort to hitting a cosmic reset button. He was badass but still imperfect. Doesn't feel that way anymore.

Anyway, I'm holding out that this season is more than Rick killing shit with a big animation budget and never ever appearing vulnerable but we'll see how it goes.

>>94888593
Usually R&M criticism in /co/ tends to be bullshit, but for the first time I can actually finally see your point, I still think we haven't seen enough of season 3 to make that kind of judgement but honestly thank you for being one of the only reasonable people that criticizes without shitting on it, great analysis

Didn't Roiland and Harmon say they would never write an origin story for Rick? No doubt because they aren't smart enough to come up with a decent backstory for a character who can do anything.

>>94877343
>pickle
There. That's my reason.

>>94877343
I stopped watching because Rick got too mean. The show became boring exploring this drunk sociopath. Like I don't even care if season 3 "deconstructs" him or whatever. The show lost all stakes for me when it just became all about assholes.

Like, remember that episode early in season 1 where Rick not only executes that dude for trying to molest Morty but makes sure Morty leaves thinking he had a positive effect and that his adventure was worthwile? Can you imagine Rick doing that now?

>>94888593

my hope is they are building him up for a fall, so long as that happens it'll all feel ok that hes doing so good right now.

as it is though, hes way too insanely powerful this season. rick doing all that stuff while black out drunk, while funny, also points out just how untouchable rick is lately even at his lowest point.

a season back and hes having issue dealing with things like the miniverse and the purge, those episodes made it feel like rick had to try a bit to get out of situations that weren't nearly as difficult as say taking down the council of ricks and the federation or the vindicators arch enemy while basically unconscious.

again im just waiting for it all to come crashing down on him.

>>94889741
I mean, he brought Jerry, the man he can't stand the most, on an adventure, because he thought Morty was sad/worried, so honestly yes I can.

>>94877343
as a fan from season one i'm extremely disappointed with the new episodes. the writing tanked really hard. there's nothing about any of the new plots that feels mind blowing. they're not even doing any twists anymore. the pacing of each episode is way worse in that climactic parts (the parts where the animation gets good for a bit) feel rushed (in 305 the wormhole was the big thing and it was over in a few seconds)
the voice acting sounds way less genuine
theres now only about one actually funny part per episode, if that, that manages to bring in the big laughs (304 where the tunnel was for noob noob instead of morty, 305 where ricks big cybernetic arm is just a suction cup launcher)
the dialogue is a cringefest now more than ever
they act like they're the first people to come up with nihilism, but they're interpretation of it is the most basic, highschooler-that-just-read-the-stranger-and-watched-fight-club-for-the-first-time tier of it.

Basically, due to various reasons, the episodes have gotten worse. Writers just can't seem to trap lightning in a bottle anymore. Adding new writers to Rick and Morty was a huge mistake, because they clearly couldn't capture anything either. Being women certainly didn't do them any favors, but neither would them being men. The show has gone to shit, everyone on /co/ will still watch it. Some will enjoy the new episodes, and some will hold on to their memories of how it used to be good.

IM fairily certain they only create continuity to make fun of those of us who like that in shows, so ending season one on a " crazy party" right after a surprisingly compelling cliffhanger was there way of showing they'll always ride the line on how important stuff previously established should be considered. Though ending season two with the mr. Poopybutthole button is what pushed me into being more annoyed with the show than liking it, "it's gonna take us a year and a half to deal with this story!" Preceed to wrap up two seasons worth of story with "I got caught on purpose bitch!" To sum up my complaints if you spend half of your show lambasting cliches don't be surprised when people call you out for using them

Back during seasons 1 and 2, you genuinely had no idea what to expect from the next episode. Before season 3 even started, everybody knew there was gonna be an episode where Rick turned himself into a pickle and killed a bunch of rats. The show hasn't gotten worse, it's just that the element of surprise that was so integral to its formula is now gone. Hopefully, as we move towards episodes we know less about, things will get more amusing.

This

Obviously Rick is Harmons fragile ego after his divorce and Jerry is his beta masochistic side that his wife left him over in the first place. Dan Harmon is the problem at this point. Rick and Jerry are literally his self-inserts and that is why they've been played to the extreme. Because the man is fucking unhealthy

Here's one reason I hate it.

One minute it's trying to be deep and pretentious, the second it would be surreal and stupid (Poopy Butthole's name is proof)

What doth life?

>>94878781

This is me. Literally me. No other character can come close to relating to me like this. There is no way you can convince me this is not me. This character could not possibly be anymore me. It’s me, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If anyone approached me on the topic of this not possibly being me, then I immediately shut them down with overwhelming evidence that this character is me. This character is me, it is indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that this character is not me is beyond me. If you held two pictures of me and this character side by side, you’d see no difference. I can safely look at this character every day and say “Yup, that’s me”. I can practically see this character every time I look at myself in the mirror. I go outside and people stop me to comment how similar I look and act to this character. I chuckle softly as I’m assured everyday this character is me in every way. I can smile each time I get out of bed every morning knowing that I’ve found my identity with this character and I know my place in this world. It’s really quite funny how similar this character is to me, it’s almost like we’re identical twins. When I first saw this character, I had an existential crisis. What if this character was the real me and I was the fictional being. What if this character actual became aware of my existence? Did this character have the ability to become self aware itself?

>>94877343

What started as an episodic deconstruction of sci-fi adventures with some dark undertones and set pieces became a character driven dramady.

The divorce plotline that's consuming the current season is a perfect example of this. Just more retreads of characters calling Jerry pathetic and Beth exemplifying her terrible parenting while Rick's hand in their divorce is swept under the rug. Even the episode ABOUT IT turns the blame on Jerry and has him promise not to bring it up.

I'm so glad that R&M tanking is unexpectedly bringing more attention to Xavier. What a gem that show is, does the joke-a-second thing right.

I enjoy the show when it's at its most creative. When Rick goes from poking the cockroach brain with his tongue for movement to making a whole mechsuit based on that concept, or they play the "Roy" sim game that condenses a lifetime into a few seconds, i find my mind blown for a few minutes.

>>94877343
Basically it was "the coolest, funniest shit ever" when it came outbut now/co/'s assblasted because loads of people happen to like it. See >>94877408 etc, by season two they were probably declaring it the best post-2000's cartoon ever...suddenly, popularity looms, "It was always fucking shitty stoner humour, unfunny and egregiously animated". You contrarian fucks shoud pretty much neck yourelf, or at least make a few really deep (horizontal) "cry for help" cuts on your arms.
Tl;dr: WAAHHH I LOVED IT AT THE BEGINNING NOW ALL THE NORMIES LIKE IT, THEREFORE I MUST DESPISE IT".

Dude, season 3 sucks, that's the only reason.

>>94877343
Nihilistic humour (a la Bojack Horseman, Bobs Burgers-esque and other Nu-Adult Swim type shows)

"Naturalistic dialogue" aka annoying stuttering and burping

Attempts to be artful with a flat and generic art style

Rip off of Back to the Future and Futurama

Subtly pushing social and political norms (as Harmon would want)

It's not going anywhere

Female writers (if a man can't direct Wonder Woman then a woman can't write for a male character)

>>94904409
4chan hipsters think that because they complain about hipsters so much, they could not possibly be hipsters even when they obviously are. It's much like SJW who think they aren't racist or /pol/tards who think they aren't hyper emotional.

It got popular. And people gave it a sense of self-importance it didn't deserve or probably won't. This caused a backlash. And places like /co/ love being in the backlash. It's all they know.

>>94877408
This, or it tries to be pretentious.

Every fucking day there's some goofy ass new theory or some shit that's way more complicated than it is or needs to be.

In what sense is Bob's Burgers nihlistic? I can hardly think of an animated sitcom that's more reaffirming and comfy

>>94885732
Agreed. It feels like since it got extremely popular, they decided to stall that plot and milk it as much as possible. Now the series is stuck in this comedy/family crisis mode with no true development.

>>94892701
And of course the mere mention of /a/ won't drive /co/ into a shrill autistic shitfest, right?

>>94877534
Try to get through a sentence without humiliating yourself through the act of casual swearing, wretch.

>>94907668
I personally blame /tv/ for their influence with reactionary contrarianism. Notice that company wars threads were multiplying after kinoposting started.

>>94907755
anon, you have no idea how much that stings.

>>94906079
What, back when we had fuck instead of shitting our pants when blacks, women, and normies start engaging in something that was never exclusively for us to begin with?

Because that feels like a decade ago at this point.

>>94877716
Gravity Falls had its plot set from the start, how retarded can you be?

>>94893694
People thought it was going to be like "Tiny Rick" with Rick screaming "I'M PICKLE RIIIIICK" the whole episode and prepared to meme the fuck out of that, but kept the joke going for the people who refused to watch the episode thinking that that's what was going to happen.

>>94877834
Well I hate myself and everyone here, your point is?

>>94877343
It's a reddit meme with women.

Also, all of 4chan would be sucking this show's dick if normies hated it. Literally the only reason it gets shit is muh contrarianism.

>>94877408
>Pretentious stoner shit.
He said you can't use Reddit

>>94907799
Not Bob's Burgers per se, but its style of humour is often used to coat some nihilistic or existentialist sentiments.

I've noticed the "life is meaningless" meme being pushed by big hollywood lately, and in pop-sci it's "we're living in a simulation" *urrp*

Dumb shit for people who think they're smart with an *burp* annoying talking ma*BURRRP*main character.

I remember when the first season was airing some friends showed me it, I thought it had it's moments but that's about it. I remember thinking the dog episode being funny.

Meanwhile any time a new episode aired it's all anyone would talk about. I'm like, jesus, the show must've gotten a lot better. But it only disappointed from there on out, after giving it multiple chances. And since people wouldn't shut the fuck up about it, it just made me resent it. It's like goofy relatives talking about how funny Family Guy is, only it's your friends who you thought had some semblance of taste.

I dunno, maybe the world is so fucked up lately that people just need some really, really, REALLY dumb shit to attach to. Can't blame anyone for that I suppose.

>>94897350
Wait... Hang on... Are you trying to say, that jokes about eating shit, having a character named mr poopybutthole, repeating the same nihilistic remark isn't that deep or funny?

Huh, thought that was obvious

>>94877343
NO NUDE SUMMER

>>94877343
Went from drunk scientist and his boy ward to seeing which writer could outdo themselves in sucking Rick's dick, to the point where most of the characters don't even feel like themselves anymore and it can't be called character development because its all sporadic. Also, no jokes. All the jokes are gone and they've resorted to a lot of improv, which gets kind of old when more than half of your characters are all played by one guy.

Who thought giving the most underdeveloped character of the Smith family screentime was a good idea? Seriously, describe Beth without calling her a horse surgeon, a bitch or a drunk.

>>94894447
There's also the problem that women have a moderating effect on men, and men are less likely to tell a woman her ideas are shit.

So, with the two combined, mediocre ideas will become more prominent, and the number of bad ideas that get through will go up.

>>94894554
If you combine Whirlydirly and the Vindicators, you'd have one(1) quality rick and morty adventure.

Precisely. It's popular with "teh normies" now so the hivemind HAS to hate it

>>94904409
Oh, I know I'm a (comic) hipster, you should see me collection, just FULL of small press pretentious hipster garbage. In fact I'm such a hipster I think Fantagraphics and Drawn & Quarterly are mainstream

The writers often think they are smarter then they really are, taking whole episodes to explain a point that is either very obvious but made to seem deep or incredibly oversimplified and made to seem like it should be obvious to figure out from the start.

Also it's shit

>>94879560
