god damn ROME was such a good show. Why did normies have to like GoT instead? Why should have had 6 seasons of their adventures.

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

I hate it but my engineering friends all love it, so it isn't that they're uneducated.

>There's a universe in which HBO declined the fucking shit show game of thrones and instead renewed Rome for 5 more seasons
>And you don't live in it.
>>81367214
Obviously you are right. Why even bother with a thread?
>>81368221
GUY LOVE
>>81368326
5 seasons is too much. I'd hate for such a perfect show to grow stale.
I want to go to the universe where Rome ended in 3 seasons, and the cast and crew returned for Byzantium set in the reign of Justinian.
>>81367451
GoT came about long after Rome was cancelled.
>>81368426
Lmao how could the cast return for Show set 500 years later?
>>81368442
Do you think shows the size of game of thrones are made in ayear? You can't possibly be that retarded.
I really dig it when Mac and Dennis get along and show each other some lovehaven't seen anything past S5 tho
>>81368486
GoT started development like 2007 or 8, two years after Rome ended and several years after they decided to end it with two seasons.
>>81367321
Close second my brother.
>>81368586
And why do you think that is? Money.
HBO knew they wanted to run GOT and the cost of having both shows would have been astronomical. They chose to go with the fantasy bullshit.
>>81367321
I came to post this.
>>81368326
I have to agree with this anon
>>81368426
There's no reason for Rome to have gone on for 5 seasons with the same cast and the same setting. It'd be the Pax Romana under Augustus. Who wants to watch Rome prospering and doing pretty well without any major power struggles or challenges to Augustus' rule? (inb4 tax policy meme)
If you want that, just read the Res Gestae Divi Augusti.
Now a spinoff/continuation set during the civil wars that led to the rise of Vespasian (The Year of the Four Emperors) and the Flavian Dynasty? That'd be cool. You can recycle actors, mebbe set up Ray Stevenson as Vespasian, other actors in key parts.
Follow that shit with another spinoff/continuation during the reign of Justinian. Cast Kevin McKidd as Justinian and Ray Stevenson as Belisarius.
You could make a long-running and well-loved set of miniseries about Rome, like an expanded version of what they eventually did with Band of Brothers and The Pacific.
>>81368618
I'm just saying GoT wasn't pitched to them before Rome was canceled. Yes it took its place but Rome's cancellation had more to do with HBO and BBC out jewing each other.
Easy.
>>81368553
Fuck the feels
>>81367214
No.
>>81367246
He said bromance not romance.
>>81367321
Why is this show so shit? I could bear about two episodes before dropping it without a second thought. Rome I could rewatch once a year but this show I can not watch for a single time.
Is it because I am a smart adult and this show is purposefully made for teenagers?
>>81367516
They were bonded through combat, they were brothers, deeper than any friendship imaginable and slightly gay.
>>81370631
Nice meme

Came into this thread exclusively to post this
top man
I WIN you can close the thread now
>>81371529
you win in homosexuality, my homo friend
>>81371695
>still a win
>>81370631
You don't even need to be a particularly smart adult to see that.
You don't watch it for the same reasons you watched Rome, you watch it for the blood, tits and rock and roll.
>/tv/
>>81367214
The arena scene where Vorenus saves Pullo was one of the greatest bromance scenes I have ever seen.

>>81367214
Not really /tv/, but yes.
>>81368426
>>81368746
Rome's original plan was actually 5 seasons. 2nd season was meant to end in the death of Brutus, with the 3rd and 4th set in Egypt. 5th was meant to be the rise of the Messiah in Israel.
But then they just rushed it all the way through in season 2 because it was getting cancelled.
>>81371772
>You don't even need to be a particularly smart adult to see that.
I still am, however.
you don't even know what a friendship between men is.
>>81368746
Season 4 was supposed to have ended with the beginning of Pax Romana but they had to rush 3 seasons of material into one.
>>81371954
I was gon post this but then i was like nah Xd
>>81367781
tl;dr is this guy thinks rick and morty is pretty fun
advice to original poster, that is waaaay too much text for us to read okay?
>>81371529
CROCKET!
>>81367214
These two right here.
>>81368221
BIG
BLACKBROS
Really /tv/?
>>81374486
bromance is not the same as being fags, tho
>>81374486
Too much of a power/knowledge imbalance to be a good bromance. Pullo & Lucius perfectly treads the balance of their abilities.
>>81367214
Fuck, gotta marathon Rome for like the 20th time now. I need to stop going to /tv
>>81371954
Wait, they reconciled?
Hap and Leonard are a great team
>>81367214
>>81371823
Way to ruin their memories by creating that faggot picture you idiot.
>>81378439
I didn't make it, asswipe.
>>81367214
>tfw you realize it is the badass ukranian mob boss in dexter, and poor tommy from trainspotting
>>81378470
That is beside the point, you imbecile. Gaius and Aulus will be forever remembered as two cosplaying faggots. Thanks for the image!
>>81378569
You're overthinking it bruh.
>>81373005
I was going to post this
Electrifying when they're both on screen
>>81367214
>>81367214
maybe not as good, but since nobody posted it.
>>81368618
Rome was cancelled because of money but it was nothing to do with GoT
Before they retconned Alaric alive after his show got cancelled.
>>81381255
Ehh, Jimmy was using Richard as muscle and Richard would've dicked Angela the first chance he got. She was his motive for vengeance, not Jimmy.
>>81375235
this, they offset eachother perfectly.
also bromance isn't gay and what you posted is literally gay fanfiction
>>81381334
Ian got along better with Wesley on screen and off better, they just happened to be cast as brothers and what is it with CW and brothers.
Both sets of brothers being casted by WB.

You have to go back.

it's honestly better this way, I couldn't deal with show being ruined turned into a christfag powerhour
>>81371989
STOP RAPING MY GAPING ASSHOLE HBO
>>81367516
So which one is the bottom?
>>81384215
Neither.
>>81370631
No, it's because you're a dumb adult whose trying to make it something its not and not admiring it for the amazing work that it is.
>>81383708
I always thought it was gonna focus on a random messianic movement before Jesus came along. Made sense considering the time period.
