Rick and Morty was designed with an archetypal demographic in mind, pseudo intellectual cartoon watching stoners. XRA was about deconstructing that demograph.

No, XRA was going after spiritualism and New Age movements and (unlike Rick and Morty despite what /tv/tards say) actually goes after religion and politics several times and generally adopts a nihilistic worldview. The actual nihilism, not the existential nihilism people so often focus on (and scream and make strawmen over).

Stop being a brainlet and trying to connect the two things. You're probably a faggot who heard of XRA only after the newest R&M season came out and watched one or two videos on the messages the show has to offer.
>>
The only people that like (well, mostly pretend to like) this show are annoying fucking contrarians that felt the urge to find a show that they can wave around like they deserve a fucking medal whenever rick and morty is mentioned anywhere.
>hurrrrrr you fags watch rick and morty,? LMAO FUGGIN CHILDREN. watch a REaL show like xra

The humor is shit, voice acting is shit, and the animation looms like it was rendered on a ps2

You're giving Rick & Morty too much credit if you think their wordplay is even near on par with Xavier.

>>87369406
What dis the ending to this show mean? Was Xavier really just a human who imagined everything from an inkblot? Was he a normal guy living in a world full of twisted bird things and going insane? Was he actually an angel that God or that weird silvery dude threw out as shown in the first episode? What happened to all the parallel Xaviers?

I know I'm trying to make too much sense of this show but I'm just curious if there are any actual answers.
>>
>>87370807
I was really wondering where that was going, the evolution of the plot in an episode is astounding. I liked in the first episode early on where the camera pans around xaviers head while he's saying he might end up helping the people being dicks to him as a truck goes by in the background with "foreshadowing" written on the side

that, and a lot of other problems. there's a lot of solid moments, but none of it feels as funny as season 1.
then again, i laughed at the "are you prepared for this moment" joke in episode 2, so maybe my humor is just shit.

no concrete answers, but the show is mostly about the experiences of a new-age spiritualist with unresolved issued told in a very symbolic and surreal way. the ending just makes it obvious. or perhaps the show is only falsely interpreted that way and the makes wanted to confirm the misconception for an extra layer of meta-humor. however I think most of the divine stuff have to do with how xavier has through a shallow understanding of spiritualism made himself godlike in his own image, and the parallel xaviers were a way to represent the many ways he (and through him white spiritualists) could've ended up had it not been for nurtural traumas.

>>87372982
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Xavier :Renegade Angel. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of shamanism most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Xaviers's spiritualistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Mircea Eliade's literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE-life-life. As a consequence people who dislike Xavier: Renegade Angel truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Xaviers shamanisticial catchphrase "Frutatta," which itself is a cryptic reference to the Spanish egg dish. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Vernon Chapman's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have an Xavier: Renegade Angel tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

'Pseudo intellectual' implies that they present themselves as intellectuals in some way, while being anything but.

I'd say that Rick and Morty's target audience is just as likely to be too stoned to bother with making or defending any such claim.

Yeah I'd say it's about 50/50

The first group is, as you say, grasping self-impressed wankers. Pseudo-intellectuals.

The other half is probably intelligent, relatively well-read and curious, but self-reflective enough to know that they're lazy apathetic dilettantes, and wouldn't try to present themselves as anything but that.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor 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 fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial 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 unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

I enjoy both xra and rick and morty. Come at me

Btw every person on the internet who makes a point of saying how much they love xra sounds like a fucking 17 yrold faggot

Come at me this time with feeling

you're right, you sound like a 17 year old faggot

XRA is probably enjoyed best if you actually have proper experience with like, hippies, new age, anarchist, artfag hipster, punk subcultures.
Much of the show is clearly jaded, cynical satire from people who actually have been a part of those subcultures. Seriously the show could easily be renamed "Lol fucking Burners" to make it blatantly obvious but whatever

If you don't really have experience with such subcultures, the show probably doesn't make any fucking sense at all.

It's no coincidence the creators of the show are all members of art collectives, burning man and shit like that.

The show's creators called it a show that portrays the dangers of spirituality.

How do you describe it? Xra despite its weirdness feels more natural ironically. Like the writers had an idea and just wrote it so everything flows.

R&M doesn't feel as natural. Like it's pretty obvious they are writing to appeal to specific audiences.
>>
>>87379891
>>87380049
Because even with XRA's obvious focus on trippy visuals and absurd plots it feels like it has an idea behind it and the humor, while R&M feels much more random for random's sake and trying to appeal to the YA demographic.

>R&M: lol imma stick ur opinions waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ur butthole morty

>XRA: And that is the Peak of Disappointment! *shows distant mountain with show's logo on top of it*
>>
>>87380049
It's a surreal comedy without the mainstream refinements. Not even in just things like the actual quality of the visuals, which look like a draft render out of Blender, more like in the way that it doesn't try to appeal to anyone of any demographic. It appeals to people who like weird comedy because the people who wrote it like weird comedy.

That's the difference between a show like that and a show like Rick and Morty. Rick and Morty has catchphrases and scenes that are meant to be memed to death, as well as a lot of "self awareness" because they know that's what their audience likes. This show doesn't give a shit about appealing to anyone.

Rick and Morty is brain food. Xavier is incoherent garbage.

They are both funny shows. They have nothing to do with one another. The humor is very different though and I want to say a little more subtle in XRA even though the show may not seem subtle at all

Surrealism
Absurdism
Nihilism

They get confused together, but they're not the same thing. Each one tackles Truth in different methods: Truth is imperceivable , Truth is intangible, and Truth doesn't exist.

Lots of hacks have been merging them together to make it seem insightful; but it's vapid and void, especially the more nihilistic ones. It would be nice to see some negation of these concepts in art; pretty much what is the anti-Rick & Morty (and not like schlock like Full House or MacGyver or something). But what is a compelling argument for Truth that has it perceivable, tangible, and meaningful.

A quick solution to this would be to write in a character that is superior to Rick and shits on his philosophy. A good example of this would Q from Star Trek. But this would require the writers of R&M to be smarter than how they write Rick, without handicapping the writing for him. Probably not going to happen since Rick is the author avatar of Dan Harmon. Make your antagonists as strong (if not stronger) as your protagonists; then you'll get a good story with some substance; else you'll get a Bugs Bunny cartoon...
