this is why i love rick and morty.

You really do need to get into the mindset of a Redditor normie 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 normies 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.

You probably put more effort into this post than the writers of Rick And Morty did to the entire series.

It's a fucking sci-fi comedy, it's not supposed to be deep, it's just supposed to be funny and creative and occasionally feelsy which it achieves. The people who are trying to say that it's super deep/intellectual are just idiots and do not represent the entire fanbase.

If you watch the commentaries for the show, you can tell that the creators are just trying to have a good time when they make the show, they're not stuck-up pseudo-intellectuals or something, they're just guys who love sci-fi cartoons and comics and shit. They're not trying to write the next Sopranos or Breaking Bad or something.

>>1486400
This is one of the longest "stop liking what I don't like" posts I've ever seen. Also when you're trying to criticize people for being self important, you should usually try to avoid sounding as pretentious as humanly possible.

>>1482578
So, did rick figured them out and gave them the wrong recepie?

>>1482607
I think this scene misses the point. "retard" is now used more often as an insult than an actual descriptor. Rick is right that his intentions aren't bad, he doesn't use the word as an insult (until the end of the scene anyway), but the effect is the continued harassment of the differently abled. And while intention is important, effect is more so.

The creators of the show frame it as a purely political issue, apparently ignorant of the actual arguments used by the affected communities. Which is surprising considering how nuanced they usually are.

>>1488310
oh and I forgot to say:

A more effective criticism of putting a taboo on "retard" is that any replacement word will eventually become an insult, and we should focus on the real cause of the problem instead of putting a bandaid on the symptom.

>>1486400
nah man the show is set up as a counter to postmodernism (nothing matters, universe is too big to bother thinking about it, ethics is out of the window, BUT bonding with your family and making friends is what gives life meaning) and actually has a lot of depth and character development. Humor is pretty dumb but whatever that's not the important part of the show to me.

The show isn't trying to be a documentary on philosophy, it's trying to convey philosophical (/existential) ideas through its central themes.

Is it pretentious? yes

>>1488310
>>1488314

Dude, you're retarded.

>>1486718
>>using the word fun
>why don't you just say the show has no merit.

This is where he plays his hand guys, he's just spouting the "fun is a buzzword for when people can't actually prove a game is good" meme.

He was doing pretty good there for a bit too, but alas you went too hard anon. Better luck next time.

>>1488137
>not knowing basic chemistry
the recipe that rick gives morty for the concentrated dark matter is cesium, water and some other bullshit ingredient. thus they tried to make a bunch of it and that happened.

I think Evil Morty is our Rick's. If you watch his memories you see him playing with baby Morty, even though Beth said she hasn't seen him in 20 years.

>>1500162
oh shit I just rewatched the episode and there's a lot of things that point to this being true. Rick also says at the end that a cocky Morty can lead to problems and that he will explain it to Morty when he's older. Also Evil Morty says there's no point in taking down the Morty Grid since Mortiy's can't defeat a Rick or something along those lines, suggesting he tried once before.

The great thing is even words are politicized to some extent: some camps respect that words have meaning and should retain their meaning. Others, namely retards, think that words should change to suit their temporal context.

You are the god of babel fame anon, you are the reason that people are entranced and estranged when others use words they cannot understand.

>>1486400
This post is inane, the best episodes are when the voice actor for Rick is given free reign to talk into a mic so that the creators can edit over it with fictional other dimension television shows.

It's a cartoon. If you think that you are educated good for you, but the reasoning behind your reckoning should not be that "I got that reference in a television show last night."

Are you dense? He says that not because it's true, but as a means to discourage Morty from acting up. Evil Morty did defeat his Rick in some way. It's saying the opposite. You fucking got tricked by a cartoon element that wasn't supposed to trick you, the viewer, oh my fucking god how pathetic can you be?

I know this is bait, but anyone else always laugh at any post that uses people enjoying science as an insult? I know people who enjoy popsci probably could stand to learn more in-depth information about it, but I'd rather have that than brainless retards who only care about social media or better, rejection of science for religion and nationalism. At least it gives them a small base of understanding about the world and some of its mechanics.

Hell, pop-sci can lead people into actually caring about science much more. This "new" idea that science is cool and interesting is actually a good thing, why would you not want how the fucking universe works to be liked by the populace, even if just on a basic level? Do you realize we bitch about people not knowing basic things daily and then when some people actually learn a little bit we mock them for doing that very thing?

its highschool chemistry you mong

by essentially triggering a reaction which results in great heat energy being released, it acts as a catalyst for the plutonium (enriched) to explode, its the basic gun-type nuclear bomb design used on Japan

>>1542938
dude you're missing the point ENTIRELY.
the plutonium is second to the cesium and water because cesium reacts so violently to water that it alone would cause a huge ass explosion. plutonium isnt the important part but may be there to support the explosion to make it more deadly. the catalyst is the cesium and that alone would do enough damage to destroy the space ship, however it seems that the plutonium is added to make the recipe seem legit enough to trick the ayy lmaos.

nuclear bombs need pressure to detonate, not heat. a plutonium bomb would consist of a sub-critical core encased within a neutron deflector and an outer shell of conventional explosive. the outer explosive shell detonates first and the resulting inward shockwave compresses the core enough to reach critical density, at which point a fission chain starts. the neutron deflector keeps the fission byproducts banging around inside the core longer, which increases the speed of the chain reaction. the bombs dropped on japan, and just about every experimental nuke since, have been based on this staged shell design. heating some plutonium up wouldnt do diddly shit to start or sustain a fission reaction. think before you type you mong
