NI MUERTE NI MIEDO
The real solution is full Communism.

Without the need for finance or economic viability, shows like Rick and Morty can prosper without the decadence and corruption of capitalism.

No it was a thing. Season 2 is now a union job, and there was quite a bit of struggle to get that to happen, with threats of walkouts and stoppages, etc. I mean, I don't know if it ever got as bad as what Titmouse has done before (laid off employees, asked them to work for free until maybe they can get hired again, and blacklisting the people who didn't work for free), but there were some unhappy people working on the production, particularly because many of the writers didn't realize that if you create a whole new planet, you have a shitload of character and layout designs that you're never using again, meaning lots of overtime...

As for shell corporations, that's TM again who created a shell comp to sign the union contract so they could receive work from Dreamworks/Disney, and then subcontract themselves so there are no real Union benefits. I don't think Starburns/Roiland's outfit did that, but who knows. Even then, like Bob's Burgers, a lot of the animation work itself is done by Bardel in Canada.

I'm basing my opinion on what two artists of the actual show have said in this very thread. They needed insurance so they went to the union. That was it. Apparently I don't know the rest of the story.

I might have it wrong, but I'm going off of someone I know who worked on the first season when it was non-union and my own talks with the union last month. There are probably people closer to the current circumstances than I am so I'll defer to them.

Not too aware of the controversy about people blaming Harmon for it, but would not be surprised if people decided he was the bad guy for dumbass reasons. I wouldn't think that as writer/creator he has final say or even any control over the contracts the artists sign, but considering he's a public figure it's probably that people just use him as a symbol for the show.

It may not be fair, but you can't point out and shame the companies or the businessmen who are actually responsible for the screwing. So people have to try to exert pressure through the public figures who might actually care about angry people and have some ability to feel shame.

Yeah, why would one of the managing partners of the company they worked for have any say in the matter?

Well yeah, personal out-of-pocket finances going into a production like this is a bad idea and isn't the solution to this kind of issue, but underpaying the people who do a lot of the labor on the show is not that great either. The network or the financiers should probably give these shows a better budget considering the demands of quality and production turnaround.

I'm not saying it's not a lovely thing, I'm just saying paying to fix it themselves isn't the answer.

This show's been off the air too long. At first for some reason I registered that as Summer (a la Lawnmower Dog) and was grossed out but then was like "Well that's super creepy but it is Evil Morty so I guess it sort of makes sen-- Oh wait."

Maybe she's an Evil Jessica who's using tech to control her own Evil Rick (being a Jessica is sufficient to control her universe's Morty).
