masteraero posted:I pity the person who had to transcribe/caption A Rickle In Time. I don't know how much freedom caption writers have over caption placement but I figure a good way to start would be to caption each split timeline separately in slightly smaller text. This would give almost exactly the same effect as the audio, you can pick which one you want to focus on or you can just step back and try to absorb both at once. I know for DVDs the subtitles are just transparent images overlaid onto the video, so you could easily do this. On TV I guess the system might not be so powerful. That episode was such a great use of the medium.

So here's a question; has any scene so far really made you feel unsettled or disturbed? I was just watching Morty-night Run and that small scene where Fart drives one of those pilots to suicide bothered me more than anything else in the show and I'm not exactly sure why.

The scene with King Jellybean in the bathroom made me the most uncomfortable the first time. I can watch it pretty easily now.

Watching Rick almost kill himself at the end of Auto Erotic Assimilation was also difficult. By the way, do we know what the creature was that he tested the kill beam on first?

It was a well done sequence, very upsetting to watch. To me, that scene feels somewhat cheap because they never really showed much of Rick and Unity, just Unity slowly falling apart because of Rick's influence. It seemed like they had this scene too 'early' in the series to me, and If the episode showed more of Rick and Unity, or even Rick in general it might have worked in my eyes...but a scene showing anyone trying to kill themselves will usually provoke that kind of reaction from the viewer. As for the creature, I thought it was an infant or kid from the Space-AIDS monster's race; to Rick, it was both a mercy kill and a test drive for his device.

But the scene wasn't really about Rick and Unity. It might be more about Rick and everyone else he comes in contact with. He's a toxic force that comes into peoples lives, and basically ruins them because he's a selfish rear end in a top hat. But he gets over it quick, because he's Rick Sanchez, and he doesn't give a gently caress. Ultimately.

It's a double whammy, really, because it's Rick, who is otherwise always very certain of himself. You can only put so much backstory for a 20-25 mins show and I thought they did the best they could in that regard, really, given their format and time allocated. I've read up on the major reactions to all of the 'pathos' and 'drama' parts of this show and honestly...I think goons are over-analyzing them far too much...as per usual. Bear with me a bit with a personal story, to understand why I think this way. I remember watching "Way of the Dee-Dee" - a Dexter's Lab episode - something like 17 or so years back, whenever it aired. It was definitely an uncharacteristic episode, not just for the show but for cartoons in general (at least it was for me), where it ends with Dee Dee crying in tears, running away, and Dexter solemnly putting on his gloves and getting back to work. When I saw that short 7 minute episode in my early teens, I didn't loving over-analyze of "oh, but Dexter just becoming a maniac beforehand is so unrealistic! It's sloppy, fast and not earned!" Newsflash - he's a goddamn cartoon character as opposed to a real person. But that doesn't mean I didn't tear up at the end of the episode, because what mattered was that I got a profound message of it: People work best when they stay true to themselves, warts and all. So don't go through your life pretending you're something you aren't. I was just blown away and so glad that a cartoon, of all things, managed to pull off a message that played on my heartstrings, was absolutely relevant to me at the time, and surprised me in that way. I am just so glad that Rick and Morty follow this way, continue with it in season 2 and also follow it really well. Someone else I know, that was legit raped at age 5, commented that the jellybean rape scene was spot on, though sadly she didn't manage to escape. People ITT commented on this scene with Rick as really hitting them, because they went through it themselves. The alternate realities pondering about Summer's existence are also terrific, because they do their best to boil down to what matters the most by the end of it all. And all of this is what makes this show so much better than *just* nihilistic dark humor comedy (even though I love that a lot too). It tells me its creators want to go that extra mile, transcend just that box by adding an element of humanity to it, and not be lazy when it comes to writing. That is something I can't help but be in awe of nowadays, when it comes to cartoons, where it is just so easy to get away with mediocrity (including the visual part - terrific animations). So TL;DR - caught up with this show just now, its ultra-dark comedy is right up my street and its dramatic parts remind me why I once really grew to love cartoons in my teenage years, and why I can grow to love them again with shows like these. We now return to your regularly scheduled program of over-analysis, I suppose, as opposed to that of my own.

But he gets over it quick, because he's Rick Sanchez, and he doesn't give a gently caress. Ultimately. It's actually mentioned very well in Unity's letter to Rick (not sure if I'm paraphrasing this accurately, but words to this effect): "I realize that no matter what happens, you are not going to change ever. You do what I do so much better, without even trying, and I don't blame you for that. But it does make me think what kind of an entity I am, for being willing to put up with that." Rick absolutely refuses to compromise his ideals or ego for anyone or anything, including someone that loves and trusts him. And that is a dealbreaker in any relationship that wants to go beyond just fooling around. In any relationship, that you want to make work for the long term, you have to be willing to compromise at least some part of who you are so that the two of you can work out. And Rick, as a character, simply refuses to do that - if he ever did that, he would stop being Rick.

It made me laugh too, but then again I was still laughing at Jerry making sure he didn't say "Mr. Poopy Butthole" to the 911 operator. Applewhite posted:Probably because of the fear that a single, incisive observation targeted at exactly the right chink in one's ego could drive an otherwise stable individual from zero to suicide in ten seconds flat. Yeah ,good point; that concept was the reason why I've always been bothered by the idea of telepathy/mental suggestion. I think the music made it more eerie to me, though

Sorry if this has been discussed; why are there Rick flags on Gazorpazorp?  Is this going to be some overarching Bad Wolf lame plotline universe mythos BS, are they going to turn the show into "ah hah... it's actually a post-apocalyptic world, take THAT kids!" a la Adventure Time or whatever?
