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?

Because Rick took it over as soon as he got there.

The Rickstaverse Instagram thing implies that Rick's actions on that planet set off a civil war that is still ongoing, with Rick as a rallying figure for the male Gazorpazorpians.

But that shot is from before they did anything... it's the first time they see the head, which leads to them zardozing up into it, meeting the women, etc etc.

I can't decide if a civil war on Garzorpazorp would lead to good things or bad things. The whole planet felt like a big metaphor for a bad relationship, maybe a civil war would would lead to the planet splitting in half AKA a metaphorical divorce which frankly seems like it would be what's best for the species. Just give both genders cloning machines capable of mixing up genetic material so same sex couples can have kids and let them go their separate ways since they have nothing in common and don't like being around each other.

It almost certainly was written as a result of Dan Harmon fooling around in the writer's room with his Ice-T impression and one of the writers taking that and running with it.

I'm thinking the genesis of this episode is Roiland waking up hung over and finding Get Shwifty and the other song fully recorded from the night before then dropping them off in the writers room and the rest is history.

I don't know if it's the quality but it just, for some reason, kept skipping on the answers that were about production or the creative process, but it was real clear on "I got told off on the internet" guys part.

I especially noticed it when I stopped watching the video and was just listening to the audio, it became super annoying, often dropping multiple times per sentence. Those must be some drat bad mics.

Did enjoy the story of how that ending sequence was basically a game of telephone and originally the plan was just to have Rick get angry and like wreck a shelf or something, hah.

The whole situation was weird. Justin didn't really respond in the best way, but in his defense, I don't know what the person who brought it up to him was trying to accomplish. You never talk to a creator about fanfiction and you especially never try to get them to step in on a fandom dispute. That's just overstepping a boundary between creator and fan.

Justin handled it perfectly. The show's pilot features a child's grandfather asking him to insert two giant nuts up his rectum, and that's okay, but then, a year later, the idea of the same grandfather asking the same child to stick something objectively smaller and softer up the same rectum is offensive? Whoever thinks that deserved all the trolling and derision Justin heaped on him.

It's okay when they rape random wenches in GoT, but when a major character is raped, everyone is upset. Works the same way.

It's a bit more complicated than he's making out. There have been two big broohahas about it; the first when the director was extremely tone deaf and didn't think it was rape in a "oh she ended up enjoying it" kind of way, and the second when they had a character go through a lot of development to get out of a situation where she's in danger of being raped into one where she's in control... and surprise! She's raped in a scene that doesn't (and can't, due to other changes) exist in the book, and eliminates all her character development to help spur a man into action.

People know that GoT has rape in it, it's only the really stereotypical "women are viewed as things for the sake of the plot" that gets people riled in large numbers.

I thought this was an interesting recurring theme from the season 1 commentary actually, that the whole show is essentially a game of tug-of-war between Justin's insanity and the rest of the crew, particularly Harmon's, desire for effective storytelling, but they have trouble figuring out where the point of balance when they're actively working on an episode. Harmon seems to worry that he's often removing too much Roiland from the mix, but I think there's clearly something enhanced by the collaboration as opposed to Justin's solo work.

His insanity is generally amusing and clever enough that he shouldn't really have to listen to anyone, but I think he's also smart enough to realize that letting himself get edited a bit can make a much stronger end product and if done carefully none of the Roiland charm is missing.

But I think you might have been mostly talking about an outside the writer's room context.

In that interview, that was linked last page, Roiland and Ridley put it pretty well about S2E3's ending. Harmon basically structured the episode for the most part, but the ending itself was nothing of his and he left it up to Roiland and the storyboard folks to do whatever they'd like. The original idea was that Rick'd smash poo poo up, but instead of that they came up with an ending that resonated a lot more. The joke of it is - they didn't even put that much intent or thought behind it, but came up with something way better than the original 'smashing poo poo up' idea.

It does seem to be a really good way for the show to function. Harmon usually brings his input to most of it, and the general structure of the story, but in special select scenes he just gives Roiland and co. free reign to do whatever they'd like (such as also all the improv sketches of interdimensional TV).
