Does everybody know what this is about besides me? I listened to the interview and he doesn't really explain it there either.

Rick smashing things sounds like it would be a more apt expression of his frustration and despair than the aborted suicide attempt, especially since its the first time he's expressing such feelings in front of the audience.

It also hurts things from a storytelling position because when you start with the 'nuclear option' there's nothing they can really do to build on it.

Eh...matter of taste with the first line I'd say (could debate Rick's character, but whatevs), but possibly true with the second line.

Then again, this thread has multiple pages of: "There's no way they can top this, they can't push it further." and yet on it goes. :v:

That's because they confirmed that there's going to be one every season a while ago. Perhaps the exact episode of Season 2 it's gonna be is news though.

But "rock bottom" is a perfectly valid place to start a character arc. One of the best, even. From there you start growing the character slowly, a bit at a time.

Ok. Getting two different stories here.

In the interview, Justin was pissed because a fan tried to insert his own theory about jellybean rape scene, or the reason why Rick tried to de-atomize himself?

It was pretty clear. Justin got yelled at by tumblr because they didn't appreciate him putting something like that in his show which 'triggers' them and makes them feel bad. They went after him because he made them feel bad.

If tumblr feels bad, they get angry.

He said that he feels very sympathetic towards people who have had abuses toward them, but he doesn't believe you should get mad at a person for putting these real life situation into art because it's telling a story and not giving his stance on the subject.

I think smashing things does sound more like a Rick thing to do, which is why I think it makes sense that he wouldn't do it this time. This is after something that has affected him in a way that hasn't been explored previously in the show (at least not to my knowledge, I've missed a couple episodes).

It's not about how much media they consume, it's about what kind. Look at what Tumblrteens gobble up: Steven Universe, The Avengers, Harry Potter, Pokemon... It's all stuff designed for teenagers and children. The reason they react this way is because they're mentally and emotionally stunted because of a constant diet of the media equivalent of dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets and Kraft macaroni and cheese.

Steven Universe is a great show and is also incredibly subversive and bucks a lot of bad cartoon tropes, hope this helps!

A children's TV show that has found a way to get past network censorship and tackle queer issues is actually A Big Deal because there really isn't much in the way of queer friendly media for younger folks.

Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

The show is really grating, especially the main character. Every time I say this, someone always chimes in to say, "just watch it to this episode and it gets good". The last time this happened they told me to watch to episode 40.

This show I can watch every episode and like all of them. This is part of what distinguishes a good show from a bad show.
