I've noticed this quite a bit too. people in the industry always recognize it and comment on it. even now though I work at Disney, the executives still notice when I wear Rick and Morty shirts and comment saying they love that show. (the rnm shirts i have are the cast and crew ones though which are different) Typical fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Jul 30, 2016 |

I was on-board with the show early in season 1, and I had some disposable income one month and got a shirt from T-fury, or whatever that t-shirt selling site is that sends me emails every day. I don't even hardly pay attention. Thank you, this post really makes me want a R&M shirt from T-Fury or whatever now.

Photography Raptor is still the funniest thing ever because the combination of old fashion photography (a old thing) and a dinosaur (a very very old thing) is very good and very funny. This has been joke explainer, where I explain why joke is the best joke.

Ok so I'm rewatching the series for the first time after not really paying enough attention to the broader inter-dimensional plot the first time (mainly centered around the dimension switch in Rick Potion #9) and I just want to make sure I'm understanding it properly: The show starts out in Earth Dimension C-137 and we think this because Rick is known as the Rick from C-137. In Rick Potion #9 they Cronenberg the whole Earth so as a last resort Rick brings Morty and himself to an Earth of a different dimension where that Rick was able to save the world but also dies shortly after along with his Morty. We don't know the name of this new dimension in which "our" Rick and Morty are now based for the rest of the show from then on. However, fans' analyses have found evidence that the dimension the show starts in is not actually C-137, but instead a dimension that our Rick (C-137) fled to, possibly because of all the dimension-hopping and rebel stuff he did during his 20 year estrangement from the family. Do I have that right?

What an amazing show, each episode is some kind of high concept sci-fi short story (in addition to being hilarious) Anyway, I figure this dimensional stuff is the reason that Rick is basically amoral. Death and pain are meaningless, there are infinite copies of everyone out there in the universe having infinite experiences. Nothing matters one way or the other  What I am really trying to puzzle out is Ricks motivations. What is his ultimate goal? He doesn't seem to want to become a god or control the universe in any way. He could become techno-god, or galactic emperor or whatever pretty easily so it must not interest him for some reason? He hangs out with lots of beings that do want to ascend to godhood, but he doesn't seem to have any interest in it.

Party Boat posted:To get RIGGITY RIGGITY WREEEECKED! I honestly hope the witters never explain why Rick is an amoral alcoholic. Right now I just assume it is because he has seen things beyond my comprehension, looked into the abyss and found like looking back at him. I don't think anything a writer could come up with would ever be as satisfying. I really hope its not something lame like "Rick is sad because he is from another dimension. His real family is dead from his own mistakes, and he hopped over to a new world to live with an alternate family. Every day he sees them reminds him of his own family and how he couldn't save them". It feels like where they are going, but its completely out of character for Rick to look at people 3 dimensionally like that.

Also he dimension hopped in season 1 and didn't care at all, unlike poor Morty. That fact that the council hasn't mentioned that seems kinda weird really.

Rutibex posted:Right now I just assume it is because he has seen things beyond my comprehension, I pretty much landed there, too. We've seen him fail to save his family and move in with doppelgangers within the show, and he doesn't seem to care. My assumption is that he's internalized intense nihilism due to the belief that existence is arbitrary, there is no God, nothing is "real" due to constant indeterminate flux, the world could end at a moment's notice, and everyone operates in the cold pursuit of self-interest. I'd be a nihilist and probably a hedonist, too, if I was that routinely made aware of how meaningless, ephemeral, and cosmically insignificant my or anyone's existence is.

I re-watched Rick Potion #9 (the first time I was a little distracted, only had it on in the background). It seems to me that Rick didn't care at all because maybe this wasn't the first time he had done it? He didn't care about abandoning his family on that world because his "real" family was already dead. One set of quantum copies is as good as another.

But, you know, I haven't seen civilized planets explode for no reason, or seen my family die in other realities, or buried my own corpse. I'll talk about quantum indeterminacy, but I haven't literally entered some kind of spacetime nexus where branching decision trees for my actions become divergent realities that I perceive. But, you know, Rick has.

It could be that he still has anti-Federation goals in mind, but I find it more likely that he just doesn't give a gently caress and he's just doing whatever he wants now.

Death and pain are meaningless, there are infinite copies of everyone out there in the universe having infinite experiences. Nothing matters one way or the other I think you're on the money. Whatever happened in his past, I think the moment he found out about infinite universes he had a moral breakdown. At the same time he's incredibly self-centered and puts himself in the spotlight at every possible moment. I don't think he has an ultimate goal. He has the biggest ego in the universe but the sheer size of existence itself made every important discovery he ever made entirely pointless. His science days are behind him. His days of trying to make the world(s) a better place are behind him. Him trying to reconnect with his family after everything he's seen and been through says more about what he wants than anything that's happened in the show. If he wanted to drink himself to death he could do it anywhere in space and time, if he wanted to grab for power and change everyone's lives for the better (if he could do that) he'd have done it. But instead he goes to live with his estranged family because [like was said in Bojack] all you have in life is the connections you make with others. [/maudlin]

I just occurred to me, after re-watching Rick Potion #9, Rick fucks up in this episode pretty badly. Like he is down right incompetent, and Rick is never incompetent. Maybe he did the whole thing intentionally, as a sick way to bond with Morty? To have someone else to share the hosed up reality of existence with.

It's fine, but I think you people are putting way more thought into it than Harmon and Roiland. I think the best characters build up over time rather than having a background that is completely prewritten.

He's an alcoholic after all; even the best adjusted alcoholic is gonna gently caress up once in awhile. He was also at least for awhile suicidal. He's not perfect. And was it really even all that incompetent? He just kinda hand waives away Morty and then as Morty is leaving he thinks "...unless they have the flu..." but then he just kinda ignores it as something that probably won't be a problem. Rick is smart, he's just also lazy and irresponsible. Those are definitely major traits of Rick.

Why would he think mutating people with a bunch of random DNA would solve anything? I'm not Rick and I could have told him that's a stupid idea.

There is no way his "mix of 20 animals DNA" solution was not deliberately calculated to make Morty feel all was lost, and cool with abandoning the world. MrSlam posted:Deep down I know you're right.

The Council of Ricks proves that Ricks have some disposition towards order even in the face of an infinite, uncaring universe. It is just* the Rick the show focuses on who probably said "gently caress it, nothing matters". R&M's world is still one where if the most intelligent person met their's alternate universe version, the result would most likely be an alliance rather than a duel. Even if the alliance is not for the betterment of the multiverse, but for protecting it from mutually assured destruction. *There are probably more nihilist Ricks out there, which is why they have a whole security force.

Its not random animals DNA, and nothing says its just an equal proportion of a bunch of different animals. For all you know Rick did his best to carefully splice certain sections on purpose from each species, and he was reaaaaaal close to actually fixing everything and just whoopsie overlooked some tiny little thing because biochemistry isn't exactly easy and even though he's a genius he's just one dude. And the 'cure' even kinda works for awhile at first, right? Its like he was close but then oops. So then he tries again, because he was close, but... yeah.
