ninjewtsu posted:I liked how ricklike morty's interactions with the civilization were. He started nice enough but as soon as it became even a mild inconvenience for him he took a "get what I want and get out" approach and as soon as it was more than a mild inconvenience for him he didn't even think twice about murdering everyone It’s been like 5 years since Morty’s first Purge planet experience, and underneath all the Smith he’s still a Sanchez. Hell just look at Summer’s background gag this episode, both of the Smith children are cold-dicked killers Also for anyone who has the option, the episode is legit funnier on YouTube, the censor bleeps ruined at least one funny joke when I watched it on cable.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:~toxic~ R&M fans think they’re Rick, at best are Jerry, and most realistically are just the gif of Beth pouring the wine after shooting Mister Poopey Butthole Not sure that comparison works this season, Jerry's life is going pretty good right now. He's going to therapy, his relationship with his wife has dramatically improved, and he just had a threesome with the king of the ocean. Jerry is getting his poo poo together.

Once Jerry realized that his super genius wife and super genius dad are both huge losers he stopped taking as much poo poo and started pushing back a little and the character works much better IMO.

I feel like even the most hardcore Supernatural fans acknowledge that the show by and large sucks. I don't even know who is still out there stanning supernatural, all the Tumblr superwholock kids grew up and walked away. By comparison, Star Wars is one of the most common denominators of nerdery and so it has a much active, much louder fanbase.

Yeah, say what you want about Rick and Morty fans (please? they're hilarious losers and there's so much material there) but I don't think it ever got a "this isn't misogynistic enough" organized fan movement Btw, besides "all of them" the worst fanbase is renaissance art. Prove me wrong.

He's become self aware about his role. He's not a super scientist, but he does what he can. He says "Hey!", he uses puppets, and he calls the police. It's also really fun how's he's trying to logically guess that Rick's nemesis must be a magic guy.

Summer really should have known to break rather than blow the shell. It's perfectly logical with this sort of show and she's been living it for several years at this point!

Comics are dying for the same 2 reasons that magazines are dying: because smart phones essentially killed reading physical media and were now on our second generation of young people raised entirely online who have and will never read a paper book, and also because printing a full color magazine on paper and mailing all over the world is an order of magnitude more expensive now than it was in the 80’s/90’s… It’s not just because comics are bad.

It occurs to me that Summer going on the commando mission is a sign of Rick's character development, too. He used to hate the idea of involving anyone but Morty in his business.

I couldn't tell what they were going for either, so I guess I'm bad at watching TV. At first glance, I thought it was Nimbus disrespecting Jerry by not remembering his name, but that doesn't really fit the context well.

The R&M fanbase has been pretty quiet since the whole McDonalds incident. But maybe that's just because Rick hasn't instructed us to go do anything specific.

Mainstream comics also have an absurdly reader-hostile business model that requires you to follow multiple 'books' at a time to actually follow the story, and routinely changing up writers, artists, names and series where you need a goddamn flowchart to even try to keep things straight. And then they put a new writer on it and everything you like about it is thrown away and forgotten forever.

Don't forget A WORLD CHANGING SUPER EVENT literally every two years that upends the entire continuity, introduces a billion new characters, a new cosmic super force that is WaY MoRE PowErFUl then the last one, couple of multiverses, new backstories, and oh if you finally manage to have the time and money to read all of this here is a NEW WORLD CHANGING SUPER EVENT... Getting back into any comics is a nightmare. Except for Namor, because that's a loving Tuesday for him and nobody ever sticks around for long (because they die, usually horribly) anyway DarkCrawler fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Jun 24, 2021 |

At least you can treat the TV/movie stuff as one big “The Marvel Show” since you only need to watch like 2 movies a year along with maybe 2 short seasons of television to keep up. The comics on the other hand have like 50 series going at once that release a new chapter every month. The quality is also much more sporadic so keeping on top of things will require reading a ton of books that are outright dogshit. I don’t care for mainstream superhero comics is what I’m saying.

I tried seriously following comics exactly once, I started with the Ultimate series because they promised not to do this poo poo. Guess how that worked out.

It should be stressed that there is a side world of independent, non-super hero comics and stories that are amazing and hyper kickass, it’s just that superhero books are hard to do well
