I really enjoyed all these hilarious Namor and Doom related comic strips and, much to Rick's chagrin, he's established continuity with  and if Season 5 follows up on that at all its going to be absolutely disastrous. Here's to thate and I feel like they will ? They teased the young female Captain Planet and I feel like she's definitely related to Mr. Nimbus in some sense, environmentally maybe. e 2 sorry I just realized that  Beth, Space Beth then?

Did anyone else feel like the golden time owl at the end of the universe was, at least visually, a reference the the golden time owl in the Adventure Time universe? The R&M one is absolutely darker and more guant, less round like a pokemon, but it was basically the same color pallete and felt influenced.

Open Source Idiom posted:The Doctor Wong reference surprised me too. (She's an alien, right? Based off the gag from last year's finale?) Naw, the joke there was Rick not considering therapists to count as "human life". LividLiquid posted:In my experience, most people who think this are people who think having a big dick makes you good in bed. Naw, having a big dick tends to lead one to over rely on it, much as having a small dick leads one to believe they can compensate for it. The best possible dick haver would be one with a big dick and a small dick mindset.

Hexmage-SA posted:The podcast Wizard & The Bruiser just released their episode on the creation of Rick & Morty that was pretty much prefaced by a discussion of the fandom. Their stance came down to "pretty much every fandom has toxic elements, Rick & Morty's toxic fans just got a lot of attention for a minute". The other side of the coin is that Harmon spends way more time in explicit dialogue with the audience than most creators and his main message is invariably "gently caress you, I won't do what you told me."

It's not the comics that have changed, its the readers... This is similar to the people who are like "why is Star Wars political now???" not realizing that they are outing themselves that they missed the original film's extremely simplistic, and overt, message of "Nazis are bad."

My only childhood foray into comics was burning my road trip Toys R Us allotment on what turned out to be 1/3 of a G.I. Joe Persian Gulf war story where the last cannon thing that happened was Cobra Commander obliterating the previous Christmas' hottest GI Joe toys with an artillery strike. It sucked.

Yeah, considering entire generations have grown up on comic book based cartoons and now movies, it says a lot that the comics themselves are still basically an industry on life support that sees little to no benefit from it. You have to be TRYING to gently caress that up.

How would I even get into comic books though? It just seems confusing to get into. There are all these different story lines and multiverses that I don't know how get into a story for a character I'd be potentially interested in. How do back issues work? Comic books are physical books that come out once a month or whenever, but can I start at the beginning of a storyline or am I stuck with whatever is in a comic store? Any time I have discussed comics with someone who was into them, they start talking about how this is Universe 587B and this one is 34G and this character is dead in this universe, but this character is a horse in this universe and it just seems way to complicated when I could just watch a TV show or a movie series.

You’re overthinking it by a lot, most kids get into comics by picking something they think looks cool from the cover. You’re smart enough to pick up the context, and most these days will have summaries in the front. Probably the one thing to look out for is if a cover specifies some specific story arc with a number like “Batman: Joker Wars part 4 of 7”.

Typically what you do is you say “Hey, goons, I really like (CHARACTER), what are the best storylines for that character?” and the goons will be like “oh, so and so has the best run on Swamp Thing or Deadpool” read the stories by them first” and then you look up those stories and buy them in paper for like $20 a trade or you just download them and read them on platform of choice. The most popular characters have lots to chew through, but smaller characters usually have like 1 or 2 good incarnations that encompass all the best bits of the other stories. Like, getting into Spider-Man would be a big order, but the biggest characters like Spider-Man or Wolverine have the most exhaustive Wikipedia entries on Earth and literally dozens of guides about what the best stories to check out are.

Rick has a line in the last finale, "Smart guns: white-list human life... and the therapist." This is definitely not a joke about Rick's views of therapists, Dr. Wong must be an alien.

Is funny that Wong has a speech all ready for Rick, but it makes total sense; Rick is an international celebrity, with many of his highs and lows public knowledge on Earth, and she's clearly done her research getting ready to treat his family. And I imagine she wouldn't have taken the job if she wasn't ready to deal with Rick's bullshit both personally and on a danger-to-life-and-limb level.

There is nothing to suggest Rick is a famous or household name, just that he’s on every government watchlist within the known universe. Wong has the speech prepared because she just spent an hour talking to the Smiths and realized that the family patriarch was the lynchpin to their entire family dynamic and as a therapist in her mid-to-late 50’s Rick is definitely not the only alcoholic dragging his whole family down that she’s dealt with. Wong is not an alien, holy poo poo, goons are so bad at watching TV and getting jokes lmao

However, I think it's also fun to look at the line from a different angle, as an idea that's fun to kick around. (Particularly given the controversy around the character's casting.) It's a reading, and a fun one. That's all.
