the metaverse episode was clearly harmon's poo poo, in the same way the intergalactic tv episodes were roiland's

I mean, Iunno about the rest of the episodes, but for a couple of them the influence is obvious.

From hearing people talk about it and watching people play it, the problem is that Justin's writing is fine when he can control the timing. But in this game, he can't control the timing. In a show he could have someone walk up to a thing, do a quip, then go to the next thing, do another quip, and so on. But in the game, nothing stops the player from just sprinting through the area and then it's playing all the quips at once. Or it keeps playing a conversation and you're still able to hear it after you've walked away.

Roiland will actually start yelling at you if you go through an area too fast.

are dan harmon and justin roiland even doing much work on rick and morty? i thought they passed off being showrunners so they could focus on other projects. i'm sure they still have a lot of creative input on the show but when people say "dan harmon is ruining the show" is there any actual evidence that harmon wrote [episode i dislike] other than "this smells like harmon's poo poo"

Who knows, but that episode coulda come outta the mind of a lot of different authors. Self-import writers hand-wringing about their own self-importance is the Pokémon evolution of Imposter Syndrome. It's so common I'm surprised there isn't a label for it.

Yeah. Also the guns and the primaries are the only ones who get to continue talking while you roam. The NPC types just curse you when you walk away before they have their say. Iirc, some won't continue/restart the scripted chatter after that so I think I lost a few bits of amusing chatter because of it.

The chatter isn't all that bad as each gun is voiced by a recognizable top tier voice actor who do their best to inhabit the role of sentient guns from a sentient gun planet.

There's a plot that's pretty much a loose Solar Opposites type of plot overlay, but that's all pretty unimportant as the game knows what it is: Saving The Universe From Drug Dealers Who Want To Smoke Humanity In A Space Bong.

Plus, Space Chain Restaurants. And an amazing conversation about space genitalia. Lots of space stuff...it's a theme but we don't get too far outside of what you can see, folks. Just your thin framework of a plot so another set of angel investors can wear you around their necks like gold chains. All very dehumanizing and creatively like a mini-holocaust, but for ideas that came out while Roiland was pooping. Oh, and it's on Game Pass, so they're only making Spotify money at best. Aw geez, folks.

She's boning herself. It's hardly re-domestication. I'd wager she's about as domestic as Rick used to be.

No, why would it be? She's happy and maintaining a good relationship with her family. Also, she hasn't stopped doing cool space stuff, she's just found a healthy work life balance.

Also I'd assume that the Galactic Government is still pretty hosed up from their big Wrangler Death Star blown up. So probably not as much resistance stuff to do until they get the second one built.

The theory that Mr. Poopybutthole is an apex predator from the world of the parasites that showed up in Total Rickall is an excellent fan theory and I hope it's correct.

I wonder if the show will get canceled. An employment contract would have "charged with a felony" as cause for termination so I figure a show deal would be similar

Next season starts with Rick and Morty leaving through a portal at breakfast, and then at the end of the very last episode they come back completely scorched up and exhausted. No voice actors needed!

Probably the best course of action. He's just Australian Justin Roiland. Though guy's juggling three shows right now.
