I would find it irritating if it became the shows "thing" that they would do each episode, but I liked it as a concept for one episode. The only scene I didn't like was the first one with the corn people because it was a normal, not funny scene, but with corn people. I don't want to say "Family Guy", but gently caress, that one was definitely Family Guy levels of "funny".

My only disappointment with this episode is that we didn't get to see Chairworld-Rick. There must have been a Chairworld-Rick, right?

I like how for Stan opening the portal is his life's work, but for Rick it's something as simple and everyday as pressing a button on your TV remote.

JT Jag posted:Considering how absurdly similar they were, I wonder if Zeep Xanflorp was actually his universe's version of Rick. Given, his name wasn't Rick and he was voiced by Stephen Colbert, which are points against. If Rick lived in a world where humans were instructed by an alien to step on a thing in order to produce energy and "siphon the waste" into a volcano, he would have immediately realized what's up as soon as he invented his own tiny universe.

Sometimes other people get disproportionally more invested in things I like, and it kinda bothers me. Am I experiencing that thing half-assedly? Will I extract more enjoyment if I engage with the thing more fully? Or will I cross the invisible line of "fandom" if I do so? Is the line absolute, or relative? Are some things more acceptable to be engaged with to a larger extend than with other things, and what kind of qualities define that? But then I scroll past their walls of text and forget about it. Rick and Morty is a good show with funny gags and smart plotlines

I, too, would have appreciated the subtle urological gag of Tinkle, if she wasn't featured in the same episode as a character named Mr. Poopy Butthole.

Veryslightlymad posted:You sometimes want to start a story in the middle so it's tense (or some other feeling) wire-to-wire. You cut out the beginning because the beginning doesn't fit the mood you want for the piece. You have to lovingly craft the relevant backstory by events that take place during the remainder of the story. I think that Mad Max: Fury Road is a good example of this. It knows that it's elements are so simplistic (evil warlord, girls making their escape) that the audience can be trusted to put two and two together so it jumps straight to where it matters instead of putting us through the very obvious backstory.

Also, how could they hear the Screaming Sun if there was this huge swath of vacuum between it and the planet? Horrible show, would not watch again.

Angrymantium posted:On the topic of speculative content, we've had episodes with near infinite Mortys, Ricks, and Jerrys, how long until we see infinite Beth's? Probably (hopefully) never. Whenever the show does an infinite version of a character it seems to try and point out how insignificant each individual is if there is actually an infinite number of them, and their own personal history and issues don't matter if there are a billion different possibilities. Beth on the other hand seems to be one of the grounding elements of the show, and treating her like that would take away any of Rick's humanity. I really can't explain this as well as I have it in my mind, but Rick caring for Beth, that one Beth, is the one aspect of the character that keeps him from becoming an unrelatable caricature, and "Infinite Beths", especially if it's treated how other Infinite X plots have been, would be too nihilistic for me to enjoy. (Yes, I am still coming to terms with Rick abandoning Cronenberg World Beth, but at least she seemed happy) Re: Cob World: The punchline is the fans trying to break down the joke. However, it can't beat the magnificence of Silicon Valley's first season's finale's Microwave Heater joke in the way it made goons tear at each other's throats about what the actual punchline was.

If you start people with the best episode, then the only way left for them is downhill. The pilot is a litmus test for the show. There are definitely episodes that are way better than the pilot (all of them), but if you can't watch the pilot and say "yeah, that is a show I will probably enjoy seeing" then you will probably won't appreciate the rest and you are better off watching something else. Which is ok, because R&M is a special kind of show and I can't hold it against anyone who doesn't find the humor in stuffing things up people's butts in order to cross interdimensional border control.

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.

Maybe it was just Harmon retconing their relationship because it turned out that if the show didn't have even a little heart like that it would be an unfun nihilistic wasteland.

Typical posted:Well Goons, it sure has been a while. but I have returned to work on Season 3 of Rick and Morty. Good. Now stop posting and go back to work. Seriously though, great that you are working on this again! Typical posted:in addition to to its uncanny ability to wash your bowels out it also gives you the much needed strength to animate at 60 frames per second. (we have to accommodate for 4k TV's) Does this mean that it's now double the required work, or is it just something you need to keep in mind while still animating at 25FPS? If you have to animate twice as much, is it just same technique but more effort, or does higher frame rate require different techniques than traditional animation?

I rewatched the timeline-split episode (s02e01) with my brother last night, seeing Rick getting paranoid about some other timeline version of him plotting to kill him and then he starting to plot killing the other Rick first made me think that it would make a great concept for a Mafia game. Same with the Citadel of Ricks episode.

Venture Bros (For me it peaked in the third season, and was completely unwatchable by the sixth, but your mileage may vary) Protagonist looks super confident but actually hates himself? Bojack Horseman People being mean to Jerry, even when he doesn't deserve it: Archer

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Oh there's lots and lots of differences, but OPM is totally a Jerry. If anything, Saitama is more like Rick than anyone else in R&M. They both represent the apex of power in their respective genres; Rick is the most intelligent person in a sci-fi universe, while Saitama is the strongest in an anime world. In fact, they are so much more powerful than anyone else, that any kind of conflict provides just a minor distraction that is immediately forgotten as they slide back into their empty lives. They balk at anyone trying to get close to them, and spend their time just escaping, either by living a sedentary lifestyle (Saitama), or indulging their addictions (Rick). The shows are completely different though and I would never suggest OPM to someone as a follow up to R&M. Do watch it if you want to see a funny and loving deconstruction of the shonen genre that comes with a few strings attached, but don't expect to have your mind blown.

Any animation made to pander and/or sell merchandise to nerds and kids will inevitably be just enough quality to not drive people away with disgust. Western animation in the 80's was saturated with this (mainly Hanna-Barbera shows), and even today you will find many low effort 3D productions aimed at children. Japanese animation today is the same, with the addition of shows aimed at man-children. Some of it is good though. Like One Punch Man. Just don't watch it because someone in the Rick and Morty thread told you to because that's a silly suggestion. Watch it because you find a bald nerd making bug's heads explode with a single punch inherently funny.

sticklefifer posted:Nah let's just keep talking about last season. Hey guys remember that screaming sun, that was great. Can someone please explain why they didn't want to stay on Everything-On-The-Cob Planet??? I didn't understand that scene. Was it because they would turn into on-the-cob people if they stayed there? If that's the case, then does it mean that the planet was residing in a separate dimension where everything is on the cob? But then, how could they go there in a normal spaceship, I thought only Rick's ship could travel between dimensions. Feels like there were more scenes there that were explaining this but they were cut. Are there any articles that go into more depth about Everything-On-The-Cob World? Seems like an important part in the R&M mythos, and the creator's silence on the matter is suspicious. Maybe they want to expand on the cob world in the third season.

Nothing would be safe to eat, pollen in the air wouldn't be safe to breathe. Why couldn't the writers just say it! I am not a goddamned cob-physicist for gently caress's sake!

Couldn't you at least go out to some neighbors you have some at least tenuously friendly relationship with and give them some candy to give to your kid when it comes over? No one will say no to your face even if they hate your guts otherwise, and your kid gets sweets it can eat without becoming a target for bullying the next day.
