KoRMaK posted:Morty shows too much self-awareness and growth to be an idiot. Yeah, I think the whole show has grown/changed in just one season. At first the family just seemed like they were in the way, now they seem like part of the action and involved. The same way Morty was literally an idiot, now he's I guess... street smart? space smart? inter-dimensionally/alien smart? He's sleeps meters from his own corpse and everyone he knows isn't from his own world (not to mention everyone he's known is a literal monster now), I think his options were either to accept his life is an impossible nightmare and he just needs to roll with it or go crazy.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:Remember who's saying Morty has a learning disability or something: Jerry. The same guy who said the best sex of his life was when the simulated simulation got overloaded and he wound up loving the motionless space-holodeck equivalent of a realdoll that looked like his wife. Plus we don't know why those brainwaves are cancelled out, mortyness isn't idiocy, it's just morty.

Who cares, he posted some design concepts for a ship that was included in the show. He's not asking us to critique them, he's showing us the concepts he drew before he arrived at the final result. I don't see how your opinion of his designs is being requested at all.

JT Jag posted:My theory is that this was an episode featuring a Rick and Morty from a slightly different dimension than the Rick and Morty we usually follow, where Mr. Poopybutthole is a regular character. How do we know the Rick and Morty we've been watching this whole time has been the same Rick and Morty at all?

r0ck0 posted:But the memory of Rick pushing Morty down the stairs is a real memory. Is it though? Mr Poopy Butthole was never in the show before, but suddenly he is and with his introduction we're also introduced to some crisis involving memory alteration. All we know is Morty thinks he figured it out yet one character is still out of place, there's really no reason to believe any of their memories are real or that his hypothesis was correct. Also who knows why Rick pushed Morty down the stairs and made fun of him in front of some girls, that could've been an alternate dimension rick or a robot clone, we don't know the context other than what we saw. Of course that memory could have also been made up too, there's no telling, we have no details other than a bunch of inconsistent actions leading to a pretty awesome depressing ending for Beth.

Giggle Goose posted:I guess that I was referring less to the gun to the head scene and more so to the flashbacks of Rick's cruelty and total disdain for Morty's well being. If you watch those flashbacks carefully, you see that way worse things are happening to Morty than we have ever seen. With the possible exception of the attempted rape that is. Morty's had some pretty hosed up stuff happen to him, in the first episode Rick made him stick a giant seed in his rear end that eventually lead to him being essentially brain dead and in massive pain. Morty's world was turned into monsters and he and Rick just hopped to another dimension and took over their dead double's lives and Rick doesn't care for a second. Rick is pretty hosed up and lets Morty get pretty hosed up, we're not even sure this Morty is the same Morty Rick started with.

Giggle Goose posted:Yeah I agree with this, although the whole Cronenberg universe was at least caused by Morty in some small way and Rick did try to help clean it up, albeit without success. Also, I don't remember an episode where it is implied that Morty might not be the OG Mortiest Morty from C137. Which one is that? In the season 1 intro sequence we see him get left behind as Rick hops through a portal without Morty. Plus Rick implies Rick's just pick up new Morty's when they die in Close Rick-counters Of The Rick Kind (they even have Morty insurance). There are plenty of reasons to believe there is no continuum for our main characters, and it's definitely true that there's no continuum for the side characters.

Megaspel posted:Oh man this leads to a lot of cool monologuing possibilities for evil morty and not-evil morty. "You think you're the first one?". Imagine what that'd do to their relationship. It's a weird relationship, with evil Rick saying "you're crying over a morty", making mortys sound disposable and worthless, which is actually Evil Morty talking about himself, but Rick still seems to care about Summer a little bit, even though it's confirmed, she's at the very least, the second Summer. We're probably on out third Jerry too. I think as Morty explained to Summer, "Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. Everybody’s gonna die. Come watch TV?" I think the best part about the parasites was that they have memories of a ton of close friends/family that no longer exist from now on.

If you don't want to talk about the show maybe you shouldn't seek out a thread about it?

CelticPredator posted:Because everyone is missing the point of a joke. There is a set up, and a punch line. That's it. There isn't anything to theorize or speculate about because it's purpose is to be as clear as possible. It's like if you did this with every joke... Maybe they enjoy things differently than you, maybe it's interesting to some people to wonder why the black man and the KKK member would enter the same bar. Not only that but comedy isn't "just a joke", lots of people analyze jokes all the time, you guys are just being a whiney babies high horsing us.

Metal Ray Sunshine posted:So I dunno if this has been brought up, and there is probably evidence against it, but has it ever been suggested that Beth is one of Rick's former traveling buddies? It would be part of why she is pretty okay with him taking Morty around, cause she knows that he will keep Morty safe, or possibly became a jaded herself. It could also be why he split up with her mom, because she became worried and things just fell apart. I think it's heavily implied that he was an absent father who only recently has been staying with Smith family because of his age.

But you shouldn't push it trying to recreate something great. Harmon does this thing where he listens to the fans and wants to please them, he really needs to just do whatever he wants, that's what his fans really want. The Whole Internet posted:I can't help but wonder if the B-plot with Jerry's 'moral dilemma' is what's secretly turning people off of the episode. I was surprised to find out seemingly half the people on the internet didn't like it--thought it was the worst episode of the show (clearly they've forgotten about Get Schwifty, or Anatomy Park). For me I'd place it somewhere in the middle for season 2. A tad below "Total Rickall" and "The Ricks Must Be Crazy" but better than last week's episode for sure, and a few others. I'm just curious if getting hung up on having to choose between your penis and billion's of peoples lives is the source for the hate on the internet. I really enjoyed Get Schwifty! This episode just wasn't my favorite, still pretty good though.
