I think Jerry's gonna commit suicide at the end of the season.

I don't know about "doesn't play well with others" being something that could apply to all of them.

I don't know if I agree with Rick's analysis of Jerry. The way he's been characterized, he doesn't come across as a clever manipulator who plays on pity; he comes across as a dude who is just not all that capable and as such is pitiable.

The possibility that I feel for Jerry because I feel like I resemble him more than anyone else in the cast burns in my mind.

Except that we know from the first cable episode that Jerry and Beth didn't get together and didn't have Summer in almost every other universe.

Which, now that I think about it, totally contradicts the premise of Jerry Daycare.

Agh, I hated that - it undermines the there's-my-grave scene from IDC1 (if they actually did end up running from the squirrels. )

Gotta say, I was massively underwhelmed by that episode, to the point I would say it was one of the worst of the series.

Froopyland served as irrelevant scenery as Beth discovered she was a psycho kid who left another kid to rot in imagination land, judged him for his decision to create and eat his children out of a need for survival, refused to apologize for it, realized she was indeed her father, and used this realization to gleefully slaughter all the life she was responsible for. But it's all cool because she's TINY RICK! She's not evil, she's smart! She could get a clone and go off and explore the universe ! And honestly, I don't think she did, which makes her awesome because she gave all that up to be with her family. Aww.

It all just reads like self-serving fanfiction. The adventure, the crazy settings, the wacky gadgets, the kooky creatures/aliens - it's all pointless when we can have the characters hash out their feelings for twenty minutes. And Beth comes out a badass as cool as Rick all because she realized she is his daughter. Sorry, but she was the most interesting character that had the least amount of screen time, and now it's like Rick says every other episode (which is a problem in of itself:) everything pointless, nothing matters. Her character is unchanged, her marriage is unchanged, her relationship with her father is seemingly unchanged (especially with the free pass of wondering if she's the clone or not.)

Why is it even an option for Beth, if she wants to leave why didn't they all just gently caress off with her,

OmegaBR posted:

As if Summer forcing him to admit he's a "closet racist, sexist beta male" wasn't cheap and terrible. Or Beth visiting her childhood fantasy land only for a brief few moments so she could realize she's just like her dad and gleefully slaughter the boy she abandoned there, justified by the idea that she's not evil but smart, didn't read like someone's bad fanfiction.

I'm not saying no one is actually good, there are shitloads of actually good people who aren't deluding themselves. But you'll find very few "bad people who know they're bad."

Here's my baseless fan theory: the US didn't have a superscience division until the President met rick. He was so impressed by him that he started funneling defense dollars into gunmechs and fight kids and lovely portals.

nothing about the weirdo jumping on the counter and naruto running away looks the least bit genuine. it is totally a bit he did for the sake of his friend(s) who are recording the video.

The two hour argument loop was the only ‘bit’ that didn’t land for me. The writing doesn’t make it clear what broke the loop, so I got no payoff.

Yeah, the action scenes are only really worth doing when they make them interesting. The Pickle Rick episode was the peak of this, in my opinion -- it wasn't just Rick fighting a bunch of people, it was an intricately-designed power armor suit made out of rat skeletons and sewer trash plugged into a pickle who was killing rats with a variety of cobbled-together weapons like exacto blades and screws, or firing Duracell-powered cannons and binding up his wounds with bits from a leftover sandwich. Shooting people with lasers is fun but boring and generic, I'm here for the funny sci-fi poo poo like the intricate high-tech cannon that deploys out of Rick's arm only to fire a suction-tipped dart to steal the other guy's gun.

There have been no “bad” seasons of Rick & Morty. The worst, dullest season of Rick & Morty is still funnier than the next most interesting cartoon on TV.

Sperm episode complainers are church-going crybabies who got their bonnets twisted up in their knickers.

I couldn’t even finish Solar Opposites S2 because the Middleditch sex club stuff bummed me out so bad, it was all I could think of while trying to laugh at the other characters, so I guess that piece of poo poo ruined that show for me, lol.

My only issue with Mr Frundles is that I've heard Roiland use that same voice a dozen times now.

Wait, did people here not like the after-credits scene? I thought it was as funny as the rest of the episode.

The content and context of the twitter account @MartyAmericaUSA seem to pretty heavily imply that the above linked screenshots from them specifically were faked, probably to poke fun at how wondering aloud whether or not they're faked will probably immediately have you accused of discrediting victims of assault.

It's not something I endorse, to be clear.

Watch the show or don't watch the show, no one really cares what you do aside from yourself. But don't get into a whole existential crisis about Rick and Morty of all things, it's fine to simply not watch this cartoon if you feel conflicted at all. Move on. And don't act like you're doing the universe a cosmic favour by still watching it through piracy.

Yes, they will certainly reference it or they won't.

He does end the run because he (rightfully imo) notices all the problems he's ranting about are rich people problems. That's got to be grinding to do in front of an audience of people in LA undoubtably making peanuts. Was also in a good place having signed the R&M multi-season deal, engaged, and really could only blow it up by getting too drunk and having another Chevy Chase moment.

This guy's remarks make me borderline optimistic for where the show goes post-Roiland. From the outside it seemed like he was integral, but if what he said is true maybe it'll chug along just fine. Will be kind of fascinating to see if the show can survive the PR hit.

I think that one was a fake made by a professional poo poo stirrer

quote:

At some point during the third season of Rick and Morty, multiple sources say Roiland simply stopped showing up — and when he did turn up in the Burbank offices, he’d typically avoid the writers room. In fact, Roiland’s colleagues often knew he was there only because they could hear his dogs. Or they’d hear his remote-control toy car, which had a microphone on top of it, zooming around the office. At least once, Roiland sent it into the writers room, says a source. “You wouldn’t have seen him in weeks, and then you’d see the car come in, which was insane.” Roiland would make exceptions to bring through famous fans, of which Rick and Morty has legions; at various points, his visitors included Kanye West, the comedians on Impractical Jokers and porn star Riley Reid, who gifted the room a succulent.

By that time, Roiland had a girlfriend, who became a fiancée, and he would talk openly about their penchant for threesomes. “It was something we just ignored because it was disgusting,” says an insider. Multiple sources say it was also during that period that Roiland sent a female employee a “really creepy” text, late at night, requesting that she come to his home (they declined to name the staffer). “She didn’t want to run it up the flagpole,” says one of the sources, “and then it was just this really hosed-up, awkward thing.”
