Chris James 2 posted:Variety reports that Adult Swim has “‘no timing to share on premiere or status of production’ at this time” regarding season 4 Uh, I was pretty sure this was tongue-in-cheek. I don't think that even an Adult Swim writer is going to go on the record telling his higher-ups to get their poo poo together.

I like this show. I think the first two seasons were good and I think the last season was good. I don't think there's really any chance of not getting a fourth season. It's way more likely they're still in negotiations and this whole thing is just putting a little more pressure on Adult Swim. Like, I don't think there's any chance Adult Swim doesn't pick it up, but even if in some alternate universe they didn't, wouldn't Netflix and Comedy Central and a ton of other channels jump at the chance? This show was like the biggest nerd hit of the last couple years. It's enormous.

Why specifically Parks and Rec? I mean, I enjoyed (the first couple seasons of) Community as much as anyone but I can think of a dozen TV shows that were better just off the top of my head. It's not even as though it's the same subject matter or setting. God forbid this dude watches The Wire.

I've tried to watch Final Space, but I haven't been able to get into it. I'm not sure why, I dig space stuff, but I think it's a little too off-the-wall for how serious some of the storylines are. The main character is just too coked-out zany to really empathize with, I think. It apparently got renewed, so what do I know, but I don't think it has anywhere near 7 seasons of lasting appeal. And that's my career advice based on watching a couple hours of cartoons.

Invalid Validation posted:Just cause nerds ran it into the ground doesn’t mean it’s not good. That's what I was gonna say! I thought Pickle Rick was hilarious and one of the most fun episodes of the season. I hate that I feel bad about liking it now that the nerds seized on it as their new (non)mating cry.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:Anyone can write ultra-violence. Not every show can write "a man is so lame that he doesn't realize he is trapped in a simulation that is running at 5% power and glitching out all around him." Yeah, one of my least-favorite episodes is the Purge planet for that reason, among others. I didn't mind that Pickle Rick was so action-focused because it was done with a lot of thought and humor. Even the Family Guy chicken gag was pretty good the first time around, and I don't remember complaining that there was a 5 minute Die Hard fistfight in the middle of my comedy show.

No, it definitely had some good bits. But compared to Pickle Rick, it's a lot more generic and gratuitous with its violence. Killing people with lasers in a generic-looking robot suit isn't as fun to watch as a cobbled-together monstrosity built from rat bones and sewer trash screwing a Phillips-head into a giant rat's skull and then swapping to an exacto blade to cut another one in half.

I think if you comb through social media archives from ten years ago, half the comedians and creative types in Hollywood are going to have something objectionable to find. We are way more sensitive to that kind of thing than we were even a few years ago, and these people are always pushing up against the boundaries of good taste as part of their job. It's not surprising at all that a crude but allowable joke in 2009 sounds much worse today. We just got finished marveling at the amount of gay and pedo jokes in the early Venture Brothers seasons over in that thread, come to think of it.

I can't get over that post about how hmmm James Gunn invented Baby Groot and then made him dance for us and get tortured. I really hope that was a joke. They're motherfucking writers. Most humor is about the shocking punchline, it's no surprise that comedy types are going to cross the line sometimes when they try to come up with comedy. But the line moves all the time and now your last ten or twenty years worth of edgy bullshit is on the internet forever and looks a lot worse in hindsight.

OmegaBR posted:With said suits more sensitive than ever, hopefully people will learn to be less reactionary and more forgiving as a result. Because nobody wants to see their favorite creator get suppressed or fired simply because of their creation (something abhorrent they said on their personal twitter is perhaps another matter.) This is the thing that kinda scares me, because I feel like Harmon's video is the sort of thing that falls under crazy artists trying to create art, and I feel like we definitely need people to be free to create Doc and Mharti if we're gonna get stuff like Rick and Morty. I don't want whatever crazy artist who's gonna come up with the next nerd sensation never get out of his basement because his early stuff had baby rape jokes and he was too afraid to post it and get criticism to refine his work.

Bust Rodd posted:Justin Roiland’s turn in the “Oh my God you used to make WHAT!? kinds of videos?” spotlight. I can't stop laughing jfc. They say it's too graphic to share, and then give a hysterically straight-faced, line-by-line description of exactly what happens in the video, and oh my god it's just the most unrestrained Justin Roiland garbage video that gets worse and worse with each sentence holy poo poo. I'm cracking up again. Then they mention that this came out in 2012. Of course, no one's mentioned it till now. If they wanted to find sick Justin Roiland content they just need to fire up Doc and Mharti for gently caress's sake. He's been famous for years now, and his weird poo poo is right in the open. It's also a little disturbing that they attempt to make him out as a criminal, because from their own line-by-line description, everything about it screams to me that this is the art of someone with serious psychiatric issues. It's like poking fun at a cancer patient.

CelticPredator posted:Rick and Morty fandom was super chill and awesome up until 2016. Every time I met some costumed fellas, we'd all drink and laugh and talk about the show. It just got popular enough that it started to get a lot of media coverage, and now the stupid nerdy poo poo that terrible nerds are doing get publicized as the face of the fandom, and the terrible nerds are encouraged to do it because its popular enough that someone's going to understand their screaming "I'm Pickle Rick" in a crowded McDonalds.

Funkmaster General posted:Google's gotten better at this sort of thing, I think. As a child my personal first experience with porn was from a google search (or possibly a hotbot search; I am an old man by internet standards) for Pokemon, a fanbase that is not nearly as skeevy as the adult MLP fanbase. Huh, now that's kind of an interesting comparison. Why isn't Pokemon's fanbase nearly as awful? There's even actual non-pony women in the cartoon.

Cojawfee posted:It was a marketing thing to promote their new chicken strips. They made up some cool art for each sauce flavor to put on the packets and made some posters. A small batch of the meme sauce was created and the art for it was vaguely reminiscent of Rick and Morty but it wasn't official in any sense. It was only about chicken strips. I thought it was surprisingly shady for as large a corporation as McDonalds (well, surprisingly visible), they were so obviously trying to ride the wave of the Rick and Morty premiere without having to pay for the licensing. Their chicken strip/sauce promotion for some reason featured sci-fi art that could easily show up behind one of Rick's portals and mentions of alternate dimensions and "the multiverse", except they bent over backwards to avoid any specific mention of the show. They released this really awkwardly-worded podcast after it went so badly in which they kept talking about "the fans" without ever using the words "Rick and Morty" or "Dan Harmon". The whole thing felt like their lawyers had gone over every piece of copy, which made it feel kinda sleazy even before the morons showed up in droves. e: basically the effective sleazeball lawyer version of what the idiots with the bar tried to do.

dr_rat posted:As Rick and Morty specifically mentioned, and not just off handledly, McDonald's and a specific product it's not [s]quite[/is] as dodgy as them doing it apropos of nothing like the diner. Actually, I think it's scummier for McDonalds to do it than that little bar. I can imagine a couple excited but stupid bar owners who just wanted to dress up their bar like Rick and Morty, even if they'd known how to go about getting licensing, who knows if Adult Swim would have paid any attention to some tiny little bar? Whereas McDonalds is literally the largest restaurant chain in the entire world, with a full staff of lawyers and PR people to tell them exactly how to go about licensing (or how to write their copy so they can't be sued), and Adult Swim is drat well going to pay attention if McDonalds approaches them about putting Rick and Morty in thousands of restaurants around the world. It would have been very easy for them to have done the right thing and set up an official promotion, much easier than the bar owners would have had it. e: actually, it says the bar owners DID contact Adult Swim but yep, got completely ignored and never heard back from them...so they decided to go ahead anyway lol Phenotype fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Aug 24, 2018 |

Android Blues posted:It's absolutely more Doctor Who than BttF. Harmon loves Doctor Who and Rick & Morty seems like his incredibly depressed take on it, at times. Yep, to the point where I thought it was a little too on-the-nose in the scene when Rick's staring down the President and Secret Service and actually says "I'm Doctor Who up in this bitch!" Doctor Who always had the same feel of not really being involved in the world around him, just a visitor who could go literally anywhere in the universe, and thinks on a very large scale, but likes to stay tied to humanity to keep him grounded. Rick is the alcoholic, self-centered version of that character who hops around the multiverse having adventures and tries to stay involved in the lives of his family because he knows he gets even more jaded and self-destructive when he's all alone.

Justin Roiland's creepy art has a very strange shield that protects it from SJW-style criticism, in that it's immediately and obviously identifiable as the creative output of someone with serious and possibly debilitating mental issues. Are you really going to start a crusade to destroy the support system this poor guy uses to cope with extreme mental illness?

By the way, Trover Saves The Universe comes out on Friday! I don't know how many of you guys have VR headsets, but Justin Roiland's really dived into it headfirst, made his own dev studio and everything. There was a branded Rick and Morty adventure game that was pretty good, and let you walk around Rick's garage poking through everything and go through some portals to solve puzzles. And a game called Accounting+ that's more unfiltered Roiland -- a little more censored than I'd expect though, he's obviously got a Harmon-like presence at his studio that tells him he can't include all the poo poo fetish and pedophile stuff in his first drafts. Trover will be the third VR game he's put out in the last two or three years -- this one's built for VR, but it's playable on regular PS4 too. I watched the first ten minutes a while back and it seemed pretty funny. It's loving wild to actually be in a Justin Roiland universe in virtual reality.

Mediocre episode. Not awful, but the Summer/Beth parts were just not that funny, and the Rick solo adventure felt a little too unrestrained Roiland monkeycheese, reminded me of playing Accounting+ or Trover Saves The World (especially when they showed off Toilet Heaven.) I really liked the Morty/Jerry bits, though, I would have watched a whole episode of them and the aliens that had no sense of urgency.

I... kinda like the Funko Pops? I don't actually own any, but over the years I've had a wide selection of nerd bullshit that exists to sit on a desk or shelf and get looked at once in a while. Some of it transforms into a car, some of it can pose in karate stances, some of it doesn't do anything but sit there. I think some of the Pops are kinda cool-looking, and they seem about as useful as any of the other nerd bullshit that sits on my desk.  My buddy has a glass display case with some anime figures, and I got him a Rick and a Meeseeks Funko last year for the holidays to put in there. Now I feel like a dumb bad loser and a terrible friend.  e: that dude with the 45min Youtube video and the entire room full of Funko boxes is ridiculous, though. What the hell.
