Yeah, it's not an "I win" button for one side in an argument, but rather it exists so that no arbitrary "I win" button can be used by either side. The best evidenced argument wins.

However, I think it's also fun to look at the line from a different angle, as an idea that's fun to kick around. (Particularly given the controversy around the character's casting.) It's a reading, and a fun one. That's all.

The 90's were a good time for comics. Image had a good run but it feels like they're a bit spent right now. I'm not following anything these days, except I'm keeping an eye on Die. Superheroes are pretty eugh played out for me. This show was pretty good though. Very much a classic Rick and Morty and it made me laugh a lot, particularly the reveal with the Shoot Me Shoot Me guy.

Bust Rodd posted:I’m having a really hard time believing that the average porn user in 2021 isn’t fully tuned into their specific kinks or tastes. I suspect you're imaging them being too much like you, as opposed to being a young adult who isn't set in their ways (or, you know, particularly experienced). That, and people get bored and kinks change. I feel really patronising saying this to you, and I hope it doesn't come across that way.

Im sensing that most of you haven't had much experience with school since you were in school, yeah? Man, it was only a couple of years ago when I was fishing favourite books out of storm drains and giving kids time out because they think calling someone a lesbian is a cool way to hurt someone's feelings. Bullying happens, it's rampant, and kids learn a lot of strategies to hide behaviour from adults. Bullying isn't cool, per se, but the popular kids absolutely use their power to hurt others for fun. Others lash out, or begin campaigns of harassment. Others are just isolated and stigmatised, often for factors beyond that child's control -- like poor hygiene, maladjusted social skills, or being poor, ugly or otherwise unusual. It doesn't look like 80's bullying, but it's still basically the same thing. It's just the tools and social mores that have changed.

Oh poo poo, I forget you guys have two "highschool" tiers. We just have the one, a full six year experience, usually with most of the same cohort -- which means that things can (and do) go very sour.

Show loves continuity episodes, they do two every season -- one Evil Morty/Citadel arc episode, and one Birdperson/Galactic Federation episode. The second Beth stuff seems to be another recurring element they've added to the roster as well; she's made at least one appearance a season since her introduction. Rick doesn't like "canon" (which is different from continuity) because he relates his life through serialised drama metaphors and he hates being reminded of (and therefore pinned down to) his past. The episode (and the season) spelled this out pretty clearly, I thought. And we're so clearly not done with continuity LMAO. The episode raised a bunch of new questions. Whatever. I loved a lot of this episode, but I thought it was fundamentally flawed in ways that I found deeply frustrating. The idea that Eyepatch Morty would provide some sort of escape line from the Citadel, a secret test of character for the Ricks, feels a bit dumb and out of character, and I don't believe that our Rick would save all those slave Mortys. And, on the more important, metaphorical level, I get what the episode was getting at but I reject it. I think reaching out and finding the human connection has limits, and those limits are on this side of the genocidal child endangerer line. Also LOL at the "Why wouldn't you just kill the big bad now, instead of 100 episodes in" gag during the anime parody. (Though, again, that was answered in the episode itself.)

Ugly In The Morning posted:Roiland’s recent non-Harmon projects (Trover Saves the Universe and Solar Opposites) have been really good. I’m not sure how much he writes for Solar Opposites because he only has one writing credit but it’s got a bunch of his writing quirks all over, but I think working on R+M has tempered a lot of his old approach. I'm interested in seeing what this second run of stories from (i.e. the third season of) Solar Opposites is like, given that it'll have been written during the pandemic.

I thought Vindicators 2 was pretty good. I liked the stylistic choice to go with a handful of wordless episodes / sequences, and the episodes were pithy. The whole euthanasia conversation was excellent, probably my favourite bit of Rick and Morty sociopathic nonsense in a season or so. And the dialogue in the Noob Noob episode had a pleasant dream logic to it. Not all the sequences worked overly, episode 2 felt like it just randomly trailed off and the entire thing suffers from some classic prequel issues IMO. But it mostly worked for me, and I'm always happy to have Gilliam Jacobs / Lance Reddick turn up in things. Also Season 5 has some pretty lovely episodes, but Raising Gazorpazorp has to be down there too.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Surprisingly yes! Hulu has picked it up for a 20 episode run a full ten years after it was cancelled. Initially John DiMaggio wasn't going to come back because he was holding out to get a pay raise for him and the rest of the cast (and he was right to do so, voice actors are so under paid), but a deal was struck and he's onboard now. Just for clarification, what specifically happened was that DiMaggio folded and accepted the initial offer Disney made. No one got what they deserved.

I laughed very hard at the implication that every culture comes up with their own term for a "Die Hard", but they apparently all share the Nakatomi Plaza as a common cultural touchstone. Tbh I didn't get any religious stuff from the Summer plot. It's funnier if this is a weird, observable phenomena, or just someone's wild sociological thesis -- and if the episode was actually doing "religion" as a theme there, they'd definitely have said something specific, which I don't think they did?

I'm never gonna remember any of the loving stupid names this show has, other than The Vat Of Acid Episode. Kinda hope every episode in the show's final season is just titled "Rick And Morty". Not, "Rick any Morty 1" or "Rick and Morty 2", etc. Just "Rick and Morty". If we're talking worst episodes of the show, then the two that stick out in my mind for being the most ugly are the sex planet one and the Beth and Jerry spa day one. Whatever they're called. Vindicators was pretty good IMO. The pay off with the train is gold.

Yeah actually I'd agree. I'd put it in my Top Ten. It's not as good as the battery episode, or the Tales from the Citadel episode, or Pickle Rick IMO. But I certainly think about it more than a lot of the other ones. I've really come to like the show actually, after being super ambivalent on the first two seasons. I'm glad I stuck with the show.
