Will it ever regain its former glory?
>>152919346Kek fuck no
>>152919346Only if you could turn back time to 2015
>>152919346I don't think I've ever seen a cartoon enter zombie mode as fast as Rick and Morty did. Only 2 good seasons, the third being hit and miss, and then a sharp decline afterwards. We couldn't even get a 30 episode golden age
unwatchable with the new voice actors
>>152919346>Makes a big announcement about how he's going to "restore his good name" 3 years ago >Has done nothing sinceRealistically speaking, what can he do?>Inb4: sueCompanies can fire you for whatever reason they want. Not only that but his name and vanity logo still appears on episodes to this day so he's probably getting paid
>>152919346What glory? This has been the same shit for a decade. From the beginning to now, the only difference is that you got bored with it and stop sucking its dick for being "smart".
>>152919567I think its fucked up how roilands whole reputation and career was ruined by some vindictive cunt exes lies and the whole internet believed her even though the whole case was thrown out of court with prejudice. Fuck cancel culture
>>152919754What about him texting minors though
>>152919567I wonder if he and Alex Hirsch still talk. Hirsch was awfully quiet during the whole ordeal.
>>152919774I dont think theres enough evidence for those claims and thats ancillary to the original claim that got him fired, that abuse claim was debunked and thrown out of court ergo roiland should've been given his old job back and been given and apology but from my understanding adult swim was looking for any excuse to get rid of him for years by that point
>>152919418>I don't think I've ever seen a cartoon enter zombie mode as fast as Rick and Morty did.Harmon admires zombie Simpsons. What he wanted was a safe, boring gig where he could shovel slop and earn a steady paycheck.
>>152919346Not anymore thanks to roiland firing.
>>152919346Sadly no
>>152919346Say what you will about Roiland as a person, he was the special sauce that made Rick & Morty work, and without him the show just isn't the same. Like how you can't do a Buffy or Firefly revival without Joss Whedon.
>>152919346Nobody gives a shit anymore.
>>152924019They’re trying to do a fire fly revival and make it animated.
>>152924019Firefly was always pretentious shit tho, whedon always sucked and sci-fi that intentionally leaves out aliens because whedon is a retard redditor who thinks aliens are "le unrealistic" is the same type of bland grounded bullshit that made inspired the buzz lightyear spin off movie to be so lifeless and boring
>>152924019The show went to shit long before he left
>>152919346Literally impossible. Loads of people have grown sick of Rick and Morty. Best they can do now is commit to some lore payoff and bow out with at least SOME dignity intact. I know they're capable, but it all depends on how greedy Harmon is feeling at the end of the day.
>>152919346>creator who also voiced both MCs is usurped by new feminist hiresLet it fucking go anon, it's long dead and never coming back. It stopped being good before he even left.
>>152924366this
>>152919346>>152924019I think something nobody really wants to admit is that even at its best Rick and Morty was like a 7/10 cartoon. It was always too up its own ass, too obsessed with appearing smart, to reach the highs of something like, to compare it to a better animated sci-fi sitcom, Futurama. The show only got worse as the writers forgot that Rick wasn't designed to be sympathetic or the voice of reason.
>>152924487>always too up its own ass, too obsessed with appearing smartHow was that true in the first season? That was full of movie parodies with the twist it was always doing at least two at the same time.
>>152919346This and Solar Opposites aged like fucking shit.
>>152919902The abuse claim was never debunked, even thought he said that to all of his fans and then tried to ignore all of the times he was caught trying to fuck underage fans. Also, his ex never sued him or "made claims." It was the state going after him for domestic abuse, this means that his ex went to the police and they had enough proof of physical abuse to do their own investigation which led to a trial. It was not a financial lawsuit or some petty claim.Justin did what any rich guy with high power attorneys does - exhaust the court system by delaying court dates for months so that the trial goes on for years, and then work with attorneys to try to reframe the story so that his ex "was asking for it" until eventually the state drops the case and cuts their financial losses and moves on. Justin had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to literally get out of jail and face repercussions for his actions, but he was never found innocent. He used the case being dropped as a way to pretend to his fans that he was innocent though.The guy is a fucking loser and he lurks 4chan, probably pretending to be his own fans to clear his name. He lost tremendously.
>>152924584>The abuse claim was never debunked>Also, his ex never sued him or "made claims."

It was not a financial lawsuit or some petty claim.Oh..... i didnt know any of this. I always thought it was just one of his exes being a vindictive cunt who was caught up in the #metoo fervor and wanted her fifteen minutes of fame and a shit ton of cash. I never knew it was the state pushing the case and not the woman herself. All these years i thought roiland was just another victim of the #mehturd misandry witch hunt but i guess i was wrong. Fuck...
Bring Justin back
>>152919346Probably not. I feel like Roiland brought the show's sauce and the more his role was minimized the more it started to suck. Then immediately after he got shitcanned the quality cratered completely to the point where there might have been a handful of episodes I might have liked in the later Roiland seasons there was zero I felt more than lukewarm about.
>>152919346Not with the new voices
>>152925648I feel like the dude who plays Rick is mostly fine now but the dude who does Morty has never once gotten close.
>>152919346Has any adult cartoon done just that?
>>152919346It would have to get super experimental and outside its comfort zone, so no.>>152919418Ren and Stimpy>>152919945It's a shame, because he actually is a very good writer and showrunner.
>>152919346The show is currently the best it's been in years. Not as good as season 1, but the worst era of the show is years behind it and this is not a hard conclusion to come to by watching the show
grass tastes bad
>>152924103The show went to shit when he left the writer's room and mentally checked himself out to cash a paycheck.
>>152925841retard
>>152926298newfag
>>152924584>He lost tremendously. Adult Swim likely still pays Roiland fat checks on the downlow and are obligated to keep crediting him as Executive Producer even as we approach the episodes produced entirely without his involvement, at least for the rest of the 70-episode order they're still finishing up. Justin Roiland may have been a careless boss who sparked tons of resentment from his employees, but he'll stay filthy rich off the voice-acting residuals, he probably still secretly keeps in touch with longtime peers like Alex Hirsch or Myke Chilian, and he still has thousands of employed artists drawing His characters in His style mimicking His style of humour. Even with all those burned bridges, dude still made his mark on the world and is set for life. He hit it big in Hollywood, bounced after coming under fire, and now literally gets paid to sit on his ass, all while still having some fans singing his praises and saying the show "got bad after he left." Justin Roiland kind of won, actually. He played us all.
>>152919346Last season was so phoned in it was barely watchable.
>>152926298alright
>>152919346>Will it ever regain its former glory?probably not, but maybe we'll get a couple good fetish scenes/episodes before it all ends
>>152919346it never lost it
>>152919346posts like this are the zeihan of /co/. just replace china with rick and morty
>>152919774>minorsit was one 16 yo if iirc, not plural. and the only reason anyone gives a shit is because it's a young woman. if salma hayek fucked a 15 year old guy the whole world would be giving the guy high fives. age of consent is 16 and 17 in most u.s. states and european countries. 16 yos know right from wrong. virtue signallling.
>>152924584>did what any rich guy does - exhaust the court system because he has the money to and doesn't get screwed over as easy as working class menfify>he losthe still gets paid. try again.
>>152919418That's a near identical trajectory as Family Guy, but at least that had the excuse of cancelation.
>>152919346it never had any
>>152927291>he still gets paidSo do Weinstein, Cosby, and P Diddy. You can have their life exactly where they are today, would you still consider it a win?
>>152919346 yes but space Beth needs to get rap/murdered
i only lasted 3-4 minutes into the first episode of rick and mortybut i'm on season 2 or 3 of solar opposites, that show is fun
I will ride Justin Roiland's dick forever
>>152919346I honestly think it's gotten better overtime.
>>152919754He drew shota porn of Barron Trump didn't he?Him and Rebbecah Sugar need to be stood against the wall
>>152928474Lmfao based justin
>>152919567>Realistically speaking, what can he do?Shitty short animations on YouTube cause he’s cast enough reasonable doubt with his crimes that he still has his fans. Either that or sit on his ass and collect money until he dies from alcohol poisoning at 52
>>152919346no
This show had 2 good seasons and the Bushworld Adventure video. Everything else is cringe politically biased dogshit
>>152919346It never lost it in the first place.
>>152925791>he actually is a very good writer and showrunnerHe can be. Community also had two great seasons and a third hit and miss season, and then a decline even after he came back for season five and six. I dunno what it is about that guy, maybe it's the alcohol
>>152928863I agree, bushworld adventures was the last funny rick and morty thing officially released. Ghetto smosh's redub of i think the season 7 trailer is the last funny rick and morty related thing in general that was ever releasedhttps://youtu.be/q9xHC6AySBM?si=xtnm0jZnaEMlt_we
>>152926597Season 8 really didn't leave much of an impact on me. A couple highlights, sure, but it's kind of just... there. I will say I was surprised to see one of the better episodes was penned by Nick Rutherford of all people
>>152927277sexting 1 minor is still being a pedo.
>>152925791Seasons 3 and 4 of Ren and Stimpy while a downgrade, were still decent imo 5 is where they stopped trying
Wabadadubdub
>>152929543https://desuarchive.org/co/search/image/TJrvPZj0BtQZW-ey4NPbhw/>Post this meme 18 times since last December.>Same shit, other than two other anons posting the same image.Is this anon the new Ninja Craig anon?
>>152919790>>152926479idk about Hirsch, but he def still keeps in touch with the Smiling Friends creators. he mentored both those guys https://youtu.be/ui6J5TMPmlE https://youtu.be/kbYYVkekEU4
>>152927277Men and women are not the sameIts not a double standard that teenage boys fucking hot older women isnt seen the same as ugly old jewish men perving on teenage girls
>>152930143Don't care as long as women have the right to vote. Muh not same no longer works if we're giving these overgrown toddlers the right to change the country.
>>152929451hehehe "penned"
>>152930204Nta but i really dont care, get over it 16 year olds put out all the time so stop mcwhining if you get flirted by some older dude
>>152930204Your mysoginy has no place on this boardLeave
>>152927587I like Solar Opposties even after the voice change but man does the The Wall storyline got old quick.
>>152919346>gloryAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>152930204>admitting to being groomed by online grifters
>>152930211?
>>152927587Did they ever make real-life versions of Terry's novelty shirts as merch? Seems like a no-brainer
>>152919346Hellznah
>>152919346Season 9?! I thought the creator/voice guy was fired
>>152924019I'll repost what I said the other day>Roiland was always punk during the channel 101 days, so I guess it makes sense why he acted like a rockstar at peak popularity and just fucked off. That's not good but I get itRoiland and Harmon IMO worked best in the underground scene making stupid parodies and shitpost Newgrounds-tier shows, those were oozing with soul. I just don't see Roiland really working in the corporate entertainment world nearly as well, or at least his works aren't as fun for me and he didn't seem to be handling the fame super constructively. Not like I can judge how I would handle the fame, but this all in service of talking about why his show, even if he were still in it, wouldn't be the same. House of Cosbys ftw
>>152927321Wrong.
>>152936872When will the lost episodes of house of cosbys resurface?
>>152919567>Realistically speaking, what can he do?stop beating women. its funny how the show started winning awards once he left
>>152938655It's funny how the Emmys stopped even nominating the show after a while.
>>152926873If we're talking popularity, the S9 announcement didn't excite as many people as it would even five years ago. If we're talking quality, the show's the prettiest it's ever looked and it seems like the writers all have a unified vision for where to take things but my GOD does the comedy feel lacking 70% of the time now. The characterization of Morty has also taken a hit.
>>152924019>Say what you will about Roiland as a person He's a great voice actor, but a meh everything else https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN1bJ7ffBQQ
>>152919346Hell Naw!
>>152938573Wait, there are actual lost episodes?
>>152919346Rick and Morty will never be like season 1 ever again.
>>152919346No, it was fresh and unique when it first released, but now that it's gone through its explosion of popularity and massive drop-off, the show has hit the slow but steady decline phase, might get a small spike if we get nostalgia period in a couple years.
>>152941093Yes, when bill cosby sent a C&D years back a bunch of episodes got wiped online and are now lost media. IIRC some were even produced but never released or at least never posted online. I wish they would get released someday.
>>152941639I still think it's lame Cosby did that. If I were him I'd be so flattered, I'd offer to cameo
>>152941697The dude was always a stick in the mud faggot. Remember when he was complaining about rap "corrupting da youth" all the time in the 2000s and whinging over black kids using the n-word in jest, all the while he was raping bitches left and right behind the publics back? Fucking psycho hypocrite. Fuck bill cosby, he got what he deserved. Im glad his legacy is some schizo masturbating to his cartoon persona from now on.
>>152941697>>152941719It's one thing being a fuddy duddy but I also understand why he as a rapist wanted to get something weirdly sexualized (Cosbyette, Curiosity Cosby, Evil Cosby) associated with his likeness.
>>152919346>former gloryYou being stupid is the only joke this how has ever told.
>>152942032*unassociated
>>152941584I feel like Roiland's firing happening RIGHT before the show's 10-year anniversary really hurt adultswim's chances at banking on nostalgia. Where there might have once been plans to have some anniversary featurette set for late 2023 was now a mission to hide everything they could about a shaky production that'd been made public. Maybe they'll try again for the 20th anniversary
>>152929884
>>152927680kinda sus
>>152944657>more ez-pz/E;R level smear campaign rumors about animatorsYawn, get better material /pol/
>>152944710Yeah, the manlet totally doesn't have a history of really questionable shit (please don't look for the trash can incident please please please)
>>152944736Oh wow hes partying with some girls how scandalous Youre just like luke weber in that youre just jealous you werent invited to the animator sex parties and like luke you probably wouldve pulled a knife on dana if she rejected you too. Kill yourself faggot
>>152944810Relax Alex, you already know you aren't getting a sequel to GF beyond book form. No need to defend your actions anymore.
>>152944856Theres alot of legitimate reasons to hate the manlet but we all know the only reasons you have grievances against hirsch is because he dared to say mean things against your bloated turnip idol on xitter, stay mad redneck
>>152944887Couldn't care less about his TDS. But his twitter shit is interesting for other reasons
>>152944911Oh youre one of those freaks. jesus was a fraud and a fake and alex is mocking retards like you, fuck off conspiratorial nutjob
>>152944951I wasn't even talking religiously. But I'm sure this kind of man is safe to show to my kids. After all, all he has ever shown is logical stuff all kids should learn!
>>152944982If youre gonna bitch about cartoons like some soccer mom PTA karen bitch then why dont you fuck off to facebook where all you boomer slime belong? Or better yet fuck off to /pol/ where your rabble belongs
>>152944982That was obviously some mush-mouthed half answer to retarded grooming victims online so they wouldn't kick up dirt and have a melty when he told them they're retarded for making Dipper an icon for their pseudo-religion. It was a smart move, but cynical one nonetheless.
>>152945055>muh groomerKill yourself
>>152945080You first, cultist
What's his endgame?
