I like Rick and Morty
>>154615359I don't like what they did with the evil Morty. A "villain" whose whole motivation is to get away from the shit stain main character and be left alone with his own agency and autonomy was really complying. He never should have shown up again after this moment, because they fucked up his whole character. I unironically think that instead of making more Rick and Morty they should have a done a spin-off series about an aged up Evil Morty and his adventures.
>>154615533I like the concept of a Morty breaking the system and being more than just a side kickI also like regular Mortys learning how to manipulate their Ricks, since it's so incredibly easy once they realize how to do it: just act stupid, pretend to be naive and nice, and you can essentially get your Rick to do anything you want
It's a pretty unoffensive show. I enjoy it. The writers finally realized this is just another serialized sitcom. I'd be surprised if this just another show that ends up never ending like the other cartoon sitcoms.I do enjoy the fact everyone knows they are making a show of no value, but allowed to stretch their abilities once or twice a season for some lore. Makes the le reddit community happy with the illusion there's a plot.
>>154615682>The writers finally realized this is just another serialized sitcom.I think the writers knew this the entire time but the fans thought it was supposed to be an like Invincible or an anime.
>>154615790>>154615682it's always been a serialized sitcom, it just also had a running plot in the background that came to a head, was dealt with, and now they're moving on.
will we ever get a genderbent episode
>>154615814>that came to a head, was dealt with, and now they're moving on.Until Evil Morty dies he will keep coming back.
>>154615945I'm honestly okay with that
>new episode today>barely any activity
>>154616115people are too embarrassed to say they like Rick and Morty now or enjoy the show because of the old fandom and Justin Roiland being a creep or whatever.
>>154615533I would of preferred him interacting with other people from other parts of the multiverse who's just as smart or smarter than rick
>>154615359I really like the new Rick VA.https://youtube.com/shorts/M_XZLDbwB4I?is=ul70bUEl3nHjHuSfThe way he delivers these lines feels overly realistic.
>>154615790>>154615682The show was always very vocal about shunning canon in favor of wacky episodic fun.Rick mocks canon all the time which parallels Harmon's view that canon is a restrictive force that stifles creativity.
>>154616252I hated him at first, but either I got used to it or he got better at doing the voice.
>>154616267you also really have no idea which Rick and Morty you're following, there's no real promise that every episode follows the same pair. so there's a lot you can do with that
>>154615533This. The way they brought him back in season 9 felt like such a hackneyed response to fans who wanted more Evil Morty. I would have preferred him just not appearing for a multitude of seasons
>>154616329They have a "no one is better then rick and the only alternate universe version of anything has to be Beths walking loser midlife crisis" thing. It's not going to get better. It's just going to be maudlin sub sitcom tier shit written by people who should never have been allowed in the writing room.Same thing happened to the boondocks after they got rid of mcgruder and hired hollywood 5th stringers to "write" the last season. It was bad, very bad.
>>154616390nta, wdym I've heard mostly good things about the newer seasons
>>154616115We already had a full thread that discussed the last episodes and the preview for tonight's. Nothing much to say now until the premiere
>>154616299Yeah exactly. If the show ever got bored of the Morty Prime and Rick C-137 pair, they could always follow another dimension pair and create their own backstory for them.
>>154615359This season feels off. It's got a different vibe even though it's written by the same people who've been writing the show since S6 by this point. Like it's competent but kind of hollow. It's fine. The show's been fine since S7, but it doesn't hit for me like everyone else apparently. Nothing will ever touch the peak of S1 and S2 though.
>>154616616true, nothing will top the first few seasons
>>154615682>I'd be surprised if this just another show that ends up never ending like the other cartoon sitcoms.wild how so many people thought "100 YEARS RICK AND MORTY" was just a jokeit's never gonna endthat's the point
how much incest is in this show again?
>>154616816So much so that it even leaks into its' sister show Solar Opposites
>>154616390>no one is better then rickSee, I don't fully believe this until he finally beats Mr. Nimbus. Rick has not, so the show is still salvageable.
>>154617000there needs to be MORE incest
you think if Inside Job had lasted long enough there could have been a crossover with Rick and Morty?
>>154615533It's kinda garbage how he went from "I am tired of dealing with ricks and want to get away from all this bullshit" to "RICK SAMA PLEASE NOTICE ME UWU"
>>154615359I find it weird that people hate their serious episodes (Don't get me wrong. They're terrible) but when they do ridiculous sci-fi nonsense (like they should) everybody's always like "What is Rick and Morty even about?"
>>154618308He's obsessed with Ricks, he spent years manipulating them, I can't blame him for having an attachment as twisted as it is
I'm just glad we don't see that retarded therapist character anymore
>>154619368There's attachment by having a photo on your desk remembering the good times and then there's forcing the guy at gun point to go on dinner dates with you
I stopped watching after season 3 episode 1 because it was clear the writing was going down hill and season 2 was already a mixed bagIs there anything worth watching in the later seasons if I already didn't like where they were going (outside of up their own ass) from season 2/3 onward?
There's one single Rick and Morty joke I still find genuinely funny>Oh come on Morty, you telling me that if you see a video of a guy getting his head cut off you don't click on it? >No, Rick, what's wrong with you?
I missed last weeks episode. Was there any important lore I missed or can I watch tonight's episode?
>>154619838No loreJust evolution fun
>>154619752Yes. Seasons 4 and 5 were terrible and the show's better now that its been in years.
>>154619752People unironically look back on season 3 fondly now after how bad the show gotSeason 4-5 were absolute garbage. Probably the worst the show got that it felt like it was getting worse every season. Ever since then it's like watching an invalid slowly learn to walk again. Is it great? No. But it's getting better. You see most discourse about season 9 is "well, it's not pure garbage this time, is R&M good again?"So if you dropped it at season 3 I wouldn't bother coming back unless you're fine with sitting through trash for the odd good episode. Every season is full of stinks but last season and this season have been stronger.
>>154619838You should watch last week's episode. Probably one of the best this season. But no lore
>>154619733I think he has such a twisted attachment because our Rick reminds Evil Morty of his own Rick before he killed him.
Imagine being filtered by S4 and S5
>>154620560Come on bro, they were objectively dog shit poopoo. I can't even imagine how someone can be a season 4-5 apologists. Gotta be pure contrarianism
>>154620672Really? I'm not even him and the only episode of Season 4 I'd call bad is the dragon episode. Camping episode isn't great either. The rest are good.Season 5 has more misses but it's not awful.
>>154620756Season 4 and 5 are when they got REALLY up their own ass Season 4 had the heist episode, the acid vat episode, the stupid toilet one. Even the fucking story train one (which I think to be one of the worst episodes ever. Narrowly behind the giant sperm episode in season 5). Look at the dialogue during the camping one it's stuff like "omg we're doing a starwars" that kind of meta fart sniffing. Same with the glorzo episode, like the whole pearl harbour 9/11 face rub. Just a consistently awful season.Then season 5 somehow managed to be even worse. It was a bad time for the show.I did like the snake episode though in season 4, mainly because Jerry had a fun b-plot
>>154620986filtered
>>154620986I liked the vat of acid episode, it's ridiculous but I like that "every rick has a vat of acid!" dumb shit. It's funny to see just how petty Rick can be
Wabadadubdub
>>154622814why does this get posted in every thread
>>154616616>It's got a different vibeI noticed that too and felt like I was going crazy. If I had to describe it: everything feels really sanitized and the overall tone and theme of the show feels a bit more lighthearted than it used to. Early Rick and Morty had a kind of edge to it that the new stuff doesn't. Also, I haven't watched the show as much as I used to, but is there a reason why Rick is so nice to Morty now?
>>154623070>>154616616That's what I'd been thinking. To me, it's no longer "Rick & Morty", now it's just "generic animated sci-fi adventure comedy with battles". It's like they took the least entertaining parts of the sapient dinosaurs episode, removed what little edge there was left, added gratuitous fight scenes, and tried to make the whole show like that.
>>154615359I don't think you do.
>>154615359It's ok. I find the writing to be overly cynical and the writers don't even bother hiding their contempt for the audience
>>154619912Season 4 had ten good episodes. Season 5 had five good episodes.Season 8 had two.Season 9 has four (so far)
>>154615359Which ep is OP from again?
>>154624953my guess is gotron
>>154616196I'm still waiting for Zeep's return.
i would fuck gilf rick hairy pussy.
>>154615359That new Morty voice is so bad. I can't get over it. The Rick voice is great, but that Morty VA doesn't seem to be getting any better and actually might be getting worse.
>>154615533Everyone who is butthurt by Evil Morty getting BTFO in the premiere projected so hard they themselves are taking the hit. It's like you fundamentally missed the point of his character. He's a drama queen who acts like he's above it all while still actively playing the game. Rick has said it best on two occasions:Season 6 - Premier>"Evil Morty." Can we stop flattering this guy? His "plan" was to monologue and fuck off, he basically threw a tantrum to announce he was quitting Twitter.Season 9 - Premier>God, he brought you along to flex! He should you his lair. That overconfident little bitch. PREDICTABLE BITCH!>That's what happens when get too used to winning, Morty. You start sucking your own dick, Morty!!At the end of the day, Evil Morty is still a whiny anxiety ridden 14 year old boy. And everyone else bought into his hype rather than seeing him for what he is. If it wasn't clear by the season 7 episode, he's still hung up on Rick. He didn't have to do anything. He could have just let Rick keep doing what he was doing and ignored him. But he felt the need to get involved. Because he's...wait for it...NEEDY!
Meh episode, I thought no empathy Morty was going to be more like the one from when they expelled their negativity.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuStQ0ORKi0
>>154625585if nothing else i hope this episode shines a light on how great that episode was, it was always one of my personal favorites
>>154625320
>>154619752I 100% don't trust comments like this.It's been so long since those seasons ended that curiosity may have struck you any moment and make you continue watching. If you miss those seasons and want to talk about them, fine, but don't try to make the other seasons unwatchable.
when are they going to bite the bullet and let rick and morty have sex
>>154625585You know shit is grim when season 3 seems soulful by comparison.
why do I want to be morty and get fucked by rick?
>>154625527>because Rick said mean things about him that means Evil Morty is heckin' bad!Fuck off, retard.
>>154625527Do you have reading comprehension? I didn't say Evil Morty was bad. I was just drawing attention to the fact that despite all his pandering and jerking himself off, he's still a petty emotionally underdeveloped 14 year old boy. Rick called his ass out saying Evil Morty was throwing a tantrum (which he was), and saying how easy it was to pull one over on Evil Morty with the Omega Device because Evil Morty couldn't stop showboating. It's consistent writing.Even in Season 1, Rick called out Evil Morty's barrier of tortured Morty's as barbaric and poor craftsmanship. The same thing could have been achieved with a couple Morty's and a jumper cable, but Evil Morty instead wanted to be a petty asshole and torture "weaker Morty's. Everything he does is in response to Rick. He hasn't had an original through in his life, even his intelligence was stolen from Rick.
>>154629344Fuck this >>154629460 was meant for you.
>>154625527>>154629460>Rickfaggot can't even reply properly in defense of a garbage MCAnd? Excatly? Evil Morty never claimed to be a good guy. Even if he did have spiteful reasons, he was not wrong. Rick really is an asshole and the only people who defend him are those who self insert as him.As for "consistant writing" they literally gave him a logical reason for why he wouldn't use the Omega Device willy nilly, but immediantly backpedaled on that because they needed an episode conflict. You say he was "showboating" but he rarely did, outside of clear indulgence. He was more apathetic and spiteful and didn't waste much time after the immediate moment. When was he ever as openly arrogant as Rick prior to that shit season 9 opener? He was shown he can be calculating and tactical when needed-his whole "take over the Citadel" escape plan depended on that. He's he flaws, clearly, but overall, he has shown to genuinely be a better long term tactican than Rick, but all of it was literally thrown away so Rick could look like "le epic science god" as usual.And you're ignoring the fact that Evil Morty really had no real reason to come back. He's already got everything he needed and the Omega Device schematics were already a major deterrant and overusing would draw heat, which is something he literally admitted he didn't want.If you wanna claim reading comphrension, try reading why people don't give a shit about this show anymore outside of Redditors. When it comes to sloppy writing, they'll take shit on a plate with a grin, but you likely know what thats like.
>>154615359Morty's new VA is awful. Not just in replicating the original voice, but just terrible to listen to in general. Way too high pitched.
>>154620423enough with this fucking copejesus christwhy can't you faggots ever fucking admit how inconsistent these trash shows are?
>>154631443it's okay to be wrong anon
>>154615533finally I can say it. my one and only schizo theory about the show is that morty is his own grandfather. The entire show recently feels like TWO morties bickering at each other and one has the ego trip of being the grandpa. Rick doesn't mess with time, but why WOULDN'T evil morty? He's locked in time jail because of Rick's device. He already tricked the entire citadel and rigged portals place himself outside of the central finite curve. No reason he couldn't improve upon time travel eventually.
>>154616165or you know, the viewership is just nowhere near as good as it used to be but Adult Swim has nothing left so they're milking it as long as they can like Robot Chicken
>>154632108Both rc and R&M are good shows but I agree adult swim milked both for all they're worth
>>154633239>Both rc and R&M are good shows??????
>>154633309Don't be pretentious, you wouldn't be here bitching about them being shit if you hadn't seen both shows
>>154633596>you can form an opinion on something you've seen beforethanks anon you're a genius
>>154633640What an excellent contribution of intellect the world will be better because you bitched about 2 popular shows
So what has Rick been doing since he killed prime rick? Is he still the exact same character, they are just going on status quo adventures since?
>>154615664>>154615890>>154616495>>154616623>>154616717>>154617712>>154618104>>154626426>>154626654>>154627434Man this show would have been so much better if morty was a girl.
>>154616616Hey chat me again.Call me a retard if you want but I think I got it: Rick and Morty's relationship feels different. It's like they're taking it more...seriously? For lack of a better term for it like they're trying to build up to something that they'll pay off in the last two eps. It's not le serious drama and I doubt it will stick after the season but they're taking it a lot more seriously at the expense of the jokes. Half of the stuff they do now would have been played for laughs and forgotten in the past. It's not the same show anymore and that's ok. It was never going to stay the same, but the writers are still pretending like it is.
>>154633943Not sure about the show's quality but the threads would be a lot more populated, that's for sure.
>>154633943I'm still baffled that they've never done a gender swap episode, or even had a quick joke about it. So many ideas that could be done with Morty meeting his girl self, or the rest of the Smith family meeting their other selves. Hell, even if the show thinks it's a stupid idea, they could still do it in more of a parody way, like how the snake episode was all about how dumb time travel stories are.And yeah, I really want to see what the show would've been like with a girl Morty.
>>154634439They can't do it without being sexist.
>>154615533I liked the season 9 episode but yeah he should have stayed gone after escaping. Especially since they put him away "forever" again in a way that all but foreshadowed his inevitable return.
>>154615945Even then he'll still come back
>>154619752Season 3 is almost season 2 tier after the pickle episode. First few eps were meh, rest were fun.
>>154630235>the only people who defend him are those who self insert as him.Nah. People are always going to defend the protagonist, especially if you make him even mildly sympathetic some of the time. Should've learned from Breaking Bad, people want to root for the main character if he's at all interesting or likeable. And if he's not at least interesting, there's no point in making a show about him.
>>154635139Nothing wrong with this, btw. Just sayin'
>>154634042>Call me a retard if you want but I think I got it: Rick and Morty's relationship feels different. It's like they're taking it more...seriously? For lack of a better term for it like they're trying to build up to something that they'll pay off in the last two eps. It's not le serious drama and I doubt it will stick after the season but they're taking it a lot more seriously at the expense of the jokes.No you're right. It's a different show now. Which might be better than trying to replicate the old peaks of the show, honestly. I can appreciate what it's trying now even if I don't like it as much.
>>154618308>It's kinda garbage how he went from "I am tired of dealing with ricks and want to get away from all this bullshit" to "RICK SAMA PLEASE NOTICE ME UWU"the pod in >>154615533has two seats
>>154636744That second seat's a toilet
>>154632011Problem is we've seen what Rick looks like as a kid multiple times.
>>154636744Pod needs two seats so he can pick up alien cat sluts on his adventures and fuck them in their weird alien pussies.
Everyone should watch the Back to the Future TV Show instead of Rick & Morty.
The season has been solid so far. I hope there is one more amazing episode, but I doubt it. The next episode, Morty and Summer in an Alien rehabilitation camp seems kinda mid. B plot of Jerry and Beth seems meh too. Maybe Field of Dreams delivers, but that episode seems more like an emotional rollercoaster inspired by Tom Sawyer, which I dont care about.
