Why was Rick and Morty in particular so hated? It was just your standard adult cartoon show.
>>219496392Annoying fandom and the show went from mid to bad
>>219496392I'm just a contrarian, bro, I still watched now and then
>>219496392Contrarians.
>>219496392Annoying fans. And the same reason Bojack Horseman gets a lot of targeted hate, adult fans that derive morality and messaging from a show so deep in depression and nihilism you thought that was the joke but it turns out it’s serious and you’re supposed to feel bad
>>219496392Spews the same immature bullshit over and over and then hides behind satire.
>>219496392The novelty wears off after season 1.Also it's reddit
>>219496420>>219496483/tv/ NPCs will blame "muh contrarians" like they were trained to do but in reality the show is just shit
>>219496906Is that why every complaint ITT is about how annoying the fans were? The show was genuinely good.
It's very mid early one to very bad now. They heavily leaned into the "seriousness" of the show which was a bad idea and made the show much worse.
>>219496893basically this. it was the other way around at the beginning, i remember liking the first season a lot and i think it was liked here too. but it got stale very fast and suddently it was edgy and cringe and so on. and it got too popular. i remember they started to do retarded things because of it like the pickle thing and the asian therapist
>>219496392its actually pretty good. its just a very loud and cringe fan group was annoying. just ignore them and the people who bitch about them and enjoy your show
Bad fanbase and the show going on longer than it should have(it's getting a new season, btw). 3 is the perfect stopping point if you were to ever attempt to get into it.
>>219496392because it fell off a cliff in quality when harmon cleaned out the writers room in season 4 and those guys he hired would later go on to write ant man 3 and she hulk
>>219498383I believe it started in season 3. That's when I noticed the shift, anyway. It went from somewhat-clever meta humor and subversion of tropes, to standard adult cartoon shock/gross-out humor.
>>219496392Rick and Morty exposed a ton of midwits who unironically thought they were tortured geniuses. It also popularized the writing style of being hyper self aware and self referential. The effects have been disasterous for pop culture.
>>219498427bitch they had werner herzog getting his heart replaced with jerry's penis in season 2. if anything the show got more meta in season 4 when harmon cleaned out the room
that one greasy chink at mcdonalds ended an entire show lmao>F U stereotypes
>>219496392became too popular
>>219498587When the Asian therapist self-insert totally owns Rick in the Pickle Rick ep is when I could tell the new diversity writers had no idea what made the first season so successful.
>>219498713that's one of two girl writer episodes
I liked season 8. It's not the same show but it was better than the previous few seasons.
>>219498610nobody knows what you're talking about, memebrain
>>219496392It’s because it’s Reddit and Memey. Rofl!
>>219498854szechuan sauce, i hardly watch r&m and even i know about it gramps
