I wonder if the council of ricks are going to bust Rick out of jail causing a huge war between the council and the galactic government that will kick them off earth but will be happening in the background from now on.

Yeah, I mean even if the CoR doesn't have any real love for The Rickest Rick, they probably don't want someone with his knowledge in GF custody.

We all know that Jerry is going to thrive in the nanny-state bureaucracy that is now Earth, but how is it going to work out for the rest of the Smiths? They're descendants and accomplices of the most wanted criminal ever. Hell, Morty killed a customs agent . I'm willing to bet money that there's going to be a point where Jerry's going to have to willingly sacrifice his perfect new life in exchange for his family's happiness.

ashpanash posted:I imagine they'll abandon the idea of the family/B-stories being grounded in some way on Earth, and instead they're all on the lam. That doesn't seem likely, the finale went to some lengths to establish that the family was cleared of Rick's wrongdoing and will be allowed to live on the newly-Federalized Earth. It seems like a good setup for the sci-fi elements Rick usually introduces to enter the family's stories even while he's in jail, since worlds are colliding anyway. Unless they anticlimax everything away offscreen, breaking out Rick and going on the lamb is a pretty story-heavy way to kick off a season. I do like that idea of Rick returning early in the season only to turn out to be a different Rick, while our Rick is still in jail. That'd actually be a pretty interesting conflict, since Rick doesn't seem to put much value in individual instances of a person but Morty probably does.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioning the fact that there was a scene clearly showing Birdman and Tammy's bird-human?-hybrid baby being fed at the wedding. Bird Man Jr. totally has to figure in.

I just binge-watched this entire show in the last two days. It was pretty interesting watching a TV show go from "Promising, but still shaky and finding it's footing" ---> "OK, now it's really finding it's rhythm and delivering" --> "Wow, now it's REALLY hitting its stride and delivering absolute gems, this is amazing" --> "OK, now it's getting too meta and self-referential and getting too far up its own rear end and has kind of jumped the shark" over the course of seven hours.

Otherwise, I can't say I'm really getting where the show steps out and gets too referential in the last five or so episodes. I'm mostly curious since a lot of what I hear about the show is from screaming goons from inside this thread and it'd be refreshing for a different take.

Unless they anticlimax everything away offscreen, breaking out Rick and going on the lamb is a pretty story-heavy way to kick off a season. Who knows what they actually go with, but as long as we're speculating, I don't think the family trapped in (and learning about) a 'Federation world' Earth would really be very compelling as a premise, particularly to these writers. Unless they can come up with some really interesting consequences of a Federated Earth - which, if I'm guessing, is not really what they want to do. They just want to tell varied stories, not provide a sensible mythology for how the Rick & Morty universe actually works. That's why I think the idea of "changing it up" is more about simply removing Earth from the equation, more or less entirely. They're still a grounded family, just a family that now travels around the absurd space of this universe. I say "on the lam" because it sets up a possible running background framework, but that's the kind of thing that comes up in one episode out of four.

Clearly what they're going to do is just have the season premiere be a totally normal episode as if the finale never happened. No end of episode reveal that it's an alternate universe or anything. Just no continuity at all.

AmiYumi posted:Also, once again I am reminded how great it is that goons do not write for TV, because y'all have garbage ideas. You know what I want to see? The premiere's cold open takes all of your "Evil Morty" and "Council of Ricks" and "Buff Morty 10 years later" spergy fanfic, makes it as awful and TvTropes as possible, and then we smash-cut to a different universe where none of that happened and never mention it again. Then the show can continue with an actual good plot, by writers who know what the gently caress they're doing. It's really, really important that we write out all the possible lovely future plot twists in this thread to stop them actually appearing in the show. There was an interview with the show's creators ages ago where they were talking about how there was some aspect of Rick's backstory which they had kept out of the first few episodes but then someone on Reddit guessed it so they dropped it completely.

Kinda, but not quite--They'd decided from the beginning that they weren't going to do any big-reveal "and that's how THIS became the way it was!" episodes, but that they had a big secret (probably more) in mind for the backstory, and someone on reddit figured it out and they were like "well good thing we didn't hang any hopes on blowing minds with a big reveal" Here's the interview you're talking about (relevant part bolded): http://www.avclub.com/article/theres-one-secret-rick-and-morty-guys-will-never-r-222269 quote:DH: We haven’t talked about this in a while, but before we wrote the first episode of Rick And Morty, we had a conversation where, I think it was Mike McMahan who said, “Should we decide that there is a secret we keep from the audience forever?” But we always know it.” I won’t say what. We said, “Oh, what about this?” And we went, “Yeah, that’s really cool.” I was kind of obsessed with it for a while. But I think what’s really interesting about this new golden age of TV is that [Snaps fingers.] halfway through the first season, somebody made a Reddit post where they threw out the theory, which was exactly what we had talked about, basically. It was like, “Oh, thank God we didn’t really do anything with it.” They're almost certainly talking about the Evil Morty theory.

It says that it was a post from halfway through season 1, and we didn't see the Evil Morty we know until the second to last episode. Was there a prior theory about an Evil Morty? I am just genuinely curious, I only started following this thread since I started watching shortly before the season 2 premiere, so I am not up on any fan theories.

Revising to say "the theory that Rick C-137's original Morty is the one we see left behind to get eaten/mauled by the giant frog creatures in the title sequence" Which would later on become the Evil Morty theory https://www.reddit.com/r/rickandmorty/comments/2nzm2a/the_rickest_rick_master_theory/

Since the season ended, I figure we could have a little survey. What's your favorite episode in the show's run thus far, and why? Who's your favorite side character? Do you have a favorite joke/gag/line from the show? What's your least favorite episode, and what could have been done to redeem it in your eyes? Tuxedo Jack posted:I think it's more likely the "every episode is a different Rick & Morty from the multiverse" theory. Which allows them really loose rules on continuity They could really play with this fan theory in season 3 episode 1. The shoddiest idea I've had so far is "The episode starts by showing Rick back at the family, it seems like the last season finale never happened and everything's normal aside from Earth being a tourist attraction. As the show goes on, Rick keeps trying to leave the house while Jerry is trying to get everyone to give him the attention he desperately craves and Morty keeps asking him about what happened. At the end of the episode, Rick gets accidentally shot and it's revealed he's an evolved memory parasite and we see that our Rick is still in prison. Right before the credits, we see a giant bar of soap land on him. FireWorksWell fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Oct 6, 2015 |
