Hey, dude that works on this show, are all the scenes from the opening credits pulled from episodes that we haven't seen yet? Like robot Morty and pregnant Jerry?

Typical posted:Justin Roiland doesn't want you to know the answer to that. Ah, well fair enough. Even if they aren't from real episodes, a lot of the snippets look like sweet premises, so I hope they do eventually come up. Edit: Well I'll just get specific. In addition to robot Morty and pregnant Jerry, I also hope Jerry shotgunning bugmen and Summer helping Rick and Morty kidnap a baby Cthulu are from real episodes.

Typical posted:OH also I am currently back at work at the Rick and Morty Studio doing some color work on an unrelated new pilot. it's by a lot of the same people I'll share it with you when it gets released. Does it involve several clones of a certain aging former stand-up comic/sitcom star?

I can see why that episode was originally scheduled as the 2nd. It seems like a thesis statement for Rick's character. The universe is arbitrary and cruel, and he just tries not to think about it too much.

NutritiousSnack posted:Keep in mind it also doesn't go with the character development Rick gets last episode either, when he determines that "it is important to clean up the universe" You know, I saw Rick in the end of the King Jellybean episode as humoring Morty in order to cheering him up after the universe very nastily proved Rick right. But I suppose character development is also a valid reading of it.

Last Chance posted:The only thing that throws a wrench into the Rick is Morty speculation (it is speculation, not a spoiler) is that the creators have said that they aren't going to do time travel stories. That's what Futurama said when they first started, and then "Roswell That Ends Well" and Fry's his own grandfather.

Typical posted:I think its because high concept comes off as sounding conceptual cool sci-fi oriented. It might not be the high concept in the academic film sense. Most people don't know what "high concept" really means. Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and trust that Roiland and Harmon knew exactly what they were talking about when they hung a lantern on it in the pilot.

ashpanash posted:Well here you go, they're confirming it's low concept right here: Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it's funny to watch them talk around the Back to the Future spoof beginnings. They just keep making sure to hit "original characters" over and over again.

Is Rick and Morty kind of a one-or-two-man show as far as the writing and producing goes? You gotta cut those shows some slack on the delays.

That South Park episode also got the South Park guys in trouble for ripping off a College Humor sketch. Creative endeavors often involve a lot of parallel thinking. There's a good Cracked podcast that delves into this by explaining why it's actually pretty reasonable that three people cooked up Harry Potter-like stories at the same time. Also, shut the gently caress up about it, you loving sperglords. Jesus, just drain the fun out of everything why don't you.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:In fact the title of the Futurama episode Amazon Women in the Mood is a reference to an old John Landis movie which was parodying old 1950s scifi movies which often had alien societies split by gender and ruled by women, like Queen of Outer Space. 1950s movies that probably got their plots from old radio serials which came from pulp comics and so on and so forth until you get back to Greek goddamn myth. I swear, it sounds like some of you actually think Futurama invented the idea.

Woden posted:The only other way I can read it is she actually was seeing happy stuff, she was apparently having fun with the family playing board games. This joke owned because Jerry sarcastically suggested Yahtzee a couple of minutes before Summer got the goggles, so her first look into the goggles was apparently a universe where the family for some reason decided Yahtzee WOULD be more fun than infinite alternate universes.

This show is very dedicated to silly names. In this episode: King Flippynips and Scroopy Nupers. Jerry kinda dragged down the Pluto storyline by continuing to be too much of a one-note character. It feels like his insecurities completely dominate whatever storyline he's in.

Flying-PCP posted:Season finale is next week, right? Does it not seem like the creep towards continuity just went into overdrive, right as we're getting to season 2? But they could sort of alternate between regular episodes and overarching plot, to keep it from getting too, uh, plotty. So Rick gets Morty killed and has to cash in that free Morty voucher, but he ends up with Evil Morty as the replacement.

With regard to Rick-Prime having more feelings for Morty than Evil Morty thought he would, perhaps Rick-Prime isn't really the nearly-the-most-evil Rick. He did replace a dead Rick, so maybe the Rick that died was a reallll rear end in a top hat. Also, maybe Rick-Prime is the weirdo Rick that Evil Rick didn't want to deal with.

hughesta posted:I think Typical posted in this thread saying the Cthulu scene wasn't from an episode. I could totally be misremembering, though. He said they don't want to say. Also later he implied that he could get in trouble for revealing that much information about upcoming episodes, so even if he did say, let's just pretend he didn't.

My only disappointment was the lack of a dark ending. It's not that they necessarily needed one, but Dan Harmon gave an interview after Rick Potion #9 that was like, "You thought THAT was dark, just wait for the rest of the season." So I've been waiting for something as hosed up and just assumed this episode was headed to some disturbing places the whole time. I guess Harmon was talking about the dome of Morty torture.

Yeah, I hope the Meeseeks don't show up again, for example. There's a lot of elements on this show that could go the way of the Borg if the show overuses them.

...of SCIENCE! posted:Summer's highschool hijinx are the weakest part of her character and one of the most mundane and unexceptional parts of the show. "High school sucks, popular kids are terrible" is boring and trite enough in a regular show, having it done in Rick & Morty when you know it could be doing literally anything else just makes it worse. It's not great, but it barely even registers as a plot point. The slo-mo disintegration of the parents' marriage is more of a drag. Not that those plotlines are terrible by any means, but stuff like the "Titanic" subplot and the dimensional goggles didn't reach the heights of all the other material.

And Futurama, which wasn't all that good in its last season but will probably win anyway because it's now fully dead for good.
