If that stuff is all full of sugar and tart (lowish Ph) like I assume it is, it should keep for a long time. I'm not going to be the guinea pig that tastes it, though.

I can make a template out of it, print it out and slap it over a packet of McDonald's Barbecue sauce and use it as a prop for my WIP Rick cosplay. Edit: holy  the seller is named "definitelynotdanharmon." Will be curious to see what comes of this when the auction ends.

Covok posted:An important thing to remember about the series is that Rick is more about telling jokes and personal anecdotes from the writers personal lives than being a complex character and that the series is more about being funny with dark, nihilistic humor than telling a complex story. Perhaps its all to circle back to the nihilistic themes of the show, but there really isn't a point to it and trying to find big meaning and patterns in it is a bit of a wasted effort: you're better off just enjoying it while it lasts. Telling fans that is equally wasted effort. But good job watching Rick and Morty correctly, I guess.

Baronjutter posted:I think for some people who grew up in families like that the show might hit a little too close to home? Some people just don't like shows about horrible people. I know people who hated breaking bad because walter was an evil criminal and they hated him too much to watch the show. Or people hate always sunny or curb your enthusiasm or even seinfeld because the main cast are all awful awful people. I could understand that theory. I couldn't watch Nip/Tuck for the same reason after watching 1. It was just a group of people making the worst decisions possible in any given situation. Similarly with The Walking Dead but that could be said about most zombie stuff for me.

So when animating all this stuff how much is CG and how much is hand-drawn?

That's actually something I wanted to ask Typical, were those robot CG renders used for the actual show footage or were those like study images for perspective?

It was a little strange how we didn't see Jerry actually leave. Seems to me it would be more darkly comedic if we saw him bawling his eyes out or slinking away in a taxi with a suitcase. No way she's got him tied up in the attic or something, right? Honestly, though, it is equally likely that it was that final and offscreen as a sign to the watcher that Jerry is just loving gone from the series and may never be seen again. LIke if they got sick of writing for him or whatever.

That breaking bad catch is really good. Here's what I don't get, why is this morty special, when the rest of the family isn't? Does Rick just not know about his cronenberg hunger games family, or does he not care?

Lol, the auction is just for a photograph. I guess it is real since the proceeds are going to charity. quote:You are bidding on an authentic autographed photograph of that Mmmulan McMcMcNugget sauce, printed shoddily on plain paper and sent in an ordinary USPS stamped envelope. You will also receive a complimentary sense of generalized bamboozlement for having the poor judgment to spend good money on this particular auction.

Baronjutter posted:It's a thing that I notice is always done really well in the show so good job, it's not some terrible thing no one appreciates. vehicles are hand drawn (on a computer) but we use the 3d model as a guide. and then we trace over it and animate on top of it. sort of like how they did back in the days of 101 Dalmatians, except with maya models and and cintiqs instead of paper cars and film.   Just imagine this except with canadian 20 something's posing and taking pictures of Jerry's Car, and then tracing it. And then I'm over in the corner furiously sculpting the next model and screaming at maya. Zaphod42 posted:If I had to guess from the look of it its mostly hand-drawn (although almost assuredly computer assisted animation) and the CG is probably just used to get an idea of perspective, but I could be totally wrong. and yes alot of times the model is just simply for reference. but only if the prop is especially hard to draw. like obviously i wouldn't just waste my time 3d modeling a milk cartoon. but spaceships on the other hand... There are many 3d models i want to show you this season but ya'll will have to wait. 3D is not a very big part of the show, in each episode less than 10 seconds usually, but it helps a lot to work this way and the payoff is that the show never looks flat.

Rexides posted:Telling fans that is equally wasted effort. But good job watching Rick and Morty correctly, I guess. Yep, as evidenced by this new thread already. It seems that the entire point of this new episode was them telling the fans to stop looking so deep into this. In fact, I wonder how much of the direction the show is apparently going in was from them reading all the fan theories and groaning? Yes there are layers to the show but it's mostly meant to be fun, funny, dark, nihilistic, etc and I'm more than happy that they're apparently sticking to what works rather than going balls deep into serialization. I'm not trying to sound insulting or  at all but I'm under the impression that for a lot of R&M fans, this is the first time they've watched a show that is deeper and with stronger characters than, say, Futurama or *insert typical adult animated show here*

No no, I do love Futurama, and it even does have moments of strong character writing, but in general they're mostly gag-vehicles and there are definitely more layers and depth to Rick and Morty, just not enough to obsess over it to the insane degree that the fanbase tends to do.

Changed this because I feel what you're referring to is more a symptom of fan culture than anything else. Right now, throwing around fan theories is really in. Some of this has to do with the fact that people always did this, but usually just with friends close by so it's really just a normal activity taken to the internet and scaled up. Some of this is because of increased community engagement. I remember when some early internet shows would praise fans for figuring it out (while simentously re-writing things). Some of it is probably just human nature, especially when you consider how over-analytical cartoon fans tend to be. It is funny, actually. I swear, like a day before this new episode aired, I saw a video titled "Rick's Secret - He's Not a Genius" where they tried to claimed those whatever macguffins from the pilot are his trick or something. I just kind of groaned. Guess I wasn't alone. Also, is there a term in fiction for a protagonist who is a dickbag? Like, I know about "anti-hero", but Rick doesn't do enough good things to qualify.

Robot Hobo posted:Morty being extraordinarily dumb is an idea that Rick perpetuates, but the show has never actually backed that up in any other way. Beth and Jerry both allude to him being dumb as hell and that being a core character trait from before Rick in the pilot. I think the writers decided to abandon that idea though. Morty's clearly not supposed to read as stupid any more.

Guys please say Hello to Mutata, he is a goon I found in the daily drawings thread to help me with the more complicated models. His work is A+ and we have used him to do all kinds of 3D stand in stuff. We split up this season about 50/50 between the two of us. Though he is by far the superior 3D guy. I usually just give him 1 sketch of a spaceship or something and he turns around a complete model in just a few days.
