Anony Mouse posted:There's no way that Rick is Morty, except in some loose figurative sense. The "no time travel" thing for one. For another, Morty is dumb as poo poo. Finally, it'd be way too predictable. Plus if Morty and Rick had the same DNA, the whole world would have had the hots for Rick as well. They can't possibly be genetically identical. e: and they also have to be genetically related, and the father didn't turn into a mantis monster so Jerry has to be the father.

I was rewatching M Night Shamaliens and I realized you can pinpoint the moment Rick sees through the last level of simulation; he misses that Morty's CPU cores don't disintegrate but when he sees Jerry goes ''What are you doing here?! And why are you dressed as a waiter?'' Jerry can't have changed clothes within the simulation. The ending to ''Rick Potion #9'' was absolutely pitch perfect. I've rewatched it several times and the ending of a 14 year old coming to terms with his own death, losing everyone he's ever cared about and being a complete imposter to the copies around him, staring in mute nearly unblinking horror. A masterpiece. edit: you also notice Rick is constantly being a dick for no reason. In the beginning he goes for a soda, shakes it up and puts it back, and goes for something orange.

Smug Mug posted:Well Rick did say he "just happened to find" a dimension where they fixed the damage that was done. Could be other differences. There's a reason he goes all bug eyed at his parents and sister particularly; he realizes these people are essentially strangers; he's meeting his loved ones for the first time as an imposter, and the person who they loved he just buried.

It kind of teetered a little bit in the middle, but I absolutely loved Rick's non-arc. Like it's not even entirely misogyny as much as it's just being absolutely jaded to everything and just bored through it. Like you get the projection this is so cliche it must be the forth or fifth time through it? ''Isn't it interesting, Summer, after all that stuff we just did, nothing really mattered and there was no point to it, kinda makes you wonder, huh? About nothing!'' He just so resolutely does not care at all, just sure, whatever, do what you want, and then gives her a pink spaceship. Perfect.

God that episode was clever. The dialogue explains why Summer in particular is such a statistical rarity compared to Jerry and Beth; she only exists in realities in which the car lost a tire and Jerry gets to talk the mom out of it. She can only exist in a reality where they both wind up resentfully marrying each other. Also ''I don't give a gently caress what you think, Jerry!'' Possibly my favorite, or up there with Rick Potion #9. I

PostNouveau posted: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. Yahtzee's fun! We love Yahtzee! It's a fun game for fun families!

I absolutely loved that little glimpse into why Rick, this super scientist multiverse striding god, spends so much time with these people; without a wall to bounce off he's just a lonely old drunk. He can't be Bugs Bunny without someone close to him playing the opera singer.

I thought the fakeout was going to go the other way and the retarded Rick would have been pulling the strings, there's a line where he's describing the evil spectrum Rick between them as being ''totally weird''. That fit doofus Rick to a tee.

Morty can't exist in realities Rick doesn't, Rick is his maternal grandfather. edit: excluding realities where people can be created without having a maternal grandfather, I guess. Like I don't picture the hammer people necessarily having that much physiologically related to us. CoolCab fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Apr 9, 2014 |

I honestly think I liked this season more then season 1 Futurama, which feels like blasphemy but it's true. Hundred years.

Metropolis posted:
I disagree, I wouldn't put it past this show to do pretty much a straight sequel to the television one. Maybe in the middle of something else so it can intercut drama and TV ideas again, I would guess the odds of it coming back are at about Anthology of Interest levels; I feel like they're going to find room every season for an improv episode, since they seemed to adore doing it (and it was amazing). quote:I think the only callback bit that was weak (to me) was Gazorpazorpfield. Metropolis you white...white uh guilt milquetoast piece of poo poo.

I on the other hand experienced a very special joy after the deliberately over the top but funny pornographic ''how is this on YouTube'' thing I'd occasionally link around somehow got made into a full budget animated short. It was like learning the goatse guy later went on to win the Olympics or something. Just impossible and would have been laughable if I hadn't seen it happen.

"Rick and Morty" evolved from a parody of "Back to the Future" where time travel is powered by explicit onscreen pedophilia. That's a thing.

If it surprises you that the main writer for Rick, an sociopath atheist libertarian who literally constantly goes off on political rants, exclusively gets the last word and is constantly portrayed as "too correct for his own good" has less then rosy feelings for labour politics, I don't know what to tell you. Rick literally elects to burn his business to the ground instead of filing employer paperwork.

prefect posted:Roiland may be a prick, but Rick hates paperwork because it's boring, not because he's trying to screw his employees. No, he doesn't need to screw his employees, that would be assigning too much autonomy to them. He's completely apathetic to literally all other human beings, and frequently murders them on a whim. He's an incredibly brilliant self made genius and uses that intelligence to invent technology that could effortlessly transform the world into a utopia. However, doing so would involve cooperation with a government, something he feels is morally unacceptable, so instead he retreats from society to live a life of rational self interest and enjoy the sweat of his brow. It's not subtle.
