Rick has turned from a warmhearted, alcoholic-psychopath grandpa, into an edgy fratboy. It's already circling the drain.

Probably one of the few decent criticisms of the show, but I don't think he has gone that far yet.

Only saw season 1, seemed a bit like this.

Episode one, he reminded me of a younger Farnsworth from Futurama.

End of the season he seemed more like Bender.

I think the show has potential and has glimpses of genuine comedy but tries too hard to be unironic, post ironic immature.

I think they should just try to copy futurama more and just go on zany adventures.
>>
I can't really think of shows with such nimble plots as a good Rick and Morty episode apart from classic simpsons. I like how R&M takes a premise and goes as far as possible with it.
That said, the whole "All your value systems and sense of morals is shit" has been done so much that they're repeating themselves. If this show was a person, I'd tell him that nobody has to be mr edgy anymore, it's okay.

It has its moments for sure, season 1 was bretty good and season 2 was decent but sort of fell flat. They did another episode of the universal tv channels and it kinda sucked. Characters are already starting to become flanderized, but it is an above average cartoon. Herzog's monologue about penises in the one episode is funny.

rick is cynical and atherist not the show.

to me, the show isn't fedora tier if nothing else for that small part where rick prays to god- before becoming atheist again.

also please let's not conflate all of atheism with fedora. The two things have a strong statistic correlation but it doesn't mean all instances of atheism are fedora. Only siths deal in absolutes

What about you? Why don't you like Rick and Morty? Don't you like it that every episode is a critique of society in a very extreme way? They do take it to extremes but that just makes it more funny.

Meh overall I enjoy watching it. I don't find it particularly funny but it's entertaining non the less.

It's nice to have a cartoon that's at least trying to create an original story rather than pushing critics on current events as entertainment like the modern Simpsons, Family Guy and even South Park

Is this the Dan Harmon curse?

Community fell apart because the fans loved feeling smart after picking up the 'meta humour,' and by the end of season 3 every episode had to have a fucking gimmick. Then when he returned for season 5 the show became a parody of itself.
>>
>>63402735
good things:

harmon's character writing and development

great voice acting except for morty who literally drives me insane he is so goddamn annoying. if you know morty's complaining is just going to end in doing whatever rick wants anyways, having to sit through that voice for 30 seconds is like sticking a pen into your skull

lack of self-referencing jokes and inside jokes is refreshing (when that starts to happen, the end has begun)

good ideas for episodes and better execution, surprises that you do not see coming

expressive yet simple animation style and great voice acting. colors and worlds are great.

jerry daycare is the funniest thing on television i've seen in about a decade

the unity episode was genius

scene with thousands of morty's being tortured was extreme and actually really uncomfortable

interesting arcs (eyepatch morty, rick is actually kind of a bad guy). you want to see what happens overall in the series as much as you do in the episode itself.

doesn't really have limits, the universe is pretty uncaring for the most part in the show (people die, planets get destroyed, etc)

every single episode there is at least one ridiculously funny thing

cons:

there are a few areas where it fails. sometimes just saying, "beeyatches!!!" is not funny. beth and jerry could have a little bit less melodrama. frankly they aren't that interesting of a couple and jerry might have developed too fast because he's starting to wear on me. juvenile humor that doesn't work sometimes (planet made of giant butts which fart. kind of stupid desu.)

great show. i am a fan. nobody can really stop me. when they come out with a new season i will watch. i like the relatiionship between rick and morty, and i like morty as a character though sometimes it's melodramatic in the same way community was before harmon left, so you can feel his touch in that.

What are people talking about when they say 'the fanbase' is annoying. where are you meeting these people? How many conversations are out there in the world, regarding this show, where people are actively celebrating it in a way that you get sick of their memes? That doesn't sound like something that happens in real life. I feel like if you have this 'problem' with the fanbase in a way where you are sick of them, then you seriously just need to stay off reddit or even just the subreddit.
>>

The first season was amazing, second one was a lot hit & miss. either an episode is awesome as shit (the one with the micro universes for instance) or its really nice in the first half and COMPLETE and utter shit in the second (the purge episode) well or its straight up shit. like, a lot in that season.

my problem with the show is:

>morty went from a cute, permahorny loveable 14 year old to a retarded and bloodthirsty faggot
>they try to desperately include summer more, probably because SJW? i dont know
>rick is BY FAR not as openly alcoholic as he was before, his lines make a lot more sense, hes just not as insane as in the first season.
>the swearing. i dont give a shit about swearing, but they try to force it too much.

all in all still a very good show, and i enjoy it, but there are some episodes which are just utter shit.

Here's the issue.

We're on an anonymoose image board where you can talk shit without

>knowing who's talking shit
>Knowing IF they're talking shit

Seriously, this thread was most likely created on a whim with two dudes going "yo man have you ever been to /tv/ ?" "nah man" "well they fucking hate Rick and Morty, just fucking watch"

Think about it? the subject of the thread is a meme "Why is 250 replys and 70 images omitted so based?"

I mean honestly, once something becomes hated on /tv/ it GENERALLY stays that way. Sure SOMETIMES it becomes a meme and SOMETIMES we "LIKE" it, as in we shitpost it to death and then ironically un-ironically post ironically chronically talk shit about it.

But to not be a faggot. You're all talking about how Rick "changed" He did. Once, no not over time. Just once. Look at Rick in the pilot and then the next episode. It's a basic difference in character.

Pilot
>More carefree and mad scientist
>Willing to do anything but will fix it if needed
>No heavy handed lesson, but rather a light one

>Episode 2 (or 1 if you're a dick)

>More serious science jargon
>Pseudo philosophical bullshit.
>ayyy
>still KIND of crazy but not in a comedic sense, more of a "we have to do crazy shit because that's the way the world works"


Personally, I LIKE the pilot Rick. Some people prefer current Rick. That's all it is, the entire show is preferences. Rather a Rick and Morty thread will be from here on in, Rick and Morty: Preferences OR how I learned to shitpost about something that doesn't and never will matter

Season 1 was excellent. It was so good that I was convinced the writers of the show knew what they were doing and had plans for great episodes for years to come, like the golden years of The Simpsons (i.e. Seasons 2-8).

Then season 2 of rick and morty came out and I realized they have no idea what the fuck makes a "good" rick and morty episode (hint: it's when it's just rick and morty and not his god damn family joining in on the fun) and that their first season blew its load by showing all the best episodes first.

I have done endless research on this.

I'm willing to discuss (without heavy meme usage) which episodes you really enjoyed in the second season and why. I can list which ones I thought were great and which ones I found to be very bad. BUT, I will say that even though I found season 2 to be pretty bad due to extremely weak episodes, I still think Rick and Morty is an excellent TV show and even the worst episodes of rick and morty are better than 95% of tv shows on right now. I only "hate" because I want to see the best out of them. Anyway my list for season 2:

Great (in no particular order):
- Rickle in Time
- Mortynight Run
- Total Rickall
- The Ricks must be crazy

Good but pretty meh:
- Look whos purging now
- interdimensional cable 2
- auto-erotic assimilation

Bad, if not total garbage:
- Get schwifty
- Big Trouble in Little Sanchez
- The Wedding Squanchers

Overall I'd give season 2 a C+. I really did think season 1 was an A.
