Rick and Morty

Yes but just because it happened to work out in the end does not make it any less illogical.

Changing gears a bit...

So I was rewatching Rick and Morty: Bushworld Adventures because I apparently have nothing better to do with my life and I suddenly got the diesel joke.

I already knew putting diesel in a car with a petrol (gasoline) engine is pretty much lethal for the car making it a really stupid thing to do, but then I found out that it's even stupider because, according to this site, a diesel nozzle won't actually fit properly into the filler gap of a gas-engine vehicle.

I know someone who filled their tank with water once,WATER.

...How?

I have no idea, I was just told their engine was flooded with water for some reason

You know, I've always wondered if Rick's bitching about Jerry being a parasite was supposed to be viewed hypocritically or not, because I certainly see him as a more parasitic existence on the family than Jerry, despite the latter's many actual faults.

But, again, the question is whether that's supposed to be intentional or not.

Unity outright called him a corrupting influence on a level far beyond anything she could ever achieve, which caused her to run away from him.

So Rick calling Jerry a parasite is a hypocritical thing for him to do though I'm not sure if your supposed to be thinking that during the scene.

Guess who's back?

Its offcial!

November 2019 mofuckers!

On the one hand, good.

On the other, Rick and Morty has sort of become a punchline between seasons with its associations with the worst of Fan Dumb and other dark corners of the Internet. I’m fully expecting an episode where the show tackles that Misaimed Fandom.

As I recall, Rick and Morty wasn't picked up for a second season until a significant period of time after the first season concluded. This continued with later seasons, leading to long periods between individual seasons. However, in May 2018, Adult Swim ordered 70 episodes. I don't know how many seasons that will work out to in the end, but I expect there to be a much shorter gap between Seasons 4 and 5, since this time they can begin Season 5 as soon as they finish work on Season 4, not having to wait to be renewed.

I dont see them addressing the problematic fandom,but I'm happy to be wrong

It would be entirely in character for Rick to address his fandom and tear them apart given how self loathing he is, but yeah, not holding my breath. Considering that “thinking Rick and Morty is smart” is now used as shorthand when Samantha Bee makes fun of alt-right types, I’m just worried how the show will come off. (Fun fact, her associating them with the show is listed as Critical Research Failure on the wiki).

T O B E F A I R...

it would be like kicking a hornet's nest,not a particularly good idea

Except, Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped. Which is weird to say for a normally-anvil-free show like RNM.

I'd say it's perfectly within Rick and Morty's wheelhouse, since they make fun of a bunch of other things.

I expect the writers to make fun of the toxic fandom in at least a few episodes.

They are definitively gonna make fun of the toxic part of the fandom.

Cause I'm pretty sure the creators are just as annoyed at their behavior as we are.

They won't,not if they want a backlash if its handled poorly

Um... when was this show NOT known to tackle sensitive topics?

I don't see them doing an entire episode about it, but taking a few jabs at the toxic elements of the fanbase seems right up Rick and Morty's alley.

I heard back when Season 3 ended that the creators were going make to just make funny stories instead of going for a more serious arc. And I'm all for it. As much as I like some of the lore bits and generally enjoyed Season 3, I hope to see more wacky, fun adventures that we got in S1 and S2 and maybe on occassions go into the deep, dark lore bits like Evil Morty and Cyborg Bird-Person.

I want to see Tammy get her comeuppance. Not sure whether it'd be better if it was a dramatic climax or a hilarious anticlimax.

She has so far managed to be one of the only person in the series to outwit and get the drop on Rick. Even Rick bringing down the Galactic Federation didn't harm her — if anything her standing may have improved.

I'd like to go back to the weird fun insane sci-plots like Unity or the Miniverses while probably dial back the parody/homage episodes like the Mad Max or Superhero one.

The Miniverse episode is insanely quotable.

I wonder if awareness of her still living existence might provoke Rick to go after her.

Edited by slimcoder on May 15th 2019 at 11:46:54 AM

I get the feeling that she will go after him. It's probably why she went so far as to desecrate Birdperson's body by rebuilding him into Cyberbird — sorry, Phoenixperson.
