You ever have a friend who's media tastes didn't mesh at all with their politics at all?
(hexbear.net)
I met a trans lesbian socialist who does a lot of pro-Palestine organizing recently.
She also really likes Rick and Morty.
Are we not supposed to like that show or something?
Yes.
Or at least say you only like the early seasons.
Idk I kinda like it when rock goes to therapy and slowly works on his many obvious issues
Legit and unironically, I really think the show gets better as it goes on, insofar that women actually enter the writer's room. Like, the therapist scene deconstructing Rick is incredible (given the show up to that point) and the fans that hate that scene are a shibboleth for the chuds among us
The scene is both great and bad because it is basically the writers turning to the camera and saying "you shouldn't worship or idolise Rick, or even like him, he's an awful person because he refuses to put the work in to be better."
It's terrible from a writing standpoint because it is so on the nose, but it is great because it is exactly what the worst fans of that show needed to hear.
See also the final episode of Seinfeld
And the last season of The Sopranos
Is that the pickle Rick episode? I think that's the latest I've seen.
Morty's Mind Blowers (S03E08) also reveals Rick to be a piece of shit who will erase a person's memory simply to save himself the embarrassment of having mispronounced a word.
Yeah, like it said he has issues. He's still a piece of shit, even after he starts to confront them. Nobody in the show is a good person, but they don't have to be moral paragons to be funny.
A show with perfect characters would be boring.
Doofus Rick was pretty good natured, but he eats his own shit
This is interesting to me because all the chuds who like Rick and Morty also say only the early seasons were good
The latest season is my favorite. What now?
