You have complete control over your franchise of choice, what are you retconning? (lemmy.ml)

The boss walks in, there's someone on the phone for you:

Phone: "Hi, I'm the leader person behind that book/television/film franchise you complain about online and gee-whiz, you're right! We want you to run things from here on out."
You: "Do I get supreme retcon powers?"
Phone: "Of course! We'll even retroactively edit in your changes!"

Huh, that was easy. What are you changing?

Make the latest rick and morty season actually funny and good.

Ironically, that would probably end up with a different season of slop

The writers haven't been subtle, though the episodes they've been directly saying they don't know what people want from them and they keep getting told to be more like season 1

Well, we got something like season 1. The characters undid their character development and the episodes are aimless riffs off of classic sci-fi and cosmic horror

I think I'd just get the writing staff off of social media and pay them to hang out in a comfy room until they have an idea they're excited about again

roiland was sadly a cornerstone of the show.

He really wasn't. He had been out of the writing process for multiple seasons, they had him recording off site

The cracks have been showing for years now, I won't deny he has an energy to his voice acting, but the replacements are fine. The problem is the writing

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

I'll agree with that.
