It's just really toxic. There's also this weird superiority complex that like I'm better than you because I watch Rick and Morty. It's strange
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid
But really, I think zeberdee was asking about the Szechuan sauce controversy? If so, https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/22/mcd...to-return-after-rick-and-morty-fan-riots.html
Who would have thought that a show about a dude who is better than everyone, that is written by a dude who thinks he is better than everyone, is watched by a bunch of dudes who think they are better than everyone
Well yeah, us being better than everyone isn’t because of watching rick and morty, watching Rick and morty is just a symptom of it
Omg, a planet of crocubots. A whole world of cold, unfeeling reptile and also an equally cold, and unfeeling machine? It’s a planet of redundancy?
Woah, only 5 ep this season or are they splitting it up over a longer time so that could get something to air quicker?
they will take a couple weeks off over the holidays and come back end of Jan or in Feb with the rest of the season. they did the same thing for season 1
Yep, just watched it, very very good I thought. Waiting so long between seasons probably lets them spend a long time coming up with tons of ideas and polishing the content (as well as being lazy).
Loved the whole Morty turning down the chance to see Jessica and all her friends naked, only to be blessed by the post credit scene
LOL, I missed that. Just went back and watched. Amazing. Also, that's fucking disgusting Summer, get the fuck out of here. You ruined the season four premier.
Show is hurling some merciless salvos towards the most toxic and self important parts of it's fanbase.
