Where did this rick and morty hatedom come from. It was the shit literally yesterday and now everyone hates it.
I guess the “let’s hate anything remotely popular while promoting our own edgy avant-garde bullshit fandom” crowd had to get on it someday. Because people can’t enjoy silly memey cartoons anymore.
I don’t even watch rick and morty and this pisses me off.
I’ve actually WATCHED the first episode of the second show and…Let’s see just saw everything about the second image is misleading.
“Completely unpredictable” What it doesn’t say is that it follows NO LOGIC whatsoever so you don’t know what is suppose to be weird and out of place and what isn’t, what is suppose to be a joke and what is suppose to be serious, what is suppose to be bad and what is suppose to be good. No logic means no expectations means no build up means no attachment to the show.
“Style So avant-garde tt makes normies and art thots implode”
What it doesn’t say is that people implode because it was made in 2016 and looks like a bad PS1 game. Every character looks like it had trouble rendering, they all move in a style reminiscent of Foodfight, their model designs look like only a very slightly better version of the Rapitte Kids movie, everything looks cheaply made and it makes it very unappealing to the eye.
“Main Character defeats challenges through mind blowing philosophical insights”
Yeah…This is an outright lie: He beta the first challenge by making a digital flute out of a dog’s spine and a lady’s arm. But the main character talks as if he does which lends to the notion he is an egotistical ass but nothing about his interactions gives us hints in one way or another. about his character.
“Destroys the fabric of reality eveyr episode” What it doesn’t tell is that this sets a ceiling right at the beginning of the show: Either each episode must destroy the fabric of reality which you expect and it becomes forseeable or it doesn’t and it feels underwhleming. Not to mention since nothing makes sense, you react to that the same as everything: a deadpan “okay.”
“Extremely quotable and memorable dialouge” In the same vein as Doorbes or the Jimmy Neutron Family Hour: Being so stupid and surreal it becomes a “SO Bad it’s Funny” meme. Not in anyway objectively good.
“Multiple viewings are needed to appericate it’ Except that this is only if you are watching it casually and not with a critical eye in which you see what it is meant to be: Either stoner comedy or overwritten hypster bullcrap.
“Poses questions that challenge the fabric of human nature” While being mixed in with purposefully overwritten dialogue which would cause it to meld in with everything else or the question is phrased like it is but is the same as all the other overwritten dialogue.
“It’s actually funny” Only in an unintentional “So bad it’s funny” vibe which only works BECAUSE it’s trying to be serious and fails at it.
“Explores dozens of different themes every episode without spoonfeeding it to you”
Except t5hat the themes are pushed on screen and only explored through the same overwritten dialogue which melds together into a pool of pretentiousness that only serves the failure of the show’s attempts at being serious.
“Last Exactly as long as it needs to” To make a fool of itself trying to be serious or funny and failing in spectacular fashion.
“Profound characterizations” As in “Profound in the way a psychedelic trip is profound” since it falls in with teh rest of the absolute lack of logic.
“Leaves a profound impact on the view despite short length” IE “What the fuck did I just watch?”
“Geniunely educating in it’s subject matter” In how to not have any logic whatsoever.
“Only true Patricans can appericate it” Except that there is no definition for this word and it only means a ruling class of Riome which gives an are of condescension to the post and the show when in reality it’s just5 a way to deflect criticism.
ANd the last part was the onlyt part I got mad at and that is because it’s just used to insult and demean anyone who says anything bad about the show, criticism or not.. The rest is done in the most deadpan way possible because I feel nothing for the show and it ultimately becomes so vapid and uninteresting in it’s complete lack of logic or grounding I just don’t care about it.
I don’t hate the show but if you try comparing this to one of the best animated shows of the past ten years don’t be surprised if your show fails in under 5 seconds.
