Rick & Morty: A Modern Tale Of An Alcoholic And An Incipient Beta

[The Beast1]

And now we have to wait another two f*cking years for the show to come back.

Honestly, this is what happens when creatives don't have the gauntlet over their head. There's absolutely no reason for this to take so long to do.

I'll be in my late 40s by the time this show wraps up because these two can't keep their creative process intact.

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 viewers 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 Turgenevs 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 ?

Really underwhelmed by the finale. Rick's invincibility and absolute superiority over everyone in existence smacks of gamma wish-fulfillment, and it's a dumb choice from a writing perspective because an invincible protagonist is boring. Also bugged by how this season didn't resolve things the show previously set up (Robo-Birdperson, Evil Morty, etc.) A few individual episodes were really good, but they seem to be writing themselves into a corner. And Summer and Beth are pretty boring, the amount of time spent on them feels like it's wasted.

Rick is the smartest mammal in the universe, it still doesn't mean he doesn't drive his family away and become the most targeted man on the planet through his arrogance.

We aren't meant to sympathise with Rick when he kills the security serviceman because he won't let the selfie go. Rick is an entertaining monster, but a monster none-the-less.

What are you blabbing about?

What merited the disfigurement of the ex of Summer? He deserved to be Kronenberged for having picked a girl with bigger boobs?

The show is well-made and has plenty of good moments.

But I would not call myself smart just because I like the bloody show. Many smart people for example also like Monty Python, but certainly not all.

Also your reference as to fucking only girls that come into 5 point vicinity is just dumb. By IQ 140 the women are just 30% of that group and it gets thinner the higher you go. After a certain level you are 99 blokes on 1 woman. No bitch is getting even to 10 points proximity to that IQ.

Whether someone is able to reference scores of TV shows and literature does not automatically make all points valid.

I personally like the show for a variety of reasons, but would not tattoo anything of someone's fleeting idea on my body.

Emancipator laid it on pretty thick so it was hard to miss. I think Zelcorpion just needs a moment to process the heavy sarcasm in Emancipator's post.

I think that copying troll-posts straight from Reddit is in itself bad taste unless he was the one doing it on Reddit. No reason to go NASA Test pilot here again.

The Gamma from Vox Day's male personality taxonomy.

Essentially its how nerds fantasize about their unrecognized and unproven yet obviously existing superiority in order to dissociate while being shoved into a locker or having a banana shoved up their ass and being marched down the quad while the frat guys yell "HEY EVERYONE LOOK ITS BANANA-ASS!"

Its just a copypasta, like:

"What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo."

Indeed. Except in the Inu Yashiki comic the guy used advanced Alien tech that could send electromagnetic pulse in bullet strength through the screens - and he was a deranged psychopath with a delinquent teenage mindset.

It's unrelated, but it's just troll revenge fantasy come true.



Inu Yashiki Manga - now anime movie. Who knows - may be a Hollywood flic one day, because the Japanese are currently far more creative than what the shitheads in California come up with.

It's a story about 2 men - one old and one young - whose bodies are destroyed by an Alien space ship in an accident. The advanced Aliens make it up by transferring their consciousness into 2 advanced mechanical copies of their bodies. One turns out to be a good guy, the other one becomes more evil with all that power.

Nevermind.

Mister Metokur weighs in:

 

[germanico]

^ Roiland started Rick and Morty as a parody of Doc Brown and Marty McFly from Back to the Future. In that one episode Doc has Marty suck his veiny dong to power the time machine. Like all TV, its made for morons, so, there goes the "high IQ" discussion.

Rick and Morty mania: how toxic fans turned a hit cartoon into a hate movement

...academics also see parallels with Gamergate, which sparked into life in 2014 online. The misogynistic movement was ostensibly about ethics in game journalism, but quickly turned into a mob that revealed personal information almost exclusively about women working in the videogame industry.

“There appears to be this exclusionary tendency based around gender – it’s a boy’s club, and girls can’t come into our treehouse, which then overlooks fans who don’t think that way,” says Andrea Braithwaite of the Institute of Technology at the University of Ontario, who has written about Gamergate and geek masculinity.

Many of the more toxic elements of the Rick and Morty fanbase consciously identify as geeks, not least because of shared characteristics with the lead character in the programme. “The protagonist is a cynical narcissistic character who sees himself as superior to others and acts out of self-interest, and it’s possible some audiences think that kind of a representation is an endorsement,” says Braithwaite. “They maybe feel like it’s not being understood properly.”
