Pretty good chance after viewing the first episode of season 7, I'm done with the franchise. The last two seasons weren't great. The first episode of season 7 is giving me a depressing episode of jerks, everything sucks. There is no heart in the series, it sucks. Its repeats of old jokes. Do they have an original idea to use, not really.
At this point, its going to be a Bilibili.tv episode if someone says its good to view anything else.
You remember when Southpark did the manatee episode for family guy using random balls to write episodes? Yeah, the writers broke out an Excel spreadsheet and rolled a D100 to determine what to write as a script.
It sucks watching a franchise die, but its dead.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor 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 fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial 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 unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
