Best Rick and Morty character?

Best Rick and Morty character.

>>148992528 (OP)
Not a high bar when All the rest are smug little shits but yeah as of now he sure is the most enjoyable character in the show

>>148992528 (OP)
He's the only member of the main cast who hasn't been "Rickified". Every other Smith has gradually just become a permutation of Rick, echoing his cynicism, sarcasm, narcissism and sardonicism to the point where they're essentially just lesser versions of him. Jerry, on the other hand, has stayed Jerry and has actually been elevated as a character because of it. It's why he plays off Rick so well in their episodes together - he's the only Smith who's actually distinct from Rick as a character these days, which naturally makes their dynamic a lot more entertaining.

I hate that specifically about Morty because he flip flops between caring about what happens to people (planetina bit with the miners) to going on sociopathic rampages because the plot demands it of him (latest simulation episode with the killdozer reference)

>>148992528 (OP)
How can he be the best when I don’t want to have sex with him?

>>148992622
>to going on sociopathic rampages because the plot demands it of him
Remember when Morty just started going around fucking slaughtering people because of that alternate timeline crystal because he wanted to get with Jessica?

>>148992639
Funny you mention that because my follow up example was the episode also with Jessica where he is... in an alternate time and Jessica gets trapped in a crystal... huh...

The quality of the show has definitely been irreperably damaged by the writers' baffling decision to make every single character Rick. I'm not entirely sure if they even notice what they've done, but you could basically interchange every non-Rick character besides Jerry in every episode and not have anything change. Every single adventure could just be Rick and either Morty, Summer, Beth or (to a lesser degree) Space Beth and very little would change in terms of dialogue and characterisation.

>>148992528 (OP)
Ew, no

>>148992622
Morty already showed sociopathic behavior way before planetina's episode...remember what he did to that dude who broke up with Summer?

this and Ludo begging Glossaryck to say he's proud of him just fucking cut me deep, and I had parents who loved me unconditionally so I don't know where it comes from

>>148993839
I would, I anon posted links. I only watched Ep1

>>148992622
I agree with your post in a general sense but I think we can cut the boy some slack for going on a rampage after spending a perceived lifetime as a soldier that can't stay dead.

grass tastes bad

>>148992601
If you me this back in S1 i would have called you a retard but theres no denyingnit starting in S3 to S4 he was the only semi likeable character. I stopped watching after 5 but I can only imagine its gotten alotnworse post Roiland.

>>148992639
>>148992680
Those are some of the best episodes in the series, fuck's wrong with y'all?

>>148992570
This

>nowhere to be seen those first THREE episodes
So this is why Season 8 feels so off...

Making a Rick a cyborg with literally infinite tricks up his sleeves was their first mistake

>>148996158
Season 4's got duds but is mostly hilarious, Season 5 is where the issues are in full effect and you start having second thoughts about getting 70 episodes approved for production

>>148997929
will jerry haters ever recover if his episode ends up being the first one of the season that leaves any kind of lasting impression?

I only watch for incest plots. With Roilands influence fully gone, is it over for me?

>>148992528 (OP)
I love Jerry sm

>>148998988
The promo where he breaks out of the ice is already a good indicator that we're gearing to get an all-timer. Lore fans are gonna be pissed that it's a one-off Easter adventure, so who knows what Jerry haters are gonna say?

>>148993817
Oh boy, can't wait!

>>148992528 (OP)
Stop trying to make Jerry a meme, anon. He'll never be a meme.

>>149002794
It's not a meme. Fan sentiment is largely turning in favor of Jerry over Rick. Jerry is a very consistent, reliable, honest person and is the butt of every joke because he's timid by nature. But the show has shown repeatedly that Jerry is ready and willing to go hard whenever he needs to. He's an earnest, well-meaning, bee-keeping man. Rick's just a stupid amoral asswipe who turned the fandom against Jerry just like he did Beth.

Tricia episode when

>>148992528 (OP)
That doesn't say much

>>148992528 (OP)
Why? Because he's literally you?

>showrunner for seasons 5-present
Has he been doing a good job?

>>149005314
I appreciate all the course-correcting he and the team have been doing with S6 onward. The character writing is still flawed, but it's been improving little by little

> just like he did Beth.

Why does this board and the rest of the fandom always defend Beth? I hate Rick too, but let’s not pretend anyone’s turning anyone against Beth- she’s awful. “She’s so traumatized by Rick, Rick did this, Beth did nothing wrong :’( ” isn’t a fucking excuse. Jerry is the only likable character- I’m not sure why you fags love Beth so damn much, I don’t feel sorry for her anymore. Sure I hate Rick a lot more, but I also hate Beth. I’ll never get this board’s needs to baby her and to make excuses, same for Space Beth. Rick didn’t turn the fandom against your traumatized queen, /co/. she did it to herself.

>>149007633
No, you misunderstood. I was saying Rick turned Beth against Jerry just like he turned the fandom against Jerry. But yes, Beth has always sucked. Rick Lite on purpose, what a fucking goal.

>>149003519
The current writers don't have the balls to tackle a Tricia episode head-on

>>149008121
Ah, sorry I’m just used to fags making excuses for her. But you’re right.

Jerry.

>>149005314
could be better could be worse

Need Jerry NOW

>>149011065
For what specifically?

Didn't /co/ think the Jerricky episode was mediocre? Jerry episodes are not as infallible as you make it sound.

>>149012535
That's because it stopped being about Jerry and Rick like 3 minutes in. The episode became about what the merging of their personalities became.

Even then, it was still a step above most of that season

Why do the writers hate Morty so much? He has no drive or motivation as a character anymore.

>>149012840
I prefer him this way because Morty past season 2 shifted between baby Rick and Doomer-Coomer willing to blow up orphans for pussy. The first one was boring and annoying and the second one has only been funny twice.

This morty feels like a healthy mix of seasons 1 and 2, and 3. He's able to run errands for Rick, he isn't as freaked out as he used to be and has become accustomed to all the sci-fi hijinks so he's obviously developed a bit, which I think is good and natural. And I think the moralfagging like in the crow and bigfoot episodes also makes him a good contrast to Rick

What kills it is the show's constant need to backtrack. One minute entire season finales are dedicated to Rick treating Morty with compassion, and in the next we find out he apparently doesn't respect him. Like what?

>no episode spent in boob world seeing giant titted hotties while the plot happens
WHYYYYYYY

>>149009122
she looks like a whore and that's a good thing

>>148996158
I love Aardman Rick

Why didn't he stop 9/11?

>>149012248
To love

>it took three episodes for them to abandon *our* Rick and Morty to go on the 'Citadel' episode
Wow couldn't even wait until Episode 6 or 7.

>>149017204
I get the impression the writers fucked up and made the main characters boring to themselves. It's not even that positive character growth is bad storytelling, it's that the writers are incompetent.
