>How did the Rick and Morty franchise lose so much steam so fast?

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 Ricks nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation of his personal philosophy which 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 and Morty truly ARE idiots, of course they would'nt appreciate, for instance, the humour in Ricks 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 Harmons genius wit 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. Its 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.
