Does anyone care about this show on here anymore?
At least last season, there were generally threads for new episodes, but I have not seen one this year, period.
Season is pretty mediocre overall, can't recall a single interesting thing from the season, which is likely the biggest issue of the series for me, no real plot to care about, and no viral meme shit anymore.
Justin Roiland CARRIED the show.
The Simpsons and South Park have giant casts that always keep things fresh, Futurama has a smaller cast which is more like guest stars.
Rick and Morty doesn't really have this so they've exhausted all of the character dynamics so it's just retreading the same ground.
They should end the show especially without Justin or it's legacy will be tarnished.
>>212163394 (OP)Rick and Morty fatigue was already setting in before Justin got canned with all the women writers not being funny, but Justin getting the boot was just kind of the last straw for most people who liked the show originally. it's like a zombie simpsons thing, the entity wearing the name Rick and Morty isn't the same one that everyone liked.
>>212163394 (OP)>Does anyone care about this show on here anymore?Faggot ass OP does. KWAB
Its like a lifetime special where you just listen to Beth and summer bitch and moan about every conceivable thing in girl talk over a bottle of wine. Women staff writers have ruined the show and sectioned off the 2 best characters to nothing more than plot devices springboard the female complaints of Beth and summer
I gave up because the voices are weird and generally worse writing
the first few seasons are still peak cartoon kino tho
>>212163837I wouldn't have made the thread if I didn't, fren
I'm still watching the latest season but I'm getting close to dropping it. Of the 5 episodes of the new season thus far only 1 has been decent the rest have all been mediocre to bad. There's also a severe lack of humor this time around. If the new episode tonight sucks I might be done.
>>212165721how overbearingly preachy/girlbossy is the show now? how pretentious and up its own ass is it compared to before?
>>212165795Any episode involving Summer/Beth is guaranteed to have that shit
>>212163394 (OP)Nobody cares about Dick and Snorty anymore, it was a big meme to like it in the mid 2010s but it's not funny anymore so nobody talks about it
>>212165795The one decent episode is the one without any women in it because all the female characters are constantly bitching
I stopped watching midway through season 3 after it was obvious the new writers (mostly women added for quota's) were clearly all terrible
>>212163394 (OP)care is little, i watched all of it. crazy they are still doing the same tropes, (space fights, don't be racist and kid shit) the show is for 10โ13-year-olds but i like sound effects and the oddball lines when playing video games. rick is bastardized without Roland, in the new season rick talks like a ceo of a company it is so fucking off putting
>>212163394 (OP)are they really trying to keep the show going without roiland? what a grand and intoxicating foolishness.
>>212166287yes and they're absolutely crushing it. personally I had a blast with the latest season.
The recast rick VA is pretty much identical to Roiland's now, but the morty is fucking horrible, they should visibly age him up or something.
>>212163394 (OP)I still like it fine, but I was never a massive fan of it to begin with.
>>212163394 (OP)The replacement VO work is pretty bad, the guy can't really emote in those voices and the writing has suffered for longer than this current season. Like Futurama, the writers have drifted away from what made the show funny in order to jam their politics into it.
britishers...do you say twat rhyming with hot or cat
I don't like how rick says it
cringe even
>>212167060cat
twoht is a purely american thing
My biggest problem with the show is they still live primarily on Earth. They need to move the entire family to space and make it a space setting only show. Family space adventures that's it.
>>212166163I agree, the "epilogue of the Citadel" was the only really decent episode. I also liked the matrix one, but somewhat less, because of how terrible they make Summer and Beth act.
I miss the one episode where Diane was back, she was good.
I was already getting sick of the show but Roiland getting canned was the final straw
>>212163394 (OP)new writers are the same writers that run other shows, just repeting other plots from other shows but le rick and morty twist, is just slop at this point
happened to family guy, and it happened to rick and morty too
also it gives me the ick
Does the new Morty VA have vocal fry or something? I thought he was OK in his debut season, but in S8 it's a lot more noticeable that he's a different person.
>>212163394 (OP)About half of season 7 was very good and just as rewatchable as anything from the earlier "classic" seasons (such as the fear hole, and the clip show with the observers).
But I think this is because in s7 they tried to compensate for Roiland's absence by using some of the strongest story concepts that they had been sitting on, and would have held off on for longer if he hadn't been fired.
With season 8 the well has run dry, and it has only 1 decent episode out of 5 so far imo (decent largely because it's nostalgia baiting off of one of the best episodes ever)
Turns out 6 episodes every 3 years only works on bong tv
>>212168172I completely agree, and I can't see how they salvage the season without a decent plot development, or at the very least a funny episode.
>>212166997>The recast rick VA is pretty much identical to Roiland's nowNot really but yup it's way better than morty's.
I can't stand his screeching.
Honestly I've been muting his parts
>>212168241The easter bunny one could have been funny but instead distracts from its jokes by having all the family members behave weirdly out of character. Morty and Beth in that one are suddenly like completely different people vs the rest of the show
>>212168631Yeah, almost none of them act like themselves anymore, and not in a character growth way, because it is wildly inconsistent at times.
I'd dislike that episode less if Earth Beth was pregnant after the Easter episode, then, at least, things would get shaken up a bit.
>>212163394 (OP)The new writers are all unqualified DEI hires from what I've heard.
I noticed the stories shifted from wacky space adventures to stories about relationships and family drama.
So I stopped caring.
>>212163394 (OP)nah. i dropped it after S6 when they fired Roiland because he was literally half the show, and without him the serialized narrative spins-off into fan fiction. it sucks i'll never get to see the real resolution of Rick's story, but such is life, i guess.
>>212169075The last time Roiland was involved with writing or with any part of the show's creative process was back in season 3.
For 4, 5 and 6 he was doing the voices and nothing else.
Rick's voice is really bad in this episode, they really can't emote while putting them on.
>>212163394 (OP)It feels ethically wrong to continue watching a show whose star and co-creator was forced off of due to allegations that went nowhere.
you how they continually joked about not going back to the shitty one off adventures even though everyone is always asking for it? that's what the show is doing now and now you know why the staff constantly wrote in jokes about refusing to do it.
>>212170780Every episode so far has been a one off, but they haven't been good.
So what's the stopping point if i want to watch this show?
>>212170821Watch seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7, and skip 5 and 6.
Season 8 is bad so far, though we're halfway through and the remaining episodes *might* somehow redeem it saar
Beth says what if she married some other guy and then clone Beth says he died in 9/11. Beth is canonically 34 years old. If this episode takes place in 2025 then Beth was 10 or 11 years old when 9/11 happened. Meaning the guy they were talking about was a child who died in 9/11 or an adult who had relations with child Beth
>>212170821Watch up to season 6 episode 5, then decide if you want to watch anything after, if you make it that far, since that is the last interesting thing to happen in my opinion.
>>212163394 (OP)This isn't even rick and morty anymore. It's a formulaic checklist.
>matrix episode check>don't bother thinking about what is in the episode>its just the matrix episode>chatgpt write what happens in the episode>sequel to that one citadel episode check>chatgpt write happens
That episode was terrible lol
I like the show, I'm watching it right now. Its just goofy sci-fi adventures. But yeah, the story isn't there, its pretty nuch an anthology at this point. Also honestly I don't notice the voices anymore. I think the new guys do a good job. But yeah no more meme shit either, its not popular anymore, its just there. But I do enjoy it.
>>212163394 (OP)They must've lost their advertising budget. I've been a bit chronically online lately and I haven't seen a single ad for new Rick and Morty on any platform at all. I have however seen Smiling Friends. Adult Swim is rightfully kicking them to the curb and moving on. It was only ever funny because of Justin and it was dying but when they fired him it completely died.
>>212163394 (OP)Until they bring back Rick, and Morty, no/
who gives a fuck about this reddit faggot shit
>>212170096can you cite a source on that?
>>212163394 (OP)>4I'm liking the new episodes.

>At some point during the third season of Rick and Morty, multiple sources say Roiland simply stopped showing up โ and when he did turn up in the Burbank offices, heโd typically avoid the writers room.>In fact, Roilandโs colleagues often knew he was there only because they could hear his dogs.>Or theyโd hear his remote-control toy car, which had a microphone on top of it, zooming around the office.And then sometime in 2019 before s4 came out was the last time Roiland and Harmon spoke directly
M-MORTY WE'RE GOING PUNCH THESE FASCISTS IN THE FACE.

>>212176220tvids.tv has the ep
>>212163394 (OP)I still warch it but im not enjoying it since season 3..
>>212163394 (OP)If they bring back the sex pest Ill start watching again.
>>212163394 (OP)>the season's mediocre. why aren't people making threads?
>>212163394 (OP)Roiland was the soul of the show and it's trash now. One off episodes about smashing patriarchy or going to therapy are completely unwatchable
>>212170821Stop after first two seasons,fron third one show gets really bad.
Onions boys and bugman are no longer culturally relevant chuds are too obsessed with trannies and defending Israel to notice that someone bought a switch 2
the episode was alright, the earth world was a missed opportunity, you can come up with something better than b list celebrities with giant heads
There have been two episode this season which were some flavor of "Capitalism is le bad" which might actually be funnier than the show itself.
Do the DEI hires writing this shit realize you can't bludgeon capitalism to death with the mouthpeice of capitalism? Do they not realize this is the Mcdonalds schezwan sauce show?
american writers dont mention racism challenge - diffuculty impossible
>>212167383Space beth x1000
this situation but with jerry and two small beths
>>212168236what is with this phenomenon
>>212163394 (OP)i saw a promo with space beth and remembered how shit this became
That was a fucking awful episode
>>212163394 (OP)>Does anyone care about this show on here anymore?I tapped out at the end of Season 4. Felt like the show was really going downhill fast at that point and once Roiland got canned I knew the show was effectively dead. I tried watching a clip with the new voices for Rick and Morty when they first debuted and I couldn't take more than a minute of it. They should wrap it up at this point. The show had its time in the spotlight but that time has come and gone.
>>212165969>Dick and SnortyI'm calling it that from now on.
kek
Season 7 had some many top quality episodes. I've rewatched the season more than once. But so far this season feels off though it's had it's moments.
ep1 matrix idea was fun, wild west episode was ok, and ep5 with the cryo ship was a nice well-rounded episode, even with the capitalism allegory the message in the end was basically everything is fucked and not pure leftism.
>>212174679>article published in 2023i don't trust it because there was a smear campaign, but i appreciate you citing a source.
only 4 episodes to go and not a single good one yet
judging by the names they will probably be shit too, particularly "Morty Daddy" because they already made morty a dad twice (that sex doll thing and the incest baby)
oh god it might be a incest baby sequel

>>212180677>Season 7 had some many top quality episodes.The first episode with Hugh Jackman is awful. The Kuato episode is awful. The Ice T episode is awful. Air Force Wong, the Jerrick Trap. All of you have selective memory and almost none of you are worth conversing with.
>>212180994You didn't like The Jerrick Trap? What? Allow me to correct the record for you.
Season 7 great:
- The Jerrick Trap
- That's Amorte
- Unmortricken
- Mort: Ragnarick
- The Hole (Fear No Mort)
Season 7 average:
- Hugh Jackman (How Poopy Got His Poop Back)
- Air Force Wong
Season 7 bad:
- kuato episode (Wet Kuat Amortican Summer)
- Rise of the Numbericons
On the whole, not bad.
people dont understand that artists usually are depraved and sexually deviant.
the fact that they cancelled the main "inventor" of the show is what broke its back.
you gotta give artists some leeway if they procude high quality content, yeah so what if he touched some women, so what if he did some drugs? think of all the entertainment he brought.
back in the days it was different, kubrik was a complete nutjob and abused actors constantly on set, some to the breaking point, nobody even thought about cancelling him.
thats why today media is shit, and before all this it was great.

>>212181209If he hadn't texted those teenagers he probably could have gotten his job back. But no company that isn't protected by the tribe can afford to be the company that employs the guy who got caught texting teenagers. It's that simple.
>ok fine, but NOBODY wants to watch a Beths adventure
Holy fuck, Rick reading everybody's mind
>>212163582>They should end the show especially without Justin or it's legacy will be tarnished.lol
it will go on forever like Simpsons and Family Guy
>>212170821ignore the first 2 shit slurpers
this is the only correct take
>>212177738if you insist on watching after that, then just stick to the plot episodes
>>212163394 (OP)i just watched it for roiland, he was hilarious in adventure time
I'm still watching it, but it has been meh for a while now.
I think the new voices are surprisingly good, I thought it would be much worse, it's just that it lacks that edge, Rick is more kind and bland. It feels that I'm watching a homage to Rick and Morty rather than an original episode somehow.
>>212163394 (OP)it's not even mediocre, its just complete shit. i like rick and morty, and even the last season was somewhat decent. but the first few episodes of this season have just been so fucking bad, it's fucking unbelievable.
the new voices constantly not hitting the right notes is getting worse, morty is fucking terrible sounding
it doesnt even feel like the same show, and it isn't.
>>212163394 (OP)>Justin Roiland CARRIED the show.then why was it shit when he was still there?
>>212168631such a dogshit episode
>>212163394 (OP)The thing is they kinda already resolved the shows big mystery. The plot is already done. What else can you do now before it turns into family guy or the simpsons
>>212181227>I insist you don't reply, this is my last post in the thread.kek no its not
I only watched the first two seasons for the roiland factor. House of cosbies forever

They're not going for laughs they're going for claps from redditors
>>212178947bong media isn't intended for mass consumption and revenue generation, it's an art form. american tv shows get constantly renewed to squeeze as much money out of the same ideas, writing, art, sets, and *intellectual properties* as possible.
>>212163394 (OP)Last episode was the most painful 2020 writing i ever saw.
>>212163394 (OP)Watched the first season it's woke dei trash
S3 episode 1 was the series finale of Rick and Morty.
