The most poetic thing I've come to notice about this show is Rick's efforts to dismiss the existence of God. He has time and time again tried to proclaim his place as God by emulating what he thinks God is, and continually denounces religion in the face of his own Hubris, the kicker being that he prays to God the moment he's powerless. It suggests to me that he is always going on Atheistic tangents and trying to cement his place as a God among mortals in an effort to win his God's acknowledgement, because his own hubris veils his eyes from seeing the truth about himself. The Ricks Must Be Crazy indicates this with his spite for his universe's creator despite the fact that he was the creator of his battery Universe and the tiny verse's within it. A Rickle in Time indicates it's a facade with his prayers when he thought he was going to die, and his subsequent response after he fixed his collar.Something Ricked This Way Comes validates religion in a sense with the existence of the Devil, though it gets overlooked in later seasons most likely due to continuity errors. Whether intentional or not on Harmon's Part, it makes this show more Christian than it does Nihilist or Atheist in retrospect. Another observation is that without Jerry is far more competent than he's made out to be in the show. Without Rick, Jerry becomes more competent and becomes less dependent on Rick and Beth when he is forced to step up to the plate. With Rick Potion #9, the moment Rick was no longer in the picture, Jerry stepped up and saved Beth despite being willing to commit suicide if he found Beth cheating moments earlier. Despite earlier seasons portraying Jerry as stupid based on his irrational responses, his peeing on the floor schtick in Lawnmower Dog could be seen as a smart move considering snowball and the other dogs didn't act aggressively and dismissed him as a legitimate threat as a result, not to mention the implication of castration Jerry shrugged off as a haircut. Jerry is most likely not a genius, but his antics whether deliberate or not allow him to contest with Rick and Beth married him for a reason despite being the daughter of the Genius. Big Trouble in Little Sanchez speaks for itself. The general idea is that Rick is hailed as a God and Jerry is hailed as retarded, though the show demonstrates the opposite depending on how you look at it. Anyone else notice anything interesting about this show, intentional or unintentional?

Finished watching Solar Opposites season 3 last night. They left us with not one but THREE cliffhangers which will probably never be resolved. The Silver Cops, the Wall, and whether or not the Pupa will let them quit being "normal" before they kill themselves.

>>32467 Okay, let's be honest here, guys. How many of us think Roiland is just an autistic monster who loves beating women with his fists, and how many think his wife kept pushing his buttons until he fucking snapped so she could get his money? Because the lessons of Current Year teach us that the latter is more likely, but we won't know until the trial, and maybe not even then.
>>32468 Anon, multiple staff have attested the dude's a completely unhinged man child that doesn't interact with anyone. He spent all his time, when he did show up, playing with toys in his office. That's not a healthy minded person.
>>32468 Even if he was justified in beating his wife, he's close friends with a guy who's on the Epstein logs. I wouldn't be surprised if he and Dan Harmon were swapping CP.
>>32468 I'm not gonna question the idea that a shitty manchild writer beat his wife after being investigated for two years before his arrest. Save it for people who actually have some evidence of being innocent.

>>32474 >Anon, multiple staff have attested the dude's a completely unhinged man child that doesn't interact with anyone. Multiple female staff who were hired on during the "WE HAVE ALL WOMEN WRITERS! PICKLE RIIIIICK! NOW I'M WRITING SHE-HULK!" era. I wouldn't interact with those sue-happy cunts, either. >>32480 >he's close friends with a guy who's on the Epstein logs. See, THAT'S something to make me rethink my position. Not that "4th wave feminists are butthurt that he wouldn't do anything lawsuit-worthy" shit. Thank you for having an actually argument. Still, that's not proof he's a spousal abuser. I'm sure lots of people went to pedo island and didn't walk back into the office on Monday telling everyone how much fun it was to fuck and eat a kidnapped child. >>32483 >Save it for people who actually have some evidence of being innocent. That's not how it works. They have to prove he's guilty. They've built a case, yes, but now they have to prove it in court. If he's not convicted, then things get interesting as far as wrongful dismissal lawsuits. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised how many of you guys just went along with the narrative that he's guilty. MeToo should have been to root out the pedophiles and rapists from the industry. Instead it's used as a scourge to anyone that people don't like working with or by who they had their advances rejected. Vic Mignogna's a great example, as is Johnny Depp who literally maimed by a woman who tried to accuse HIM of the abuse.
>>32484 Roiland probably didn't do it, but he wouldn't give other men the benefit of the doubt, he's a massive SJW faggot who was on board with the aforementioned "WE HAVE ALL WOMEN WRITERS!" thing. He reaps what he sows.
>>32508 >but he wouldn't give other men the benefit of the doubt Ah, now that is interesting. If he lived by the sword, he can die by it, too. Who did he have a hand in cancelling?
>>32516 I don't think he cancelled anyone, he just virtue signaled a lot. Happens a bunch to these Gen Xers who shitposted a bunch on the internet and then get remorse despite being awful fucking people, a lot like their favorite series and hero, Bojack.
>>32632 Anon, if the Simpsons, Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, and other shows with immensely unfappable artstyles have porn, why are you surprised about this? (Also, the show constantly brings up fetishes for jokes and had an entire episode centered around incest, so don't be too surprised)
>>32632 Fujoshis. Not even kidding.
>>33444 MGTOW/incels are completely fucktarded and just want an excuse to be miserable. There are women out there banging the shittiest looking numales.
>>31628 I wish somebody archived his interview in a bootleg version of Channel Awesome, he was ripping a new asshole to Disneyfags while the editor (who was nothing but a disneyfag herself) was about to burst into tears while the camera crew kept laughing believing she was acting. The only time Harmon looked like an adult.
>>33448 Either those numales have ungodly amounts of money or social status, or they're not actually getting laid at all and are just beta orbiters that get close enough to trick fools like you. And even the ones with money and social status are still getting cucked. MGTOW are largely guys who might be able to get some woman, but know the women they would get aren't worth the effort due to behaving like the above. Incels might not know but it wouldn't matter since they don't have enough money or status to get laid anyway.
>>33460 To be fair, marriage is a joke and the concept of bringing a child into this world seems an ever crueler joke. >irrational contempt against women. Yet women are encouraged to have irrational contempt against men and that is never questioned?

>>33478 I have so many, many more pics, but you get the idea. When I was young, I believed women were our equals in most areas, but I've come to realize that even very intelligent ones are prone to lapses in logic, compassion, and realism.
>>33479 When was the last time you've seen women working in construction areas? Moving heavy shit or at least as car mechanics?
>>33493 When they say workplace, they mean white collar office jobs. Of course men will be allowed to work the hard labor high risk high reward jobs. Juan Pedro needs to mow their lawn, after all.

>>33493 I'm so glad you asked.
>>33497 >high risk high reward Though they are continually removing even those rewards. That guy who got black lung from working in the mine for 40 years is an oppressive shitlord. Good thing all his money was taken in taxes, if not just alimony and child support for kids the wife took when she decided she wanted to fuck other guys in the open instead of just behind his back.
>>33511 It's looking more like every day people are losing their job benefits & money.
>>33503 >How you convince them? When society has finished breaking down, there will be a period of readjustment where women will attempt to hunt, fish, fight of ravening men...well, basically just try to survive. Suddenly, and without warning, they'll all simultaneously realize that they need a man for food, protection, shelter, etc. and they'll suddenly stop looking for men who are over 6 feet tall and will instead look for men who always seem to be well-fed. The die-hard feminists will just... die easily.
Just watched all of rick and morty, I gotta say that this show is really overrated. It's a wacky little show and it does a good job of actually upping the stakes by making more and more things that rick is actually not able to fuck around with, getting himself into shitty dilemma week after week. The show also loves talking about how shitty it is to be meta while getting very meta once every 4 episodes, the whole nature of it is just very wishy washy. I really hope that if they do a season 7 they just end it after that, tie up the whole story about how his wife died and end with everyone in the show just being dead.
>>33635 >I gotta say that this show is really overrated. Give Solar Opposites a shot. I find it better.
>>33635 It's pretty much like you hoped for, anon. It's funny, all it took to make the show memorable again was kicking out Justin Roiland off the show. S7 has actually good episodes, at least in relation to the rest of the series. I'd say only Seasons 1, 2 and 7 are worth picking up.
>>33659 >Solar Opposites Are you kidding? That show is about as shit as it gets. It's just "haha we referenced some other pop culture" about 10 times a minute. The terrarium subplot is good but that's only because we know it's set in a glass container, it wouldn't be very interesting if it were the only story.
The Devil could very well have beaten Rick and got his soul. The Devil opened up a shop that gave away items which would ave a positive effect and a negative one, the purpose of this was stated to be that the Devil was trying to harvest the souls of the patrons through these items. Never was it established that the negative effects of the items was a necessary component for the soul to be reaped from the person who had taken them, very possibly the Devil was still getting those souls eternally damned to Hell. A clever trick of the Devil would be to move into the town Rick lived in, hire his granddaughter to draw the guy into his shop, and trust in his ego to help him claim the soul of just about every person in town, including the scientist himself. Even if this wasn't the case, the Devil need only claim this was his intention to Rick after he had finished selling the items he removed the curses from and he'd have claimed a victory over Rick by breaking him with the belief that he had damned himself and so many others (which would be a wound upon his ego). Then all the Devil had to do was move shop to the next town and begin again. It's also inconsistent that in this and other episodes Rick, who claims to be a nihilist that believes in nothing, has a problem with nazis and pet abusers. If he is truly above petty morality, he'd not be offended by a swastika-clad skinhead. Furthermore, as someone who claims to hate authority he's pretty chummy with the president of his country, the USA, one of the most corrupt places in the world. He says he appreciates honesty, so why'd he be against a fascist takeover? To him all governments are fascist, but at least actual fascists are honest about their intentions. I hate pseudo-nihilists who act like they don't have principles but then act exactly like they hold the same moral/political sensibilities as the prevailing culture from which their author hailed. Like "this guy is such a cool dude he doesn't care about anything" until he actually has to take a stance where he disregards some topic that mainstream society would actually judge him for not agreeing upon. That's not to say that a nihilist character cannot be against fascism or animal abuse, but he'd be opposed to these things on the basis of what he personally likes or dislikes, he would judge everything by what he feels about it and by no other standard. Rick Sanchez isn't even a nihilist, that's what a lot of people miss about him, in the Devil episode one of the first things he does is confirm that objective Evil does indeed exist in his opinion. In another episode it's shown that he created a hybrid of Lincoln and Hitler to see how a combination of perfect Good and Evil would function as a single individual, so not only does he believe in objective moral standards for Good and Evil, but he can also identify what kinds of people would best embody these values. It's not like it doesn't factor into the plot in a significant way, he frequently refers to Good and Evil in subtler ways as they inform his actions. To say he's a nihilist is to ignore the ample evidence to the contrary. Rick is not philosophically inclined, he is in every way a reflection of his creators, I believe one video I watched said it best:"Rick Sanchez is a smart guy written by a dumb guy who thinks he is smart, but has no clue about what intelligent people are actually like". Rick is a marty stu who was in many ways a reflection for how his creators wished they could be. Kind of like how all these anime protagonists are wish fulfillment for the nerdy and horny men who drew them.
>>37572 I prefer "cringe edgy" to the "safe edgy" that is so ubiquitous in western media.
>>37573 I wouldn't call it cringe edgy and safe edgy. One is edgy but earnest, the other is obsessed with audience approval, afraid of saying anything meaningful.
