>>115390471D- Did you just call Rick and Morty a cartoon?!?
You fucking fool, Rick and Morty is more than just a "cartoon". Rick and Morty is a fucking artistic masterpiece.
I love Rick and Morty. It's a smart show with clever, rapid-fire dialogue, it plays with genre expectations, and it toys with philosophical notions in a way that few shows ever do. The existential idea, that infinite parallel worlds means that you are responsible for the meaning you get from your choices, is one that I've rarely seen dramatized on television. I understand their fan base can be easily stirred into a frenzy, but I don't watch shows for their fans.
I can also admire Rick without wanting to be the curmudgeon that he is, or admire Morty without being the whiny pushover he is, either. Part of the show's success is that, for all the credit Rick gets for solving problems (many of which he caused), he really would be lost without Morty. That's why he was “okay with it” on S2E1 (“A Rickle in Time”) when he thought he was going to die after he saved Morty. Both are incomplete people, which is why, to really appreciate the show, you need to see the events through both their eyes.
But I guess you'd be too empty headed to understand...
