>>94951321And my point is that as character development, that's pretty poor when it doesn't have any tangible effect on their decisionmaking and therefore the plot.
>>94951328>that doesn't meanOh COME THE FUCK on, are we watching the same show?! The entire FORMULA is Rick draggins Morty into degrading shit that cuts off any opportunities for personal improvement at the cost of him (sometimes literally) getting his rocks off.
I'd take a cheap way out over certain lack of agency any day of the fucking week.
>>94951319It's kind of a running theme that Rick is fucked up but also usually has a point, yeah. He's not wrong about Jerry being a passive aggressive little bitch, but he was the guy who put the family in that position in the first place.
>>94951329Our perspective is the only one we can use to guage his happiness. Also that's a stupid statement to make when Morty goes "guys I'm UPSET" the second he goes back to being himself, and the last shot is him looking wistfully back at Jessica, and all manner of evidence from 2 seasons of him generally not being happy about his life up until the detox.
