Episodes 1 and 4 were cool, episode 2 was dragged down by its B plot, episode three... well you know what they say once is a coincidence, twice a happenstance, three times and its a fetish.
Between the dragon episode soul orgy of rick, summer and morty, the sperm episode where summer and morty have a child toogether and this, we've had 3 instances of incest in the span of 3 seasons, we've also had the morty in the citadel wishing incest porn was more mainstream, and one of the original episodes in the teacher's dream with the "intergenerational sandwich" of rick, morty and summer.
Someone on the writing team seems to be using the scripts as an outlet instead of paying for a real therapist.
Roiland legit has an incest fetish along with having a creepy pedo type attraction to the Summer character visual design (openly stating that he finds the character to be attractive even though she's explicitly under-aged).
For Harmon, his thing for incest comes from him being a god-awful edgelord type manchild who gets off on shocking people. Harmon knows incest is a button pushing topic that freaks people out and apparently one of the few taboo things Adult Swim will let him do on the show, so he's forcing it into multiple episodes solely so he can "trigger people" and laugh at them for daring to be offended by something gross and obscene.
I saw the Gotron episode last night and it didn't sit right with me. I don't think it was just the incest baby that was the problem.
Gotron was a horrible episode because it sums up the fact that Summer is a huge god-damn Mary Sue who NEVER fucking gets her comeuppance and is just as bad if not worse than Rick. To the point that I have to think the real reason Summers are banned from adventuring with Rick, is due to the fact that they inevitably betray their Ricks due to their inherent socipathic nature.
Something about Rick and Morty never sat right with me, but the first few seasons were well written and very entertaining. The latest season is absolute dog shit. Have they changed out all the writers? How can it be SO BAD?
They replaced half the writing staff with women for season three.
Also, I'd argue that Season one of Rick and Morty was dogshit save for Interdimension Cable and Love Potion Number Rick and S2 was a hot mess of half decent episodes and half crap. And that season three onward at least started addressing the elephant in the room from S1 and parts of S2 that Rick was a monster and a villain protagonist.
