Welp time to wake up a sleeping thread.

Anyone see the Season 5 premiere yet? Here's the episode on YT

I thought it was alright. I'm not sure if I really like Morty turning into a Rick Jr the way the show is shaping his arc up to be but I did like that Rick wasn't an OP God and actually got put in his place for once by ripoff Namor.

Honeslty that's good. The show really gets annoying how OP God Rick is. So I'm happy there changing things.

Decent episode. That "we're white" bit with the cops is the most hack and obvious joke anyone could make in 2021, as was the global warming and sex positivity stuff, but I like the shit with the faggot sea man and the concept of time flowing differently in that other dimension leading to it becoming a cyberpunk future is a really solid concept. The concepts were always the best part of Rick and Morty to me. I didn't feel too talked down to, so that's a plus.

Anyone remember the time Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland offered Kanye West a chance to give new ideas for a Rick and Marty episode? Allegedly, executives behind the scenes scrapped it from happening.

The magic of R&Ms writing tarnished fast in season 2, and its not present in season 5. Did this show become cringe humor between when I last saw it? I don't need to know about a gay aquaman, it sounds like a lazy attempt at making the show a Villain of the Week thing.
Can Adult Swim just bring Aqua Teen back already?
Count your blessings
People are already posting about how this episode proves that Jerry is now queer.
We already established he was a loser.

It kind of climaxed in S3's premiere where they established that Rick is cartoonishly OP to the point I refuse to believe he isnt a shameless creator's pet/avatar to spew the creators' political and idealogical beliefs. Im not gonna say that Rick never had degrees of this but they still tried to make him somewhat vulnerable consistently, both physically and emotionally.

Him realising that he could never be with the love of his life because of who he is and what she wants to be? And Rick being so crushed that he decides to end it all, only just barely escaping a suicide attempt? That stuff was great. It proved that Rick can feel love, which shows he is rather a hypocrite when he described love in that cynical manner in the love potion episode, and you would think that was the whole point. Rick is not meant to be right. For as near omnipotently smart he makes himself look, he is still an extremely flawed man that is meant to have seen it all and developted a misotheistic view (yes, I legit never brought he was an atheist, he met the DEVIL for fuck's sake. He knows there is a God, he simply hates Him with a burning passion for various reasons, some obvious, some not)
Then the finale of S2 was meant to imply that he was ready to sacrifice everything for his family, including letting his sins catch up to him.

It kind of reminded me of Dr Manhattan's arc in Watchman. Guy is an all powerful god that could intervene but he doesnt see a point. He doesnt care for humanity and heis tired of pretending otherwise. He doesnt believe in a God because he IS the god. The whole point of his ending was to realise that there are things that he cant understand, miracles that he knew to be impossible. He realised that he isnt all powerful if he couldnt see that coming, despite being able to see both the future AND past...and he is glad for that. He is a god that believes in miracles now and that human life has a value that while he cant comprehend, he knows its still there.

Oh yeah, then S3 happened and turns out that everything S2's finale did was APARENTLY all part of the plan and Rick was never truly in any danger. The writers of the show are honestly rather schizo over if they want to preserve a status quo or change things up. S3's finale was all about confirming and preserving a status quo and sweeping everything under the blanket, thinking that just because that they admit that they are doing just that, it still isnt an insult to the audience.

I legit could tell the series wouldnt go anywhere anymore and it would simply be the situation of the week show while Rick just author's pet his way out of every situation (Unless the plot needs to pretend he wont for a minute because the show still needs to try to pathetically sell you the illusion of danger).

I saw that my problem was believing this series was going somewhere and that there was this overarching character arc. I legit gave them too much credit.
 
Watched the new episode and it was decent. Better than anything in season 4 (not that it is an achievement), but really the only thing that saves it is the Narnia plot that's just a reframing of the car engine plot.
The parents plot was disgusting cringe that was meant to appeal to queers, judging from the bought out articles about it. Ironically taking the joke about Jerry being a cuck from past seasons and acting like it's a good thing (which is a good barometer on insane politics got).

I think the worse thing about the show right now is Rick. If they write him out all together and stick to Morty it would be decent since Morty is far far far less grating.

I think because I have realised that Rick's constant punch line/jokeis that he is drunk, genius (tho how far depends on the writer), nihilistic (tho sometimes he is a straight nihilist and others times more akin to atheists on reddit that begin praying the moment their lives get slightly tough) and just an AWFUL person to be around. And thats really it, there is little variation. Rick is the asshole character with no redeeming qualities so why would we want to watch him further?

This is completely right. What an interesting setup season 2's finale created and what a slap in the face that season 3 just chose to reverse everything, even if we got the hilarious currency scene. I mean, you had two opposition forces and in the first episode, chose to destroy the Citadel of Ricks AND the Federation? I still held hope for the show with the Citadel of Ricks presidential election episode since that one was fantastic (probably because the main OP Rick wasn't there), but then they went an entire season without bringing it up again so that's when I lost interest. I may come back once the Evil Morty vs Rick episode comes in but I expect to be disappointed by that.

Although the time travel episode in Season 4 was funny at least.
 
Season 4 is almost completely a blur to me. The only episodes I remember are the Story Train episode, the Heist trope episode, and the finale. I remember the first two because those episodes were so annoying, I almost couldn't finish them as the jokes were obnoxious and repetitive. And the finale was the only episode that I thought was legit pretty solid.

Everything else...Christ, I am struggling to remember them. I remember something about a Dragon Orgy and Rick's super private toilet, but not much surrounding those things.
