I wish rick and morty was funny but unfortunately I am not a millennial.

SIC SEMPER VAMPIRIS

yeah it's fine the fans are just obnoxious. anyway i'm going to turn myself into a pickle before work tomorrow

This is just like Louis when he burned the Theatre in Interview with the Vampire. Anyway, have you considered reconnecting with a toxic ex?

The pickle rick episode is obviously about how rick does all this crazy crap because he's trying to do anything possible to avoid his feelings but the whole show is quite obviously about the same thing. The whole show is about how even tho he's got near godlike powers, his real nemesis is himself and his own egotism, which is a defense mechanism to help him avoid feeling grief and loss, and he can sometimes kind of recognize part of this but he can't really accept it about himself or overcome it long term. That episode is just the most explicit about it.

I actually agree 100%. This episode is a lot better than the meme status it has. You're in good company here, as others have expressed a similar sentiment: https://jstpst.net/f/GoldenAgeOfTV/2221/-/comment/4943

Around the time of season 3 coming out, Dan Harmon had pissed off a lot of the manosphere parts of his fanbase. First, they hired more female writers to explicitly address the gender disparity in the writers room. This made a lot of chuds angry, and Dan Harmon ended up having to publicly denounce fans who were harassing their new female writers.

During Season 3's airing, Harmon later went on a drunken rant on his podcast, saying that fascism is a cancer and you have to kill it. This angered a good chunk of their fans too.

Now, the thing about Pickle Rick? It wasn't just controversial for the "don't idolize Rick, therapy is good" message. A full year before Season 3 came out, we saw part of Pickle Rick as an early preview. It was the part where Rick, inexplicably a pickle, lures a rat to a trap to complete the last part of his rat-mecha contraption, before launching into a lengthy action-scene and power-fantasy.

It was released intentionally to stick in the mind. Pickle Rick was one of the most anticipated episodes of that season. And it really stuck the landing! A therapy named u/Akimble1 on the red site breaks down the final scene of that episode in a way that I appreciate: https://old.reddit.com/r/rickandmorty/comments/9vndo8/as_a_therapist_i_have_always_loved_the_shows/e9dk84z/

Oh so this is why... Birth of a post 😳

Shaft, rod, mast?

steak

fuck. you know what they use to put signs into the ground?

posts

certainly! writing about bacteria at 5 am soothes my brain apparently

I appreciate this post a lot, and I would now like to eat a squid perhaps

Thank you for this effortpost, it was a really interesting read!

Or maybe it uses the same technology as a pokeball.

her arm isn't amputated at the elbow

She could have a prosthetic. When she goes on a mission she leaves it on the ship and puts on the Gun one

you should be asking, how does the arm cannon fit inside her arm?

canon is that the entire suit is contained inside her body

how? because she is a bird :)

this is how i feel about joker 2

good time for lovers of bad movies that try really really hard

I only have 3 pots !!!!!!! Im a destitute student

how the FUCK does she curl into a sphere? is she a cat??

She's just cartwheeling really quick that it creates the illusion of a sphere

so literally plasma lol (both blood-wise and energy-wise)

It seemed like the confused dream of an extremely conservative old man on psychadelics. I don't really think even if I could follow it that it would have been worth following tbh.

It's really too bad, he's made a lot of classic movies. This is likely to be his last one and it's a real stinker.

I can easily stop thinking about it, as there is nothing to think about in this weak, miserable, limp facsimile of a film that wasted my time, your time, and the time of every single person that was involved in its production from the bottom to the top. 😌

isnt it normal to have more pots than lids?? you can't be using a lid on every pot that youre using at the same time

i can't believe you're asking me to cite my sources, this is so undignified
