      To quote SFO: "When you got two people who based their actions on Nietzsche, and end up causing catastrophic atrocities on humanity, while constantly misinterpreting his message, you know you got someone's who's pretty tough to read", which leads to the more common quote: "People don't read Nietzsche, they read quotations of him and find them to be cool".

    "It's not just a show about an anti-hero, it's an anti-show."
    This line right here perfectly sums up why animated shows like Rick & Morty and BoJack Horseman are my favorite shows in the last decade. They both take so much cultural history that's been previously established in America media and constantly reframe and question it.
    Not to mention, I love the lack of limitations animation brings to the table when touching on serious topics. Rick's attempted suicide would be impossible for me to watch if it was live-action, if it was attempted with a gun or pills, instead of a sci-fi thingy machine that's generally beyond our comprehension.

    • @99sins
      @99sins 4 года назад +50

      I wouldn't consider Bojack to be an anti-show like R&M. Bojack does follow a pretty standard series of events like any other show, it just gives a fuck-ton more nuance and humanization compared to other shows that step into those kinds of topics.

    • @Joecraftnorris
      @Joecraftnorris 4 года назад +38

      @@99sins I think bojack horseman is definitely an anti-sitcom. The show originally presents itself like a goofy animated sitcom, but quickly becomes much more. The show presents a long storyline that runs through the entirety of 6 seasons, instead of resetting each episode like a traditional sitcom.
      However, the show most importantly uses it's sitcom-like appearance as a contrast to the reality of the show and to highlight a source of Bojack's depression. One of the main messages of the show is that there isn't always a happy ending and problems don't always get closure, in stark contrast to the messages of a traditional sitcom. Bojack had a miserable childhood, so his idea of a normal life comes from his time on horsin' around. However, this depiction of life is very different from his actual life. He constantly strives for an idealized, perfect life, and is constantly disappointed in himself when faced with reality.

    • @SSDriscool
      @SSDriscool 4 года назад +9

      @@99sins Eh, I would. Because when most shows in the past touched on things like MI and abuse, they tended to use those subjects as just window dressing and motivation for characters being "evil" and "violent". They simply glorified the subject matter. But BJH directly addressed that and many other thing, like Hollywood corruption, sexism, and a long list of other heavy subjects that are just used as plot points in other shows w/o be given proper respect or nuance. So, I would totally classify it as an anti-show: anti-hollywood culture.

      What is that even supposed to mean? Like is it because they name off tropes and sterotypes, and found out about anti-humor, maybe because they have a meta narrative and faux meaning shoved in?
      Yes they're "definitely" the first shows to be deconstructionist but lets also praise them for calling out shitty lazy writing by intentionally being shitty trope filled lamp-shading writing then not actually going on to show a better way of doing it, its fine to call out or parody a trope but you need to actually then show something better than that trope, you can't just say "haha aren't fart jokes so bad and cliche" without a follow up or you're being just as bad but with a lazy level of "irony"
      They both try to subvert expectations but its so shallow that the subversion themselves are at this point cliches in themselves.

    I understand the criticism of season 3, but I think the aimlessness was supposed to represent the effect of Rick on the family. Without the grounded, familiar input of Jerry, the family started to enter a downward spiral of becoming like Rick, and therefore most if not all consequences or meanings were devalued. Other theorists have said this before, but here are the general points of each season. S1: The family gets to know Rick. S2: The family and audience get to know Rick on a deeper level. S3: Rick toxifies the family. S4: The family learns and begins to become independent from Rick. I think everything that happened in season 3 was necessary for the audience to realize just how much influence Rick has on the family dynamic (the main narrative of the show), especially without Jerry. Season four was then the family realizing how unhealthy they are acting and rising above Rick's nihilism, finding purpose in things other than Rick. And I think a big part of that was Jerry. In 4x9 this change is illustrated perfectly. Rick and his daughter build a society of his "children" where nothing matters, and people are just valued on intelligence. Meanwhile, Jerry finds his own meanings and reasons for why things matter, shown through camping, and eventually gets God power, the power of "faith" if you will. Eventually, the two sides come in confrontation, and Rick is defeated by God only for the kids to kill God anyway, who themselves end up learning from their mistakes in the process. They realize that not caring about anything and being overconfident about their intelligence almost got them killed, and killed God in the process, basically symbolizing how nihilistic intelligence is the killer of faith and meaning. And yet, even as intelligence conquers God, God's corpse still crushes Rick's meaningless society.

Intrinsically, for Camus life is suffering (it is an existential axiom after all), but you can make the best of it if you take that suffering to be the way for happiness or meaning itself.
      And Nietzsche's "god is dead" quote is precisely about what Xylas is talking of. He believed that, having gone past through religion, the modern man would have to deal with horrors.

      A large number of the toxic fans were trend followers who have moved on to other things, and a lot of the cringy younger fans grew up and came to their senses.

In this, or should I say, my case, Revy oozes both confidence, independence, and power. Nothing fazes her. Not even some Terminator girl. She doesn't play any bullshit games and she doesn't have anyone else do her dirty work for her. She's like a demoness, emphasizing awful traits, yes, but also traits that I both deeply and selfishly want.

    I agree that Rick's drastically changed characterization took a turn for the worst in seasons 3 and 4. After watching season 5's lore filled episodes tho, What if it was all planned?(this is just a theory lol) All of those episodes that personified Rick as this godlike entity could've been used as a dramatic setup for season 5's end result; to further explain the central finite curve. Now that we know Rick isn't the strongest man in the universe and is the most vulnerable he's ever been, this sets up the show for more creative writing opportunities. Rick is now put in a situation where he can't runaway from his own problems. It lets us know that Rick's weaknesses never went away, they've just been lurking beyond the central finite curve. I'd like to think that this was the writers' true intentions all along. Could just be wishfull thinking. Regardless, Rick and Morty seems to be at it's peek again.

      It's not just the fandom, but the meme community as whole, especially for Reddit. I've seen a lot of Pickle Rick memes all over the Internet and I thought it's funny, even I haven't watched the episode yet.
      I don't know about you but saying that "women should be staying in the kitchen" for ruining the show is just... ridiculous.

    This whole explanation of why Rick and Morty is a family drama is exactly why the newer seasons aren't good. They sideline this whole relatable family element and it's just episodes that are all based around a single joke being repeated ad nauseum

    remember: those that idolize rick are missing the point. Just because our lives won't matter millions of years from now that doesn't mean that we can't work to improve the lives of our friends and family in the now. I do my damndest to help my sister raise my Nephew because I care about the two of them deeply, and I want my nephew to have a healthy upbringing that will net him a better adulthood later in life. If someone were to tell me my efforts were a waste and that my nephew wouldn't matter in a million years I'd punch them in the mouth and say 'it may not matter then, but it matters now' and that statement would invalidate their whole sentiment

What you teach them now is what they'll teach their kids in the future. It's a butterfly effect. One small butterfly flap can create a burst of wind on the other side of earth.
