Animation Dan Harmon's Rick and Morty

[MessiahDecoy123]

I'll gladly take quality over quantity.

 

[Maximus One]

Wubba lubba dub dub!!!

A key thing about Adult Swim is that they don't put rush their creators to put out shows. It's more of a "as much time as you need" kind of deal with most their shows.

It sucks to wait so long, but at least we have a time frame and I'm still looking forward to it.

Probably why Venture Bros has gotten more awesome with every season. I think them mofo's take almost 3 years between every season.

 

[Maximus One]

I'm still sore about season 5 having been shortened plus a couple places they took the characters I didn't like that much especially after the awesomeness of season 4. I expected so much more but what was great was REALLY great

 

[MadVillainy]

Damn thats a long wait. But IM sure it will be funny

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Bummer it'll take so long, but I'm sure it'll be worth it. I hope they bring Scary Terry back.

 

[John Locke]

Returns July 26th and they are the Couch Gag on the Simpsons this week.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Damn glad this is coming back on love this show

 

[Soapy]

Awesome. Can't wait!

This is one of my favorite new shows.

This Dan Harmon Quote Is Why You Need to Be Watching Rick and Morty

At Comic-Con today, io9 and half a dozen other reporters sat down with the writers and creators of Rick and Morty. We asked Dan Harmon why science fiction can be used to explore any experience. His answer made us wish we didn’t have to wait two weeks for Rick and Morty season two.

During the interview, we learned that there would be multiple adventures for Summer and some for Beth. We’re also going to meet a former lover of Rick’s, whose identity has an appropriately science fiction twist. The original template for the show—completely abandoned now—was grandfather and grandson having adventures in space with the rest of the family having more domestic adventures on Earth. Now, Harmon says, it’s a full “sci-fi sitcom.”

There’s an episode this season where Morty decides to deal out justice—filled with the righteousness of a teen going through puberty—and Rick has to stop him. The show is a “great puberty mix,” with Harmon saying that it’s the age where your consciousness is shifting and you’re figuring out if you know right from wrong. “You’re starting to be interested in girls, but do you know that they’re human beings, or do you think that they’re goddesses or monsters?” said Harmon.

The show pulls its science fiction from existing stories—The Fly, Back to the Future, and Doctor Who were all mentioned—but the issues of emotion, puberty, and domestic adventure all comes from their own experiences. We asked what it is about science fiction that allows the show to explore the real things in their lives, and got this answer:

Dan Harmon: I think science fiction is just a convenient modern incarnation. Jack and the Beanstalk would be called science fiction these days. Because that was the technology — you put a seed in the ground and it grows. And someone said “What if the plant was so big it went up to the sky?”

I mean sci-fi is just us living in a world where people are starting to realize that we’re inheriting the role of God. So we stop talking about magic cows and beans and witches and we just transferred that to something that feels, as it did back then, possible. People believed in witches back then. They thought that one lived next door. Probably because it was an effective woman.

Justin Roiland (Co-Creator, Robot Chicken): We should do an episode where there’s a witch and Morty’s all scared, but she just has a magical bracelet — well not magical, sci-fi —

Harmon: “It’s just a woman with agency, Morty! That’s where witches come from.”​

The season two premiere for Rick and Morty is July 26.

Love those guys

 

[Soapy]

People should watch it because it's a good show.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

^Understatement.

The show is the Breaking Bad of squiggly lined adult swim shows.

 

[Greens]

Reminder: Rick and Morty season 2 begins tonight

 

[Erzengel]

I almost wish I didn't watch because I just want to watch another episode. Last night's episode picked up where the last one left off. Worst part was I caught on with this show half season in last night and was able to binge watch like 3-4. Now, I have to wait a week each time.

 

[John Locke]

I forgot how much I missed this show. This is one of the funniest shows on today.

 

[GamerSlyRatchet]

I always love how they come up with all these weird, out-of-the-box ideas and always execute them well.

 

[the dmg]

First episode of Season 2 was fantastic. Especially the

Spoiler

Albert Einstein

after credit.

 

[Erzengel]

Rick: That guy’s the Redman Grumble pretending he knows what’s going on.
Morty and Summer: :laughing:
Rick: Oh, you agree huh? You like that Redmund Grumble reference? Well guess what? I made him up. You really are your father’s children. Think for yourselves. Don’t be sheep.

Classic.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Loved the Roy video game.

"You beat cancer and you went back to work at the carpet store? boo."

and of course, "Roy 2: Dave".

 

[Erzengel]

Loved it when he pulled out the gearhead's "gears" and put it in his mouth. LOL

 

[GamerSlyRatchet]

The whole concept of a Jerry day care center is hilarious.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

These first 2 episodes have been hilarious. Really love this show and how damn good it is every time

 

[Greens]

The Roy game was depressing as hell!

 

[Kaleb]

The whole concept of a Jerry day care center is hilarious.
