>Justin Roiland: Wacky Rick & Morty adventures >Dan Harmon: Focus on the family & divorce >Justin Roiland = Pickle Rick, Dan Harmon = The therapy session
I know there's been in-fighting in the show, and I've kind of already noticed the divide even before I heard the news. Is this a fair assessment, and what other examples in other episodes are there between the two styles of writing?
Nah it's real and it's painstakingly obvioys from the current writing, feels like two shows trying to fight for airtime.
I hope Roiland wins...
Jackson Carter
Rick and Morty is just Steven Universe for adults.
Wyatt Williams
then who was responsible for Evil Morty taking over the Citadel?
David Wright
The fan. They wanted to pander to the fan at least once in season 3.
Adam Hughes
No, it's Ren and Stimpy for a new generation
Michael Phillips
I really hate Dan. Used to like his older stuff but lately his is just so annoying. I also hate how he plugs his other show like everyone is watching it and knows what he is talking about.
Like some celebrity plugging their book at every interview after every question, it gets annoying.
Dominic Peterson
No, somebody on the internet told me it wasn't and do you really think that somebody on the internet would just lie to me like that?
Mason Evans
>when this first aired people were laughing about it >now people are being offended by it
I hate Dan so much, need to get this fat fuck off the show before he completely ruins it
Cameron Perez
Because now the definition for "nazi" is anyone who isnt left leaning
Juan Ramirez
>Man bitches about a sauce not being back in his cartoon >Sauce gets brought back >wtf we created sauce
Remember when he got kicked off community for being an insufferable cunt and quality went up when he was gone?
Luke Bennett
Nah, there were people complaining about it back then, but it was a smaller portion compared to the generally positive vibes going on around about the show back then.
I'd say that the percentage of people who disliked it didn't increase now; just that, there's now a bigger percentage of people who are just generally unhappy about the show and the same people from before keep bringing it up now that the tide is on their side.
Jack Flores
I need source. Couldn't find any. Guess I suck at using Google.
Joseph Davis
Since Rick and Morty is done for a while can we just kick them to /trash/ until season 4 release?
Caleb Roberts
that whole swole thing was so cringe
Nolan Morris
...
Ethan Butler
>Because now the definition for "nazi" is anyone who isnt left leaning
but the guy in the episode was literally a nazi and had a swastika and everything
Have we gotten to the point where even Swastika wearing skinheads aren't "real" nazis?
Daniel Kelly
Dan and Rhoiland dismissed it several times, and they even pointed to Sup Forums as making shit up. It's just a bunch of people sucking on Rhoiland's dick, and mad at Harmon's SJW moods.
Carter Thomas
He wasn't referring to the content of the show but to the content of the world. Because the show depicts a nazi being assaulted for being a nazi, it can be interpreted that it's okay to assault anyone who you view as being a nazi.
Logan Smith
>Because the show depicts a nazi being assaulted for being a nazi, it can be interpreted that it's okay to assault anyone who you view as being a nazi.
Yeah I can see how that- wait no that's retarded
Kevin Barnes
guess we need to edit all WW2 footage to remove any violence against the axis forces, wouldn't want to trigger any snowflakes
Chase Taylor
I know, ludicrous, isn't it? Everybody knows violence is only acceptable against "dindus", and anyone you view as being a "dindu".
Blake Myers
>This is what Trumpets actually believe
Sebastian Green
It literally came out of his mouth during a ComicCon panel.
Gabriel Perry
I'll try to find it later
Eli Sanders
ComicCon Panel from 2017 ? 2016 ?
Gavin Perez
What an ass. Yeah, the whole promotion was a shitshow, but as a showrunner, he could have reacted better.
Cameron Walker
both are pretty bad >Harmon wants to bring in current year politics >Roiland supports NAMBLA Rick&Morty
James Morales
then post it, faggot.
Josiah Taylor

Luis Evans
Community season 4 was shitty, and even the cast admitted he was necessary. Honestly the Harmon hate around here is pretty much a meme.
Dylan Hughes
People are getting mad at the new Wolfenstein because, get this, you kill Nazis in that game.
Ignoring the fact that Wolfenstein is a game that's been around since 92 (81 if you include Castle Wolfenstein) and no one gave a shit until now because being an Alt-right frog memester is the cool thing with losers.
Lucas Myers
> content of the show but to the content of the world.
you mean the past 60 years of people calling everything they don't like nazis. Either you ignorant, a kid, or a retard to think this is something thats only happens recently.
Blake Rogers
>Have we gotten to the point where even Swastika wearing skinheads aren't "real" nazis?
Yes, and these people have never been real nazis. They wouldn't even have the balls to pinch a jew.
Justin Perry
>Have we gotten to the point where even Swastika wearing skinheads aren't "real" nazis? We have gotten to the point where neo-nazis are a protected class because no one can be a 'real' nazi.
Jordan Turner
Yeah. Pretty much.
Leo Lee
>Imagine being offended because a neo nazi got punched
This is me being a spiteful faggot but I've had to see his commercials for Harmonquest on every website I watch cartoons on; every time I hear "LET'S QUEEEEEEST!" I get really fucking annoyed
Ethan Edwards
Why do you people support works made by people with horrific ideologies, in an industry run by people with horrific ideologies?
Kayden Green
>Community season 4 was shitty >even the cast admitted he was necessary What? You lost me
Evan Morris
One third of the US, Morty!
Grayson Parker
There hasn't been fighting really, just disagreements on what episodes and ideas they want to pursue.
Roiland running the show 100% would destroy it. He's a depressed crazy person and without someone who knows more about the industry and writing to reel him in he'd go fucking crazy and probably produce an entire half an hour episode of Rick just on the toilet silently taking a shit. He's said a lot of times if Harmon left he'd probably ruin everything. I don't like Harmon's stuff much especially now that he's on board with the gamegrumps of all people but him leaving would make the show worse.
Easton Gutierrez
Pretty much every ep of season 3 outside the first one is soapbox bullshit
Camden Martinez
I like both side of the show. I like the adventure and the crazy shit. I like the family; the fact that despite being called Rick and Morty, the show also gives Beth, Summer and Jerry prominent roles. I like those crazy characters.
I think it's a nice balance. And without it, the whole continuity thing would be a lot less worthwhile. The whole "Rick and Morty left their own dimension to live in another one" revelation Morty made to Summer would have no impact if we didn't care about the family.
James Bailey
I bet you also like to punch Nazis, with "Nazis" being everyone who's read Brave New World and thought, "Well, wouldn't want to live there."
Brody Kelly
I like rick and morty. Its a good show.
Caleb Rogers
By what metric is anything made by mainstream media "good"?
Brody Turner
Justin >Parodying of classic tropes with provocative but loving humor Dan >"Deconstructing" tropes as a means of finding new meaning within the constant of the television business
I'll let you decide which one is better.
Landon Perez
So this confirms the sauce had nothing to do with Rick and Morty officially? The packaging was pretty clearly going for the Rick and Morty aesthetic.
Cameron Lee
No McDonalds just took the free publicity and ran with it.
Charles Fisher
How the fuck is that even related to what he wrote in the slightest you fucking retard. This is the angsty pseudo-intelletual bullshit people rag on the show for so much.
All he said was the show is nice and he likes it. Are you so jaded that you have to stomp around, have a tantrum, and complain about anyone declaring anything as good?
Caleb Johnson
Neither
Hudson Green
>Are you so jaded that you have to stomp around, have a tantrum, and complain about anyone declaring anything as good? Are you so cucked that you actually believe that the mainstream media can make good products?
Wyatt Peterson
>Because the show depicts a nazi being assaulted for being a nazi, it can be interpreted that it's okay to assault anyone who you view as being a nazi.
How many layers of victim complex are you on
Hunter Jones
You're either under 18 or need to stop pretending that you are. For fuck's sake, please grow up faster.
Hunter Richardson
Season 4 had some good moments but it was the weakest season as a whole both the premier and finale are some of the worst episodes of the show and honestly of television in general really.
But let the two bastards work if there's a bit of in fighting at least it means that someone still has a passion for the show. Can we also stop being offended by that gif? It happened before trump was running and well before whatever vague point the altright was making dropped the ironic pretense of racism and just became racist
Lucas Clark
Rick and Morty was never officially associated with the sauce, the writers just helped McDonalds make profit by making a forced meme.
Isaac Sanchez
>people arguing this is an "actual nazi" All I see here is a skinny LARPing faggot in a faggot T-shirt. I'm against being violent (and advocating violence) towards people who aren't actually being violent, even if they advocate violence themsleves. Fuck neo-nazis and fuck this scene.
Aaron Morales
>Everyone I disagree with is young and/or immature Liberalism at work, ladies and unspeakable hell demons.
It's true. If you think it's okay to assault a National Socialist, that means you can just call anyone a National Socialist and use that as an excuse to hit them.
John Murphy
>unlicensed integration >mcdonalds selling their own sauce without mentioning rick and morty It was a free product placement for no reason from your show, you retarded pig-man hybrid.
Justin King
They mentioned it jokingly at the premier. Doesn't make it true
Colton Jenkins
>When this first aired people were making multiple threads about it, entering multiple threads about it after just watching it, and coming on Sup Forums just to talk about it >Now the thread is filled with people who are close to apathetic about it
Wat happen ?
Dylan Taylor
They made the sauce before he culd use it in his animated show as a 'lol random reference"-- and it was a Disney Licensed sauce for MULAN-- he's really mad that they re-released their own sauce and made the artwork on it look similar to rick and morty fuck off dan harmon.
Luis Nguyen
he's a baby-- which s why that redhead left him i'm sure-- he is the weakest link on goddam harmon quest.
Daniel Stewart
False. My opinion is that everyone who thinks that mainstream = bad by default is young and/or immature. That's the hill you're fighting me on here. Now you can reply appropriately.
Isaiah Miller
You now realize that he made numerous diversity hires in order to not be voted out from Rick and Morty.
Jacob Edwards
Well, I'm of the opposite opinion. Worship of the mainstream is what brought us to this point in society, what gave us Antifa and BLM. The mainstream having a near-monopoly of the world's attention is why shows like Big Mouth go unquestioned by them, and why most people don't know or care about the growing sexualization of children.
Alexander Jenkins
Don't let your annoyance with Harmon as a person make you willfully obtuse. Making a reference to a brand in a show isn't nearly on the same level as convincing thousands of people that another IP is collaborating with you on a large-scale promotion, doing poorly at it and forcing said IP to share in the fallout without ever having consulted them. Bad business is bad business.
Free product placement =/= Fucking up something that was misleadingly promoted as a joint business endeavor without permission
Jack Bailey
Roiland should fuck Dan in the ass, like Rick did to Morty.
Ryder Murphy
But Roiland and Harmon were happy to receive McDonald's free fucking publicity when McDicks was sending them bottles of the shit and making jokes about it.
You can't encourage the meme then get mad when it makes your autistic fanbase look autistic. Also, you know, the ad stunt worked, because now a ton of people are talking about the shitty sauce and there's some level of excitement over it coming back in the winter.
Jackson Murphy
>if you think it's ok to put criminals in jail, that means you can call anyone a criminal and put them in jail
What's your point?
Jace Collins
If that's the case then, he should only be mocking McDonalds for their incompetence, not "unlicensed integration."
Had McDonalds handled the promotion well and the event had gone off without anyone getting stabbed and what not, he wouldn't be complaining. He'd probably be posting selfies with the sauce himself.
Jeremiah Nguyen
I see what you're trying to say, but the ultimate societal fallout of mainstream worship isn't synonymous with the simple status of an IP as a mainstream thing. The state of being mainstream simply means that the general populace is familiar with it. You'd basically be implying that anything you think is high-quality right now would be low-quality if nothing about it changed besides more people becoming aware of its existence.
A thing simply being known by the majority doesn't make that thing shit, but unconditional reverence of the state of majority awareness itself has shitty effects.
Parker Taylor
I see you're back to posting on Sup Forums, Justin. It wasn't even on the nose packaging on McDonalds side. They know perfectly that sauce is popular only thanks to RaM, they don't have to say SHIT or do anything to suggest that. Mindless crowds will make that connection on their own. Also implying that McDonalds should give a fuck what RaM creators think about that promotion or the way they market their own sauce is mindnumbingly retarded. It's their property, they don't own anything to anyone.
Adrian Davis
Season 4 was garbage.
Ryder Scott
>you can call anyone a criminal and put them in jail You just described rape on college campuses.
I mean airing on or being owned by a mainstream network or company. Rick and Morty was always mainstream, and the mainstream says it's okay to punch National Socialists, and that the right are National Socialists.
According to TV ratings, ratings for the show don't come back up to season 3 level until near the end of season 6. If you check the series trendline, the whole show averaged on a decline the whole time. (graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt1439629)
Samuel Turner
Receiving bottles of sauce as gifts with free publicity is one thing, but that's still not the same thing as planning an actualized business endeavor that plants real expectations in the minds of consumers and associates it with the brand's reputation. The first is a friendly gesture with nothing at stake. The second has very real stakes and involves a lengthy premeditation process before it can legally be put into action.
Even if it was successful and mutually beneficial, it's still a basic sign of respect to give a fucking heads up before you do it. "Hey, we were thinking about doing this thing where we directly reach out to your entire fan base and use your IP's aesthetic to advertise something. We know that this will most likely affect a bunch of people's opinion about your all your shit depending on how well it goes. Is that cool?" Even if it's not legally required, it's just common courtesy.
If somebody took half of the money out of your bank account while you slept, doubled it by gambling and deposited the winnings back into your account the next day, it still would've been nice to actually be aware that they were putting your money at risk instead of them just fucking doing it. Like hey, thanks for the favor but please don't pull that shit again.
Dominic Bell
Yea, Season 3 of Community was May 21, 2017? And they've done 4+ seasons since then huh?
Just go ahead and nuke your credibility with that obvious fuck up, why dontcha
Adrian Lopez
>Social Justice Warriors call everyone they dislike a nazi, since "fag" and "retard" are problematic, and "silly billy" just wouldn't cut it. >Alt Righters get so zealous in their counter-movement they put all their efforts into defending or identifying themselves as actual fucking Nazis. The all-or-nothing mental gymnastics of these movements is insane.
Logan Lewis
Look at this fudging silly billy
Thomas Roberts
>growing sexualization of children. Man, in my day we definately serialized children more then we do now.
Gavin Stewart
I honestly think there is no way Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland weren't in on the whole thing. Or at least, they knew it was going to end in the product actually coming back.
Isaiah Turner
>making a forced meme. Writer made a joke. Internet made it a meme.
Jacob Campbell
>Just go ahead and nuke your credibility with that obvious fuck up, why dontcha Didn't realize I was submitting a research article to the Nobel committee here. It's a small typo and you know it, I meant May 21, 2012 like in the link. If my line of logic is wrong then check the links for yourself and PROVE me wrong.
Also where does credibility come into this? This is an anonymous image board. Are you being meta right now by acting like how Dan Harmon does to anyone on his twitter?
Noah Bennett
What are you talking about?
Mason Brown
>They know perfectly that sauce is popular only thanks to RaM, they don't have to say SHIT or do anything to suggest that. Mindless crowds will make that connection on their own.
It's not about people not being aware that it's a Rick and Morty-related reference, genius, it's about the misinterpretation that there was actual involvement in the planning of the event by the Rick and Morty guys.
If you want to rant to Justin and Dan about why they shouldn't be mad because it wasn't legally necessary for McDeez not to put the interpretation of their work at risk, go whine to them about it. They're on Twitter. It's easy.
Chase Long
