Have you ever hated guardian of the galaxy so much that you wrote entire episodes for both of your tv shows about how much you didn't like it?

it was about superhero movies in general

I really dislike Dan Harmon.
You can tell he was bullied as a kid and never ever got over it.

What did he say? The movie was bad? EPIC XD
(Second one was pretty bad 2be fair...though he's hardly the one to make such a critique)

I actually liked the second one. Despite the quipiness, it had the most heart of any of the Marvel movies.

>both of your tv shows
R&m and...?

>you can't parody something I like

Vindicators 3 does an excellent job of encapsulating everything bad about Rick and Morty.
I wonder how the show will be now that Harmon's on the shit list.

post link to the scene and ill gib u succ

He complains about his mom leaving him in a tub of cold water as a child. He's in his fifties and refuses to bathe and cannot stop shitting himself.

He really is a distasteful person. He revels in his personality flaws to harvest comedy from them, which all well and memey when it just fucks up his own life but he's a shithead to everyone around him and keeps sabotaging his projects hundreds of people work on.

Community

It came off very cynical to me. Probably just not my type of film anyway

Have you ever been so emotionally unbalanced that you coped with your divorce by altering the formula of your hit show so that each episode revolved around the metaplot of a pathetic loser getting back together with the woman who left him?

It's the moment he gets any sort of praise. Whenever he starts a project, the first part of it usually pretty good. He puts a lot of work into it.
But then the minute people start saying that it's good, he transforms into a preachy arrogant prima donna.

He would have flourished in the time before the internet.

What was the entire episode dedicated to bashing Goth? I remember there was a one off line complaining about how boring marvel movies are

It was garbage. Characters shout their arcs on screen and solve them by monologuing, any moment of tension has an joke immediately after, there are no surprises from beginning to end. The scene in which Yondu kills everyone on the ship was alright but it doesn't nearly make up for the remaining borefest.

I hear he's leaving the Reddit and Memey writing room. Maybe the show will improve without that annoying nihilistic and family shit that dragged the show down.

Hi Dan, hows the harassment case going?

Even Roiland, who should be sucking Dan's cock for helping him get a hit show off the ground, is awkward around him and doesn't seem to want to work on any future projects with him.

What harassment case?

I really wish this fucker would be dropped from the entertainment industry. Just an all around cunt.

Jesus what a tool.

Don't you faggots hate GOTG? Why are you allowed to whine endlessly about how much you hate a dumb movie but someone like Dan Harmon isn't?

Who is "we" kemosabe?

Vindicators wasn't funny, it was Dan's little rant on why he thinks his show is much better than capeshit while being needlessly edgey. Poking fun at the superhero genre isn't new, and can be pretty funny. Dan just can't balance humor with his own hatred

Because there is a difference between whining about a movie on an Bhutanese hambone forum and using your job as a platform to whine about a movie. It's be like going to a restaurant and the server sits down and whines about a film they watched a couple weeks ago as you're trying to eat.

>Don't you faggots hate GOTG?
No. But I'm also not a faggot either.

because i'm not trying to be pretentious

I enjoyed 1 (Though I don't ever feel like watching it again) and didn't like 2 at all. But Vindicators is still a shit episode.
Can't remember the episode from Community user is referring to.

>Vindicators 3 does an excellent job of encapsulating everything bad about Rick and Morty.

That's not how you spell Pickle Rick.

Wow, fuck harmon.

Unironically this.
They were operating on the wrong levels of irony.
>haha ironic stupid plot that takes piss out of critcism you can't say it's dumb because the show says its dumb
>unironic fanwank badassery rick is hella f'n epic
>ironic le super pickle demon
>unironic "deep" speech

It's almost as if... They replaced the writing staff with people who wrote the show like fanfic

You mean Season 3.

You're confusing us with Sup Forums.

Nah, it just comes out natural for you, huh.

not like that's particularly difficult

It's no wonder Community got fucked. These last few years have opened my eyes to exactly how unbearable Dan is.

>Don't you faggots hate GOTG?
No. It's not for everyone, but hating it is a bit extreme.

Lmao, I knew something was off about this guy.

Does Dan have any friends? Because I doubt anyone would what to be around someone like him for too long?

You know the sad thing is that I genuinely liked the idea behind The Vindicators and wanted them to be played straight instead of the usual "everyone is an asshole" type thing. Stuff like being really by the book while Rick gets really sick of their hang ups, or Rick deciding to play "Supervillain" for an episode and getting really into it.

It was Avengers.
And he hated Inception so much he made it the debut episode of his series.
Really Dan strikes me as the kind of guy who probably only starts getting really irritated by something he doesn't care for when it seems like EVERYONE loves it.
So basically me
That would kind of make it even worse when Rick callously kills them in a Drunken Bender.

Well you would obviously drop the SAW shit too.

I know it's popular around these parts to hate season 3 and Harmon, but I love his writing style and I love that season 3 turned into more of a Dan Harmon show, so whenever I see people bitching about it, i laugh at their misfortune.

Please tell me that isn’t real.

w/e helps you sleep at night

Come on Dan, this ain't healthy.

It's somewhat ironic that people who browse Sup Forums would be complaining about someone for having personality flaws.

Shut up, Dan. Your shameless marketing of Pickle Rick on here was annoying

>dude I'm being a prick but I'll point it out so its funny lmao

Very glad he doesn't have kids and his wife left him, but if I know my self-destructive fuck-ups he'll get a girl pregnant "by accident" eventually.

One small change:
>You can tell he thinks he was bullied as a kid and never ever got over it.

I guarantee he is the kind of guy that dished it but could never take it.

Yeah, but we're not proud of them. That's why we browse an anonymous image board, we don't want people to know who we are because we're so ashamed of our flaws.

Dan prides himself on them.

I want to fuck his ex wife

That question was deliberately asked to put Justin into an uncomfortable position, but he framed it in a way that he could fall back on "Dude, it's just a joke!" if someone calls him out. I'm glad Chevy got him fired from his own show. Too bad he got back in.

It's weird because I can see a lot of Troma/Gunn in Dan Harmon. It's just that Dan Harmon's like the insincere corporate cash-in version. The Sharknado of writers.

Seconded.
Poor guy sounds so sad every time he introduces her on Harmonquest as his "formerly better half"

was it really specifically GotG? I thought it was just a jab at cape team-ups in general.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen also did the same thing with how such a volatile gathering of people can fall apart at the drop of a hat.

also Watchmen and pretty much any "Capes but REAL" story

>yfw some of his criticisms of superhero movies apply to R&M

What did he mean by this?

But you see... R&M does it ironically.

You also forgot the "You're not evil Beth, you're smart". It's like some edgelord copypasta you see on Sup Forums

>Characters shout their arcs on screen and solve them by monologuing, any moment of tension has an joke immediately after
these are not exlusively bad

This. It would've been a better twist if they were genuinely good people and heroes.

Dan has a lot of good ideas but the moment you let him write actual episodes, especially the ones past the initial batch, his shit always becomes unbearably bad.
He should just do it the Matt Groening way, think of a setting and a couple of characters and then let others do the writing for it.

He did that for R&M season 3 and look what happened

He thinks that his flaws make him "dynamic" as if he himself is a character in one of his shows. It's the same kind of intellectualized detached nihilism Rick himself has, though he isn't aware of it because it's deprecating instead of aggrandizing.

I thought it was fine. It was an alright series of space opera movies.

What good ideas? Most of his episodes are centered around a movie plot. While not exactly new in terms of parody, he's become more and more reliant on them for basic scripts. A good one was Anatomy Park, because it was Fantastic Voyage meets Jurassic Park. Now its just "Hey we're doing Mad Max!" and a weird mashup of Avengers meets.....SAW?

Definately this.

He doesn't write comedy, all he does is meta and unfunny asshole
The fact that he has fans at all is a mystery to me, I can even understand moviebob having really young kids or retards who think he is smart watching him but whenever Harmon opens his mouth I don't even care what he is going to say I just want to punch him
He is a cunt to everyone and he enjoys it because he is a pathetic man who never got over being 10 and wanting to get revenge on the bullies
I can only feel sorry for the people forced to work for him

This fucking guy is Bojack horseman if Bojack wasn't able to feel any remorse or guilt over anything he does and took pleasure in abusing other people

I have this belief that Rick and Morty is honorary Sup Forums the same way Dragonball is honorary Sup Forums. Dan is someone who bases a lot of his shit around tropes and classic (read, not really classic but 80s) Hollywood, which he tries to extract meaning from like a college research paper.

Justin is much more of a jack of all trades guy, acting, live-action production, comics, cartoons, and now VR. He's very formally expressive with a really defined sense of humor while Dan is just kind of abstract and floaty.

>Dragonball is honorary Sup Forums
Stop this meme. It's just Sup Forums fags having the same discussion over and over again

Also he always writes pathetic or abusive or absent father figures so there's clearly some issues there

Dragonball can be discussed on literally every single board because everyone watched it.
Same as how Simpsons was able to be discussed on every boards before the two memes happened.

>Sup Forums hates him
>Sup Forums hates him
>Sup Forums hates him
>Tumblr hates him
Is Dan dare I say it [our guy?]

No, he's quite literally r.eddit's guy.
They love him and he loves them because he can just enter a circlejerk that only tells him how much they wanna suck his dick.

Nah
Dan is /ourguy/ because everyone who knows him hates him.
Reddit loves his shows but that's only skin deep and ignoring all the bad part of them. Even redditors with a critical eye can tell when his shit turns bad.

He's a self-loathing nerd. He belongs here. He's one of us. Gooble gobble.

Had it been season one I could have seen that happen.

The first three seasons of Community were pretty good but in retrospect you could see some trends that would get a lot worse over time. Other people must have diluted his influence.

Well the least they can do is start a discussion that isn't fucking "Goku vs Superman". But that's an argument for another thread

Season 2 liked to shit on Rick unabashedly so it could have been possible then too
Season 3 is just "DAE being smart is a curse lol"

S1 and S2 had Rick being a shitty person because he was a shitty person, not because he was le enlightened Mensa member

Matt Groening is responsible for it looking like ass and having stiff animation, he has a obsession with having everything ON MODEL

Doesn't help that Season 3 Rick goes full "IM A FUCKING GOD!"

same.

That's the real weakness of S3. Rick faces very infrequent comeuppance and when he does it's in an unfunny or unsatisfying way.

S2: Rick tries to kill himself when an evil enslaving meta-mind tells him he's cancer
S3: Rick is bummed out on the ride home when a literally who psychologist tells him he's too smart to be happy

That's alright I hate his show so never watch it so all good

eeeeeooohhhh

Fuck Dan, Justin is worth way more now and has launched a bunch of pilots for Adult Swim (Hot Streets being the first to go to series). He doesn't really care when he makes something new because Rick & Morty was and is, his passion project. Dan should just fuck right off and if he wants a "Nest Egg" he should get off his fat ass and do that Community movie he won't shut up about!

>Stuff like being really by the book while Rick gets really sick of their hang ups,

Somehow, that feels like it could lead to a lot of funnier moments.

>Rick is having a drink and offers to buy Vance something
>Vance reveals his 'cocktail' is really just a virgin drink mix and he's a recovering alcoholic of five years and can't risk touching the stuff

Actually, I think you could have the Vindicators still turn into assholes and Rick kind of have a point, but it's from Rick's influence, sort of solidifying how Rick is a toxic influence to everyone around him and, for Dan's sake, the arc Morty undergoes is accepting even his heroes can ultimately fall short and that he desperately needs to untangle himself from Rick somehow or get Rick out of the picture, setting up a subplot throughout the remainder of the season.

Maybe have the Vidicators get a bit better by the the end and realize "oh, fuck, what did we let ourselves get talked into?"

>that one time on stage when he said that Trump getting elected proves that half of the US population are nazis
This guy has issues with reality.

Justin is carrying Rick and Morty on his back anyway.

I respectfully disagree. My biggest issue with the film was that it felt like everything had to be a joke. Peter and Ego’s fight was the perfect illustration of this, Peter using his powers to form a giant Pac-Man was a shoe horned joke that ripped me right out of the movie.

>a shoe horned joke
That was set up earlier in the movie...

We can hope

Yeah I have to agree the Pacman thing was lame, but I liked the emotional basis of the fight. I liked the stupid "You shouldn't have crushed my Walk-man and you shouldn't have killed my mom!"
Because Peter is an emotional child. He's very straight forward. It's like he was 12 years old and abducted by space aliens and stayed that age mentally.

Aside from Peter, everyone in the movie had emotional development, in some way, which is rare in a super hero movie.
A stand out moment was Drax and Mantis. Who were funny together, but also emotional, which I guess describes all of Gunn's GotG

he talks about mumbling shit in highschool all the time and almost getting the piss beat out of him in a podcast

Just because they foreshadowed Pac-Man at the beginning doesn’t mean the pay off had to be so forced. It was shoehorned.

Weird. Looking at the writers for each episode, Justin Roiland only officially wrote Rick Potion #9, Rixty Minutes, Interdimensional Cable 2, Mind Blowers Look Whose Purging now, and the pilot of course.
