Honestly I'd rather have the ridiculous fans than pretentious people here arguing and nit picking stupid shit to sound more intelligent. It's a show, watch it, enjoy it, stop trying to hold everything against some fictional ideal model. "Ooh but it's not really THAT existential and nihilistic" who the fuck cares you hipster; what elements it has in those areas goes well beyond most other available shows. Much like creating a government to hide from the government, it's pretty damn hypocritical for you all* to sit here and complain about other peoples opinions gumming up the show by complaining about the show with your own overblown armchair drivel. Watch it or don't but shut the fuck up and move on with your day.
* Of course not actually everyone
- ravenstine 9y agoI feel like you're missing the point that people are making. I personally agree with you when you say "It's a show, watch it, enjoy it, stop trying to hold everything against some fictional ideal model." I don't even have a problem with people seeing something in a form of art that I don't. If someone sees a lot of nihilism or even meaning in Rick and Morty, there's nothing wrong with that. My gripe with Rick and Morty fans, as a group, is that they seem to make a lot of claims that come off as arrogance against people who "just can't understand" the show as they see it. I know a lot of Rick and Morty fans in real life, and I do like the show myself, but I've even met people offline that seem to believe that being a fan of the show means you're of some apex intelligence. I nitpick these claims because they're often made through an objective standpoint, not a subjective one. I have no problem with subjective views, but once I'm told "Oh this thing is so nihilistic, so intelligent, so smart... you just don't get it", of course I'm going to refute those points when I find little basis for them. I normally don't let public opinion dictate what I should like, but a lot of fan behavior I've experienced is so toxic that I'm now having difficulty having anything to do with it. I mean, waiting in line at McDonalds and even jumping the counter for some freaking sauce packets mentioned one time in the show? That's so over-the-top pathetic, I feel kinda gross even thinking about it. I shutter to think that they, many of whom are grown adults, are going to become parents. > what elements it has in those areas goes well beyond most other available shows What are some of those elements?
