Rick and Morty has already lost its appeal to me, because the person who recommended it, and so many of the fans are assholes who think that Rick is a person to emulate and justifies their assholishness.
- fao_ 9y agoThis is both sad and hilarious to me, because lead writer Dan Harmon has explicitly spoken against Rick's character.
- j9461701 9y ago>we’ve all been Rick. But Rick really does have bigger fish to fry than anybody. He understands everything better than us. So you give him the right to be jaded and dismissive and narcissistic and sociopathic. -Dan Harmon Rick is literally designed to be the person every pretentious cynical asshole thinks they are. He exists to glamorize toxic anti-social behavior. Harmon backpedaling after the sauce thing blew up in his face isn't going to change this.
- olavk 9y agoA character does not necessarily exist just to either condemn or promote certain behavior. That is a pretty one-dimentional way of looking at storytelling.
- fao_ 9y agoThat's not actually him endorsing Rick, that's just him explaining why people give Rick that right. Which is entirely different.
