If only I could help you continue with the grand performance you have
provided so far. Be proud to know I was astounded with how closely accurate
articulated depictions of the original thoughts on Rick and Morty needed no
guidance to each season beginning to end then on to the next. Thank you so
so so very much for making my request to excellence beyond just the story.
I still call out Wubba lubba dub dub as it is my truest inner Ricks
aloneness. Yet it feels to weigh on me less. I would like very much to talk
again so you can add the insight I have also gained. I never was able to
define or word that feeling inside till the day I witnessed 3 seasons in a
day. AceofClubsTM is my darkness and Water Monk new found bright burning
light. To exit the maze we must get the hairy man at the bottom of the lake
to return the golden ball. We are friends without a conflict. However
unlike all the various Ricks and Morties from each reality. All the Troy
M.'s work the same plan the same way never having to physically speak to
any we just know.

This episode rendered the whole show nonsensical, covering that nonsense with cheap violence and gore. A basic premise of the episode is that Rick is reincarnated as a clone in an parallel universe every time he dies, but this breaks with the existentially horrifying nature of the Rick and Morty multi-verse. The fragility and contingency of being in Rick and Morty's multiverse is what makes it so scary and gives the show a horror-like aspect. Minor characters frequently die suddeny, without warning, and there is always a sense that this could happen to our protagonists. However, in this episode Rick dies numerous times and is reincarnated each time. The overall effect is to make death (and hence the contingency of being) in Rick and Morty's multi-verse meaningless. Rick's repeated deaths are literally, senseless, because death no longer has any consequence. .... I also hated the scenes with the giant wasps fighting and the grotesque depiction of corpses. This episode seems to be more graphic than any previous. The graphic nature of the violence does a poor job of covering up the loss of existential horror that comes from trivializing death. I don't want to watch any more of this show. I would like my money to be returned to me.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. ๐ And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
