It's improving with each episode this season imo. Only downright bad one so far was the premiere
I mean, this could go either way.
>pickle rick a return to form when that episode marked the decline
Dont ask me, I also liked season 6.
this is the type of reason why they should change their workflow, they can do good anthology episodes but the stupid long continuity without actual progression during most of the season or just downright backpedaling like the start of s3 is the problem, they should use their premise to just make seasons of anthology in different universe or whatever while they do some special/movie between seasons that compacts the plot lines and pre plan on the long term
Best the show has been since Season 2, no it’s not as good as the classic era.
6 was when it started recovering.
I hate to be this guy, but man twittertards are pissing me off with them saying "they cut Roiland and now the show is actually good!" when that's literally not how it works

To be fair, everyone was saying "they cut Roiland and now it's bad" before the season picked up, so its just that nobody knows how TV works.
This pretty much, people just want an excuse to shit on/praise the show and Roland getting the door is an easy thing to point at for people who don't get how making an animated show works.
I’ve seen so many morons claiming Roiland was the reason for the incest jokes. I get that he’s shit, but for fricks sake he hasn’t done anything for the show after season 2 except doing the voices
>he hasn’t done anything for the show after season 2 except doing the voices
that's like 90% of the show you fricking moron
I feel like the animation community, of all people, should know that the entire season was written long before all this shit happened, and I don't think the situation even caused a delay. Hell, Justin might have already recorded the whole thing and new guys just dubbed over him.

>Hell, Justin might have already recorded the whole thing and new guys just dubbed over him.
That's exactly what happened.
Yep you can still here his voice in a few lines.
You can hear them here

>#RelaseTheRoilandCut
Only way that happens is if someone leaks them (or Justin under a pseudonym is petty or drunkenly angry enough to let them loose) or if AI covers the show from now on by fans as a what if
I'd say 6 was when it started improving. 7 probably garnered more attention because of of voice actor change making news.
Still never going to truly return to form, though, IMO. Season 3 changed so much about the characters and overall tone that they would effectively have to pretend like every season after 2 never happened, which in itself would feel like a copout.
Yeah, I have noticed a lot of people not knowing that Roiland already stopped being involved with the writing quite a few seasons before he was fired
Honestly feels like we’re entering the next phase. The show will never be Season 1+2 again, but it’s going in a different direction that can incorporate a little bit of what was lost (Rick depowered, more domestic elements, the family being less assholish, taking a more earnest approach to lore when it happens, etc.)
Both of those sentences are equally idiotic, because this season was written and voiced BEFORE HE LEFT!
No quite the opposite really.
it's not
the only reason they're even saying that is because of the Justin Roiland stuff, pretending that a new VA somehow fixes the mediocre writing (that he helped write before he left so these Twitter users are just praising Justin no matter what)
Exactly the opposite of this is true; the only reason people are mad about the new season is that Justin is gone. Furthermore, he didn't help write it before he was fired; he didn't help write the past few seasons either.
bro where have you been for the past few years? People here didn't like Season 6 or 5 or even 4. 3 was the last season majority of folks here liked and even that was seen as a step down from 2.
Yes, but season 7 is pretty clearly a step up from that baseline, and at minimum it's not a step down. But it's getting a much harsher reaction.
>pretty clearly a step up
we pretending the first 3 episodes didn't exist?
You're dumb as a stump
Episode 6 was good, everything else was barely watchable even as second monitor fodder.
Don't ask the Yokudan elf-slaying pantheon if something is good. They will always say no.
>real answer
It's better than Season 6. First episode is the weakest, but it's watchable. The rest are unironically entertaining. Probably the best the show has felt since Season 2.
On a side note:
>Nick Rutherland
>writes the sperm episode, the dino episode, and the poopybutthole episode
>all the weakest of their respective seasons
Why the frick has this guy not been canned yet?
He's an executive producer; clearly someone with connections. He'd be the one deciding if other people get canned, not the other way around.
It's not "getting better", it's "going through the motions"
>Yeah, they're giving people what they WANT
Which is how a show dies. They're not surprising people. People don't want the same shit, they just want to FEEL the same way.
TLDR: It's still not funny.
>"going through the motions"
It has a formula, but this season has been more daring than the past three. If your bar for deviation is more incest, then go to Pornhub, stepbro,
Only the last 2 episodes where decent, everything else this season was as weh as usual these days.
They need to stop undercutting their own jokes or having a character comment on it, the audience gets it man, let them get it.
Y'all think the show's going to get into Ricks past past? Like his childhood, his parents, how he was raised, what he was like growing up?
Obviously they've avoided it other than like, one bit, I think they'll do it but they'll probably hold onto it for now.
>Y'all think the show's going to get into Ricks past past? Like his childhood, his parents, how he was raised, what he was like growing up?
Probably not, and it doesn't seem like there'd be much story to tell. The dead wife retcon now dictates that Rick was relatively decent and normal, and only became fricked up when he lost his family. The first Unity episode made a joke about Rick's father withholding approval from him growing up, but when we saw him as a kid in the Birdperson memory episode, he had a pretty sweet bedroom filled with early science projects, suggesting he was loved and well cared for as a child. Not exactly good story fodder.
Remember, though, the Rick who chose his family and the Rick who murdered his family were pretty similar people to begin with. So clearly all was not well, even if our Rick was making it work before interdimensional travel fricked things up for him.
>The first Unity episode made a joke about Rick's father withholding approval from him growing up, but when we saw him as a kid in the Birdperson memory episode, he had a pretty sweet bedroom filled with early science projects, suggesting he was loved and well cared for as a child.
There's a lot of simple explanations to address this supposed contradiction. While it's a nice-looking room, I wouldn't say that it is filled to the brim with stuff. They could be gifts from other family members, perhaps it's just another example of the "jock dad, nerd son" conflict, or Rick's rocky relationship with his father could have started later during his teenage years.
The human spaghetti and Rick's nemesis were garbage but the other episodes have been above average TV more or less.
Jerricky and the Observers were meh at points but they had their moments.
It's pretty bad. I think maybe it's just a tired concept. Season 3(?) was the last good one I remember with a few decent episodes since.
At this point I watch it because it exists and I like to have something on another monitor, so it ranks right up there with new Archer and Bluey.
Based on the last two episodes, you can kinda make an argument, but the first four were terrible and a sign of how bad the show has fallen.
Just people validating their hatred of Roiland through the show. And yeah the exact opposite happened with people saying it got worse when he left originally too.
Frick I love that media cannot be consumed alone anymore and needs to be judged within the context of whatever drama happens during its creation.
Its like the whole entertainment industry is one big reality show!!! Isnt that great!!!!!
>Twitter keeps saying
Picrel.
No Roiland,
No watch.
Simple as.
Episode 1, Ultra dull and killed a decent character
Episode 2, So boring I forgot what happened.
Episode 3, Also so boring I forgot what happened.
Episode 4, Cannibalism episode, somehow done both dull, and boring.
Episode 5, Kills the only interesting plot point/character in the show, for nothing.
Episode 6. Somehow the worse clip show episode to date.
No notable Beth, Summer, moments, and Jerry gets his worst episode to date.
Waring spoiler:
They cleaned up the Prime rick story line as well as Evil Morty in one episode so they can just go back to it being episodic like family guy or the Simpsons, All the lore stuff was wrapped up in that one fricking ep and evil Morty even said at the end.
"I won't use this if you don't come after me, seriously don't come after me, It won't end well for you"
Meaning that if he is simply left alone he will be 100% fine and he would have counter measures against lesser Ricks anyhow.
Meaning that so long as our Rick stays away nothing will happen, And Evil Morty wants nothing to happen.
There is 0 conflict now, There is absolutely nothing lore wise to keep the show going. Is will become episodic content like the Simpsons and nothing more and I am very disappointment with it
>All the lore stuff was wrapped up in that one fricking ep
Don't be so pessimistic.
This is the Storytrain episode all over again where people thought it meant they weren't gonna bring back stuff like Tammy or Evil Morty ever.
The show was never just about the lore. I like the story episodes, but it’s wild to me that people don’t understand that’s always second to the episodic adventures.
It's the best the show's been in a long time.
Evil Morty shows up like once every other season, he'll be back in Season 9 or 10
They’re lying.
I'm not memeing or trolling by saying this, but I've seen three minute clips here and there of the new episodes and the dialogue seems so much worse. Not talking about the new voice acting, I mean the sentence structure and zingers are worse. Rick and Morty's first death was the sczehuan Asian standing on the counter, it showed how overly nerdy the fanbase was. Roiland was the second and final death. Lawyer israelites just probably wanted him out of the picture so they could scoop up more money not knowing the property would have its final death knell.
>Twitter keeps saying
I don't give a frick and you can go back there
I've enjoyed it a lot more than the previous two seasons
I watched one episode this season and was bored to death
It will never be good again
Was it the first episode? Because that’s by far the worst one.
S1&2>4>5>3>5 again>6
Canon
S1&2>7>3=6>4>5
It's a return to form, if by form one means seasons 4~6. It's not as bad as I had feared after the first couple of episodes, but still pretty bad in terms of batting average. The mediocre episodes outnumber the good, and the good ones have Rick and Morty going on actual sci-fi adventures.
Episode 1 is the lowest the show has ever sunk
Episode 2 is above average, fun premise but the jokes aren’t all landing
Episode 3 is about the same. Better jokes but mostly centered around hated characters except for one returning face.
Episode 4 was good, just under great. Good premise, good execution. Still lacking in humor.
Episode 5 was great, the lore episode, best one of those since Season 3.
Episode 6 was good, just under great. Finally a funny episode, even if it is just the anthology.
It feels like a transitional season to something better, but as it is, I think this is the best “modern” Rick and Morty season.
I liked the episode with Jerry and Rick becoming friends. But that’s it so far.
they don't watch the show, they only "like" it now because their group hated Roiland.
As a long time fan this season is a marked improvement above S3-5 and a decent improvement over 6. Had Roiland still been here it would be even better, but as it is it’s good
episodes 4-6 have all been good
>4 should have only been ten minutes long
>5 was only good because it finally put an end to the whole Rick Prime plot. It also made Evil Morty more likable
>6 had the best joke in the series not once but twice. Besides that the episode was weak as shit
>a return to form
A return to which form, that's the question
What form? This show has been retroactively ruined by it's writing. There's no form when you know the story develops nto a garbled mess.
And Space Beth, the Poochy the fricking Dog of the series, is still in the family.
I don’t understand the hate for Space Beth at all.
She's an unnecessary addition. If she died it would affect little to nothing.
Sure, but, is that hateworthy? She’s just kinda there.
It's hate worthy, yes. Just let her frick off forever to whatever corner of space she lives in.
>entire point of her existence is she wanted to abandon her family so she can be free
>spends all her free time with her family
she is a huge selfish b***h and a hypocrite that needs to die, honestly I would like rick to bring that up as he tells her he figured out that she was a clone.
> spends all her free time with her family
She literally doesn't. She's only in some of the episodes.
Also she already was a space adventurer for a whole season before she returned the first time, she got that out of her system. It doesn't make her a hypocrite!
>mom leaves family because you're not simulating her enough
>she gets bored
>"hey can I come back owo"
"come back"
Again, she only visits sometimes. She lives in space. She's basically like their aunt now.
tell the writers not to put her in every other episode then, because it comes across like she is desperate to worm her way back into the family.
> it comes across
It really doesn't, you're just reading it that way for some reason
NTA but space beth does actually feel too involved withe main family tbh. If the show actually wants to do an episode about space beth regretting her choice and wanting to be a mom again I could buy it
She thought she wanted adventure but what she was really chasing was her father.
he is at home drunk, chase over
It’s not about being near her father physically. It’s about being someone who maybe her father will notice and praise. Dude thought he was giving her what she wanted by making inventions or sticking her in Froopy Land but all she did was act out in a desperate bid for his attention. Domestic Beth drowns her daddy issues away in the highest stress job she can manage and as much wine as she can drink. Space Beth goes to war to escape it. At the end of the day she was neglected by her dad and then stuck with Jerry when she’s the second smartest in the family by far, she missed her potential. Rick’s “solution” to feeling like she’s missing something wasn’t to connect to her, but send her somewhere else, the same mistake he made with Froopy Land. She doesn’t want Froopy Land or space, she wants her dad. Nowadays she’s found some peace in her throuple relationship with herself and Jerry. Space Beth helps act as a Rick proxy to Domestic Beth because she’s going on adventures and is more worldly, and Domestic Beth acts as a Rick Proxy to Space Beth because she feels like she has a family to come back to who will actually connect with her in a meaningful way.
This season taught me how much a lot of people care more about the humor than anything else in this show. I come to Rick and Morty for cool premises and sci-fi ideas and character work. The humor is just a secondary element to my enjoyment.
Very interesting that because the last episode was the funniest, you see people coming out of the woodwork praising it as “the first good episode of the season” or “classic”.
I think people lost interest in everything other than the comedy because the show obviously had contempt for any part of its audience that gave a shit about anything other than the comedy.
I’d say that S4 and S5 remained funny, but all the parts that I cared about went downhill pretty bad for the most part.
S6 and S7 is oddly the reverse, the characters and high concepts are better but for some reason the humor is lacking.
The lore is the worst part of this show. Oh, sure, Rick is so concerned about his dead wife, even though he just keeps changing families just because someone sneezed in his direction?
You can dislike it but it isn’t inconsistent. His family was taken from him so he copes that “nothing matters” when he knows deep down that it’s horseshit.
Those aren't even equal situations, lol.
None of these people are his original family, which is why he was fine changing them (and even then, he stopped doing that pretty quickly).
Diane was his ACTUAL real wife, from his own universe!
They removed that pedo groomer Roiland as a writer and got way better voice actors.
Now it’s clear all the weird incest and pedo stuff was all Roiland writing, not Dan Harmons.
New season is a deep exploration of Rick and Morty. Best season yet.
Watch it NOW
Season 1>Season 2>Season 6
Everything else is mid
use white words next time
Close.
Season 2 (first half) > Season 1 > Season 2 (second half) > Season 6 = Season 7 > The rest
S6 is consistently funny while S7 is hit or miss.
S7 has that awful first episode and the rick prime finale is full of unfunny marvel quips and gets close to an evil morty character assasination by making him a fricking tsundere.
Season 7’s biggest flaw is it’s not as funny as it should be, 100%. I’d argue that it makes up for it with the more consistently good characterization and premises of episodes. I really like S6, I just think S7 has higher highs. No disagreement on S7E1 that was trash, we do have a disagreement on Evil Morty and Unmortricken in general, felt like an earnest, non rug-pull of a canon episode.
S7 has like 1 joke per episode i laugh at..
The gun joke from last made me after-laugh
It isn't worse than the previous seasons.
UNCLE SLOW!
I completely forgot who the frick that is, honestly. I think he was in the last episode of season 1 maybe?
It would've been more effective if it was Squanchy or someone else, not like Squanchy was going to ever be a deeper character than Rick's old friend
The gag was you expected it to be one of the main family, only to be revealed it was a very minor character we'd only seen once a long time ago and we're only now finding out is related. It wasn't supposed to be effective in making you care about the character's fate.
Why could the cat talk?
It's a schizo thread.
Gun 1 - shoot at gorilla
Gun 2 - shoot at bully
Gun 3 - creates a bad person?
Gun 4 - ???
>Gun 4 - ???
it'll be a panda gun that creates bamboo shoots
It's for defending yourself. (You pull the trigger and it begins explaining how you're in the right.)
