>Hey Marty from Back to the Future, it's me, Doc Brown from Back to the Future >I need you to suck my balls
Because this was the literal pitch for the show.
Hi, Dan Harmon here! I personally changed Rick and Morty because I didn't want Roiland to ever be able to go off on his own. The kids a genius, but if he is left to his own devices he'd cause trouble. With me guiding him as a mentor he will be able to reach the top with the best! It's a shame he decided to part ways. Hope nothing bad happens to him.
Because they were designed to be a silly show that just wants to entertain stoned high school kids instead of forcing moronic melodrama to appease with storygays on Twitter and Reddit.
Harmon is an out-of-control narcissist desperately trying to keep his cool while doing this weird power move. No wonder everyone hates him. You can just feel the tension there. You just know Roiland doesn't want to have a beef and knows about all of Harman's shit but is lying the best that he can to not damage his career.
This kind of dynamic is funny because you can tell Harmon wants to have a fight about what we all know Roiland thinks about him. But Roiland doesn't want to fight. And Harmon is just seething because he can't fight about why people should like him. And everyone just hates him silently.
1) First season was still trying to nail down the art style and I believe used a different type of animation program. Just look at these background characters.
2) Newer seasons take place mostly on Earth.
3) Rick and Morty's dynamic of being a Doc Brown/Marty McFly parody was phased out in favor of abusive drunk uncle and nephew.
4) Most problems in earlier seasons were about Rick's frick ups, most problems in new seasons are about character drama.
Like many things when you first do something you haven't hashed out all your quirks and patterns yet and haven't established your routine.
Bryke of Atla said the first season of a TV show is like driving a car while you are building it. It is to be expected that things would shift over time
The one good joke it had was in one of the worst episodes (the cum one). Where morty is about to get semen extracted, and tells rick to do something. Rick responds by rocking and falling to the ground in his frozen carbonite, with morty asking what that did, and rick replying that he did him a favor by getting out of his eye line.
They really fricked the pooch by having rick be literally ironman/inspector gadget built into his body. S1/2 didn't have that, and it made for a lot more interesting show.
Also morty was a perfect foil to ricks drunk apathy. Now, hes literally the same angry serial killer as rick.
characters and plot lines suffered from extreme flanderization due to the show becoming popular.
I knew it was turning to shit and not as good quality but I personally had enough with the dragon bawds episode. Its probobly because they have women working on the show now.
Because the main premise was "Mad Scientist Grandpa going on an adventure with his grandson" and none of the cynicism of the later seasons were established yet.
The first episode really ties everything together in a nice way. All the dynamics are at play but without the overthinking, that has ruined the show. Rick is a drunk crazy guy and not Brian Griffen with magic powers. It is the only episode where Jarry is allowed to be in the right and not treated like a piece of shit. The original dynamic was supposed to be, Beth is the breadwinner so she has a little more authority in the household so Jarry the straight man has to put up with Rick's shenanigans. He isn't supposed to have zero authority and just be a b***h aka the shows Meg Griffin. Everything is more laid back and the show isn't trying to be Bojack Horsemen. The show is trying to be like the Simpsons (as it should). The stakes were high but the characters were fun. And everyone seemed to legitimately care about each other. Except for Rick but he is supposed to be the crazy weirdo who says funny things. It's a funnier loser show. The other episodes added more "depth" but weren't nearly as good or as fun (talking about seasons 1 and 2). Those seasons were still amazing but not nearly as good as the pilot. Now ofcourse everything season 3 and after just added way too much "depth" and the comedy and cool factor became second fiddle to sophomoric writing that desperately tries to come off as profound and clever. When this show really should have just been about having a good time with an occasional gut punch.
Focus was on Morty and Rick, rather than Rick + some extras.
Rick wasn't god or an outlet for Dan Harmon's cynicism, he was just a mad genius. Morty was taken a lot less seriously while still being more of a protagonist character. For a show that started as a parody of Back To The Future plus a containment for Roiland's humour, it became a parody of that parody, by humouring Dan Harmon's cynicism far too much
Why don't you ask the writers on Twitter instead of a bunch of anonymous masturbators, genius?
Whats Twitter?
Shut up I’m trying to masterbate!
To wut?????????
he wants some good ole fashion cola
Because it was better
Lots of pilots feel like that, they’re still trying to figure out what they want to do with the show.

Harmon was absolutely ass damaged over roiland not doing it with him.

Rick was a different character and the animation was more off-model.

different art directors work on each season. one of the reasons why show feels different

dan harmon got divorced and made the show shit out of spite
It actually has jokes and isn't being meta every two seconds
This. I barely got a chuckle from season 3 onwards.

1st episode felt like a newgrounds cartoon.
They really fricked the pooch by having rick be literally ironman/inspector gadget built into his body. S1/2 didn't have that, and it made for a lot more interesting show.

the show was great, and then they hired female writers.
It gets worse each season, in the new trailer I think summer has more lines and screentime than any other character
Its the Summer smith show now
So we're gonna get more incest/piss stuff then
Yep
