    It’s so frustrating that the dragon episode teased Rick’s reliance on science being useless in a fantasy world with magic and then immediately backtracked. It would’ve been nice to see Rick be powerless and have Morty be the super competent one.

    I was never too bothered by season 3. I mostly watch Rick and Morty for the creativity of the episodes en world/character designs and I thought that season 3 was fine when it came to those things.
    One problem I do have with newer episodes is, like you said, that the episodes can be paced too fast at times, which leads to confusion and ideas not being given the time for the audience to sink in. I noticed it a lot in the heist and train episodes.

  • @zserbs2326
    @zserbs2326 4 ปีที่แล้ว +105

    I think season 3 was still better than season 4 but, neither of them were able to recapture the consistency of season 1 and 2 as far having solid comedy and storytelling. Season 3 felt bogged down by the writers spending too long on character arcs than realizing the concepts for humour but season 4 just felt like a case of the concepts being stretched out and the meta commentary was excessive and at times needless.

    That whole final scene was about rick having to actually confront how bad of a father he is and not as a joke but him being at his lowest point. The family now clearly is more against him then ever and he has lost all control over them and he now is alone, not being able to joke his way out of it and realizing that it’s not okay that he is a bad father and he has to change.

The only truly great episodes were the vat of acid episode and the finale. Like, even Season 3 had more good episodes than this season. The rest practically ranged from meh to pretty good. What makes this situation 100x worse is how big and popular the show is - not to mention it has 6 more seasons ahead of it so there's no worry of getting the axe no matter how good or bad it is.

    My order of season 4 episodes, best to worst
    1. The Vat Of Acid - the funniest, emotional and the most easy to understand, plus the meta doesn’t seems as forced
    2. The Old Man and the Seat - I loved this episode, it was beautifully animated and both the plots were pretty fun. I enjoyed it because it was chill and the ending scene killed me
    3. Rattlestar Ricklactica - funny, good fight scenes and I loved Jerry’s plot line! When I first watched it, I didn’t really understand the snake scene.. seemed abit unclear but that could just be me
    4. Edge of Tomorty: Rick die Repeat - I chuckled at a few bits but overall it was okay. I have no major criticism for this episode
    5. Starmort: Rick Turn of the Jerri - the Star Wars jokes was too repetitive but the rest of the episode was pretty fun (and sad ofc); great fan service
    6. Promortyus - the incest vibes again for the second time... are they running out of jokes? The rest of the episode seems like classic rick and morty episode and that I enjoyed
    7. ChildRick of Mort - Average but redeemable because Ricks arc and the huge fight scene.
    8. Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim’s Morty - was so weird but I guess it was the point of it... Jerry’s plot was just average and slightly frustrating
    9. Never Ricking Morty - I had to watch this so many times just to understand it, so bloody confusing. Seemed like a huge whine fest that I know will not age well
    10. One Crew over the Crewcoo’s Morty - I just hated this episode so much oh my god.

    This season was pretty bad imo. The only saving grace was the finale. I want more episodes where they travel to different dimensions/universes. The show is meant to be about multidimensional travel yet we barley see any of it this season.
    I miss the crazy concepts that they had in the first two seasons. I also miss how laid back the show used to be. It didn’t need to constantly be self aware or make social commentary to be good. Episodes like Auto Erotic Assimilation, Raising Gazorpazorp, Close Rick Counters of the Rick Kind, Mortynight Run, Look Who’s Purging Now, Total Rickall, A Rickle in Time were all amazing episodes that expanded on new concepts and worlds while developing the characters in a neat organic way.

    I kinda wish the show would either commit to being purely episodic with some continuity, or completely story-driven with some one-off episodes. This line in the middle that they've been riding feels like a cocktease, excuse my French. Rick and Morty can be a great episodic cartoon, or a great story cartoon. But as both, I think it's just good.

    • @tonyjohnson5669
      @tonyjohnson5669 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@dragonmasterlance123 There are a few reasons for this. One of the big ones is social media. Unlike in the past , where you rarely knew what the director/producer/storyteller/whatever intent was, unless of course you wanted to watch some documentary or news interview at some hard to watch time, you can now know for a fact what their intent is and they for the most part are more than willing to share it. This can be seen as bad, because what was once those bad characters are doing bad things is now those "bad" characters that are supposed to represent me, or some political ideology that I agree with, are doing "bad" things. In a few words, authors take the fictional and hypothetical, and make it personal and real. Another thing is that a lot of movies didn't use words they used ideas. Take Star Wars for example, it may be about fascism and Nazis, but it never calls dark side user Nazis nor calls their goverment fascist in the movie itself. The iconography is present in the uniforms and storm troopers, but it is hidden well enough that unless your looking for it or have watched the hard to come by interviews for contextualization you can easily miss it. Without the contextualization from the director George Lucas, the Dark Side users could easily be any other authoritarian government in a fantasy setting. The Third Reason is people have a lot more control over what they watch and many things are saved for posterity. This means you can go back and watch that interview or with the help of other viewers help stoke your own middling outrage for something you only mildly disliked. In affect people are turning a "meh" into "horrible". You can also rewatch interviews you disliked to make you angrier and angrier further fueling your outrage.

    On a side note, next to the criticisms you gave, it’s annoying how the entire family breaks the forth wall now, bringing up the current season and their arcs when that only use to be Rick’s thing.

Season 4 started bad and it just got worse. Are they even trying to be funny anymore? The writing has become stale and contrived, the characters have become caricatures of themselves already. I'm honestly surprised the same fans of the first 2 seasons are OK with season 4.

    actually just finished season four today after realizing i never finished all the episodes. it was definitely a big step up from season three, but i think what makes this show's weak points incredibly noticeable is what we have to compare it to. seasons one and two are basically regarded as the best seasons of the show. once you start off strong like that, people are going to notice a sudden dip in quality.
    but it seems like rick and morty may be recovering from that, if this season was anything to go by, so i'm eagerly awaiting its return!

    This season is really mixed to be honest. The premier blew me away. It felt absolutely like classic Rick and Morty. Great concepts and super funny jokes. Episode 2, which I didn’t like at first, definitely grew on me on rewatch. I didn’t really feel angry about this season until episode 3 which I fricking hate. I can’t stand the stupid crew gag, but I did like everything else I guess. Meh tbh. Episode 4 well, lets not speak of it. But damn episode 5 was the turning point for me. Really after that point, I had no issues with the season. Anyways here’s my rankings.
    1. RattleStar Rickglatica- Amazing
    2. Edge of Tommorty, Rickdie and Rickpeat- Amazing
    3. StarMort Rickturn of the Jerry- Amazing
    4. The Vat of Acid Episode- Amazing
    5. Promortyus- Great
    6. Never Ricking Morty- Great
    7. Childrick of the Rick- Good
    8. The Old Man and the Seat- Good
    9. One Crew over the crew crews Morty- Meh
    10. Special Ricktims: Claw and Hoarder- Awful

      GB Rogo old man and the seat was solid, but I think it has a major pacing issue. Three different plots flipping back and forth, none having enough time to them. Rattlestar is easily my favorite of the season. The concept is so stupid yet genius and the episode is packed full of laugh out loud moments. Probably the funniest episode to me alongside Mortynight Run. And one crew crew was ok I guess. I didn’t love the jokes being overused, even if they varied a bit, it was too much. Not much substance at all. I do like moments, but eh it exist to me.
