Topic	Rewatching Rich & Morty - Do you undestand the show?
Master Kazuya 12/28/20 11:24:34 AM #29:	Alkeez posted... He is more apathic than evil, but he shows some form of morality (even though he argues that an illogical construct) sometimes. As someone who have listened to a lot of religion vs atheism debates, Rick seems to be put right in the middle there - there is pure logic, which he seems to want to follow, then theres something holding him back. Idk, I think you're trying to force the show to be about science vs religion or logic vs illogic when it's not (except maybe for 14 year olds on Reddit it might be, which you very well may be idk). Forcing the show into whether Rick is logical or illogical strips away soo much of the entire identity of the show. He's a fucking scientist alcoholic. Being that much of an alcoholic is "illogical". I'll give you an assignment like I give my high schoolers because I shouldn't have to spell it out. Why do you think alcoholism is a core trait of Rick's character? Walter White is a similar example. You're meant to root for him in the beginning but by the end, you realize what effect he actually has on his family. Skyler goes from being an annoying bitch to revealing she actually has decency in times that matter and it's on purpose and very explicit in the show's writing. People who still think Walter is the hero hold onto some false idolization. You think Rick is cool and so does everyone else which is why they even like him but if you're looking at straight up narrative structure, the show leans more and more into showing the actual consequences of Rick (even of multiple Ricks in the citadel and how Rick's negligence gives rise to Evil Morty). Alkeez posted... Maybe its not Morty, maybe its not Beth, maybe not even family... maybe its just the idea of feelings or tradition? You have it backwards. It's not that he wants family but doesn't need it. It's that he needs family but doesn't want it. Alkeez posted... yet he is close to a god in how he protects himself from it. And maybe thats a lesson? No, you still are coming from the frame of Rick is perfect, so we just straight up disagree --- itt my post is the best <cite>Master Kazuya posted [p:948842548] in Rewatching...
