Ninefingers Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Came here for posts freaking out about Rothfuss writing Rick & Morty comics instead of book 3. Leaving disappointed. C'mon internet, rage better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Why am I not surprised he's a huge Rick and Morty fan? I bet he even believes the copypasta going around last fall is true. Because to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour 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 from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential 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 wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

I don't know if it was ever written as a serious comment or whether it was written as a satire from the get-go, but it's been posted to death on Reddit whenever Rick and Morty is brought up because of the insufferable fans.

I suspect it will once other opportunities start drying up. For now, he has too many fun non-anxiety inducing opportunities staring him in the face to even consider doing something that makes him miserable.

Darth Richard II Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I dunno, from everything I've seen said here about his sales, dude is set for life. Also, I now know what a copypasta is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone and Quite Forgotten Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Rick and Morty is a show that takes insightful, deep science fiction concepts with rich characters, then mixes them with poop jokes, and still manages to come off as a little pretentious. Am I the only one who thinks Rothfuss may be uniquely qualified to write one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninefingers Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hey @baxus Do you have a copy of Name of the Wind in Serbian? There's a guy who's doing a comparison of the Lackless Rhyme (Seven things has Lady Lackless...) in various languages to tease out meaning and I thought I'd (really my wife, who is Serbian) contribute with some analysis of a language they haven't done. If you have it, could you post the rhyme? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I've had NotW and TWMF sitting on my shelf for a while now. What's the general thoughts on reading them? I went into ASoIaF and The Gentleman Bastards not knowing they would never be completed and I have now come to a general acceptance of that. Going into Kingkiller knowing that the status is hanging in limbo would be a new experience for me, but I think I'd at least be prepared. So what's the consensus? Still worth reading knowing that there is no end in sight? Or hold off cause there's no rush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
