Ran Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) "Present the Shears of Stumping!" ETA: Oh, given the previous episode, maybe "Full Meta JackRick" did indeed show us at least some actual upcoming episodes, given that Jerry in his Orb powersuit featured.

I thought it was clever that they mentioned that episode earlier in the episode too, which made it feel less likely that they'd revisit it in the end.

Jaxom 1974 Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 Solid finale. Solid season all around. How long until it's back...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifth Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Not sure how I feel about the season final. The Knights of the Sun episode, was just so much stronger, IMO. Still a Keith David episode is always fun, so at least there's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I thought it was pretty solid as well, and liked the Star Wars fandom commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Wow. The POTUS is kind of an asshole. "Robots with lightsabers for eyes". That's the hardest I've laughed since Jerry almost scored with his mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 A strong Spaced vibe in them getting permission to use Star Wars assets and sound effects and then going absolutely fucking crazy ripping into it with a fiery passion. Very nice. Bit low-hanging fruit, though, and as much as I love Keith David, they are running the risk of overusing him. It is a perennial problem with all franchises in which Keith David appears (Saints Row going as far as using Keith David as another character and then introducing Keith David playing a character literally called "The Actor Keith David") but R&M is usually a bit more restrained than that. This has been the callback season, though (they even brought back the "Oh My God" microrobot!), so maybe that ties in with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumHam Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Adult Swim Cuts Ties With Justin Roiland Following Domestic Abuse Charges Rick and Morty will continue, but I wonder if Solar Opposites is doomed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Roiland voiced the main characters and a bunch of supporting ones on Rick & Morty plus was the main writer, and responsible for keeping the show on track in spite of Harmon's infamous procrastinations and inability to meet a deadline. I think it'd probably have been better to have cancelled it outright. Ironically, this will probably end up like Community Season 4. Although the show has had a bit of a return to form in the most recent season, it's still past its best and I was doubtful they could keep it going for another 4-5 seasons to meet their contract with Adult Swim in the first place.

Ran Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Roiland hasn't had a writing credit on an episode season since 3, and stated he took a significant step back with season 4 -- presumably to focus on other projects like Solar Opposites and running Squanch Games (which I see he resigned from, per news). Fans discussing this have noted that Zooms featuring the writer's room always have Harmon there, but Roiland hasn't been in them for at least the past two seasons, if not longer. So, the voice is the thing he contributes at this point, and I guess they could easily find one or more people who can do his voices. Roiland even reviewed fan impersonations at one point. There's one fellow in particular whom Roiland has actually spoken with about it -- his Morty is eerily close, and he just needs to work on his Rick -- and there's another whose Rick and Morty he said are basically spot on (Mr. Meeseeks needs work, though): To be fair, it's not "just" the voice, I guess. As I understand it, Roiland would improv a lot, so to what degree that's still a thing in the later seasons when he stepped back, I don't know, and that may be harder to capture from someone who's not got a knack for it.

Rippounet Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Probably off-topic, but I'm not sure what to make of the fact that these very serious accusations date back to 2020 but that Roiland was only dropped by everyone when formally charged. I guess the surprising thing is that it took over two years to charge someone with a felony (?) and that the person walked free in the meantime (?). I guess it was time for Rick & Morty to find a conclusion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
