The funny thing I haven't seen people really talk about is that Rick and Morty is, for better or for worse, 100% a modernization of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Everything people don't like about it is what they wouldn't like about Douglas Adams if he were new

Sure, but it was pretty much always presented in a way that wasn’t then framed with “lol”. It may have been incidentally funny, but his darkness felt tragic, not just a punchline (even if it *was* a punchline). Like I said: not mean.

The last book Adams wrote ends with all of the characters dying. He had manuscripts written with how the characters survived, but no book where the characters survived was actually published until, like, 4 years ago, written by Eoin Colfer with the blessing of the Adams estate
