      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

      I get where you’re coming from but Adams cynicism was MUCH less nihilistic and a lot more absurdist & whimsical. Rick & Morty is more nasty & a lot less clever than most of Adams work. It also seem to take itself way more seriously than HHG

      H2G2 is INCREDIBLY nihilistic. There's a torture device that drives you mad by showing you how utterly insignificant you are. The meaning of life is an arbitrary number, for God's sake

      Kind of a sexist joke, too - the inventor of the Total Perspective Vortex was tired of his wife interrupting his science work by telling him to "get some perspective" so he makes a device to REALLY show her "perspective"

      I mean yeah there's no accounting for tastes or what people perceive as small differences in tone but come on guys The first book is about how everyone on Earth dies and nobody cares because this kind of thing happens all the time

      The second one is about how everyone's so jaded they've turned the actual inevitable end of all existence into a light show for cheesy dinner theater

      The juxtaposition of this indescribable cosmic horror happening outside the windows and the MC making these stupid puns and Catskills style stand-up gags (I feel like the Restaurant at the End of the Universe directly inspired R&M's bit with Jerry going through the wormhole)

      I never finished So Long And Thanks For All The Fish, but wasn't that entire book heavily affected by Adams' depression and it was especially bleak or something?

      No, SLaTfatF is the happy one, because he's just gotten together with his wife The sequel, Mostly Harmless, is the bleak angry one from when he and his wife were on the rocks

      I haven't really watched R&M since season 2. Has there been a parallel to the weirdly sentimental moment where Marvin died?

      I would nominate a couple of moments as such The moment when Summer is having an existential crisis so Morty reveals he and Rick came from another world and show her her real brother and grandpa's graves (the source of the quote "Nobody exists on purpose")

          I'd nominate the part in season 3 where Rick has become so toxic and destructive that his own family abandons him and holes up from him in terror, showing consequences for his nihilistic behavior Too bad they swiftly and arbitrarily killed that plot to revert to status quo

          I mean, yeah, and I think the reveal of "Rick wins and can't be stopped, everything was according to plan" in the S3 premiere was the nadir for the fandom because it so brutally undercut him hitting rock bottom in the S2 finale

          The speech Rick gives Beth at the end of her special episode with her imaginary friends, offering to give her a life of adventure by creating a clone to be the dutiful wife and mother she can't be

          The corresponding speech Beth gives to Jerry in a later episode where she reveals her tearful fear that she's the impostor because she doesn't want to leave
