hhgttg never relied on constant gross out humour so its way better, hhgttg would never decide to spend 5 mins having dragons talking about fucking each other. r&m suffers from people thinking its smarter then it is becuase it had a science element and did a couple clever things

early on. its got some geuinely good moments that they just seem hell bent on forgetting to carry on with, like the robot morty part and would rather swear and then fart. it relies to much on being all ‘fuck it i’m so smart’ to be even close to hhgttg.

and i agree with Róisín that hhgttg has a lot more depth to it about well anything. it has an undercurrent of overall story/narritive/universe building that r&m just like ‘fuck it’ about and could never become a beloved 40yo piece of work.

I think my feelings are bc I'm also a big fan of Rick and Morty because I do think it has moments of bring genuinely really funny and interesting. But a lot of the central philosophy of it is, intentionally or not, geared towards validating a bunch of dickheads.

I just get so sick of Dan Harmon acting shocked when people idolise his anti hero. Like you make him outwit every adversary, he spends his time taking drugs and fucking beautiful women, but sometimes he says "I have depression" and yr surprised lonely internet boys idolise him?

Hitchhikers guide doesn't have the same thing of people being dicks in their attempts to emulate Ford Prefect. Maybe it'd be different if it was made now but I'm not sure it would.

yeah. it is frustrating, its like this man is a dick and always wins, and your surprised dickheads think he’s good. i enjoy the show but i quickly went from ‘i love this’ to ‘its enjoyable’ it just seemed to get the worst fans

i don’t think it would. it’d be like people emulating Ford buy making sure you where well prepped for the day, with the 4/5 main hhgttg charaters, there is no real dickheaded behaviour, no negative attitudes as a whole, even Zaphod is likeable even if self serving.

I think a lot of people yelling at me over this take haven't actually watched Rick and Morty and just know the memes Like you know a whole theme of the show is Rick hates the Federation for the same reason Ford hates the Vogons ("They're bureaucrats, I don't respect them")

Ford isn't really a consistent character across the books but in that I think he is a lot like how the show imagines Rick Like his sudden passion for freeing all the animals in the London Zoo in Mostly Harmless (after showing no compunction about animal cruelty previously)
