    Man people are actually mad about this to a degree that's kind of baffling to me, in defense of a version of HHGG that, as a fan, I don't really recognize You know HHGG was the original edgelord nihilistic science fiction thing right It starts with everyone on Earth dyinghttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1222246557228994560 …

    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

        "HHGG isn't about 'Nothing matters, so be an asshole', it's about 'Nothing matters, so let's have fun adventures'" Uhhh... no? HHGG is really snarky about the idea of fun adventures, there are repeated jokes about how everything cool has been turned into corporate tourist traps

        Ford is an extremely jaded cynical asshole and the whole society of hitchhikers he's part of is the same way It's Adams transplanting the bitter cynicism of being a backpacker in Europe to a science fiction setting

        But it was written in a British voice, so it sounded so much nicer about it.

        I think this is a lot of it. It's hard to imagine Rick and Morty being as comically unfazed and confused as Ford and Arthur are when the world gets blown up

        I don't see how it could be viewed any other way. One of them has a more American comic sensibility, where the anger is closer to the surface while HHGG is wry Brit all the way in the face of rampant, wanton destruction, but they're coming from very much the same place.

        "You know HHGG was the original edgelord nihilistic science fiction thing right" I think you've kinda missed some of the subtlety. It's a little more complicated than "lol, everyone dies".

        The original concept was that the earth ended for a different reason in each episode

        In today's Galaxy there is one word that is still beyond the pale. The concept it embodies is so revolting that the publication or broadcast of the word is utterly forbidden in all parts of the galaxy except one - where they don’t know what it means. That word is “Brexit” #HHGTB

        Because when people remember reading it long ago they read it as Monty Python in space, just a bunch of absurd stories reflecting contemporary society with lots of gallows humor

        So it's like those memes we see from right-wingers in the US and Britain, nostalgic for days when the country was great that always turn out to be "when I was a kid". Except that it's, um, people like me who needed to check their nostalgia and context, this time.
