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

Replying to @arthur_affect
The difference to me is that Rick is an active antagonist, a vogon in human form, rather than *just* a cruel, jaded asshole. I cheer for Arthur & Morty, and worry about those who idolize Zaphod or Rick.

I lost all sympathy for Rick in that episode where he manipulated Morty into giving up his writing career in a way that *simultaneously* involved annihilating billions of innocent bystanders.

Replying to @Bioliberalism @cnwhite234 and
I'd seen him pettily undermine, abuse and gaslight his family before, and I'd seen him mass-murder on a cosmic scale, but both at once? Wow. It's a good show, but Rick is a black hole of a human being. Not a vogon, though. Too individualistic.

He inherits the Ford Prefect thing about hating Vogons, which in this setting are the Federation "They're bureaucrats, I don't respect them"
