Rick and Morty Season 8 Reviews 1 and 3-5

This is a spoiler -free review by Rick and Morty season 8, which will premiere on Sunday, May 25th. New episodes are broadcast weekly by July 27th.

Eight seasons in his course have become Rick and Morty two shows. Sometimes it sticks to its roots as a science fiction adventure that achieves a new parody of a genre basic food every week. But it is best when it spends time to expand its characters and the world, to explore Rick’s dark background story, its effects on the multiverse and his relationship with his family. Unfortunately, the four episodes of the 8th season I saw that I saw on the classic Formula Rick and Morty, which is a bit tired.

In recent years, the show has questioned Rick’s dominance by pushing characters back against his abusive and self -destructive behavior and at the same time proving that the type who stands the smartest being in every reality is not in everything. This progress seems to be evaporating in season 8. While Rick after a big mistake in the season premiere “Summer of all fears”, he will mainly get what he wants, and convinces others to come into harmony with his amorality.

When Morty advocated actually helping people with their adventures, he regrets the decision. In the meantime, Rick thinks that it can work to his advantage that it is rather friendly than cruel, but it is not a lesson that can hold on. Judging by these consequences, season 8 takes a sadistic joy to undermine the potential character growth, even if there is an insight into what the Smith family is ready to do to each other to achieve their goals.

Rick and Morty still shine when it combines his absurdism with sharp writing and does not achieve any blows when she mock Christianity and the war in Afghanistan with some very strange science fiction options. Its exaggerated use of gore, violence and apocalyptic threats means that the operations always become high and susceptible to an incredible higher. And it will never forget the value of a good recall-simply to see how Morty’s decision to give a snorkel in a death house in a “summer of all fears”.

However, the latest consequences also offer fewer rewarding memories of things that Rick and Morty have done before. Some of them feel like a structural or thematic rescue speeches: “The Rick, the Mort & the ugly” is, for example, a solid little western that follows the model of the “Ricklantis mixture” and focuses on the failures from the destruction of the citadles of the Ricks, while the primary versions of Rick and Morty Bliss ignorantly around them. The body horrified “The last temptation of Jerry” is a mashup of The Santa clause And PrometheusBut under the surface it is just another opportunity to use Morty’s poor father Jerry (Chris Parnell) as a punching bag – which would be less annoying if it were as funny as (or the richer character arches) former Jerry episodes such as “The Jerrick Trap” or “Big difficulties in Little Sanchez”. Despite this killer snorkeling point, “Summer of All Fears” has a little too much together with the “Rick: A Mort Lived” of season 6, which also combined crazy action with an emotional arch via digital self.

It feels like Rick and Morty stand on a crossroads: in similar places in their long runs, other animated comedies Archer And The Venture Bros. Had developed beyond their parodies of espionage drillers and Hanna-Barbera-Jungen adventurers and remained fresh by growing and changing their characters. In season 7, Rick killed his nemesis and Morty confronted his fear of being left by Rick, and yet there seems to be no great development in the early parts of season 8. (Perhaps this is reflected in Episode 2, “Valkyrick”, which was not screech for critics.) The end of the last season also saw the titles that the title figures experienced, the titles that had with the cosmia and the cosmia and the feeling that they had to help the cosmic and not. If Rick and Morty are not careful, the audience can feel that way.
