Imagination and Time Travel -- Episode 5 of Season 4

Still the same recipe, still the familiar taste. Imaginative as always. However, after reading it, the idea of ​​"if this season is the last season, it's okay". It's certainly interesting to compare it to other shows. There is a huge amount of information, countless easter eggs and stalks, a lot of knowledge points, all kinds of yellow violence, full of fun. But compared to the first three seasons, it feels mediocre for the first time. If you compare the four seasons, the first three seasons each have their own merits and classic episodes. It is difficult to say the number one. But the fourth season, the biggest impression to me is that although it is still wonderful and the production maintains a very high level, it is far from the surprise and shock that the first three seasons brought me. If ranked, the fourth season so far is definitely at the bottom. Halfway through the fourth season, it is almost impossible to turn over.

This episode is mainly about time travel. To be precise, it is a mockery of time travel. Technological progress, if not harnessed properly, will destroy itself. In a sense, time travel is quite silly. Because there are indeed various loopholes, the timelines interact with each other and cause confusion, and finally become absurd. Still, mocking the Terminator series is pretty funny.

"Rick and Morty" has been made so far, and the expression of values ​​has been very direct. In the first three seasons, I will be shocked by the reflection and questioning of various issues in the animation, and the way of expression is so imaginative that I am satisfied every time I watch an episode. Compared with the previous three seasons, the originality of the fourth quarter has seriously declined, and the values ​​​​are prominent. Elitism, nihilism, scientific supremacy, rationality supremacy, pessimism about human nature, criticism of various current social systems, liberal democracy, anti-Nazi authoritarian dictatorship, distrust of religion, materialism, vigilance against populism, opposition to everything Forms of oppression, using all kinds of yellow violence to eliminate all kinds of ignorance and superstition.

On the one hand, I really like "Rick and Morty" and hope to keep making it. On the other hand, there would be no regrets if Rick and Morty ended in season four. The first three seasons have already finished the fourth season, and even the fifth season and the sixth season, and it seems unnecessary to continue the production.
