E4 impressions|This is not R&M, but a deformed South Park

Watching E4, an episode with no logic and no highlights. The core of R&M in my heart is not to satirize any current affairs politics or mediocrely describe the mediocre growth of an abnormal family. It should be a vigorous and barren universe, a time and space full of rationality but nothingness and absurdity. Even the citadel, which is full of metaphors, reveals profound absurdity in its narrative method and content. The same is true for the Wall Country series of alien refugees next door.

However, since the beginning of the last season, the show has gradually spun and turned into a satirical by-product of real society. The world of wine bottles at E1 this season made me seem to have seen Dali’s absurd time and space again, but from E2 on, I returned to the South Park-style narrative again. All these things in the world can be done by the deep well ice in the small town of SP. There is no need for grandpa’s imperial conquest, right? ? There is no deconstructive destruction of reality, but a tickling "even stabbing" a few times. At the same time, rick gradually lost its destructive power.

Rick's destructiveness is to break the reality and reveal the absurdity. Why did rick even return to the family or be restrained by the family since the last season? I think this is a signal that R&M itself is bound to reality, or that it is raising a white flag to realistic rationality. However, these changes may also be caused by the dramatic changes and conflicts in American society and the world. No one can escape from reality. This may be revealed by the development of R&M as a drama. The frustrating fact. In my opinion, the psychiatrist Wong’s answer seems reasonable but full of Western-style naive fantasies. She believes that Rick’s adventure is to escape the boring repair and the repair of life and family is important. But if the entire universe is a product of absurdity and nothingness, what is the point of restoration? Instead, what is needed at this time is destructive deconstruction to open the window to reshape meaning together. This is why we need Rick. It's like Ultraman's protagonist is actually not Ultraman, but a monster, a product of the extremeization of a crazy human society composed of desire and despair. Crazy enough to need monsters to subject the essence of this society. And Rick is that monster. R&M was originally the monster, but gradually moved towards the divinity of Ultraman, and it was difficult to get rid of the wildness of the monster, which was nondescript and lost its subjectivity.

This season has been disappointing so far, hope I get slapped in the face.
