After brushing the four seasons, I wanted to write something, but I couldn't write it out, so I went back and finished it a second time, and I was still short of words.
(spoiler alert)
There are highlights in the four seasons. Although the fourth season is slightly weaker, it is still not enough to make this beauty come down to the altar. To be picky, the rhythm of the first two seasons is faster than the second two seasons, which is very in line with the neurotic and genius style of the protagonist rick. The amount of information in one episode is so large that it can be made into 10 episodes of domestic dramas. The next two seasons fell into the rut of the core American value of "family". It was unbearable for a genius like Rick to entangle with Jerry for two seasons, but it also enriched the character of Rick to some extent. Make him more lively and lovable, although I personally don't like this kind of pandering, such as "Selling Rot" in the third season, Rick and Jerry Rick and Morty? I'm all torn apart. Although this "catering" is more like a spoof, it can be done otherwise. If the genius brain holes of the first two seasons are continued, the screenwriters may be tired.
There are quite a few clips in the four seasons that pay tribute to classic film and television, of course, the original part of the genius is the most worth mentioning. The stalk of Infinite Universe is not original, but it plays very well. The sixth episode of the first season first appeared and was directly conferred a god. Morty asked rick to invent a love potion for him to win the heart of the girl he liked. As a result, the effect of a series of unexpected potions was distorted, and everyone on earth became monsters. Rick simply gave up this earth and went to another place. A parallel time and space, in that time and space, rick and Morty found a solution to the monster and were accidentally killed by the experiment. The two successfully replaced the dead themselves and lived in this time and space. It's hard to describe the feeling of watching this episode for the first time. Morty and I on the screen watched Rick calmly drag the body and said, "You drag yours, I drag mine, that's pretty fair." People buried themselves in the yard, the music played at the right time, Morty walked into the house in confusion, looked up at the parents who were arguing as usual, the sister who was sitting in front of the TV playing on the phone, and finally sat on the sofa. At that moment, I felt that this film has risen to the height of philosophy, and mortals should not criticize it.
And in the tenth episode, there is an infinite universe that makes people stunned. The ricks in the infinite space and time of the infinite universe set up a Rick Committee to fight (the trouble they caused), and the rick in the space and time opposite us on the earth is suspected because Rick was arrested for murdering other planes and refusing to join the committee. You may doubt life when you see one or two of yourself, but you may only take it for granted when you see thousands of yourself forming a city. Ruicheng is like that.
The murder of Rick runs through the whole episode, and Morty also discovers the real reason why Rick needs himself and him to take risks. Because of the difference in brain waves (IQ) between the two, Morty is Rick's best anti-tracker. Earth Rick found the real murderer. It was an evil Rick. He captured countless Mortys and tortured them to cover up his whereabouts. Earth Morty led the Mortys to revolt to defeat Evil Rick. The Rick Committee apologized to Earth Rick. The most ricket rick I went home happily with the most mortyest morty. Did you think this was over? In reverse, the Rick Council finds that the evil Rick is just a controlled robot, and that the evil Morty sent back as a victim like the other Mortys is the real culprit. Evil Morty debuts.
Ruicheng was not mentioned in the whole second season, and the writers of the third season finally remembered the foreshadowing they buried in the first season, and began to write their magic. The first episode killed the Rick Committee, and the seventh episode details the story of Ruicheng. If it was a simple political metaphor for the Ricks to form a committee government to fight against the Galactic Federal Government, the seventh episode is countless political similes. Mortys who have lost their ricks live in Morty towns filled with three religions and nine-rates, rick factories that squeeze the blood and sweat of rick workers, and a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Although they all have the same face, each Rick and Morty has a different character, identity and life, just like you and me off-screen. Here, the evil Morty appeared for the second time, ran for president as the only morty candidate, narrowly won with an excellent speech, and after he came to power, he purged the rick chaebol, suppressed the parliamentary system, and established an iron-fisted empire. I like metaphors like this, but too much metaphor may turn into a second park, hero, and at the same time suffering for the audience inside our walls who want to see.... don't know what evil Morty will do Great career, this morty whose IQ is much higher than the average Morty has too many mysteries, will we see it again in the fifth season?
Many people say that the appearance of evil morty is not accidental. Morty has a lot of dark sides. For example, in the ninth episode of the second season, in the setting similar to Westworld and the Hunger Games, morty has collapsed from the first murder to the stressful murder such as Ma, so is the second episode of the third season, but in my opinion, this can only be regarded as the dark side that all ordinary people have. Although the background of morty is too sci-fi to be in touch with reality, it has been successfully shaped to make everyone in reality. Feel kind, you may like him, hate him, have no feelings for him, but he is indeed more familiar to us than rick who is strong enough to be liked by everyone. Hawking said that parallel time and space are indeed possible, so what will we be like in other time and space, whether we will become evil Mortys with a thousand odds of a thought, no one knows.
But when it comes to lame, it's naturally not Jerry, the character who was officially stamped and complained, and morty has to go back a little bit. There are almost four big characters floating in the whole season of the third season: Jerry is a loser, and it is a bold guess that the screenwriter may be the corresponding prototype in the hard life for a long time. To be honest, this kind of experience of "contempt for patriarchy" is still a bit new to me. As the "head of the family" in Chinese semantics, jerry may not be so scolded for changing his nationality. Gambling and walking away, Jerry is considered to be of good character and character. The main reason for his family's disdain is his weak personality and low IQ. Rick's reason should add one more: let his daughter Beth get pregnant prematurely.
But that's not the reason why Jerry and the whole family are separated and reunited in season 3 and 4! At the end of the two seasons, there is actually a tendency for jerry rick to choose one or the other and finally the family re-accepts jerry, just like the previous episodes are all farts. I don't like the way in which a genius like rick is kicked into the quagmire of family relationships in order to bring the audience closer. I'm not here to see Uncle Lao Niang. Why does jerry have to worry about rick's bad attitude towards him, why does rick have to deal with jerry and let him get out of this house? rick would waste two seasons for jerry which is rick-diculous.
The popularity of the character rick can be seen from NetEase Cloud. Although this thin old man and handsome are not compatible, it does not prevent fans from expressing their love for their grandfather in the relevant comment area, just like straight first and then bent (schizophrenia is also very similar). Zhang Qiling was consecrated like a god. The first season and the second season are a bit like the old dad in Shameless, hiccupping, farting, drinking and taking drugs, and having a low moral bottom line. The next two seasons are completely different. I have this association probably because I hate that dad myself. His teeth are itchy, when you think he's a piece of shit, he'll immediately show a spark of humanity, when you wipe your tears and think he's worthy of love, he's back to being an old scoundrel, in love and hate you've been deceived After several seasons. But here, rick with the blessing of high IQ is somewhat more cute, and the essence of human beings is strong.
Therefore, it is even more moving when strong people rarely reveal their vulnerable side. At the end of the first season, when Birdman interprets rick's code phrase "I am in pain, please help me", although I know that this is a sensational trap of the screenwriter, I Still stepped in without hesitation. In contrast, the third episode of the second season is a bit more natural. Rick and his old lover, Unity, reunited to spend time together. In the end, Unity was afraid of losing herself and left Rick with a love letter and left without saying goodbye. In fact, there are other things worth exploring in this episode. , such as the interference of collectivism and the independence of individuals, etc., but these are all covered up by rick's silent and vast loneliness. At the end, rick returns to his place to create an alien creature, give it life and kill it, and he also When trying to kill myself the same way because I was drunk and unsuccessful, I was genuinely hurt.
Similarly, there is also the last episode of the second season, disdain that marriage is the factory setting of almost all high-IQ characters, rick said to Morty in the first season "break the cycle, rise above, focus on science" (an anti-marriage declaration) , reluctant to go to his friend Birdman's wedding, and finally opened up after being pulled by his family "what r the odds this is legit and not just some big lies we r all telling ourselves because we r afraid to die alone? But here's the thing, bird person is my best friend, if he loves Tammy, I love Tammy, too. To friendship, to love, to my greatest adventure ever—opening myself up to others." As soon as he finished speaking, the bride killed her friend, a bloody wedding Come, it turns out that this is a trap for the Galactic Federal Government to capture Rick and others. Rick and his family are exiled outside the galaxy. In order to let his family return to a normal life, Rick voluntarily exposes the coordinates and surrenders. The background music "hurt" plays, drinking the last glass of wine alone, pictures of old friends fall to the ground, Beth says he won't come back, right, the police of Galactic Federation say "good morning" to Beth, on the mini planet, the sun Rising, a new day has come, and I've been hurt by staying put.
Rick's love for his family is restrained and deep. Although the fourth season is weak and not so rick, the final episode reveals the mystery left in the third season: Rick cloned his daughter to satisfy his daughter Beth's desire to live two lives, but he made it himself. By mixing up the clone identities, both daughters have memory backups, and the other will have all the memories when one dies.
This is very rick. It's even more rick than sitting alone on the toilet in the second episode of season four, because rick doesn't seem to be overcome by loneliness but just shakes hands.
To repeat why it makes people so sad, it's fine when you watch it. Just write it here. There are also powerful pickle ricks, McNuggets, and rick's various cool, arrogant and rogue moments, so I won't go into details.
I like this story, some people say "Rick and Morty are the driving force to live" "This show can be used as a standard for mate selection, and it is not worth talking about if it is not rated more than four stars." I agree with both hands and feet!
Hope rick and his family are well in the infinite universe.
