    Rick and Morty was the show for me in the beginning even when the dumbasses showed up, but it lost its appeal after the scandal. Just doesn’t feel the same.

        Probably this one where a bunch of fans attacked a McDonald’s to get Szechuan sauce. Rick and Morty got some mainstream attention. People would say something like “You like R&M? You must be toxic.”

          I feel like they’re more likely talking about Jeff Roiland’s (edit: creator, one of the main writers, and voice actor for most male characters (including both Rick and Morty)) abuse allegations, after which they canned him as writer/ voice actor and the show kind of lost it’s flair.

            Tbh, the current and last season are great.

            The voice actors are great. If I didn’t know about the change, I’d never have noticed

            You’re joking, right?

            Roiland is a great voice actor, but the rambling “comedy” bits got old and repetitive real fast. I don’t miss them. That, and the new VOs hit it out of the park.

                kind of. but it’s mostly character development. His edge mostly was “I’m drunk and an asshole who pretends to not care”

                He starts to actually care about his family. The ultra depressed suicidal rick got a bit tiring after a while

      honestly it was getting a bit stale before, with its creator still onboard. its just that the scandal probably shooed people away all at once.
