It is a journal without spoile by Rick and Morty season 8, which will be presented on Sunday May 25. New episodes are every week until July 27.
Eight seasons after his race, Rick and Morty became two shows. Sometimes he clings to his roots as a science fiction verture that prepares a new parody of a gender base every week. But it is better to spend time extending your characters and your world, exploring the dark background of Rick, his impact on the multiverse and his relationship with his family. Unfortunately, the four episodes of season 8 that I saw the classic formula Rick and Morty, which becomes a little tired.
In recent years, the spectacle has challenged Rick’s domination by making the characters repel his abusive and self -destructive behavior while simultaneously proving that the guy who cares about the smartest being in any reality is not just about everything. This progress seems to have evaporated in season 8. Although Rick is dupped after making a big mistake during the first of the season, “the summer of all fears”, he mainly gets what he wants and persuades others to comply with his amorality.
When Morty complains for trying to help people in their adventures, he ends up regretting the decision. Rick, on the other hand, finds that being kind rather than cruel can work to his advantage, but it is not a lesson condemned to stay. To judge by these episodes, season 8 takes a sadistic joy to undermine the potential growth of the characters, even if it gives an overview of what the Smith family is ready to do to achieve its goals.
Rick and Morty still shine when he associates his absurdism with a clear writing, pulling no punch when he makes fun of Christianity and the war in Afghanistan with very strange science fiction twists and turns. Its exaggerated use of gore, violence and apocalyptic threats means that the issues are always high and inclined to increase improbably. And he has never forgotten the value of a good reminder – wait to see how Morty’s decision to add a snorkel to a death car in “the summer of all fears” is bearing fruit.
However, his new episodes also offer less rewarding reminders of things that Rick and Morty have done before. Several of them feel like structural or thematic recovery: “Le Rick, Le Mort & The Ugly”, for example, is a solid small western that follows the model of “the Ricklantis mixture”, focusing on the fallout from the destruction of the Citade of Ricks, while the primary versions of Rick and Morty remain with malicious trotting. The Body Horror Heavy “The last temptation of Jerry” is a mashup of Santa Claus Clause And PrometheusBut under the surface, it’s just another opportunity to use the poor Papa de Morty, Jerry (Chris Parnell), like a punch bag – which would be less annoying if it was as funny as (or offered the arches of richer characters) of the previous jerry episodes like “The Jerrick Trap” or “Big Disorder in Little Sanchez”. Even with this diving killer with killer, “Summer of All Frears” has a little too common with “Rick: Death Well lived” of season 6, which also combined a wacky action with an emotional arc on digital self.
It looks like Rick and Morty are at a crossroads: at similar points in their long races, other animated comedies Archer And The Venture Bros. had evolved beyond their parodies of spy thrillers and Hanna-Barbera Boy Adventurers, remaining fresh by allowing their characters to grow and change. Season 7 saw Rick kill his sworn enemy and Morty confronts his fear of being abandoned by Rick, and yet no major development seems to have an effect on the first parts of season 8. (Maybe we see this reflected in episode 2, “Valkyrick”, which was not projected for critics.) The end of last season also saw the characters who admitted that all the cosmic horrors Pleadors that they experienced had the cosmic horrors and dozens of pleadings remained a bit. If Rick and Morty are not careful, his audience could also start to feel this.
