At the tail end of summer 2017, I’d read about how Dan Harmon, who produced Community, had a cartoon on Adult Swim. The Quest for More and More and More Rick and MortyĪs a long-time cartoon watcher and cartoon fan-cartoon junkie?-it took me far too long to discover Rick and Morty, but when I did, it was at peak Rick and Morty, season 3. You could say I love cartoons-others might say that I have a problem. And when it comes to the new stuff, Adventure Time, The Amazing World of Gumball, Teen Titans Go!, We Bare Bears, Clarence, Uncle Grandpa, Craig of the Creek, Steven Universe, and Over the Garden Wall, are just a sampling of the cartoons I watch. Let’s not forget The Simpsons, Ren & Stimpy, Daria, and Beavis and Butthead. I even watched Freakazoid! and The Maxx during their limited runs. Joe, as well as Transformers, ThunderCats, He-Man, She-Ra: Princess of Power, Batman the Animated Series, The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter’s Laboratory, and Pinky and the Brain. I grew up watching everything from Scooby Doo, Where Are You! to Captain Caveman to G.I.
I seek them out not only because I’m a parent with two children, but also because I’ve always loved cartoons. Regretfully, I came to Rick and Morty late, practically on accident. There’s no simple way to categorize the show because Rick and Morty is funny, vile, sad, absurd, grotesque, science-y, and thrilling.
No matter who you are, part of the appeal is the depth because Rick and Morty comics is like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where you want to take apart and analyze every single element, every character and situation and possible outcome-time travel be damned! Trouble is, you might have a hard time taking apart Rick and Morty and analyzing its components. Polymaths will love it, and let’s not forget the kids, they absolutely adore Rick and Morty. Dan Harmon & Justin Roiland, and their stable of writers and directors, have created a buffet of what Marshall McLuhan would call hot and cold media, this is a post postmodernist cartoon for media omnivores. In addition to that Back to the Future element, countless other references and influences make defining Rick and Morty difficult because it’s one big-huge huge!-mash-up. The household tensions, parents debating, and sibling rivalries also make Rick and Morty feel like a family sitcom, especially the relationship between grandpa Rick and his grandson Morty, characters directly inspired by Back to the Future’s Doc and Marty-fun fact, before becoming Rick and Morty, it was a Justin Roiland cartoon about characters named Doc and Mharti. It also has zaniness on par with Being John Malkovich, Mad Max, Weird Science, Fight Club, and pretty much every David Cronenberg movie, especially The Fly, but let’s throw in Scanners and Videodrome for good measure.
Rick and Morty has science fiction you’d see in movies such as Blade Runner or The Matrix Trilogy or Interstellar, as well as 2001: A Space Odyssey, with the added bonus of twists and turns you’d find in The Twilight Zone.
