I heavily agree with this. If they do one or two ‘lore’ episodes every season, that would keep me happy. This just feels like the writing isn’t as tight anymore. Both Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland are also working on other projects so this show is definitely on auto pilot right now. Hopefully this is just an awkward…

I don’t know if it’s the show or it’s me, but I’m just not feeling it anymore.

It feels like The Rise of Skywalker in the sense that they looked at the criticisms of Season 3 and the criticisms of Season 4 then just said “Fuck it” and decided to do a “Best of...” season that retreads things they’ve done before. Seriously, this episode was just taking the “A Nightmare on Elm Street is kind of…

Probably best part of the episode.

Good write-up, but I think you are being too generous. I definitely chuckled during this but, it all felt a bit dumb.

I don’t know if this is a good show anymore.

At a certain point ironically selling out just looks like selling out with a little lip service. I mean, good for Roiland for making a character that’s useful for corporate shilling, I guess.

I think I’m just tired of Rick and Morty. Like, the show is technically good in the sense that it still gets some good jokes out every now and than but the show is just not interested in actually growing the characters past the point they already are. Which is frustrating because they keep teasing the idea of…

Why was Sylvie introduced as a patient, ruthless master planner only to be depicted as a petulant, impatient hothead ever since?

I like Dan Stevens for Captain Britain.  But he’d make a good Adam Warlock too . . .

I tell this story to the kids I encounter on the Internets.

I was 12 when Return of the Jedi came out. Sometime before the movie, I stumbled across a magazine where Anthony Daniels was interviewed. The interviewer asked him about Han Solo and whether he got out of carbon-freeze.

Daniels, “Well, I saw Harrison Ford on…

Also it’s worth mentioning Kang’s real name is Nathanial Richards and he’s a descendant of Reed Richards.

That was kind of amazing, actually. He just walked into the finale and took it over with a nearly episode length monologue. And it was captivating. That was just a really natural and charismatic piece of extended genre acting. The show still feels hung together with duct tape and fond wishes, it’s been a bit too…

i thought it was incredibly irritating and cliché that he kept doing the “villain eating while he talks” thing with the apples.

i take it you haven’t spent as many hours kissing mirrors in drag as i have.

This didn’t hit for me either. It felt sloppy in a way that R&M usually isn’t. Planetina’s heel turn came with almost no build-up and the resolution felt just as rushed (what happened to her magic rings? Is Morty just gonna stick ‘em in a safe or what?). It also seemed weird that Daphne had that “Hello” speech tic…

I agree with the review: this episode was meh and lacked payoff.

Dismissed, bootlicker. 

The main disconnect is that Loki wants to be a show full of twists, turns, and shocking reveals, but the writing isn’t clever enough to actually pull off that sense of mischievous fun.

“Surely the scene where Sylvie shows Hunter B-15 memories of her past life was meant to be a flashback montage, not just two women standing in a rainy parking lot”
