I mean, I figure they’ll address this at some point? The show hasn’t really let the characters off the hook. At least not emotionally. Like, this isn’t even Morty’s first killing spree. But I do think I phrased my initial “good” comment incorrectly: Morty doing all of this of his own volition was “good” in that I

You have no problem with Morty slaughtering innocent people just so he could one day die old with his high school crush and nothing becomes of his actions afterwards? It’s one thing to make Rick just another Dr. Manhattan as long as Morty is there to be his Silk Spectre to remind him of his humanity but I can’t see

I too love to go to school to study things I find stupid and pointless to talk about

It’s 100% commentary, and in no way do I think the writers have any malice towards women or anything like that (nor do the writers on Sunny, for that matter.) I just frankly don’t get a lot out of that commentary myself anymore, as it’s something I’ve seen time and time again in TV comedies. I’d much rather Summer

I mean, “sympathetic” in terms of that current moment, sure...Dee would almost certainly do something terrible in the next scene to take that away, though :)

I didn’t even know Martin Scorsese watched Rick And Morty...

yeah, you’re right, this is definitely not a world in which Gamer Gate is relevant at all anymore, gooooooood catch.

I agree that Michael Scott was a complete asshole to Toby, no question. But the writers handled that in a way that was unique and unexpected, and had Michael insult and belittle the man in ways that were more than just yammering out a string of insults. Of course this goes to the tone of the show, and the character of

Criticism ≠ offense. And if reading complaints about a show makes your “eyes and soul hurt,” umm...maybe you don’t want to be on the AV Club. It won’t get better for you here.

Sorry, but... isn’t going out of your way to trigger immature brats who, I concur, make way too much about this show (which I really like) a little bit immature itself? ;)

Of course male characters are not immune from being the butt of the joke, despised character — in fact, Rick and Morty already has one in Jerry, and a very funny one at that. But to me, there’s a difference between the Toby’s of the world and the Britta’s, in that one seemed to be created from the start to serve that

Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?

The problem is that Rick and Morty really doesn’t know the difference between commenting on problematic behavior and engaging in it.

Really? If that’s adressing the toxic fanbase, it’s pretty weaksauce.

This isn’t the first time Rick and Morty yelled at Summer to end an episode (my mind goes back to “Morty’s Mind Blowers”) and, frankly, it’s a bit of a worrying trend. Well my hope is that it’s meta-commentary on the writers’ part, frankly, the running joke of the main characters insulting the “boring” female lead of

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Poor people.

Im glad 4,000+ US service members died so Ellen could teach us about friendship

My guess is that this Simmons is actually years older than the one we saw before that.  “We had time” -- they had 5 minutes!  Enoch upgraded the drive and they’ve been time travelling for a while.

Izel mentioned that her realm transcends life and death. May was essentially undead as long as she was in that realm.
