I think you and mikefoo both hit parts of it. I think mikefoo’s right that this is an example of Rick’s arrested development and refusing to make a choice.

That said...I think this let him give Beth both options. And I think that also reflects on his own internal conflicts. For whatever reason, Rick was an absentee…

I honestly think it’s fruitless to compare Rick and Morty to Bojack in terms of character development. Bojack, for all its wackiness, was one of the most considered and engaged character studies in the medium, and the major arcs from that show are all tracing its characters as they go through genuine, massive personal…

He’s got this kind of arrested development thing going on, where he can use his genius and technology to avoid the difficult choices, conversations and consequences that are part of being an adult. This is just yet another example of that, where someone who's really struggling comes to him with a difficult choice…

It seems to me that Rick’s ‘failure’ to make the decision for Beth ensured that both Beths are equally valid since no one, including him, knows which one isn’t ‘real,’ and I think that was the best way to handle the whole thing? I mean, I feel like he actually did something objectively Good there, even if it came from…

First, a bit of a typo: It’s Tammie not Tonya

Can somebody explain how In-n-Out is the favorite restaurant of North Dakota of all places, a state that is over 800 miles from the closest In-n-Out in Riverdale, Utah?

The people responsible for sacking the people responsible for this post have also been sacked.

Let’s take a second to remember what spawned Twitch. Justin.tv was a place where a guy livestreamed his life. It was voyeuristic, but he was also selling himself. Justin.tv was a product, like most things on the net.

“But if I’m not allowed to shitpost and post absolute harmful bullshit with impunity, am I even AMERICAN!?”

Yo...momma.

Monsters University was better than Monsters Inc. Fight ME!

Monsters, Inc. has always been my favorite Pixar movie. I think it is extremely underrated. It has the best world building (mentioned in the article, thanks Erik!) which combines playfulness with scale (big monsters, tiny monsters) and some really excellent art design, alongside a fully fleshed out society relying on…

Monsters, Inc. The best Pixar movie, fight me.

Yeah, I’m also thinking Pixar is more concerned about the art. Even with an ever-growing number of people using political affiliation as a means to weed others out, most companies (and really most individuals, for now anyway) can see past how someone votes.

Ugh. Thanks for the information. The Trump presidential corporation has created its own very special and unique class of underdogs, hasn’t it?

I assume in Ratatouille and Brave he was hidden behind some exaggerated French and Scottish accents?

I try to separate the art from the artist, but Ratzenberger, Grammer, Allen — if you’re a conservative in Hollywood, Pixar has a job for you.

I read in the all-Latinx Coco, they had to scramble to find him something to do. I think he got a single word.
