We already know the Scarlet Witch is important in the next Doc Strange Movie

It’s not Kang. It’s Kodos.

Wait a moment. That red-headed woman is another female Loki.

They made a deeper connection (romantic or not)

I want Sylvie to be happy, she deserves a break.

I can see it now, but it seems like something that only works if you’re exactly Harmon’s age. Actually, scratch that, I’m almost exactly Harmon’s age (though non-American), and the whole joke only reached me now that I’ve been reminded of the pop culture of those times.

your comparison to Futurama kind of nails it. That character work more deeply coded into the DNA of Futurama. Hence, those misty eyed moments (and there were a few of them) felt more earned and genuine.

Rick and Morty will never be able to replicate Futurama’s emotional touches (let alone BoJack Horseman’s), because so much of its humour is about calculated crudeness. After all, it’s a show that stems from a short where Marty McFly gives a blowjob to Doc Brown.

I think she’s supposed to be like the senior who’s dating a sophomore in high school. She seemed pretty young in her looks and attitude to me, not at all an adult woman. Sure, she has existed since the 90s, but intermittently (like a genie who goes to sleep when not needed), and she was manifested always the same, her…

Adult with Children Nearby Swim.

And the main joke in “one of each major ethnicity” is that the ethnicities were African, Asian, Caucasian and “ginger”. Family Guy level all right.

I don’t know, I feel like it’s getting worse. Like, once they tried and missed, now they aren’t even trying anymore and just use a software that creates automatic Rick and Morty title “puns”.

Episode was forgettable and sort of unfinished, if okay enough.

Oh no, Harmon was awkwardly rejected by a girl he met at a party? Again?

I had the feeling they plan to go back to this? I doubt it, but that was the feeling at the end. For one thing, Planetina is still running rampant murdering people as she sees fit.

It was on Adult Swim. It wasn’t on Amazon Prime (which airs the episodes without any bleeps).

It does seem extraordinarily on point. Nevertheless, that song is from 1982. Let’s say the line about the Arab doesn’t translate well to 2021.

It was also a very random pop culture riff, if there was no payoff as to why they were doing it (the Namor riff in the premiere was also random, but that was more the whole point of it, and its randomness made it funny). Like the reviewer said, I was expecting some kind of point regarding the concerns about the environ…

We gotta allow some Simpsons-like flexible/frozen continuity here, though. Morty has been 14 for years, then.

For real. You can certainly do nasty, politically uncorrect jokes, if by going that route you’re exploring some rich satirical vein or even just a very funny bit. But this felt like just for the sake of a joke that would feel old and lazy in 1990. (Maybe the origin was to show the Tina-teers were out of touch with…
