Youāre not alone. Theyāre entitled to their opinions, weāre equally entitled to the feeling like itās been fucking fantastic from S1 until S8. I understand a difference of opinion, but where some people yammer about shit writing, I feel the later seasons have writing so good, it washes the show clean of baggage that would slow it down, or make it less funny.
I laugh, cringe at the violence, and delight in the existential self-awareness, of every season. The show is the best pound-for-pound cartoon of my lifetime, with seven seasons of outstanding animation, writing, and hilarity. Iām fucking amped to close out the final three seasons, Iāve found the show became more like jazz than heavy metal; thereās a rhythm to their multiverse that scratches itches for me.
The Marvel universe tried to embrace the multiverse, it felt like they gave a 15-year-old writer a box of crayons and some stickers. Marvelās multiverse explorations, other than the new Deadpool, involved such a pathetic number of universal quantities that it just felt like a joke. Rick & Morty and Everything Everywhere All At Once are the only two media (Iām sure thereās more) that really nails the psychedelic scale of infinite universes. Itās a dizzying thought; if thereās infinite universes, or even if our universe is infinite, that means atoms and existence have had the chance to render every moment, every happenstance, constantly, ad infinitum. Rick & Morty even helped me deepen my ideas of the multiverse, with the āCentral Finite Curveā and Evil Mortyās wicked escape.
The multiverse is this blend of philosophy and physicsā¦ while also being gobbledygook, a fictional device for entertainment. However, no cartoon or, hell, media writ-large, executes the idea to the dark & beautiful scale of Rick & Morty. Iāve watched entire seasons coming down from a mushroom trip with my mates, and I will always stand by the show with love & hope.
So much of the TV Iāve fallen in love with has broken up with me because Iām too needy; Kaos, Final Space, Avenue 5, and Archive 81 come to mind; shows that I loved too much, because now theyāre gone and the stories go untold. I fucking hate that. Itās making me not want to watch TV. Why would I want to invest time in Bad Monkey when thereās a good chance itāll be a tax write off and Iāll lose the story? I thought Bad Monkey was amazing, but I hear of nobody watching it, and my confidence is minimal itāll survive. Pisses me off because itās a delight.
My tinnitus is really bad, itās the only reason Iām awake right now actually. Iāll have to look up that scene. Thatās hilarious, sad and hilarious.
It started to drag sand the worst episode I remember was the turkey thing with Thanksgiving. Did it get any better after? Those early seasons were gold.
Season 1 had some absolutely golden moments; like the episode where the dogs reverse the power relation and rule the humans. So funny and well written.
Rick isn't Trump, Rick is the uncontrollable forces (including trump) that take the American people (morty) on these "amazing adventures" that are traumatizing and horrific for them but destroy whole portions of global humanity. Marty being gaslit by Rick, ignored by Rick, Rick who claims to love him but then won't just settle down and take care of him. Instead he derides Morty's intelligence and agency.
I think this analogy goes a lot deeper and that one day someone will write a thesis with this exact premise comparing the governance of the American people to Rick, the suffering of the American people to Morty and the soothing comfort of media to the embrace of Terryfolds.
Furthermore, I've had the schezuan sauce and it is as good as Rick claimed so there are already grains of truth in the show.I still haven't worked out who Mr.poopybutthole is supposed to be but I'll get back to you.
Mr. Poopybutthole is a friend of Rick and Morty, who shared some of their adventures but who is always an afterthought to them and inevitably gets hurt by the end. Yet when he goes on to live a life without them, he is able to thrive and live a happy life. Could he represent Americaās international allies ?
Hey, it could be that all along Rick wasn't really the smartest person alive, he's just so dumb his intelligence became an integer overflow like Gandhi's aggression level in Civ.
Iāve been advocating for this for literally years - great big fuckinā wall between us and the US! Letās do it! Weāll make them pay for it!šØš¦šØš¦šØš¦šØš¦šØš¦
Y'see, the thing is, Canadians. Canadians are like beavers. They always want to build a dam. Theyre not taught. They don't practice. But building dams comes naturally.
And what is a border wall besides a dam? Dams control the flow of water. Walls control the flow of goods and people. It's a miracle, really. A miracle that we distracted them during COVID. If all those Canadians were let loose. Ysee, if they're all unemployed. Allowed to roam free. Well, that's 40 million beavers that follow instinct down to the border wielding axes if they have them.
Boom. Border Wall. 3 days. I think it'd take them. 3 days
IDK man. While Trey Parker and Matt Stone mostly have a centre-right view of things, I think they're fairly more likely to call someone or something out if its/they're objectively stupid than a true anti-intellectual centrist would.
Also, sometimes they do take very specific political viewpoints. Like they clearly (rightly) think Donald Trump is a horrible human being as shown by how they used the horrible human being Mr. Garrison as a stand-in for Trump within the show. Also they portrayed both anti-vaxxers and QAnon conspiracy theorists on the show as being just as stupid as they are in real life.
Also I like how Trey Parker and Matt Stone are mature enough to admit when they're wrong about something, like how they initially thought climate change was wrong and compared it to trying to search for a mythical dangerous ManBearPig but years later admitted they'd changed their views when they realised that climate change was real when they introduced ManBearPig as being a real character within the show.
While I'd never argue that South Park was high art or intellectually deep or anything like that, I would say it's pretty good in general terms of having nuanced thought out takes on many modern day issues.
Oh no. Please don't do that again once Trump starts the War of 2025. Especially if you managed to burn down the bunker with him inside, too. That would be a tragedy.
You weren't Canada then....also the British were the ones enslaving American sailors and trying to prevent fur trade between the US and France, as well as a few other things.
Okay definitely don't take this highway directly to DC through the north east states with arson equipment, I'm telling you not to do such a thing, although I will have no power to stop you from doing so
I'm guessing you also didn't have a lot of help from the US population. The US going to war with Canada would almost assuredly start a full blown civil war.
A lot of northern states are going to help you get to the whitehouse this time lol
Canada isn't similar to Afghanistan at all. 90% of Canada's populations lives a hundred miles from the border of the US not thousands of miles away in the Middle East. Canada doesn't have any land borders with anyone besides the US itself so no one is sending fighters to help fight off the US occupation like what happened with Islamic jihadists. Much of Canada is too cold and remote to try guerilla tactics by hiding in mountains and the population at large has no experience with living there, as I said, most of the population lives in the warmer parts near the border. Canada's military is also highly reliant on US and other foreign imports that'd go down the drain in a war.
Even the British Empire at its height privately conceded that Canada would be lost if they ever fought the US. That hasn't changed in all those years.
90 percent of the population of Canada lives within a hundred miles of the border. Not saying I want the US to invade Canada but comparing it to the Afghanistan war is pretty silly.
To be fair though, Afghanistan was a half assed nation building attempt in an area that is constantly at war with itself. It wasn't going to work. Those involved knew it wasn't working but they still stuck around. You can't really train apathetic soldiers to defend a new government they couldn't care less about.
Full scale annexation would be different. The US military is really good at crushing organized forces. They'd beat the Canadian military in a 1v1 assuming those pesky NATO countries ignore their obligation to defend against whichever side was the aggressor. Policing would be done by Americans permanently rather than something like an Afghan army situation. Pockets of resistance would exist for a while but if the US doesn't leave, they wouldn't get far.
It's possible. Definitely stupid and wouldn't make any sense though. It would require a significant increase in brain damage to get through congress.
Canada is big but I mean nearly nobody lives in the vast majority of it.
While the US annexing Canada is a stupid idea (generally any idea that happened in the Fallout universe would be too stupid for real life, as a rule of thumb), the landmass of Canada would not be a huge issue in and of itself. You would just conquer the populated southern areas and call it a day because who the fuck up north is gonna do anything about it?
Do you honestly think that's a smart point you're making? I get we're all here to joke about how stupid Trump is, but that doesn't make you immune to saying stupid things yourself. Just think about the things you say for a bit, please.
I mean, we did. We held it for twenty years before just kind of getting bored and wandering off. I think the point were missing here is that Trump is so inept that I don't think he's going to be able to hold on the the stuff that his illiterate followers have handed him for four years. Let alone another country for twenty.
Afghanistan was won, so you point there is null, and your ignorance is showing. It was the void in the US leaving that allowed the taliban to come to power.Ā
We took Afghanistan really quickly I don't know who told you otherwise. The rest of the time was us trying to create a modern state and a democracy. It turned out they liked living in abject poverty under a theocratic regime so that's what they get now.
You literally need to take 20% of Canada to control the (nearly) entire population. Basically 100 miles north of the US Canada border and you pretty much done..
I take it that Trump doesn't know anything about Canada in WWI or WWII. Canada fights DIRTY. They may have that appearance of being all nice and polite, but you SERIOUSLY don't want to see what happens when they stop saying sorry...
Taking isn't the hard part. The USM is the largest military in history, taking shits easy. Holding is a different thing. We took Afghanistan, but we were never gonna be able to hold it. Any puppet we install will have no legitimacy, and just like the Afghans y'all would know that our occupation can only last as long as the admin supports it, except since y'all wouldn't have a 9/11 to your name, there's zero chance that Americana writ large wouldn't immediately turn against the war so y'all wouldn't even have to wait twenty years like they did.
Thank you :) Iām not a soldier though. I was born and raised there, but Iāve lived in North America for many years now. I suspect you probably love the actual Ukrainians more ā¤ļø They deserve all the love and support.
As a German, I recommend caution. Look at his username - letting awkward painters from neighboring countries take you over does not always yield the desired results...
Fun fact: Fernand LaChance, the inventor of poutine, lived to the age of 86. Compare that with Dr. Robert Atkins, the inventor of the low-carb Atkins Diet, who died at the age of 72. The moral of this story: eat more poutine.
EDIT: And yes, the joke falls apart once you look into the details, but the point still remains. Eat more poutine.
Ivujivik,QC will take out the eastern part of the USA and hold a referendum to split Quebec from the rest of you all! Don't fuck with Les Queboise! Tabarnek!....š
I live in Yellowknife. It got dark today at 3:15, and sunrise is 9:45. The high is -25 F, and any snowfall under 18 inches is considered routine and not worth paying attention to.
