Everyone on Rick and Morty.
They're not supposed to be likeable, they're supposed to be entertaining.
I find they're neither.

I've got three questions for you.
-
Did you not grow up watching cartoons?
-
Do you find the science fiction based topics to be too much?
-
Do you believe there shouldn't be cartoons geared towards adults?
If you answered yes to all of these:

Who hurt you?
I grew up watching cartoons, and still do. I'm an avid scifi, horror, and speculative fiction reader/watcher. There absolutely should be animations geared toward adults.
I don't like Rick and Morty. I think it's dumb, self obsessed, drivel. I think it's writing style is the literary equivalent of pumpkin spice latte. No one hurt me, I just don't like it and I don't understand why people do. I answered a question. I didn't tell people to not watch it.
Understandable. Thanks for replying.
Now... what are some of your favorite new sci-fi movies? =)
It's been more books recently.
We just did Snowcrash, which has parts that aged poorly, but over all was a fun read. That leads to the old movie Pontypool (Snowcrash is in a shot in that that's an obvious plant- both had similar themes). That lead to Pontypool Changes Everything a book that, try as I did, I could not get through. But the movie and BBC radio drama are both great.
We're doing Ubik by Philip K Dick right now, and I'm enjoying that a lot. I've read a fair bit of his stuff but missed this one. I tend to binge authors so I imagine I'll do a few more from him.
Late last year I did about everything from Scott Meyers. The Magic 2.0 books are deff for a younger audience but were fun in their own way.
I tried to do the Murderbot series recently, but it missed it's mark with me. I didn't not like them and I can see goung back to give them a second try maybe in the fall.
The Duck and Cover series was heavily thrown at me through ads so I gave that a go. It deff has its moments but I think there's underlying difference of opinion between me and the author. I have no proof of this, it's just kind of a feeling. Not bad books, funny and clever in spots.
John Scalzi and Dennis E. Taylor are two guys I get everything from as soon as something new drops.
And recently a buddy got me to watch Ravenous. An old cannibalistic, period piece in the Spanish American War era with a good dose of homoeroticisim thrown in. Deff highly recommend watching that.
Not op, but i dont care much for the show myself either. I used to, when it was new and something different, but I believe I have grown past the pseudointellectual, but actual college humor. It just hits different these days
I actually agree. I started losing interest in the show during season 5 (2021). But like how GoT seasons went, I don't write the show off as a loss because the last few seasons weren't strong hitters.
