I personally have always loved audio commentaries, so it was fascinating to listen to them and get the behind the scenes on the animation and writing process. The special features are pretty good, with audio commentary on each episode (sometimes two commentaries) from directors, performers, and animators involved in the show.
#RICK AND MORTY EPISODE 2 SEASON 4 REVIEW CODE#
Looking at the Blu-ray, there is one disk and a digital HD download code included with the purchase featuring all 10 episodes. The character design of the aliens and other life forms are inventive and so much fun to watch.
The colors and fast pace of the adventures is great, and often each frame will have very complex backgrounds to marvel at. Each of the episodes of the show I’ve seen have been new, different, and even shocking in the storytelling, so I’ll put up with the Adult Swim part of it.Īs an animation fan the show is a joy to watch. This won’t be the case with everyone and I respect that. Normally I wouldn’t indulge in this type of entertainment, but the creativity in the episodes wins me over each time.
Speaking of offensive material, there’s lots to be had in Rick and Morty Season Two. These ‘friends’ take the shape of normal humans, like Jerry’s brother Uncle Steve, to Tinkles the Fairy Lamb, a Reverse Giraffe, and one that I would mention but I don’t want to offend anyone. One of my favorites is “Total Rickall,” in which alien parasites start manipulating human memories to convince them they are life long beloved friends. There’s a catastrophe in the galaxy that Rick and Morty must deal with, usually involving aliens or infestations of some kind. I won’t say any more, but each episode is kind of like that. This first episode then has the characters trying to reconcile both timelines and dealing with an alien being who is out to get them. And, oh yeah, what the hell am I talking about, saying there’s no character development? Jerry’s into beekeeping now.Going into season two, Rick, Morty, and sister Summer are in a time travel experience where the world is split into multiple realities. Plus, not for nothing, that scene where they drag that ship around decimating all glorzo civilization looked awesome. Still, the storytelling format was cool enough and the glorzo were a funny, tragic species to be introduced to. It’s fine not every episode has to give greater depth to Rick’s despair or Morty’s desperation, but it does smack of adding to the pile of Rick and Morty outings that’s just “more.” In fact, the moment they put on anime robot suits and started massacring glorzos (glorzians?), I had flashbacks to a similar massacre scene from season two’s “Look Who’s Purging Now.” “Promortyus” is one of those crazy Rick and Morty sci-fi adventures that deliberately resists character development, with Summer saying the non-moral out loud: “we suck and everyone sucks” and then it all ends on a poop joke. Rick’s constant dismissive quipping did get tiresome at times (I know that’s like his whole character, but sometimes the guy’s a little much) and, jeez, do they have to have a meta conversation about how they should just have fun and not try so hard like every episode? Wasn’t that like 75% of the dialogue in the previous episode already? Oh yeah and Summer’s toothpick is a hilarious plot device. Rick and Morty have some good banter between them Morty telling Rick “Hey man, that head’s a good place to be” is good, as is all the wet eggs discussion. Most of the laughs for me came from the glorzo aliens getting pissed off at Rick and Morty (“Oh shit, it’s them! The worst thing to ever happen to us!”). It’s a fairly funny episode, though a good bit of the humor depends on how much you appreciate being grossed out. Anyway, none of what we know about these three changes in “Promortyus.”
She’s still a pretty shallow character, despite having joined in on quite a few adventures by now. Rick is cynical and all-powerful Morty is pretty cynical now too and Summer is, uh, disaffected, I guess.
#RICK AND MORTY EPISODE 2 SEASON 4 REVIEW SERIES#
This is the burden the series continues to struggle with lately. I’m being flippant when I say I’d like them to just get back into fun sci-fi adventures because, really, I’d like them to get back to fun sci-fi adventures with some meaningful character development. It’s good there’s some character development for the glorzo aliens because there isn’t much for our main characters.
