Ive Been Saying This Since I Watched The Show For The First Time. I Love Each Of Their Characters, Just

never forget the time rick sanchez hyperfixated on voltron

I JUST FUCKING REALIZED IF RICK DECIDED TO STARTS USING THE ROBOT IN THE LAST EPISODE, THEN THAT MEANS THAT HE STILL WILLINGLY WENT TO THERAPY IN ANALYSE PISS

goddd. i love summer so much i love her voice i truly envy spencer grammers cute af voice. anyways summer is like the funniest fucking character in the show to me… later chodes and lets lick tits (i know rick said that first but like. its so cute they all steal phrases from each other) are my favorites. i was like, not as sarcastic and quick witted as she is when i was 17 but shes the most relatable character of all to me. she has to be a leo or something (i wish creators were bigger on canon birthdays it’s just fun to have that info) whats your fav sum sum moment :3 :3 :3

“you can help me if you want” crying screaming throwing up

he really has grown like. fuck!!

excluding morty from the prime rick search wasn’t even necessarily cruel, he just wanted morty to be happy and i think he knew that his revenge quest was never going to make him happy. he was so clearly depressed like - is it that unreasonable for him to just want to give morty a good grandpa? of course tricking and lying to him isn’t great but i think his intentions were as pure as he could have

“it’s the most painful shit that i’ve ever had to deal with and i’m fucking bringing you into it! because you asked for it, morty”

god. he is really having a rough time

if the math im doing is correct, rick sanchez is in his 50's.

with what was said in the show summer is 17 and beth had her at 17, meaning beth is 34. from what we see in rick's backstory, him and diane look like their in their 20s, meaning rick is most likely 56 (beth is toddler age in the flashback and since she's walking i can guess she's around 2). so my final conclution is morty is 14, summer is 17, jerry is in the range of 33-35, beth is 34, and rick is somewhere in his 50s.

rnm episode but its a parody of "the bachelor" and its curtis bp mr nimbus, etc goin after rick and in the end it turns into like a gladiator arena death match or some shit

David Jenkins was not a Big Name Showrunner before OFMD. In fact, I had never heard of him before. I am not even sure what he did before OFMD, according to IMDB he wrote exactly one other show and it is one I have never even heard of before.

And he somehow got HBO to make his weird little show about gay pirates, and he got Taika Waititi to help with it, and while nobody was expecting anything of it - I mean come on guys, remember when OFMD dropped and everyone only gradually realised what it was - it became The Little Show That Could. With almost no advertising. No marketing. HBO did clearly did not expect this show to be anything, to make any real money or to go beyond one season.

But then it blew up.

Because David Jenkins was so insightful, he was so good, he brought so much fresh wind into a business where we usually can tell how the next three steps of how any show is going to go (and to be fair, a lot of us feared that Izzy's death in season 2 was coming, because all the signs fit), that we put him on a pedestal.

THE FUCKING PEDESTAL.

Yes he is brilliant. He has done stuff with OFMD that you never ever see somewhere else. He has understood that historical accuracy, as well as physics and geography, are merely backdrop for plot and characters. Completely irrelevant if you need them to be, but then suddenly important if you have a bit of story that won't work without. He understood that queer relationships deserve to be told, and when confronted with skeptic fans he learned about queerbaiting.

He took a lot of tropes and put them on their head. He structured his show like fanfic. He put thought into his stories instead of following the beaten track. He single-handedly raised the bar for every showrunner out there.

But it is still only his second show.

If he didn't shine so brightly during OFMD's first season, nobody would have expected so much of him.

And yes. He dropped the ball on Izzy.

I loved Izzy to pieces ever since season 1, I wanted to pin him to a board like a bug and study him and take him apart and put him in a blender and in situations, I loved to hate him and in season 2 I loved to love him. He is such a brilliant, complex character, so well written and so well played by Con O'Neill; the options for character analysis, relationship analysis, various interpretations of everything he has done, are simply limitless. 🤯 That is due to David Jenkins & Con O'Neill.

And David Jenkins, standing in the spotlight of all of our exaggerated expectations, decided it would have the greatest emotional impact if he killed him. He made him a symbol, for the end of The Golden Age of Piracy™, and he killed him.

He was right.

He was not original.

He fell for one of the very tropes he so successfully fought in season 1, and for the most part of season 2.

Procuring an emotional response by having a beloved character, who was just starting to embark on an exciting new journey, die tragically and emotionally, providing motivation for the remaining characters.

It was a cheap move.

It is not a Bury Your Gays. Everyone is queer on this show, you can't call something a Bury Your Gays if that would be true for every character death.

But Izzy was also old, and disabled, and he had survived a suicide attempt (that he was driven into, not chose for himself), and had just had an arc of growth and character development that could have gone on for such a long time after this. He had just learned to trust and be vulnerable and experience (gender)queer joy. God, there were so many places his character could have gone.

I loved Izzy as a character, I didn't relate much to him. But Your Mileage May Vary, and I am so, so sorry for everyone who did. You didn't deserve this.

But David Jenkins? Is still sooo much better than any generic bland showrunner that is going places in Hollywood. You want to boycott anything, boycott the big streaming services that don't have the guts to make their main characters queer, to think that "a bit of both" is inclusive or bold, and who drive out any creatives that object and try to sneak in inclusiveness. They are the enemy. They are systemic discrimination and injustice.

David Jenkins is just starting out. And he did so much better on his very first successful show than anyone who has been in the business for years. If anyone deserves a chance to prove that he can do better, it's him.

I'm sure he'll come to regret his decision. I'm sure he'll see where he went wrong, how he could have done better, and fix it in any show he might do after this. I, for one, would much rather see any show he is involved in than most of the crap that the AMPTP is putting out, now or in the future. He can only get better. And he did do a lot of things right. Never forget that. Because the majority of showrunners can't even do the minimum, and David Jenkins went above and beyond.

I think he deserves a little slack. If anyone in the streaming industry does, it's him.

It's the fucking pedestal that is the problem. It makes people who do good but are not perfect suddenly look worse than the most cowardice, opportunistic mediocre guy. But they are not and they deserve a leg up, or we are stuck with the worse option who gets support from all the wrong places. Don't fall for it.

My favorite character of Adventure Time: Marceline the Vampire Queen

honestly same. their ending had such an impact and was such a fitting ending for them both. it would be such a terrible choice for the writers to undo it.

This is going to make me sound like such an asshole but I really hope Simon and Betty don't like magically reunite or something. The ending of the show made it plain to me at least that Betty CANNOT be back, she's literally on a different plane of existence and perception at this point. She's a chaos god. She's probably not even really Betty anymore, but some unholy combo of herself and Golb. The ending to Simon and Betty's relationship in the original show had flaws, but I think if their going to expand on Simon as a character, it would be redundant to just... Have Betty be magically summoned back and then happily ever after. It would be underwhelming. I think it would be best if they stayed focused on Simon overcoming his grief and trauma, or at least learning how to deal with it as a start.

i can neither confirm or deny this
