Rick and Morty picks apart the world around you. BoJack Horseman picks apart the life you've built both socially and personally. Adult cartoons like f#%&ing up your head somethin' fierce.

Good cartoons always like to deal with complex human emotions. Adult ones are just generally better suited to tackle nihilistic questions, while people prefer convincing their kids that life has meaning. Eh, it's all perspective. Hmm, y'know, that sounds like a challenge worth thinking about: A family friendly cartoon with a nihilistic message about humanity.

That's dumb. Your physical size is not an indicator of your overall importance, which is itself kind of a useless concept. I feel like Rick and Morty put it pretty well, in a way. Sentiments don't matter. Philosophy doesn't matter. Most of the universe is light-years away and doesn't matter. What matters is what we can touch. What matters is money, and power, and how you use it to make the world better in whatever way you see fit. You want to be more important? Find something that matters. Make money. Leverage it.

imo its obvious that Rick's entire motivation for why he does what he does is to protect his family, while simultaneously pretending he doesn't care about any of them as to not look vulnerable, which in a way, is also to protect his family. If all his enemies figured out that he actually did care about his family (therefore making him vulnerable), then they have an easy way into Rick's head. So, he has to keep up the facade that he doesn't give a single fuck about anything, and that's why he's the "rickest rick of them all". He's the only rick that actually has the capacity to give a fuck while pretending he doesn't and he uses it to his advantage.

@fortsechs Жыл бұрын

This stockholm syndrome of an interpretation really shows how twisted one´s logic and how big one´s blind spot can become when you want to keep identifying with a highly ambivalent, despicable figure like Rick. From the first few episodes on, it should be totally clear that his no. 1 motivation is to be no.1, the smartest, the most powerful, master of the universe, for the sake of it. On numerous occasions it´s clear that he doesn´t care for the safety or sanity of his family (or for any good in the universe), in fact he´s harming & endangering their lives (especially Morty´s) on a daily basis, often using them like (replaceable/ reproducable) tools to increase his senseless, quasi godlike power. The few moments when he shows real (not the usual faked) empathy or even willingness to sacrifice his life for Morty only show that he´s just an _almost_ absolute asshole / they imply he´s actually a bipolar personality and has his "weak moments of truth". To me it´s quite clear that "Rick & Morty" masterfully demonstrates the consequences of isolating power, the principle of narcissism (and "bad science"). Since capitalism is essentially based on that principle, and most participants deny that fact as long as it serves them, that also explains why so many people oversee/ apologise Rick´s actual character.

This is why I love this show so much. It shows that our existence is basically meaningless but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it while it lasts. If everything's meaningless you can do anything you please, because nothing you do will have a lasting impact. Whether it's because there's an infinite amount or realities or because the passage of what we call time will eventually wash away everything that we've done. Or at least that's the message I like to take from it. Criminals are only criminals because they're doing things that are *virtually* not allowed. Nothing isn't allowed, you can do anything, you'll just have to find a way to deal with what happens afterwards. But the universe doesn't care if some human killed another. We're just arrangements of particles that form a living being and will eventually become something else once the living being that we are dies. In the end what truly matters is what matters to you personally, because it's what gives flavor to your life, your experience. That and all the pleasures and pains that come with it. And even then it doesn't truly matter but hey at least you had a blast while you lived your inconsequential existence, so who cares that it doesn't matter anyways? See how paradoxical that is? Even meaninglessness itself is meaningless, how insane is that? It's actually completely sane, but I'm gonna stop right here because I don't feel like going on writing. Enjoy your lives people!

In reality, we are neither of them, because this show is fictional. Although it does express the beliefs and the philosophical convictions of the creators, it has no bearing on reality. At the end of the day, the philosophical conclusions made in this show are no different in value than any other philosophical schools of thought. They are just BELIEFS. Not facts. I love this show, but sometimes its fans just blindly accept all of the philosophical claims made in the show as reality... but this is not necessarily the case. You dont have to be either Rick or Jerry. There are other alternatives in reality.

Ricks purpose is to entertain us that's what makes him tick, he is inside our micro-verse and if he cannot die because he is the main character, that's why he doesn't give a fuck. The only thing that keeps him going is the fear of being cancelled and that is why he has shit catch phrases and acknowledge the audience saying "see ya next week". His universe will not exist unless he entertains us and he realises that this is the sole purpose of his universe.

"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide" my favorite Camus quote

@NU-ph1zx 7 жыл бұрын

I really like the concept of the Ex-suicide created by walker Percy. The ex-suicide is a person that realized they had no reason to commit suicide because they had ultimate control of their life because they had the choice to commit suicide, but didn't. “The difference between a non-suicide and an ex-suicide leaving the house for work, at eight o'clock on an ordinary morning: The non-suicide is a little traveling suck of care, sucking care with him from the past and being sucked toward care in the future. His breath is high in his chest. The ex-suicide opens his front door, sits down on the steps, and laughs. Since he has the option of being dead, he has nothing to lose by being alive. It is good to be alive. He goes to work because he doesn't have to.”

@obermegalutschoar 7 жыл бұрын

Not saying there isn't merit in this thought, but it sounds like Percy doesn't know how abjectly painful living can be.

obermegalutschoar I guess you're right, I don't know if you could convince yourself of this argument if you are going through clinical depression or out of your mind in someway. I would suggest reading the Moviegoer and Lost in the Cosmos by Percy. They are great reads and they gave me a different perspective on life, though I will admit the ex-suicide or any of his other ideas are not the solution for everyone or every situation.

Rick is an Existentialist. Morty is a Utilitarian. This is best shown when Morty kills Fart. When Morty learns that Fart will kill all life in the universe he kills him. He did the math and decided that if Fart dies then the universe of gaseous beings and carbon based life forms will not harm one another. Ironically it's that same utilitarian arithmetic that led Morty to first kill Krombopulous Michael. People seem to forget that. Morty starts the episode as a killer and ends it as a killer. You may point to this adventure as Morty's biggest character development. I say it's the most character affirming episode for Morty's utilitarianism.

Nihilists embrace nothingness. Existentialists embrace freedom, expression and absurdity. Rick clearly believes that everything will balance out to nothing in the end but in the meantime he is defiant, absurdist and free.

@johngard15 7 жыл бұрын

Morty is less Utilitarian in the Purge episode, instead evoking classic morality (save the girl, stop the evil-doers). That being said I think that episode is deliberately confused: Morty acts far out of character (purgenol or otherwise) while offering direct commentary on how his character is static. Overall I think the writers are just trying to point out the extreme tension in Morty: because Rick isn't 'wrong' in embracing the absurd, Morty constantly is torn between a more "normal" non-nihilistic frame of mind and the meaninglessness of all his adventures.

bforce909 Theorizing about morty's is pretty fun; I think the show only works if we're following "our" Morty (otherwise it devolves into infinite realities and prevents us from emotionally investing in the fate of one set of Rick & Morty; I could be mistaken though). A better question is this: Is the show's Bird Person "Our Rick's Bird Person?" If no, why would Rick care so much about a single Bird Person's death? If yes, how can that be reconciled with the Cronenburg event of Rick Potion #9? I've thought of a couple answers that work, but none that are super satisfying or logically consistent.

To people still addicted to the illusion of meaning, this seems like giving up. But removing the expectation for meaning that's not there frees us to be content with our own existence.

I like to think of it in levels, there is a certain level of intelligence you reach in which you find bliss cause in the end you realize there is no point of anything you are responsible for yourself and since there is no point of our existence, we can create and craft our life in the way we want. Life is whatever meaning we give to it. Since in the end it doesn't matter, isn't it better to have good time for the amount of time we are her cuz we can never be sure what happens after death even if your religion says there will be heaven and hell, we can never be sure

Ragnarok Azor That it did for me as well. In my lack of universal knowledge, I, at least for myself, can't come to agree on the idea of life's meaninglessness. I feel like the breaking of everything down into mundane pointless things is detrimental to living. like for sure what we call love is caused by chemicals in your body reacting in a certain way, I find that that is ONLY the scientific part of it, and that there is much more to the Universe than just that which is scientific evidence. I will say I can't help but admit the plausibility of a meaningless universe, but it just seems a bit of a projected definition. The failures of individual humans to find meaning. They can't reconcile many questions, and conclude by projecting their experience onto all of existence, and all people. I find such a world view a bit to easy to settle on. like a cop out. I know many people who have found meaning to life, and I admire that.

Jerry is just a representation of our own complacency in life. He gets dragged on amazing adventures, has multiple opportunities to explore the universe and life, and yet he can't see past his nose. What's worse is his weird and infuriating narcissistic obsession with himself and his wish for everything to be simple and easy to understand. When shit happens he just goes with it, partially because he's an unwilling player and partially because he's too stupid, scared, or lazy to do anything about it. Instead he finds solace in absurdly pointless things just to keep himself busy. And in a way, we are Jerry. We get used to shit happening in our lives all the time, and even when we understand the consequences we're too lazy to change anything, even though the changes would benefit us greatly. We are indeed Jerry.

Is Rick God? Is he the Devil? The why's and how's can mean the world to you. Or not. The whole premisse imo is about deconstruction (not making you suicidal). It breaks everything you call thought and makes you analize it like you never truly did. Not a bad thing to do

This show's philosophy seems to forget that everything in this Universe is relative. Relatively to the Universe itself, humanity is pointless and is just a speck of dust, but relatively to our own world and to the other people, humanity is highly significant. Humans forever changed the world, and they constantly change each other's lives, so if they don't influence the Universe as a whole doesn't make their existence any less significant. Humans are meant to influence themselves and the world they live in.

@ornu01 7 жыл бұрын

Swiggity Swooty If you don't mind my commenting, I think that the biggest struggle in the show is the attempt to come to terms with both of those things. I think that Rick symbolizes that the best because intellectually he knows that everything is meaningless, while his deeply repressed feelings still cling to the belief that at least his family and friends matter. Him trying to come to terms with objective and subjective reality seem to screw him over quite a bit.

The problem isn't nihilism being depressing or self-defeating which most people would call it. The problem is that human beings are so fuckin deluded with their self-importance to the point where they gotta make themselves feel like this vast universe is created specifically for them and no one else. Yet, we human beings will all suffer and die just like all the other 'insignificant' living things that have existed in this universe. Hence, human being need to believe that life has a meaning, a purpose eventhough every fuckin single day, they clearly observe non-human species being fully capable of living in their meaningless lives. It's not nihilism that's responsible for your depression, it's your ego.
