Rick and Morty look just as surprised as I am that they made it to season 8.
This season is better than the last.
I started watching this because I needed a break from watching Love After Lockup.
The one thing I noticed about this season is that it doesn’t focus as much on how much of a Jerk Rick Sanchez is. You get more of the family being fleshed out and seeing what adventures that they are up to.
Overall, I didn’t end the season feeling that I had wasted my time on this. I’d be interested in another season if it was to have one, but I’m ok if this is the last one.
Overview
Rick and Morty are back for Season Eight! Life has meaning again! Anything is possible! Look out for adventures with Summer, Jerry, Beth, and the other Beth. Maybe Butter Bot will get a new task? Whatever happens, you can't keep Rick and Morty down for long. People have tried!
Wednesday has some sardonic words to share this season.
The first one was unexpected. There was a level of novelty mixed with the nostalgia for the Addams Family.
This one feels like the studio said the first one did great, just do it again but bigger!
The most telling thing about this was that when the family got together to watch it, everyone had their second screen for most of episode 3 and the first half of 4.
I feel that I grew tired of the characters. I grew tired of having two groups of people (normies and outcasts) hate each other because they’re different. Conflicts that could be avoided by taking 10 minutes to listen to each other. I grew tired of people thinking they know everything and they are the only ones who can do anything. Probably the most realistic thing about the show.
The most glaring thing about the show was pointed out by my daughter when I asked her about it. I’m paraphrasing it below.
The problem is that this isn’t the Addams Family. The appeal of the Addams was that they were different. The outside world didn’t always understand or like them, but they had each other’s back.
Now, I know Wednesday means well, but having almost every interaction be antagonistic gets old.
Overview
Wednesday goes back to Nevermore, and -just like the boy who lived- she's got a mystery to solve! She'll use anything to solve this one: Fans, Friends, and Family; because ONLY SHE can stop a troubling vision of causing destruction.
Oh, and apparently, no matter where you send your children the teaching staff will be questionable.
At this point, I’m watching it because my family is watching it and I’m enjoying the cameos.
You have to start off with the radio version of this song. I think I'm used to listening to other cuss words such as The B-Word, The N-Word, and The F-Word, but The R-Word just takes me out of the groove.
I remember it being used as an insult when I was one the playground in primary school, no one used the others. And then people just stopped, we knew why it was unacceptable.
Thank you "Something about Mary".
Anyway, I think Fergie yelling about how we need to get started followed by the beat coming in is a great signal that the party (or at least the party music) has started.
This is my favorite song by Ricky Martin or Christina Aguilera. There is desire and heart ache in the lyrics and I find myself singing along.
I think Christina does a great job of restraining herself from using that big beautiful voice of hers. Her voice comes in and starts building up just like the emotions of the song.
