Dan Harmon, Justin Roiland, and their writing staff pure geniuses, or just plain evil?
For those of you who have not seen Rick and Morty I recomm The end people watch it, but viewer discretion is advised. The humour is so crude and foul, but the writing is amazing. You cannot find another show that comes close to it's uniqueness. The attention to detail is so amazing that rewatching episodes is almost a must. However, the writers pulled off one of the greatest, if not the greatest, pranks in TV show history. It puts them on the boarder of being pure evil. So evil that I never want to watch the show again, yet I'm begging for more.
Spoiler alert!
At the end of season 2 we have Rick in a high security prison, and Mr. Poopybutthole telling us that it will 1 year and a half until season 3 comes out. The suspense was horrible, but we all understood that it takes time to come out with quality. I personally would much rather wait for quality to come out, than for them to rush the storyline. It was hard enough to wait, but to wait with no official date. Was Mr. Poopybutthole giving us a legit timeline? Was he just saying random nonsense? How was Rick going to get out of prison?
So a year and half go by. The writers say absolutely nothing. Everything is hush, hush. Will season 3 actually come out? It actually did! It just came out of blue with no warning on April 1st. It was a great prank, because no one could actually believe it was out. Was this a joke, or was this legit? Turns out it was legit! I ending up watching it on the 3rd of April.
Man the start of season 3 was amazing. The writing and the details... I had to watch it more then once. Boy was that a great joke. I didn't watch it on release date, but that's okay. The awesomeness of the show made it up. I can't wait till episode 2... Wait... When is episode 2? Oh no don't tell me...
It's May 26th, 2017 as I write this, and still no episode 2. I don't know if this is the most horrible, or best prank I've ever experienced.
