Rick and Morty is a sitcom that began its existence back in 2013 In the center of the plot is a schoolboy named Morty and his grandfather Rick. Morty is a very ordinary boy who is no different from his peers. But his grandfather is engaged in unusual scientific research and is often completely inadequate. He can grab his grandson at any time of the day or night and go on crazy adventures with him with the help of a flying saucer built of various junk, which is able to move through an interdimensional tunnel. Every time this couple finds themselves in the most unexpected places and in the most ridiculous situations. https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Rickipedia
The series is dedicated to the misadventures of the cynical mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his naive, capricious and insecure grandson Morty; the creator of the series Royland voices both characters.
The series, which grew out of a hooligan animated parody of the "Back to the Future" franchise, received extremely high reviews from critics, who particularly noted its originality, creativity and sense of humor.
What is the essence of the appearance of "Rick and Morty"? Harmon describes it as "Justin Roiland's outburst with a touch of punk rock." And indeed, upon first acquaintance, the animated series gives the impression of a crazy version of "Back to the Future" devoid of any restraining factors. The main characters are a mad alcoholic scientist Rick Sanchez and his grandson, mumbling Morty, who, between their wild adventures in parallel universes, sort out relations with their relatives. With such a degree of madness from the very first series, the show not only surpassed the official animated series based on "Back to the Future", but also most of the other animation currently on TV.
the creators of the animated series adopted another principle of the first part of "Back to the Future": "Marty McFly is the perfect protagonist. He does not learn anything, he has no conscious aspirations or desires. He is that fearless hero who rushes into the attack and spoils everything, and also does not learn any lesson for himself — and does not change much by the end. That is, the character has no development, which, according to Robert McKee and other teachers of writing, should not delight the audience, but the audience is delighted!" explains Harmon.
Exactly the same can be said about Rick Sanchez. For two seasons, the showrunners have led us to the fact that for all the scientist's outward disregard for the family, he actually loves his relatives (and even sacrifices himself for them). However, at the beginning of the third season, Harmon and Royland rolled back the situation when it turned out that Rick lives not for the sake of his loved ones, but for the sake of Sichuan sauce from McDonald's, which they stopped producing in 1998. Are the authors mocking us? Definitely.
This is due to the fact that, like "Back to the Future", "Rick and Morty" violates as many rules as it should — and when the rules of the game are constantly changing, it becomes even more interesting to watch the series, because you never know what its authors will throw out next time.https://www.adultswim.com/videos/rick-and-morty
story of rick and morty
Is an American comedy science fiction animated series created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon and produced as part of the Adult Swim block on Cartoon Network. The series premiered in December 2013
The creators of the cartoon, Justin Royland and Dan Harmon, met in Los Angeles at the monthly non-profit short film festival Channel 101, of which Harmon was one of the founders. The participants of this festival offered pilot versions of their short works to the audience, after which the audience chose those of them that, in their opinion, are worthy of being released as TV series. A year after the foundation of the festival, in 2004, Royland began to send his works to it. Royland's pilots, which Harmon described as "sick and gone," caused mixed reactions from the audience, but nevertheless, Harmon liked such humor, and they began to cooperate.https://www.slashfilm.com/996489/how-justin-roiland-and-dan-harmon-each-approach-rick-and-morty-differently/
