Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie

There is one main rule that all rick and morty episodes have always followed, that it should include both rick, and morty. This episodes fails to follow that formula that every other good rick and morty episode follows.

Instead it's another sidequest episode following another throwaway character that doesn't deserve it's own episode. It feels like I'm watching a victory lap of an older much better episode.

Instead we're left with an episode full of lame number and letter puns, one-dimentional boring characters, way too much flashbacks, and characters explaining what's happening, rather than showing it.

I'm glad we're seeing more of morty, but the writers seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding about what makes rick and morty enjoyable.

I can't believe how bad and dumb this episode is. The only mediocre part was the rap which at least had a few funny lyrics. The rest of the episode was so uncreative in so many ways. Just dumb and pointless. Really the direction I was hoping this show would never go, where episodes just become "zany" and masturbatory with no interesting or redeeming qualities. They seriously need to revisit who is in the writers room coming up with this stuff. The story line was super boring. The events are completely forgettable. This show used to tickle your brain, and be interesting and fresh. It still is sometimes. But this episode is not. There is so much potential for unique and interesting aliens in this show, and instead everything has become "humans except that they're (insert object here)!" in a bland marvel plot which is not funny, interesting, or creative. Throw in a bunch of puns and you're done I guess. Embarrassing that they wasted an episode with Ice T on this, and a big let down for someone who looks forward to new episodes every week. I really can't believe that the people who brought us some of the most thought provoking and funny TV ever OKed this bag of trash.

Honestly the title says it all, yes you can have a good cast but if the writing is terrible it's all downhill from there.

I mean did we need this episode no! It felt really forced like the writers just went well we completed Rick's arc let's just chuck a load of random things together, the writers have completely lost it if even this episode was written by people.

Next was the pacing it was all too quick there was no down time events just happened and then were forgotten or just skipped over, this whole episodes downfall was dialogue it felt like it both didn't have enough and also had too much, like the numbers jokes it felt like if they just chuck one in every minute AND DIDN'T STOP like seriously you can put in a couple but after the hundredth one just stop.

This was the least interesting rick and morty episode ever, I'm an optimistic person and even I struggled to find something to laugh at in this episode, I groaned at most of the cheesy jokes, AND I LOVE CHEESY JOKES, like they weren't that funny and they just dragged onnnnn!!! I hate that decimal point so much!!! So much of that character's line felt like it was meant to just drag and prolong the episode, it was also the most predictable episode ever, I mean you guys can be cheesy with your humor without being predictable, just look at "Get Schwifty", I'm sorry but after the lackluster Kuato episode following it up with a worse episode, this episode just frustrates me man, and I'm not even a critic.

This episode was none of the above, I disliked this enough to dust off my IMDB account after years to come here to talk about how much I disliked it !

Sins this episode commits for no reason ..

lack of rick, I think it can make sense in a story way "rick has been captured so this episode has no rick" but even in the old format we would have a cut away B plot to captured or holiday rick! Or whatever, no, not every episode has to have a B plot but there is no reason for no rick here in a show called rick and morty?

Bringing back pointless characters, there are loads of characters they could have visited that would be more interesting than Ice-T which was an unfunny pun at best that didn't really deserve anymore screen time, we could have had a Gearhead, bird-person, Zeep Xanflorp or even Jerry headrick episode? Instead we are stuck watching this, because characters with unfunny pun names that are made out of letters " lol " I guess?

The story is pointless and boring, and no a story dosn't always have to go somewhere or be part of a bigger arc but it at least has to be interesting, I just can't explain how uninvested I was in the letter people, their entire race could have been wiped out and I would not have cared.

Some episodes have you glued to your seat, feel like they end way too soon, this one had me checking the clock, I saw someone saying it this could have been written by AI but I think AI would probably write better than this.

This one was called in and I really hope they don't do more like it.
