The Curicksous Case of Bethjamin Button

Like most of the episodes this season I feel like this one sort of lacked any of the heart previous seasons of Rick and Morty had. The Earth World b-plot was a funny concept but I just didn't feel it honestly. I did however like Mr. Dogballs. (I like anything Danny Devito lol)

BUT the thing that really made me like this episode was the main plot focusing on Rick and Beth(s) relationship. Though I just feel like the b-plot should've been cut shorter to give more time to this one because it needed some more focus, but regardless it was nice seeing some good character development.

Solid 7.5/10.

Seriously, what? Who writes this stuff? Is this supposed to be fun or cool or what? Rick & Morty always had a level of violence but things are different now. Things just feel off. It's a cheapened version of what it used to be. I get more disappointed with each episode. Hoping for better to come. But it's clear that won't happen, and we're not getting back what we used to have. Every week is just a let-down and I get less and less excited or interested in the show. I don't even watch it anymore, I just play it while I do something else. R&M used to captivate my attention, now it's mostly background stuff.

Rick and Morty has lost its spark without Justin Roiland. His iconic voice acting for Rick and Morty was pitch-perfect, infusing every line with chaotic energy and wit that defined the show's charm. Beyond vocals, Roiland's creative input shaped the wild, inventive plots that hooked fans. The new voices feel flat, lacking the manic brilliance he brought. Storylines now feel formulaic, missing his unpredictable genius. The show's soul is gone, replaced by a hollow imitation. Fans deserve better than this sanitized version. Bring back Roiland's magic! Bring him back and fix this train wreck of a show.

Was simply amazing. Everything that i like about Rick and Morty is here. It took 5 bad episodes (some basically unwatchable) to get it but it's finally here. It appears that just like season 7 which had mediocre episodes and occasional masterpieces like the Prime Rick finale and the Hole episodes, which are pure gold, season 8 will also be inferior but as long as they keep bringing episodes like this one i'm in. So Rick and Morty is not dead. Voices are inferior, show is inferior but great episodes are still happening.

Hopefully the rest of the season maintains the wuality this episode brought to the table again.

I'm used to Rick and Morty delivering a few bangers every season sprouted with a couple mediocre episodes here are there. This episode wasn't half bad it was good but not great. The whole Beth was a animal murderer and sadist as a kid was quickly overlooked as a gag; when I'm not sure you can use something that gruesome as a gag? The whole HumanWorld plot twist was done a million times over by the show's creators I'm not impressed. Hopefully the elite writers took over for episodes 7-10 because apart from episode 1 the rest of the season has been pretty medicore. The Father daughter sentiment was quite nice at the end of the episode but the whole two Beths thing still urks me. Pretending this weird ass Space Beth is normal cog of the show is peculiar to me. I liked the show better when they were separate and not together like before season 7.
