7/11/2023 0 Comments A long way home rick and mortyThe mafia genre allows for a neat and familiar structure for the episode that gets the Rick and Morty treatment-a highlight of the episode is undoubtedly the meeting of all the Ricks (all designed to emulate classic movie mob bosses). The lyrics of the (very catchy) parody song that plays over the montage acknowledge the eclectic style of the episode: “pasta with some anime combined, ‘cause they’re two genres but each one is intertwined”. Weirdly, Voltron and The Godfather are at least united by the idea of family and teamwork. Dan Harmon is apt to combine two genres in one episode in fact he did it earlier this season in ‘ Amortycan Grickfitti’. When the adventure is over, the second main aspect of the episode really kicks into gear-the mafia movie homage. ![]() There are infinite universes where I still don’t have all five Ferrets. It’s very nerdy (and a little camp) and only the tip of the iceberg where this episode is concerned. Rick, meanwhile, is in his element-he delights in meta-managing the boss battle, and seems like he is living out a childhood dream. However after a colourful and wonderfully animated Gotron montage, Beth admits that it “isn’t not fun”. Summer insists it is important for the family to choose to work together no matter what, even as Beth reminds her of the possible giant baby-shaped consequences (‘ Rickdependence Spray’-hooray for continuity). Moreover, the telepathic sparring continues to be funny right until its pay-off at the end of the episode.Īfter the titles, Rick, Summer, and Morty return in full Voltron cosplay to rope Beth and Jerry into a monster-slaying adventure. Summer seems to have been given much more agency in Season 5 than in previous seasons (especially with the ongoing theme of family) so it’s fitting that the writers are literally giving her a voice here. The cold open also introduces a brilliant meta gag that will continue throughout the episode-Summer and Morty’s individual voiceovers competing with each other. These Ferrets are parodies of the Voltron Lions, and also double as a parody of rare merchandise. Rick emulates real life fanatic toy collectors (of which Justin Roiland himself is one) when he derails a long-anticipated trip to Boob World in order to collect a blue Gotron Ferret. ![]() The episode gets off to an excellent start in the cold open. But lovers of high concept genre fiction (as lovers of Harmon must surely be) will be delighted by the indulgent use of cliche. ‘Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion’ is not a joke-per-line kind of episode, finding comedy in the absurd concepts rather than the dialogue-for this reason it may not appeal to every fan’s taste. It feels like the show is back on its A game after a mediocre spell that marked the middle section of Season 5. Looks like the moment found me.Īgain, thank you all for your support, stay awesome!ĥ5 unique CG’s, 5 animations, 6 new backgrounds, 2 new models, 2 updated models.Rick and Morty S5E7 is a fast-paced riot that rattles through genres and homages like there’s no tomorrow. I’ve been wanting to make the change for a while but I just couldn’t find the right moment. Starting this patch, I’ll start posting all future patches at the start of the month instead of at the end. ![]() The issue I had with the animations at the end was a huge bummer and really delayed the release, but I manage to remake all the animations in my personal record time and release the patch 3 days earlier than I was originally expecting. The patch is focused mostly on Summer and Tricia, I’ve been wanting to work on their relationship for a while now since Tricia is a very important character for Summer’s main route.īeth’s route is continued from where I left of last patch, so her story is also steadily progressing. ![]() 2 brand new models (one of which is top secret and I’ll probably introduce later this month or during next patch.) 98 Unique CGs (I can’t believe I actually got this many done.)
