Rick and Morty returns this weekend with a season four premiere that openly addresses its fanbase and its role in the culture war. Read our review.
was fully sucked into the culture war, making it impossible to simply discuss its comic or storytelling merits, or to dig any deeper than that without acknowledging that culture war.
Not to downplay the biggest problem with those anti-woman fans—which, of course, is that they’re clueless, misogynist assholes who basically want to ruin society as we know it—but their complaints were especially foolish becausehas always criticized, both explicitly and implicitly, the kind of arrogance, contempt and lack of empathy that defines them.
This weekend’s season four premiere is the first new episode since the fan problem truly blew up during season three. It addresses the topic directly and unmistakably, with a fascist Morty holding Rick hostage and demanding he stop being political and focus on “fun” and “classic” adventures. The show doesn’t hide its hostility to far right internet trolls, or its contempt for fans who just want to see the same stories and jokes repeated in new episodes.
This isn’t the main thrust of the episode, though. It’s the B-plot, and I won’t spoil the main storyline here. Let’s just say it introduces another mind-bending sci-fi concept to a show already overstuffed with them, while also heavily referencing a pretty well-known anime movie. It takes one character to the edge of oblivion, and then spins it out into a pivotal moment in some of the show’s central relationships.
