after St. Louis police unions instructed officers to publicly display The Punisher’s insignia (the mark of a lawless, fascist murderer) the comic book community was quick to point out the stupidity, and the frankly horrifying message sent by supposed peace officers endorsing a maniac. So it’s a good thing The Punisher personally confirms he hates cops who see him as a friend… making every cop who “wears his mark” or calls themselves a “fan” look like shameful fool in the process.

Rick & Morty this season really turned a corner with how they interpret Rick and how truly lonely/shitty his life can be because of his very serious personality flaws. Big fan of what they’re doing. Lots of self reflection on the show, more nuanced debates about rick and morty’s (toxic) relationship somehow despite how often it’s brought up, strong mirrors back on the audience. It’s strong stuff
Might have to give em another shot but i would need a strong episode to convince me after feeling let down by the writing. Do you have a favorite?
What episode(s) or elements left you feeling let down? Just getting context.
Hmm… I got a feeling that the jokes were trending towards easier/cheap shock type. Hard to explain. Felt a bit of flanderization, like the writers were spinning their wheels. In the best way i can sum up a feeling so nebulous, i think maybe talking about the pickle rick episode is probably the best way i can describe what I’m feeling.
Most of pickle rick was just mouse gore and stuff but i loved the expansion on rick and daughters nasty relationship. Loved his reaction to the Doc. (Perhaps the subtext of the gore was all the hoops rick jumps thru rather than dealing with emotion, but it wasn’t a joy to watch) i … dunno… it doesn’t feel natural like it used to? Doesn’t seem like they’re (the writers) having any fun
One ep i liked, morty’s memories or whatever. No notes. Great episode.
Ah, i quit after season 4
