Rick and Morty

It's rough. No idea what to actually say.
But it's ultimately up to you. If you're able to watch something that might have violent/death undertones, then you should watch it. If you're not able to, then you shouldn't. I'm sure the feeling of dread will lessen with time, but maybe this particular title will always strike too close to home based on what happened.

You'll know when you're ready.

Violence and death in general aren't necessarily triggers, it'll be more just thinking about him I guess, along with the way the show doesn't sugar coat shit. That being said, caught the end of Deer Hunter on TV not long ago, and the final Russian Roulette scene definitely took me to a dark place, just because my brother had been shot in the head, and the heightened emotions of that scene.

I know I will watch it, I'll do it because as Pharmakos stated, he'd want me to, I just know it's going to be a darker experience than it should be. My kid loves the show, it use to be one of the things she did with her Uncle, so I'm preemptively steeling myself against what that might stir up for her as well.

On the bigger picture level, I've dealt with my grief, I made my piece with death a long time ago, it usually doesn't get to me. The big thing with my brother is that he was only 19 and he was the last person that anyone who knew him would ever think someone would want to kill. He was a good person, whole life ahead of him, infinite potential cliche and all. The dude who did it killed himself, so we got robbed of justice, though I personally feel it's better this way, the other 3 brothers don't have to go to jail for the inevitable act of revenge. And all of it over a woman, of course, the age old bringer of war between men. I understand the events and motivations leading up to everything, but at the end of the day it doesn't do much to assuage the hollow pit in my stomach or the lump of rage in my chest, and it's the little things like this show that keep popping up, turning the knife so to speak.

Wubba lubba dub dub...

Damn bruh. Thats some deep shit, sorry about your brother.

My ex girls bro necked himself over a woman and that shit fucked her all up. She is still fucked up over it.

I get the same way when it comes to my mom and mothers in general (she passed away at 50 years old like 5 years ago). I have a very hard time watching mothers day videos, or videos with a guy seeing his mom for the first time in a while and hugging her, hearing about someone else's mother dying etc, It will never get better.

My first time seeing the initial pilot. Wow.

I want my 4:16 back but I'm glad that they got funded despite themselves.

Did you ever watch Dan Harmon's other pilot? This one didn't get picked up.



It does have some partial nudity and adult situations and is not to be regarded as safe for work.

I couldn't watch the great British baking show for about a year after my oma died. I'd gotten the entire run and we watched one a day.

The severity of the aversion fades. Now I like to remember a,little when I watch.

Oh! Oh, gee Rick! Oh god!

I just cannot fathom SEVENTY more episodes. I really want them to say outright that only 20 or so will be related to the "main plot" and the others can all just be fuck around one offs that can be watched in any order.

Don't worry you'll have time to see them. At the rate they pump these out it'll take 10 years for them to finish.

Nice! The alien guy is voiced by the director of Thor: Ragnarok (and the new one that hasn't been made yet).

Lab coat rip off Dr Strange...LOL

That looks fucking badass. I can't wait.

(only 5 episodes, wtf?!?)

The longest gap between episodes of the same season (excluding the early April Fools) was season 1 between Dec 16 and Jan 13. The 5 episodes is telling us they will have a holiday break and it'll come back in Spring or something.
