so I’m both a fan of Bojack Horseman and Rick and Morty so when I critique the fandoms it’s coming from someone who enjoys both of those shows but
the problem with a lot of the fanbase (Rick and Morty being especially bad about this, because Rick’s ability to perform escapism is due to his intelligence rather than his money, and the Rick and Morty fanbase is just bigger and less self-aware) is that they mistake the characters for heroes instead of antiheroes
both Bojack and Rick know what the right thing to do is, and occasionally they do it, but for the most part they avoid doing so because the right thing involves introspection and effort, which is difficult and requires strength of character – you’re not supposed to admire them for this
both of those shows are supposed to be tragic, but in the case of Rick and Morty the fanbase saw a societally unattractive, socially inept man make a few clever quips and construct a full body mecha out of the plundered remains of rat carcasses and are like “I want to be that guy, I want to be smart, the reason why Rick is in pain is because he’s smart and people ~don’t understand us him~” instead of realizing that Rick is in pain because he’s fucking depressed and his chaos is his way from escaping reality and not something to be emulated
I mean they literally explained this shit in that therapy scene its in the goddamn show yall
they got too wrapped up in the pickle rick excitement to pay attention to something coming out of the mouth of a character that isn’t a man
A CROW TRIED TO GO IN OUR CLASSROOM AND HE HAD A PEN
yes hello i am here to learn geometries
That crow is more prepared than some of my students.
You’ve all just like, completely skipped over the possibility that this crow has seen people using pens in this room, found one, and is trying to return it. There’s been videos of crows picking up sweet wrappers and stuff and placing them in bins after seeing humans put their litter in bins. I really do believe that this crow is trying to return the pen and that is ADORABLE AS HELL.
THEY ARE SO SMART I LOVE THEM
Crows are thought to be self aware by some scientists. Its perfectly possible the crow wants to return the pen to humans. Knowing it belongs to humans.
Corvids. Who KNOWS. 🙂
Another cool crow deal: Once, when trying to assess if crows could reason and use tools, scientists had two crows who didn’t know each other each take a wire from a table (one was hooked, one was straight) and try to grab meat from a bottle with it. The crows could see each other, though they had separate bottles. Only the straight wire worked for this, so they hypothesized that if crows could reason, the second trial would have the two crows fighting over the straight wire. The second trial started and, to the surprise of the scientists, the two crows both went for the bent wire, one held it down and the other unbent it. They both got meat out of their bottles. They came to a peaceful solution without verbal communication. Crows are probably smarter than we are.
they still shit all over the place and eat garbage
Hope you guys like some young Immortal76 enjoying his bloodly drink!
