With that said I also want to mention that even though there has been more than a year since this season, my opinions about it haven't changed much if at all.
I disliked every single episode. You know "The Ricklantis Mixup", a highly praised episode considered by fans one of the best in the series? I disliked it as well. There are many reasons why I felt towards it that way, but the main reason is that how on earth - or in this case in the multiverse - is it possible that millions of versions of an old genius - they themselves being geniuses - would let a 14 year old boy run for their president? I mean, sure it's fiction, but in this show kids are kids. They go to school, are financially dependent on their parents and lack life experience. Maybe in one or more universes things are different, but it's never established that evil Morty comes from such a universe, so I'm let to assume that in his universe kids are still kids. Granted, he is a genius, but we have no confirmation that the Ricks know that, and even if they did know it would still not make any sense, because they're geniuses as well. Not to mention that in real life genius kids are still kids. Even if they are above average intelligence, they still need a parent or guardian. It seems to me like the writers were to lazy to come with a more believable way for evil Morty to gain power.[...]
I'm sorry, let me get this straight - are we still talking about a show, that has a character named "Mr. Poopybutthole"?
The worst thing about the fanbase is that they have some unrealistic expectations of the show. It's just a dumb cartoon and it wasn't even THAT good to begin with. Stop treating it like it's meant to be some kind of an epic masterpiece, the pinnacle of sci-fi, or the voice of a generation. The novelty has worn off, so you can either enjoy the show for what it is - and always was, or move on to something else.
Don't get me wrong - I like "Rick and Morty" well enough, but I've consistently enjoyed just about half of the episodes and jokes, whereas the other half made me cringe.
