It's sad that "adult animation" in the US is mostly immature Family Guy & Rick & Morty comedy clones. Adventure Time, a show aimed at children, handled heavy themes with much more maturity than most "adult' animated shows. Sometimes having limits on your creative process brings out better stories than just relaying on "edgy" shock humor that quickly grows stale and fails to shock, it's just boring. I'm not saying a series can't sometimes have those things but I'm just tired of series where's it's nothing but those things which are overused and loses all impact. Even Family Guy & Rick and Morty started off as good series but over time just kept lazilly relying on their own tropes and became shadows of their former selves. Peter Griffin started off as a caring Family Man who faced problems that threatened his family as a whole and he did genuinely acted like a human being, now he's just an amoral sociopathic a-hole who acts like he genuinely despises his family. Sure he did wacky things but there was a balance, now the show is just a joke delivery vehicle for references and the plot is inconsequential. Rick Sanchez started off as a wacky mad scientist Doc Brown parody but he actually cared about Morty, Summer & Beth. Now he's an all powerful god king scientist and routinely says nothing matters and is practically a villain spreading misery and death wherever he goes. Even worse the new season seems to be revisiting old episode's settings instead of something new, franchise fatigue has definitely set in. If the main character doesn't care why should we? Where is any sense of conflict or narrative stakes when Rick can just magic science his way out of any situation because he is literally the smartest being in the multiverse pretty much being an all powerful god? Conflict is the essence of drama and what drives all fiction. I really don't care to see an episode where the writers tell us how stupid heist movies are or call out the narrative tropes to Die Hard. That isn't clever or interesting and quite frankly is super off putting and just shows how far up their own asses they are. I feel like the writer's are running out of science-fiction ideas to mimic & mock, they should read some Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A. Heinlein, Phillip K. Dick and others. Having an episode centered around the 3 laws of robotics is more interesting to me than whatever pop culture pet peeve Dan Harmon has. And take this with a grain of salt these are just my personal opinions & observations and in no way am I saying my way is the only one true correct way or interpretation.
