Compared with the popularity of the first three seasons, R&M's popularity in the fourth and fifth seasons has declined, but it is still the "white moonlight" in the hearts of many American comic fans.
Swim officially announced that the fifth season of "Rick and Morty" will begin airing on June 20, 2021, and adult swim announced that June 20 of each year will be designated as "Rick and Morty Day". On June 20, fans can log on to the advanced swim website to watch exclusive content for Rick and Morty, including but not limited to new footage, behind-the-scenes footage, surprise content and some interview clips from the production staff.
After a long wait and countless "ticket hoppings", "Rick and Morty" (R&M) finally ushered in the finale of the fifth season. Compared with the popularity of the first three seasons, R&M's popularity in the fourth and fifth seasons has declined, but it is still the "white moonlight" in the hearts of many American comic fans.

Since R&M was renewed by the owner of the money behind it for an additional 70 episodes at a time after the third season, R&M will be out of at least season ten according to this number. However, due to the "stability" of the episode subscription income, the creators began various experiments in production.
Compared to the quality of the first three seasons, which can win emmy awards for countless classic shots no matter which episode is released, the content of the fourth season significantly reduces the satire of political significance, and the number of episodes of the happy play terrier has increased significantly. The rapid increase in the number of episodes has prevented the creators from injecting a good and huge amount of information into each episode. In order to ensure the fun of the series, the fourth season can only add pure funny elements such as face-hugging bugs.

Inspired by Alien
In addition to the political implications and ironic effects, the creators tried to create a fuller image of Rick to the audience. In the first three seasons, the audience saw Rick as a "smartest man in the universe", who could turn the sun into a black hole, could shuttle between parallel universes, could kill a boss that threatened the whole universe after being drunk, and could throw a neutrino bomb enough to destroy the earth in the corner of the abandoned garage, "That's just a small toy made by hand".
But what about others? We know Rick is dashing, lonely, and pessimistic, but we don't know where Rick's character really comes from. If you just attribute these personalities to Rick's cleverness, the characters are too thin.
Negative Rick's self-perception
Rick's image in the first three seasons is more like a contradiction between nihilism and liberalism, and is the transmitter of the creators' inner thoughts. "Life is meaningless, anything will eventually be destroyed, there is no meaning, come to watch TV." 」 This sentence is spoken through Rick's mouth, expressing the nihilism of the creator's heart. But if this sentence is sandwiched between the second and third dimensions of Mr. Poop Cave, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
So from the fourth season onwards, we saw more of Rick's emotional scenes and felt more of the reasons behind Rick's character formation.
For example, in the second episode of the fourth season, the cause is only because Rick is a shy pooper, and there is no normal size of any creature next to it, so it directly creates a planet that only Rick can enter, and the meaning of this world's existence is only for Rick to be comfortable with the poop.

But then Rick finds out that his private toilet has been stolen, so he is very angry, and goes along with the shit to find the owner of the shit, "seriously" warning the person who stole his own toilet, Tony.

After some time, Tony hadn't come here to steal the toilet. So when Rick went to ask Tony about the situation, he found that Tony was dead. Rick gives Tony's father a sum of money, and Tony's father excitedly says to Rick, "It must be hard to lose a friend", but Rick refuses "fxxk you" with a hard mouth.
Hard-mouthed Rick
A drunken Rick returned to his toilet planet, sat on the toilet, triggered the mechanism he set for Tony, countless Rick holographic projections originally intended to mock Tony appeared, bringing Rick the crown of "king of shit", puns, irony and a series of R&M classic elements appeared at this moment, reflecting the original charm of R&M.

The overall feel of this episode is more like the epitome of the change in the main creative thinking of the entire R&M. The story itself may not be so brilliant, but in a very absurd but extremely real way, it shows us where Rick's loneliness and pain come from. Rick wants to be in complete control of everything because of his super high intelligence, but "damn fate" is always playing tricks on Rick. Although his appearance isolates him from others, his inner desire to connect with others is not only reflected in Rick, but also in the interpersonal phenomenon of our increasingly impetuous society.
Through the trailer for the fifth season, we see more Rick who is adventurous with his family, Rick who is seriously injured and needs Morty's care, and the contradiction between "Rick the Most Rick" of the main plot and Rick of other different worlds. Either way, it feels completely different from the first three seasons, reflecting the growth of Rick and the creators.
The informative trailer ranges from the badly injured Rick to the R&M of other universes
In any case, building on the first four seasons, the fifth season of "Rick and Morty" will bring a more mature plot and more imaginative brain holes, and on June 21, R&M, we will not be separated.
Wubba lubba oak oak!
