Why?

Like is this the new remake and sequel template for milking a franchise to death?

Rick and Morty MTG cards coming out next year.

There actually is a Rick and Morty short in this style and with this director from a few years back.

It's not exactly peak Rick and Morty or anything, but it's so surreal and weird that it's kind of enthralling: https://youtu.be/-kdltv_CSHE

This is a surreal thing to see. I still don't quite believe it's real and seeing more evidence it is, makes me question reality.

Its like inter-dimensional cable all over again.

Something that I hadn't noticed in previous articles about this series is that it is being directed by Takashi Sano, whose previous works include Tower of God.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Tower of God was such a flat show to me. Probably because of the source material, but I can't get a feel for the director from it.

Amusing that Jerry is omitted from that screenshot

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 months ago

Not gonna lie, the trailer looks better than I expected. Looking forward to the premiere.

What is the point of this show? The main show is still going.

I thought the main guys went to jail. I must be wrong?
