Hey… Did anyone else notice that Season 4 of Rick and Morty was incredibly META? Like… in a creepy ominous way.
I doubt I'm the only one who noticed, but I wanted to see what everyone else thought.
Episode 9 was the shows attempt about joking about Sitchen's earth Chronicles? I can only assume since he literally calls the God in the clouds Yahweh and they had a tower of Babble reference.
Episode 10 had some weird gag of a TV in a Diner that said the words "Soony" rather than Sony.
I don't know why, but it feels like the show took a very dark narcissistic turn. More than usual. The two Beth's at the end of episode 10 even seem to convey that when they talk down on Rick(who is the biggest narcissist). The frame portrays Beth infatuated with her self while the camera pans below her face as she talks own to Rick. It's an odd artistic choice.
I dunno, but a lot of recent fictional media has gotten a little too META for my liking. Thoughts?
