I think the main thing that helps Solar Opposites rise above Rick and Morty is that it feels more sincere. It also sets reasonable expectations for the audience and delivers on them. Rick and Morty kinda blew its load too early and is now trying to walk it back because the show runners were not expecting it to skyrocket in popularity the way it did. Solar Opposites flying under the radar did help it avoid burnout and I think the show having a lower ceiling has helped it in the long run.

[@WinterPhoenix]

I feel like Solar Opposites doesn't insult its audience as Rick and Morty does, especially when it comes to lore.

[@Slimchimrichalds]

I kinda see what you’re saying but Rick acts as like a pseudo narrator to the series given his fourth wall breaks. And Rick insults everyone; he sees everyone as below him, including the audience. The show makes fun of its viewers because the show is essentially Rick himself. He doesn’t want to reveal lore because he’s a closed off narcissist with vulnerability issues. The small bits we get have to be essentially forced out of him.

Glen feels so well acted and I actually really enjoyed his character this season, which is comforting because I wasn't super fond of him in the earlier episodes of last season. It feels like he's coming into his own, and I'm curious to see where exactly the whole Goldcop thing takes him. I just finished this season and already I can't wait to see what they cook up for s6!

[@kingbellos1403]

I don’t know how to fully describe the decline of Rick and Morty without it sounding like I am hating on them. It is like they have fully embraced the weird, cringe, and gross out of hubris and ego. Like the repeated incest plots don’t feel introspective. It is like that edgy internet kid trying to make a point in the most shocking way possible bc he think he is smarter than you. I feel at this point they want to make the show as cringe and off putting as possible so that the people that stay and praise them are “the true fans” that “get it”.

[@nemesisalex9424]

Like how Evil Morty went from a misterious and genuine threat to an arrogant know it all cause the writers decided to meat ride him to the sun and back. There isn't even a satisfying explanation as to why he's a genius, he just is cause he's so cool and smart and everything/everyone else is beneath him.

[@graphite2786]

What a great review, you nailed it my dude! I love Rick and Morty but Rick has become over powered in his arc. Absolute access to every possiblity means a solution to every problem. There aren't any limits- Rick can grow a new body, go into other timelines, construct decoys, buy replacements, build new universes, upload consciousnesses into simulations- the tension of the stories has gone. Mortys going to die? Doesn't matter, there's a dozen ways to fix it. I think that's why the concept was great for 3 seasons and now , episodes feel hollow. I hated Solar Opposites when it first came out, the characters were unlikeable and annoying. But with time they've definitely grown on me as they've stopped relying on SciFi to fix everything and started to use pop references to address their problems. But then giving those pop references a twist. I thought the "What if" machine storyline was a brilliant use of adaptation. Plus the characters are deeply flawed, not because of traumas but that's how their race is . " I hate Earth. It's a horrible home. People are stupid [and confusing]." And that's the backbone of the show, them trying to fit in, total trivialities of Earth culture becoming incredibly important to them, while their disastrous actions to earth people are shrugged off as inconsequential. To me this is fricken hilarious and very entertaining. And the best thing is they don't learn in a personal way like with a human would. Add the Wall saga, and Silvercops, I find "Solar opposites"'a lot more entertaining than the recent Rick & Mortys.

[@abbaaudu2770]

Brilliantly said!

[@Rosa8princess]

Them becoming a real couple was so cute😭 So heart warming and well done! I just recently started watching from season three because I just never got around to watching it and found it pretty cringe with the references they were making, but then it just got so good! They were so unlikable at first, but the wall saved the show, and now I love all the storylines! Them becoming a real couple finally gave them that character arc we needed to enjoy them as characters and embrace that odd-family dynamic they weren’t too solid on when the show first started!

[@jacobkakyoin6882]

Big fan of how even though they joke about being low-continuity in the main Solar Opposites stories, status quo shifts and developments and information do subtly stick and matter. Between all the subplots, and this season making 'F Consequences!' a running gag, I genuinely wouldn't be shocked if even more massive permanent shakeups affecting the Opposites were on the horizon.

I love this show! and i honestly love Dan Stevens as Korvo, it suits who his character has become SO WELL. Also, with how sweet and horned up their relationship is, it feels so appropriate for Korvo to have some sort of obvious sex appeal. and a british accent really goes above and beyond to sell him in every flirtation with Terry.

[@Theatricsanddramatics]

I like it better because while it does still contain *some* "i hate my family" humor, it's not filled with painfully horrible dynamics made up of pure hatred. In Rick and Morty they all hate each other so much, go overboard on the incest jokes, and generally just doesn't have likeable characters. Does it have funny jokes? Sure, but the show itself is seriously lacking in the form of interesting characters. It's not even like Bojack Horseman where you love to hate him, it's annoying to sit through. I like how Terry and Korvo are genuinely in love, and how it doesn't sacrifice loveable moments between characters for the sake of comedy. There are actually some sweet moments that get a couple seconds to be enjoyable and aren't immediately ruined with a joke. I will say it is lacking in a lot of areas, but I don't mind that so much because even during the bland moments I still enjoy the characters themselves. Also, while not the best thing to depend on, the show depending mostly on subplots is kinda fun to me. I like the silly little side stories that spice things up.

[@wingsoftwitchbots5613]

Solar Opposites doesn't have a bad episode over its entire run. The animation clearly had an improved quality in the newest season, not that it was ever lacking good animation. Various rays and devices that have been established are used or brought up when they would logically be used again, not just done for fan service (think meeseeks). The voice acting has always been peak and Dan Stevens is doing better than Justin Roiland did. Characters have a lot of depth even for trivial unimportant things, Yumyulack has mentioned his love for chowder numerous times which while so far irrelevant to any story telling its been one of the small details kept consistent throughout multiple seasons. They also have some good foreshadowing, I might be wrong but id put money on there being a little buddy episode next season due to the make alive ray being used on the backyard. I still like Rick and Morty but this has far surpassed it.

Fun Fact: If someone likes to know how they handeld the voice change in other Language dubs.

So germany never had a Voice actor change and no the new old voice actor is not doing a british accent in german (he only did once for the first episode of the last season). still better then randomly switch out the germans in malcom in the middle with danish people.

You finally got me. Sat down and started watching Solar Opposites while I was sick this week. Immediately hooked, binged to Season 4, starting that tonight. You know how to call them, great show.

[@justinAclark2075]

Even before watching the first episode, I hypothesized that the show would be "(P)Solar Opposites" with Rick and Morty in all the most key ways, excluding science being a key theme. Rick and Morty as a title is a combination of Doc and Marty, and Rigor Mortis. Meaning it's cosmic horror at its center. Solar Opposites is not a direct combination of names and phrases, but it is inspired by the trope of The Odd Couple (opposites that live together), and in the context of possibly sharing a universe with Rick and Morty. And once I watched it, I found I was definitely right. Notice in this show, instead of the family being from earth, and being led by someone who longs to leave and find a more meaningful existence.. the family is from another planet, and the one science guy is only concerned with leaving the planet because he wants to get back to an old, familiar place. Planet Shlorp. And the central theme varies in each episode, whereas the theme is always generally cosmic horror in Rick and Morty. The B stories in Solar Opposites are the most canonical and the most deeply fascinating, where it is the A story that is neglected from episode to episode that makes up the deepest and most interesting parts of Rick and Morty. And Dan Harmon is a narcissist who loves to add poetically perfect concepts to his work to make a point, which I find hilarious, because he's a self declared Nihilist, who doesn't care about anything. And he hates when people predict his writing, and that also, ironically, makes him a little more predictable. Edit: they also share the key theme of the importance of family and the futility of resistance to family ties

[@Ieneuinst]

One way I can see the three story lines coming in together is say maybe somewhere out there in the universe there’s another shlorp that just got destroyed and since the schlorpians have terraformed so many planets, it would leave only a few available places to go. Maybe there’s a huge schlorp invasion on earth, which would get the silver cops involved, I’m sure someone can think of a better explanation for the wall/yard plot coming into play but I feel like in order for three plots to come together for one big finale, the schlorpians have to be involved

I think I would say Solar Opposites has a more consistent quality than Rick and Morty does, in terms of season to season and episode to episode, but when Rick and Morty is great it exceeds Solar Opposites. That coupled with the cultural impact Rick and Morty has had, whereas I feel like a lot of the general public doesn't know Solar Opposites even exists. What's wild is when it comes to both show, I don't know if I'd rather both go on forever or have well-thought out conclusions within a few seasons.

Honestly the ‘Loony Toons’ episode was one of the funniest episodes of TV I have seen in a long time. I was legitimately laughing out loud alone in my apartment.

I honestly think Dan Stevens has been doing great as Krovo. He gives the character a personality rather than just being and sounding like Diet Rick. This just made me think that Krovo should have just been voiced by someone other than Roiland from the start I feel like Stevens and Middleditch have more chemistry than when Roiland was Krovo To be honest, Justin Roiland isn't great as a voice actor as he just has three different voices. His normal voice, his Rick voice, and his Morty voice.

[@pepitocovid-91]

I literally just binge watched all seasons in the past three days, and ngl, I didn't have a lot of expectation towards it, but it surprised me a lot I started watching it because of Terry and Korvo's relationship and I love the direction they are taking it

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Thanks For all your hardwork! Appreciate all your hardwork!! Specially rick and morty

[@mkim9953]

Unrelated, but you have one of the best/coolest outtro and I always make a point to listen all the way to the end

I had this weird deja vu when I saw the silver Cops episode and I could have sworn that was a thing Jerry did on Rick and Morty and he did! What did the Green Lantern knock-off joke in both these shows

Adding onto the idea that pop culture is how the Solar Opposites learn about earth culture, its also informed how they treat other people and each other. They refer to themselves by the title of their show, they frequently do asides for jokes, and worst of all, they treat literally everyone they meet as disposable side characters in the sitcom they've made out of their lives. They live and act free of consequence because they view themselves as "main characters". I freaking love the Solar Opposites, I'm glad you're helping get more eyes on it and I cant fucking wait for more.

Regarding the Wall The mention of a possible Wall vs the Backyard Plotline, I most suspect 1 of 2 Scenarios 1. A War breaks out during Winter due to Resources and Warmth 2. A Holy War regarding this Woman who may have just preformed a miracle simply by proclaiming her reign and the original Wall Cult who might want the baby back.

I like all the pop culture references the show does

[@TheOGcupcakesniffer]

The new backyard arc really feels like a grounded easter egg :) and as a long time grounded player it was a nice touch ❤

[@cluckcluckchicken]

Solar Opposites allowed its characters to subtly evolve over time. Rick and Morty keeps them going in circles, while actively mocking the viewers for wishing that they would evolve. Solar Opposites >>> Rick and Morty!!

Love me some good ol' Solar Opposites! Thank you for the review of the wall

[@bearberserker]

I can't help but think My Rebel Ponies when I see that one episode with the Silver Cops! 😂

[@ElectronicStar24]

Learned to love Solar Opposites over the time and the wall story is more interesting than I expected it to be^^

[@lewisbaldwin9683]

A good way to combine all three stories is to have the pupa form a bond with Cherie. This bond cause the pupa to become overloaded and threatens to take over the entire universe and make every planet into shlorp. So we have silver cops wanting the stop the pupa, Cherie wanting to help the pupa and become queen of the universe and then we have the solar opposites having to decide what side to join

Only a matter of time till Silvercops go in the wall

[@kernsanders3973]

Silver cops thing is still interesting.. for now but it is quickly starting to become like the wall story, but the wall story is just rehashing the same plot over and over, that its at the point i skip over those segments. Also no the pop culture references dont always land because sometimes they are the joke. It's like that latest rescue rangers chip and dale movie from disney where almost most of the movie is just "hey remember this thing" with no extra content behind it than just the reference. Quite a few times the pop culture references are the joke itself, which is kinda played out by now. Also you really need a 15sec limit memory to find the "character growth" well done. Seriously how many times does korvo and terry need to learn to appreciate each other. Sometimes multiple times in a single season. Still like the show to a degree but in no way is it surpassing Rick and Morty's decline. It just that it never exceeded the popularity that it doesnt get the flak Rick and Morty does. But they both are in the same rut i feel. Still entertaining to a degree but it's not like I drop everything when a new season is released. Which was certainly not the case at the first few seasons of both shows. I could easily forget a new season is out and put if off for months to start watching. But you are spot on with the tom and jerry thing with korvo, it was hilarious, because in that episode they actually tried to do something interesting
