Recent animation

Recently I have shown much more of an interest in animation. I have been watching Rick and Morty. It is one of my favourite shows! It is an adult animation. It follows a mad scientist and his grandson on their far fetched and hilarious adventures. I admire the aesthetic of  the show.

“The existential nihilist judges human existence to be pointless and absurd. It leads nowhere and adds up to nothing. It is entirely gratuitous, in the sense that there is no justification for life, but also no reason not to live.” explains the author DONALD A CROSBY. This is particularly evident in the protagonist Rick, an old mad scientist.

The show has a message which is that human life has no purpose, so we should just have fun whilst we are here. This is clear through the characteristics and attitude that Rick has. This is very funny. The aesthetic also reflects this with bright pastel colours and crazy random characters popping up throughout.
