just saw the last episode and the last part broke me. Rick is actually really sad.

Rick and Morty is supposed to be episodic, it wouldn’t be Rick and Morty without it

There's no stake to the story tho, and theirs little room for natural character growth in people like Morty in a episodic season. Serialisation imo just makes everything better, as it paves the way for character growth and compelling antagonists

I prefer serialized shows but Rick and Morty clearly isn’t meant to be serialized. If it became serialized it would’ve already ended by now

Is that really such a bad thing for it to have ended by now though? Rick and Morty easily could have ended somewhere in season 3 after the season 2 cliffhanger.

It just feels like there's been no character growth for Morty since season 3. His character is yet to gain any real independence other than defeating the guy he shared the portal with and in that same episode going on solo missions. And even then that hasn't been brought up much at all. I simply suggested serialisation as it would allow his character to grow, at least more than it currently is

Just stop watching it. Pretend it ended after season 3. It's actually that easy

Yea, I have to disagree. Every time a new episode comes out I find myself thinking "wow! Morty has really grown up and gained some confidence" I think his character has come a long way since the beginning seasons.
