What does the animated series for Scientific Comedy "Rick and Morti" have with the "HBO" drama? If you assume "absolutely nothing", you will be correct; Or, more precisely, you would be correct before the "Rick and Morti" season 8.

In a A recent interviewShowner Scott Marder explained how The premiere of Season 8, "Summer of All Fear", come. The episode showed viewers on how summer and bitter adults are, unpacking how their newly discovered maturity (and mourning) will affect their relationships with their parental figures. "It was greatly influenced by Succession," Marker said. "I think that series really excites us when we do something based on adult versions of summer and Morti."

It is especially easy to see the parallels between the Succession Shiva Roy and the adult summer in the premiere. The adult summer shortened her hair short as she did in season 2, and she maintains similar cold behavior. Meanwhile it seems that Morti is very much like Kendall Roy, with what seems to be wildly back and forth Quiet depression and manic self -destructive behavior. Like Shiv and Kendall, adults and adults appear to have a good understanding of each other, but there is clear darkness among them that can prevent the duo from being true allies.

"We could have done so much with these children as adults," Marker explained further. "I know the writer, Esses Lacher, associated with that fantasy that if you can go back to high school or go back to college, knowing everything you know now. That's like such a centuries -old dream. But it wouldn't go as you hoped it would go."

Surely, "the fear of all flying" quickly turns off the summer's hope of running high school again, because it turns out that her classmates are not impressed with her new attitude or maturity. Instead, the episode focuses on the relationship of summer with her mother, Beth, researching how their to be the same age affects their dynamics. Beth initially wants to have a daughter who can behave better as an adult colleague, but the summer new age does not just make her wiser; It makes it easier to offend Beth with cruel, passive-aggressive accuracy.

Beth ends trying to delete summer memory for the past 17 years. Although the summer has now made it clear, she is happier and considers these memories worth part of her identity, Beth would like to bring things back to normal so that she can have the upper hand in this relationship. It's kind of something Logan Roy would do to "subsequent". He says he wants his children to grow up and stop relying on his legacy, but he actually wants them to rely on him so he can control them better. If Logan ever had the opportunity to erase his children's memories to stifle their growth, he would take it per second.

Fortunately, Beth changed his mind to erase the summer memory (she and Morti do it voluntarily at the end), so at least we know it is Not so relentless as a patriarch of the Roy family. However, it is unconvincing to realize Logan's clearest parallel in the "subsequent" episode on this show is not an obvious grandfather Rick, but Beth Harmon. Fans talked about a Potentially evil summer For some time, but maybe it's evil, we should be the most concerned.
