“I think we’ve been following a dysfunctional family’s journey towards some kind of healing for the last 10 years,” he said. Grammer. “It’s been an amazing experience for the audience, obviously we still have fans. So we’re still going and there will be more, which is exciting. It’s been great and interesting.”

I don’t know if I anticipated that this show would be as popular around the world as it is, I thought we might be popular in the United States. But it’s an incredible opportunity, [sinto-me] incredibly lucky and amazing. And I’m very happy to have been part of it.

Next, the artist was asked how she sees the way in which Rick and Morty was successful and became a landmark in pop culture: “It’s a combination of so many things. I think culturally we needed something that was a little irreverent, a little satirical, something that we didn’t see on TV at the time that was about science, or the multiverse , space…”

“There was a place where this was needed and wanted, and it really spread and branched out everywhere,” he continued. Spencer Grammer. “I mean, a lot of movies now have multiverses, alternate reality, portals that lead to other places, infinite timelines… it’s everywhere now.”

Rick and Morty that was really the origin of it. At the time, it wasn’t something that hadn’t existed before. We had just kind of forgotten about it. [Multiverso] It’s a crazy concept. And I think they really managed to make it palatable, so that the audience really understood it in a simple way, and that really had a profound effect on everything. You know, opened a box.
