Love it or hate it, few television shows are more influential Rick and Morty. Not only did it shape the course of Western animation for years to come, but the writers of that show went on to shape other franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, it looks like Cartoon Network's outrageously vulgar cartoon has shaped the most influential sci-fi franchise in history for the better. Not only that Lower Decks created by former Rick and Morty writer Mike McMahan, but he confirmed in a recent interview that his old cartoon inspired what he hopes will be a bold new direction for Star Trek.
The Star Trek Multiverse
If you are more of a fan Rick and Morty than Star Trek (or vice versa), you'll need a brief refresher about the ending Lower Decks understanding this connection. With a warning that you will encounter spoilers, here it is: Lower Decks recently aired a series finale where Starfleet discovered a stable wormhole in the multiverse. Now, instead of occasionally ending up in other dimensions through cosmic fluctuations or other cosmic anomalies, the Federation can quietly explore the universe whenever and wherever it wants.
In a recent interview with CinemaBlend, McMahan opened up about his writing experience Rick and Morty he shaped what he saw as the future of Star Trek. “I worked for four seasons Rick and Morty we are talking about multiverses,” he says. “I'm thinking a lot about what about diversity would be as fun as warp travel.”
In the end, he came to an understanding that we wish more franchise creators had: “Star Trek is not just an encounter, well speaking…I mean, it is, but it's about learning about the possibilities of life itself, right?” As a result, he feels that “learning about the possibilities of humanity and having a different quadrant map is really exciting for me.”
In other words, McMahan seems to believe that Rick and MortyThe past should be the future of Star Trek and that the future endings should focus more on exploring diversity rather than simply meandering from Point A to Point B. It's unknown how much of an impact the ending will have. Lower Decks you will have it in this franchise. Adoptionset centuries later, it certainly never mentions Starfleet easily tracking the multiverse. However, where will one or more future Star Trek series begin? Lower Decks the rest could give this aging franchise a much-needed shot in the arm.
It's easy to say this because most everything on the Trek horizon looks very disappointing. We are excited about the upcoming season of Strange New Worldsbut it is difficult to be happy in the same way Starfleet Academy (an early cancellation spinoff Adoption) or the original Star Trek film (which will do little but tread familiar territory). Live action The office-like the show starring Tawny Newsome sounds interesting, but there's still too little information about it to be very interesting.
Given how much time and energy Paramount poured into the original Star Trek movie, it's safe to say that the studio is currently more interested in playing it safe than changing things up. That's a shame, though, as is the early cancellation of both Adoption again Lower Decks identify a franchise that needs an artistic shake-up (the more dramatic, the better). Removes the page Rick and MortyThe book 's might be the best if it allows Star Trek to do what it should have been doing all along: go where the franchise has never gone before.
There is, of course, some irony about it Rick and Morty to help shape the future of Star Trek. When Lower Decks was first announced, there was a lot of hand wringing about whether or not it would be a Star Trek skin around Rick and Morty-style storytelling. Fortunately, Lower Decks it quickly developed its comedic nostalgia vibe, but now, we can't help but hope that Star Trek embraces the limitless possibilities of the multiverse with all the charm of Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith.
And if that doesn't happen anytime soon, fans may have to beg Cartoon Network to lend Paramount a few copies of Mr. Meeseeks. Of course, getting Star Trek writers to write Star Trek well is easier than helping Jerry take two strokes off his golf game… right? If that doesn't happen, fans will have to subdue those demons that think pain is pleasure to enjoy a NuTrek era that is somehow more painful than anything we've ever experienced.
