2 statements about Futurama, every show
Rick and Morty has a darker sensibility than Futurama ever possessed
“Rick and Morty is like, it's sci-fi, fantasy, comedy, and it's dark, as dark as my sensibility is, which featurama never really was, as dark as I think ultimately I liked to write, and then just doing it with your friends.”
Unlike Futurama's staff, Rick and Morty writers have no science backgrounds
“Admittedly, unlike Futurama, none of us on the staff have, we are barely educated. We're not mathematicians. We don't really know that much about science. We're writing from the point of view of tropes and genre stuff, and we want to tell good stories.”
