Solar Opposites

Just an average show that would not have much following or the inflated rating had the creator not also become famous for creating Rick and Morty.

The main story is more or less an inter-dimensional cable arc, sadly lacking anyone named Michael, that mostly falls flat. It feels like Rick and Morty with extra steps. The real gem of this show is the The Wall and the characters within. It's no surprise the Wall episode is the highest crowd rated in the season.

I loved the first 3 seasons of this show. It was funny, clever and random. The dynamics between characters worked very well. I enjoy Justin Roilands style of absurd comedy and have been a fan of his characters. However, I understand the decision to let him go and don't blame the show for doing it. However, the complete rejection of his style ruins elements of the show I really enjoyed. Korvo simply doesn't seem like the same character anymore, which in effect has shifted terrys role and character. I only made it 5 episodes into season 4 before I just lost interest in the show.

It feels like they tried to hard to be witty with it without considering how the audience would respond to it. It is unfortunate that people are review bombing this show, but don't look past the fact that many don't like how this was approached. I also watch Rick and Morty, I think the Rick replacement has done a fantastic job so far, the Morty replacement needs some work, but it at least doesn't change the character and I believe it will improve. I really wish Solar Opposites would have taken this approach.

Other reviews I've read have been saying the wall story is so much more interesting and better than the actual show. I'll admit the wall story is very interesting and has a great concept. But I watch Solar Opposites because of the entire show. It's fun, crazy, over the top, and just great. I wouldn't say this show is underrated, but it isn't given enough credit for the great show it is. Keep watching, because it's worth it.

Solar Opposites is the spiritual continuation of Rick and Morty's cultural footprint and its more streamlined style of storytelling makes this show a nice juxtaposition to Roiland's Adult Swim smash hit. Though some of the storytelling and character archetypes may be too similar to Rick and Morty's cast, rest assured Solar Opposites' cast gives a more alien perspective to Earth's very human culture.

This is a family sitcom rather than an existential black comedy which Rick and Morty's managed to pull off so well: but these aliens still possess it's predecessor's irreverent humour and energy all the same. Hopefully these two shows will crossover in the not-too distant future and we'll see how Rick and Korvo are two analogies for one another whilst having radically different ideas over the same stuff relevant to them.

This is a nice beginning to something new and fresh, and this may be Justin Roiland's chance to broaden his creative horizons even further.

Yes the wall parts are the best bits but in honesty it is all pretty dam good. The fans aren't as unbearable as the constantly butthurt Rick & Morty fans either which is a good thing. Also you don't have to wait 3 years between seasons. My only minor complaint with it is Korvo sounds too much like Rick but I can live with that.
