Rick and Morty Season 7 Removes Creator Credits From Opening Sequence

The creator credits for Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon have been omitted from the opening title card ahead of the Season 7 premiere.


Adult Swim released the new opening sequence for Rick and Morty Season 7 without the "created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon" credit seen in the previous six installments.


The change comes after Adult Swim officially severed ties with Rick and Morty co-creator Roiland following allegations and charges of domestic abuse. While Roiland and Harmon's names have been removed from the title card, it doesn't mean they won't receive any credit at all. A similar approach was taken when Solar Opposites Season 4 was released. The title card no longer displayed Roiland and Mike McMahan's creator credits, but the duo was still credited within each episode.


Although the domestic abuse charges against Roiland were dropped, a new report alleges that the Rick and Morty creator used his fame to pursue young fans. Eleven unnamed women and nonbinary fans claim to have talked to Roiland via text, social media, and dating apps between 2013 and 2022. Nine claim that the conversations were of a sexual nature, with three adding that they were 16 years old at the time. When Roiland was asked for comment on the new allegations, the voice actor's attorney, Andrew Brettler, called the claims "false and defamatory."


A New Era of Rick and Morty


Despite the dark shadow cast over Rick and Morty by the allegations against Roiland, Adult Swim decided to proceed with Season 7 to support staff members who had been actively involved in developing the new season. The network recently confirmed that the next batch of episodes of the hit animated series will stick to a traditional release schedule and won't be splitting into separate volumes. The reason for the change has yet to be confirmed, but it marks a new era for the show, which has taken mid-season breaks of varying lengths throughout its run.


Rick and Morty Season 7 will continue to explore a storyline that was initially introduced in Season 3. After being captured by the Galactic Federation, Rick decided to fabricate a story about how he invented the portal gun to escape to an alternate universe. This false tale served as a cover-up for a more harrowing truth - the original Rick, or Rick Prime, was responsible for the death of his wife and a younger version of his daughter, Beth. In Season 5, Rick tells Morty the truth and explains that his desire for revenge against Rick Prime has been haunting him for a long time.


Rick and Morty Season 7 premieres on Adult Swim on Oct. 15

Every Underworld Movie, Ranked by Rotten Tomatoes

Fans and critics have shared opinions of the Underworld franchise, and Rotten Tomatoes is no exception. The Underworld series is made up of action-horror films revolving around the ongoing war between vampires and werewolves, each trying to destroy the other. Amidst this conflict, the love story between Selene, a powerful vampire, and Michael, a hybrid being, is a recurring theme. Throughout the series, figures on both sides prove to have hidden agendas. At times, it's hard to tell who is an ally and who is an enemy. One group may be on the brink of extinction, but this might just be what they want the enemies to think. Eventually, even humans learn of the secret war. The Underworld franchise, made up of at least five films and an animated short, has an interesting history.

Loki Producer Shares Cryptic Comment on Kang's Future in the Multiverse

Loki’s executive producer Kevin Wright says there are clues about Kang’s future in the MCU in the show’s Season 2 finale. Loki Season 2 wrapped up with an epic finale for its titular character while also leaving new questions about Kang the Conqueror's role in the MCU moving forward. Tom Hiddleston's Loki is one of the MCU's most developed characters - his latest turn in the Disney+ series is far removed from 2011 Thor's single-minded villain arc. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Executive Producer Kevin Wright spoke at length about the titular character now that Loki Season 2 has wrapped up, culminating in a self-sacrifice that weaved Loki into the fabric of the Marvel Multiverse. Considering how the Kang variants also played pivotal parts in the series, Loki becoming the Multiverse's guardian begs the question if it affects Kang the Conqueror's development as the MCU's next big bad. Wright cautiously commented on the show's impact on the MCU
