Does anyone else think that the idea of him being superior to Mordecai is false? Everyone shits on Mordecai for fumbling CJ and Margaret, but that’s the only thing Rigby has over him. In reality Rigby just got insanely lucky getting a girl who practically worshipped him. Mordecai not having that kind of luck does not automatically make Rigby better.
Does anyone else think that the idea of him being superior to Mordecai is false...
rigbyfags are delusional and season 7 was a mistake
Eh, they start out on basically the same level but as the show goes on they diverge, Rigby's shown to grow a lot more pragmatic and reasonable that Mordecai when it comes to relationships. That being said Rigby still falls pretty easily into traps that involve fame, pride, and so on. So I think they're still equal, it's just distributed in different ways. People focus more on Mordecai's failures because the modern internet acts like a bunch of 15 year old girls gossiping in the school bathroom about boyfriends, and because let's be honest the wedding episode was a genuine low point.
Rigby's Rizz was unmatched

define superior
as far back as season 1, they showed that Mordecai suffers from analysis paralysis too much, hence why even a retarded screwup like Rigby surpasses him on multiple aspects. Rigby did genuinely fuck him over in the Movie's flashback though
the s7 finale was just the boiling point where Mordecai's own mental role of being the mature one with more chances to succeed came into question as Rigby finally sort of grew up and stopped being the fuckup that needed Mordecai to bail him out
worshipped him.
One of the writers explicitly said what Eileen sees in Rigby is "a project." She literally just wanted to fix someone and be the better half.
Mordecai needed a girl like that
Modern Internet is obsessed with anything explicitly spelled out to them. They shit on Mordecai the most because the series makes it a point to tell the audience he was bad with his love interests. They praise Rigby for his development because the show treats him cheating through getting his diploma as a positive. I think literally every class he took he got out of it. He goes to China to learn English. He passes Gym by doing a car race. The closest to normal was the science class because he at least applied what he learned to get out of the cave and you actually got to see him be smart about something.
People even like CJ because the show doesn't do a good job of spelling out to retards that she's literally a psychotic bitch that WILL carelessly murder innocents if she so much as feels spurned by a love interest.
With CJ all people care about is that she fits the bill of tomboy which is one of the only designated categories of woman you're allowed to be compelled towards now. They'll use her becoming a storm cloud and almost killing people as cartoon logic you shouldn't care about, but then dissect Mordecai's fumbling of socializing with women as if it's deeply important and a sign he's truly irredemable. Hell people still look at Yes Dude Yes and hate Mordecai for the movie tickets thing when it's obvious he just got caught up in the moment and wanted to invite Margaret to the movies when his stress was alleviated and that she wasn't getting fucking married. He had no ill intent at all about the mixup. He just got caught up in a positive moment. Yet they give a pass to CJ's insane overreaction and destroying the cafe on top of how she acted like Mordecai was leading her on when he explicitly points out he already told her he wasn't interested in dating, just to cap it off with "you should've told me there was someone else!" "You're right :("
Like bitch, he said he doesn't want to date. Why should he also have to tell you he's thinking of someone else? That was ENTIRELY on you. You were the one that said to forget about the meetup and just have fun to cheer up Mordecai. You knew this was a friendly thing he didn't want to advance and after that point you're at fault for assuming it was becoming more.
Over a decade of people all over the internet discussing this show's romance drama to death, but not a single soul dwells on the fact that Mordecai
kidnapped an alternate version of himself
later erased him from existence
and then left his rigby with the psycho Mordecai who did the first thing in another timeline to go to an alternate one to escape his bad kiss reality
It's just him from earlier in the day. It's fucked up but in a comedic way. I don't see why anyone would put that heavy of a characterization focus on a timeline fuckery plot where he was being antagonistic to himself both ways. Even the second they went back in time his past self was already being a dick and not trusting them.
I mean, was she wrong? Rigby did become a pretty cool guy. Also, she absolutely thinks he's hot, that much is shown plenty of times.
Really, the real winner is Eileen for getting to actually succeed in the "fix a bad boy" fantasy.
Eileen is just kind of a shit character because the series is pretty open about showing everyone in the cast being dicks or kinda shitty but suddenly Eileen is just this perfect, insanely smart, main-character-salvaging girl everyone loves. She even perfectly mixes into Mordecai's love interests by becoming CJ's friend suddenly. Early on she was better when she was actively treated as weird and the characters didn't really care when she said something. Which is why Rigby being a dick was more fun, it kept Eileen feeling like a natural part of the show because he treated her passively. Then by Season 7 she's overanalyzing clues and we see her perspective like the fucking terminator and Rigby praising her in front of everyone and high school kids calling her a "mega babe".
They weren't just high school kids either, it was a jock not only praising her as a mega-babe but also shitting on Rigby for managing to get someone like her. The episode was written by Eileen's VA go figure. Had her cake and ate it too by Rigby carrying her off into the moonlight while also having her say she should get to bridal carry Rigby next and he agrees.
Morby
both are bad, what's so hard to understand about that?
People even like CJ because the show doesn't do a good job of spelling out to retards that she's literally a psychotic bitch that WILL carelessly murder innocents if she so much as feels spurned by a love interest.
Good fucking god, someone needs to tell that to LS Mark.
The problem with his review (I want to believe) mainly came from him forcing himself to binge the whole show in like a week or less. He openly admits to getting sick during it and that it was wearing thin on him. Regular Show is not something you can watch like that. I didn't pick up on it but comments on the video even called him out for getting episode plots wrong. He just fundamentally tried to force himself through it and it fucked up his perspective. Also yeah being with a bitch like Veronica is going to give him some bad perspectives on "guy is in the wrong" plots.
Doesn't matter, at least Mordecai's got two cheeks. That alone makes him deserving of being Regular Show's protagonist.

SNIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Rigby was more mature than Mordecai. I always preferred him when I was younger.
We know, Rigby.
Muh art college
Rigby unironically did him a favor even if unintentionally
i hate how they turned mordecai into a hipster in the finale. it never really felt like that was who he was going to be. it feels like it misses the point of the show.
he played old video games in 2015! they always bought VHS tapes!
this was literally just what their amalgamation of tech was like. new 16 bit games had the best graphics anyone had ever seen. dvds were just becoming a thing and VHS hadn't really died out.
that finale design after the timeskip was so awful to look at. im glad the spinoff if nothing else isn't continuing from there... at least people assume it isn't and it's just more pre-space stories. i couldn't handle a whole 40 episodes with that design of mordecai
Lol I'd recognize that frame anywhere
Do you have a better idea?
Oh no bro...
Let's say hypothetically Mordecai and Rigby replace Katie and Sadie in the original run of Total Drama Island. How far could they make it? This is assuming no access to outside tools like The Power or whatever.
I am a little bombed out that they cancelled Close Enough because I honestly think it's a way better show, and I think Regular Show has way too many episodes as is.
The make it to the final two.
Both kind of sucked, only thing Rigby has going for him is that his arc was a positive one, but I don't think it warrants the dick-sucking he gets. Mordecai's crime was actively dragging the show's quality down with his screentime.
And yet there're people who think she's not a Mary Sue, lol
I could see them both making an alliance with boys such as Duncan and Geoff, it helps that the killer bass had more men than femaied, both would also help in challenges meaning that the killer bass might not been a minority by the time of the merge. Might ended up being 5-5 instead of 6-4 for each team
Shouldn't skips move on from his boyhood crush? Or should he stay painfully single forever?
He should date another immortal like the elder babies. Cause that would be really funny and weird, but also oddly make sense.
Disagree, maybe skips is better off being painfully single forever.
I'd say Mordecai was never superior to Rigby. They were more or less the same. The only difference is that Rigby accepted that he was a fuckup while Mordecai just wanted to show he wasn't a fuckup. And he wasn't fooling his closest friends.
They reacted differently at being called a fuckup.
Mordecai "I'm not a fuckup and I'll show you."
Rigby "Don't call me a fuckup"
While Mordecai seemed to be the more mature, he really hadn't the need to work on himself. If he got an Eileen, it wouldn't have work because of shallowness.
Rigby did feel the need to work on himself. Even when he wanted to finish school for Eileen, she was mostly accessory she he did finish school for himself.
Accepting you're a fuckup is the first step to stop being a fuckup.
The amount of effort people of this era spend dissecting and hating the characters that are just your average Beavis and Butthead or Bill and Ted is exhausting.
I miss when individual cartoon episodes used to be properly advertised with their own unique promos :(
