RICK AND MORTY
A Social Graphs & Interactions Analysis
A Social Graphs & Interactions Analysis
Welcome on our special website for the Social Graphs & Interactions analysis of the great, the crazy, the spicy show Rick and Morty!
Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon in 2013. The latest season released in June 2021, and a sixth one has been confirmed for next year.
The show depicts the incredible adventures of an old, mad, unbearable but disconcertingly smart scientist Rick, and his fearful and a bit limited grandson Morty. They traverse time and space to meet a bunch of bizarre creatures across the various dimensions of the Universe.
Still, Rick and Morty are not alone. In particular, they take part of the Smith Family: we find Beth, the Rick's daughter and Morty's mother, her husband Jerry, and Morty's sister Summer. Rick and Morty also have many friends (and enemies) in the Universe, that we discover over episodes.
Here, we put together all the results we obtained during the final project of "Social Graphs & Interactions" course at the Technical University of Denmark. For a brief contextualisation, this is our project presentation video.
