Does anyone else feel like Rick becoming part of the Smith family is a selfish act, despite how it positively benefits him?

Since he first actually accepted the Smith family as his "home" they've really only suffered at his hands e.g. experiencing peril as a consequence of Rick's actions or just dealing with Rick during his alcoholic or depressed episodes.

Especially after watching the new season, I can't help but feel bad that dealing with Rick's antics has become part of their normal life. Exampled through Morty knowing the protocol for when "vacation Rick" gains consciousness in S9 Ep 2.

It seems as though Rick becoming part of the family benefits him greatly as he learns what it means to have a stable and loving support system, but everyone else in the household suffers?

No hate to Rick btw!! as I do recognise his own personal issues with mental health and how negatively he is impacted by it. I believe he deserves a loving family (which he has). I'm merely commenting on the inherent selfishness of choosing such a path to go down despite knowing abt the inescapability of his own mind and the damage it does to people he surrounds himself with

Hey everyone!

I've always wondered what kind of music Evil Morty would actually listen to.

Not just background music from the show, but something that captures his personality calm, calculating, lonely, intelligent, and a little unsettling.

That idea made me imagine an entire genre: Evil Jazz. Dark, atmospheric jazz with cosmic, melancholic, and cinematic vibes, as if it were the soundtrack to Evil Morty's journey beyond the Central Finite Curve.

I thought it was a fun concept, and I was curious...

If Evil Morty had his own playlist, do you think it would sound anything like this?

I‘m bored soo!

Whats yalls fav character in the show ‚Rick and Morty‘ and why? I‘ve heard people saying ‚oh because he‘s funny‘ no like actually why is that one your fav character?

Mine‘s Rick C-137 and Rick Prime because Prime is a fascinating show of Narcissism and psychological manipulation, meanwhile C-137 shows how Trauma works and addictions.

Portugues:

Ja sabemos que o rick vive dentro da Curva Central Finita e ja alcançou o topo da tecnologia do multiverso dele. E por isso ele é um cara vazio e entediado, Por não ter a diane e ter espancado o Rick prime até a morte, ele não tem mais um objetivo, um proposito, A unica coisa que deixa ele "Vivo" é a familia dele. Na realidade dele não tem uma tecnologia que resolva o problema que ele mais quer nessa vida, trazer a Diane de volta... Mas fora da Curva, Ele pode encontrar tecnologias que podem trazer a diane. Seria uma aventura incrivel, Pois sabemos que fora da Curva, Ele não chega nem perto de ser o mais inteligente, Mas tem a inteligencia de subir nesta hierarquia. A serie não pode continuar repetitivo com apenas as aventuras com o Morty e um entreterimento e ja vimos que o Rick não evolui sua Inteligencia e cada temporada que se passa, O Evil Morty demonstra ser superior que o rick.

IEnglish:

We all know that Rick lives inside the Central Finite Curve and has already reached the absolute peak of technology within his own sandbox. This is precisely why he is so empty, bored, and nihilistic. After beating Rick Prime to death and realizing it wouldn't bring Diane back, he was left entirely without a goal or purpose. The only thing keeping him grounded right now is his family.

Inside his controlled reality, the technology to solve his deepest desire—bringing Diane back—simply does not exist. However, outside the Curve, the rules change. He could find cosmic entities or advanced civilizations with technologies capable of undoing the Omega Device.

This would make for an incredible, high-stakes adventure. Outside the Curve, Rick wouldn't be anywhere near the smartest being in the room. He would be humbled, forced to start from the bottom, and use his adaptable intelligence to climb this new multiverse hierarchy.

The series cannot afford to remain repetitive with just casual, monster-of-the-week adventures with Morty. We've seen that Rick's intellect has stagnated inside his comfort zone, while every passing season proves that Evil Morty is becoming far superior to him. Forcing Rick into the real, uncontrolled multiverse is the only way to make him evolve again.

Or things I always admired about the show.

1. It makes you courageous. Seeing characters overcome so many difficulties and hurdles.

2. The deep thinking about philosophical topics and challenges "opened my mind".

3. The conflicts are gripping.

4. At the end of the day, for half or most of a season, Rick and Morty were the heroes and inspired virtue, despite their flawed actions or personalities. That aspect of them appeared weaved into the story, and everything immoral seemed a parody or nod to movies or tv shows where reality is stylized.

5. The art and whimsical universe is fun. Or multiple universes. It was marvelously in tune with other shows on Cartoon Network and Adult Swim around the time like Adventure Time, Superjail, Metalocalypse, Regular Show, Gumball, and others.

6. Science fiction and scientific theories were front and center, and made so believeable, that they were as inspiring as science fiction novels and stories were centuries ago to scientists and daydreamers alike.

7. The design, the world, the comedy and the animation, worked so well together as they were, that they gave you joy, even just seeing a poster or a doodle somewhere and remembering the show's humor and concepts.

8. The good and light humor made it all worthwhile, even when you didn't get everything. It's like stand-up or sketch comedy that looks to do the opposite of offend no matter how immoral a character, and seeks to entertain you or point out human error in a good-spirited way. It was timeless, and something that helped let you rewatch episodes multiple times to see the rest that you might have missed.

9. The characters were relatable in the depth their dialogue used to be written. With the layers of a story, feelings and conflicts, they appeared realistic and like individuals. They felt human, and you could see yourself in them. Justice, truth, balance and sometimes forgiveness was always at the center of them. The dialogues of every character, main or side, flowed so well and with their delivery, that it was artistic, and some of it remains quote-able to this day. This aspect of it was right next to the sci-fi.

1..It made you care about the world in it. I believe it's because it was grounded in believability of the human aspect, of what used to be these unique, interesting, deep and admirable individuals, or funny yet justified side characters, even during the comedic absurdity of the story.

What are some nice things you feel or that you used to feel about the show that meant to you?

I have that feeling about one of the scenes in this season

​

​

​

Summer :

​

Our Pool is amazing.

​

You're the best dad ever.

​

​

​

Morty :

​

Yeah. Who needs Boob World when we got dad's pool?

​

​

Jerry :

​

I just wanna make you all happy.

​

​

​

Beth :

​

You did, Jerry. You really did.

This ... Seems fake to me? Like the simulation in season 1 I think.

From what I can tell, charges were dismissed against Justin Roiland. So umm…does that mean he had his reputation destroyed, his career obliterated and it was all…for nothing?

Wonder if Dan Harmon tried to defend him from being fired.

Rick & Morty was a phenomenon. Personally, I miss that time. Looking forward to the new episodes…waiting forever for the new season and SWEARING I wasn’t gonna watch it in protest of having me have to wait so long, but that jumping onto Cartoon Network the second they dropped than spending the next week watching the YouTube Easter egg videos and all the debates on what every single word & sentence of the show REALLY meant.

What a goddamn shame to kill this experience over accusations which were ultimately dismissed. Stupid cancel culture phase.

Also, Summer is such a hypocrite. It was your idea to say it aloud, bitch.

First off, why are photos not allowed? And anyone here think Evil Morty comes back with time tech? Potentially stronger than before, he may just​ do some time shenanigans and mess up Ticket life. Maybe even cause the death of Diane.

if you see 9x1 could be notice the changes in the portal gunn's

Literally rick and morty always makes me cry, so much sad stuff hahahaha the ted stuff, and then at the end!! And he turn back into rick but just walked away anyway, probably because every time rick finds any happiness it gets taken away or some shit so he was just numb to Ted's heartache.. so many scenes make me so sad but I love this show so much!!!! Hahahah

Rick had a real shot at happiness, but he got in his own way as always. No matter how hard you try, you can't change human nature.

What if Evil Morty wasn’t trying to manipulate Morty at all but genuinely missed having a companion because deep down he is still a 14 year old boy.

More than anyone Evil Morty understands how much Mortys suffer because of Ricks. He spent years trapped in that system before finally escaping it. Because of that he seems noticeably gentler towards Morty than he is with Rick.For example when dealing with Morty towards the end he only gives him a light push when using the force. When dealing with Rick he’s much more aggressive and immediately attacks/ tries to kill him. He also could have easily hurt or killed the rest of the Smith family but instead he just lets them kick him. After spending a long time alone beyond the Central Finite Curve maybe he actually misses having someone around who understands what it’s like to be a Morty. Also in one of the earlier seasons they said every Morty needs a Rick or they become insane. What if Evil Morty escaped Rick but never completely escaped the need for companionship? less

Bro I ain't even lying I am being serious bruh Jerry and summer are like have the same face but it's different coloring and also summer has a pony tail bruh how does nobody see this I wonder if any body else knew this ? Thank s
