Y'all please forgive how absolutely tired I sound in this video! Rick and Morty season 5 has come to a close with probably the biggest season finale we’ve ever seen from the series. Honestly, this might be the biggest EPISODE in the entire series, in just about every measurable way. The scale was massive, the storylines it followed up were the most desired, the back story reveals were incredibly thorough, and the cliffhanger left us with some of the biggest and most fascinating implications of any Rick and Morty story so far. So let’s dive in and not only talk about this finale, but season 5 as a whole and our expectations for season 6. Aka, Rick and Morty Season 5's Ending Explained

Hey y'all if you liked this analysis I've got a podcast with ToonrificTariq and we covered the first 4 seasons of Rick and Morty! Check out the first here: th-cam.com/video/q1pBivHePfQ/w-d-xo.html
all the mortys are smart and doing the same with ricks on the other side
THE CAT
Also what about Doffus rick? why was he in that curb
I don't think the yellow portal color has any significance other than the fact it may be used to show it's gonna be eyepatch morty coming through when it pops up. the reason why I think that is that if the green color was supposed to represent travel only within the central finite curve why was it green before the central finite curve was even made by c-137?
Wait a second. Does that mean that Doofus Rick is actually the most dominant power in his Universe?
There is a Universe even dumber than ours? That's nice!
So that's why all those abandoned Beths keep saying her dad abandoned her. He didn't abandon her. He died. Well. Their Rick died. That's fucking nuts.
Whoa I didn’t realise that until you pointed it out, as Rick C-137 was going around killing all the Rick’s
@@alyssium9964 which is nuts. Since he never left her on his own accord. That's deep. And he has to hear Beth calling him a shit father because of all the damage he's done and all the Ricks he killed.
Wow, so Rick was never really a bad father. None of the father/daughter issues he or any Rick had was his fault, but he still has to accept it because he still had a hand in her being abandoned.
I thought most Ricks chose to leave their families on their own Accord, which is why they are so threatened by a Rick like C-137 who chose to stay.
Ie, it is expected for a Rick to abandon his family in pursuit of the infinite. To become a god. Which is why the Simple Rick's candy sells so well.
damn i never thought about it like that
It's interesting, because honestly, despite Evil Morty being sick of Rick, he's probably the most Rick-like Morty we've ever seen. In fact, I'm pretty sure he made his own version of portal fluid. He's incredibly intelligent, incredibly desensitized, and bested every single Rick in the Citadel along with ours.
Rick may be the Rickest Rick, and Morty may be the Mortyest Morty, but Evil Morty is the Rickest Morty. Though I think we've all guessed that a long time ago.
and doofus rick is the mortyest rick
I actually think he's Ricker then the Rickest Rick.
@@gortmo Actually, I think Doofus Rick is the Jerryist Rick.
Maybe the evil Morty is not a Morty but disguised evil Rick that killed Beth and Diane.
@@atiqazfar855 it could be
This means that Doofus Rick is canonically the most dominant being in his universe.
Then whats in the universe of Tall Morty
@@bnd8469 probably sweet home Alabama accident. I’m kidding please
Duh, hes probably from a universe where everybody is a doofus, just as fascist teddy bear rick was from a universe where everybody is a fascist teddy bear.
It could be tall morty was the smartest until an incidicent happened, like how Ricks can still go to other universes where their other selves have died.
I believe the logic is if a rick dies where he was once the smartest, then no matter the threat another rick would be able to handle it if necessary.
@@Lelouchxzero1 remember that teliscope the devil sold to Rick which would've made him a retard if he used it? I guess tall Morty is a Rick who fell for that
Imagine running into a happy rick who lives with his wife. She only died because they are stuck in the system, there are infinite Ricks on the other side who gave up science and lives a happy and normal life.
Basically Simple Rick. "60 iterations off the Central Finite Curve...." They legit kidnapped a fucking happy rick
@@kennajin3390 I thought about that as well... so fucked up, haha. But like Rick said, "I can't be responsible for every asshole rick out there." Seems like something some "citadel of rick" corpos would come up with.
Honestly, I think this may be one of the bigger things Rick could have been running from when he made his own little multiverse to live in. Not just other beings smarter and more powerful than Rick that could threaten him, but just the idea that there are Ricks out there that are happy, humble and peaceful. So much of Rick's suffering is self-inflicted, and he uses his intelligence as a way to shield himself from responsibility for that. He's built an entire existence in order to validate the fact that he's miserable.
Because Rick is smart, things must be this way. It's his burden to bear for being the best at everything ever. But the existence of anyone, especially a Rick, who's just as smart and capable but is living a better life is probably far more threatening to our Rick than any slimy alien monster that's going to come from the other side of the wall.
Rick didn't just create his pocket multiverse to ensure his safety and supremacy, but to maintain the beliefs he wants to hold about himself and existence at large. Anything that would challenge him or make him uncomfortable isn't allowed.
@@kennajin3390 But how? If the whole purpose of the Curve is to separate them, and we saw what lengths Evil Morty had to go through to break through it...I guess Simple Rick must have been on the Citadel before the Curve was created?
@@maxkalbach2438 I saw this proposed theory on Reddit and I really like it. It's possible that the Curve had nothing to do with C-137's desire to feel supremacy or even safety...that was just a ploy to get the other Ricks to go along with it. In reality, C-137 made it to keep the Ricks who would drop a bomb on Beth and Diane, apart from the others. So that what happened to him could never happen again.
I came to the thought that the Central Finite curve was created to also trap the Rick that killed Diane and Beth so that C-137 could (eventually) kill him.
You sir are a genuis
I thought the same thing!
Couldnt he just run away then? Every rick just gather together to form the citadel and create the finite curve. My guess is he was always outside of the curve then entire time.
Yeah I figured that as well
Rick said it was more complicated than what was revealed so the cfc being a cage makes sense. Rick's can't go to other worlds and "hurt" them
Evil Morty really took Rick’s advice about breaking the cycle to heart.
True😂😂
Break the cycle Morty be more
Evil Morty is just sick of Rick ...
🤯🤯🤯🤯
“If you’ve ever been sick of him, then you’ve been evil”
That’s actually a really good analogy of the mindset of the fanbase
I think that with evil Morty they did the idea of the “sympathetic villain” better than most other things these days. A lot of times they’ll get so caught up in the “sympathetic” part that they undermine the “villain” part.
Evil Morty’s motives are sympathetic. Rick is an asshole and wanting to escape his influence is something that you can sympathize with him on. However, he is still a clear-cut villain. Despite these sympathetic motives, Evil Morty himself is not sympathetic. He doesn’t care about the other Morties; he uses them as slave labor (see: the deformed sewer Morties) and is perfectly content with killing them along with the Ricks when destroying the Citadel. This is exemplified perfectly in the moments immediately preceding the destruction of the citadel. Evil Morty offers “our” Morty a supposed chance to escape with him, but when that offer is rejected, Evil Morty callously reveals that he had no actual intention of taking anyone else with him anyway. That’s him in a nutshell.
He says that what makes him “evil” is being sick of Rick. It isn’t. What makes him evil is that he’s a hypocritical sociopath who’s willing to murder thousands of his own kind in order to benefit himself and only himself.
To us, real living people your last line is very true for why he would be evil.
But he is saying why he is the EVIL Morty to RICK not to anyone else.
Rick has zero care for the idea of slaughtering millions of intelligent beings and a complete lack of remorse if he thinks he's even remotely in the right or it gives him something he wants.
That is quite LITERALLY what he is saying and you completely missed the point.
In a society built entirely by Ricks and Morty's our morals no longer matter in the slightest. They live in an entirely separate society.
At the most basic level he is evil for two entirely separate reasons, that can never be simultaneously true. He cannot both be evil for killing tons of people AND evil for wanting to get away from Rick.
You are right. But in all of this evil Morty has proven that he has essentially become exactly like Rick. Through his actions it has become painfully obvious that he is the only other being aside main Rick himself, who's actually happened and adopted Rick's philosophy that none of this matters. That nothing you've done and will ever do makes a difference. That's why killing Ricks, Mortys, and anyone is nothing to him. None of this mattered shit for as long as he is there. In the Rickverse. And he alone found a way to escape it. To run away from the things that don't matter. The guy isn't evil. He suffered, rebelled, fought, and won.
How I interpret it is that he just wants his life to have meaning fundamentally. Right now he is trapped in a prison that he had no control or say in bred for the purpose of being a convenience to Rick kind. He doesn’t like the fact that he exists in a small infinite of multiverses where every decision ultimately can be dictated by Rick and that his most reduced value in life is being a commodity to Rick. He rejects the premise of that existence and wants something more. He’s not necessarily evil just more independent thinking and acting and is sick of being lorded over by someone he hates
@@Dakamaru I see what you're saying but like, he did blender people alive.
@@averyh5303 so would every other Rick and probably a good chunk of Mortys- most Mortys are evil, but the reason Evil Morty has the capitalization is because in addition to being generally a mass murderer, he also opposes Ricks, thus defying his purpose as a Morty.
Fun thing I noticed, when Rick is first messing with portal tech in the S3 opener the portals are Blue (his shirt color), his interdimensional portal color is Green (a combination of his color and Morty's) and Evil Morty's portal is Yellow his color. It could signify that Morty has fully left behind Rick and made everything purely his color.
bit has been explains that bue portals exists and arent ricks discovery , they are used to travel through space only and not dimensions , the green portal travels dimesnions and i guess that the yellow one travels every dimension including the ones filtered out
@@OmagaProject What about the blue portal
@@TheFunnyGuy9000 reread what i've wrote
@@OmagaProject ok
@Zeno he had to escape the finite curve first
Just imagine Jerry: the smartest man in the universe is a possibility now.
Infinite universes does not mean infinite possibilities. It is possible there is no universe in the multiverse where Jerry is the smartest.
@@jouaienttoi infinite universes actually does mean infinite possibilities, there has to be at least 1 universe where jerry is the smartest
@@bourne8636 the numbers 2 and 3 have infinite numbers between them (2,1 2,01 2,001 ...) but none of those numbers are 4 or 5. Infinite universes doesn't mean every fathomable and unfathomable possibility occurs.
Jerry with confidence is the most dangerous man in the universe .
@@SiggiHar Thats basically what the Central Finite Curve is. Inbetween numbers 1 and 2 is all the universes where rick is the smartest. Outside that, we have every other number. So I would say that there is an infinite amount of universes where Jerry is the smartest man alive. Just not in the CFC
When Young Rick experiments with portal fluid the fluid is blue (just like Rick's blue shirt). Evil Morty's portal colour is yellow (just like Morty's yellow shirt). Mixing blue and yellow makes green, which is the classic portal colour because Rick has Morty he gets green portals.
Ooh awesome use of color theory dude
I think these colors actually have deeper meaning within the infinite multiverse. Maybe each color is a different section
@@BluJay_Rx hmm, does that mean that in this theory he would be going to a universe dominated by morties?
@@anormalguy8407 it's possible. Heck anything is possible now that the entirety of the multiverse is "unlocked"
I think blue is just teleportation and green can do dimensional travel
Morty made his own portal juice.
Yea
His spacesuit was yellow too, just like his t-shirt.
Kinky
He just used Crush Orange instead of Mountain Dew
@@VeganSemihCyprus33 hello plant brother
Rejection seemed to be the common theme throughout this season. Rick is rejected by that alien with the elbow tiddies, the crows, bird person, etc. He rejects Mr Nimbus. Morty had a heartbreaking episode where he had to reject planetina, and he had to reject evil Morty in the end. Evil Morty rejects the multiverse he was created in and the Rick who made it.
And I reject this comment that made me realize this 😂😥
I feel like one of the primary writers is going through some shit.
@@propheinx2250 I think Harmon went through a divorce in 2015, plus there’s mr Poopybutthole’s monolouge at the end so it definitely checks out.
@@geraldodelrivero8982 yeah, it was the Mr Poopybutthole part that really pushed me to that theory.
@@blackgatecertified6952 The Rick who killed C-137s family had his offer rejected… it goes deeper haha
when pirate morty walked into the yellow circle... i felt that
I thought he was black eyed maorty
Isn’t he evil morty
Dad when does your next video come out
You're a Rick and Morty fan? Awesome!
@@MarkerMurker I'm pretty sure people who clicked are mostly fans
I think Morty went to a multiverse where Morty is the dominant force…
Wouldn't shock me if there was a whole multiverse set where each member of the smith family is hyper intelligent and has their own citadel. Imagine a whole citadel of hyper intelligent Jerries that are fully aware of how their Rick Multiverse doubles were being treated and decided to launch a full scale attack on Rick.
The funny part is. That might be one of the reasons why Rick keeps treating Jerry so badly. Maybe in his travels. He found a whole multiverse of hyper intelligent Jerries got scared and built the Wall around Infinity.
@@furionmax7824 there is a comic, I think where Jerry is hyper intelligent and have many beths .plus I think he's evil also
@@luciisladica7060 wow. So Jerry is hyper intelligent AND he's got a harem? And of the same woman? Least we can't say Jerry ain't loyal. Having a harem is one thing but having a harem of multiple versions of your wife. That's loyalty right there.
I think it would be better if it where like a thanos end. He just goes back to a normal life.
i agree but i think by Morty is being the dominant force its because he is the only force
Along with the green and yellow portals, there's also a blue portal seen in the pilot (of which Rick turns into a green one) and it's also seen in the flashback when Rick invents the portal gun.
blue teleports between space, green between universes.
@@TheDarkMaster312 and yellow between multiverses... maybe?
Nah it’s cause morty wears yellow and Rick wears blue which makes green. But now morty is by himself so it’s just yellow🤯
@@jakefromstatefarm3774 how does that explain the portal turning green after ricks wife and kid dies
@@squid_cake probably
I like the idea that upon realizing the multiverse is infinite. He MADE a section of the multiverse finite in order to try to give it meaning. What happens here stays here, and evolves from what came before. It's him fighting back against the thing he has constantly complained about in nearly every episode. He knows he won't succeed but it's like he can't not fight back. When he tries to not care he ends up "caring" in his weird way.
If you cut infinite in half, you get two separate infinities. So technically he didnt make his multimeter finite, he just separated the multiverse into two sections
He didn't made a finite section, he made a portion of the infinity accessible. A portion of infinity still equals infinity. You must understand infinities are weird and not all are born equal. For example the set of real numbers is a bigger infinity than than the set of natural numbers but both sets are still infinite
@@jakeswagerson9941 Nobody said anything about cutting infinity in half, dummy. Rick simply isolated a bunch of universes from the rest of the multiverse.
If you have an infinite amount of rabbits and you try count 10 of them, you don't suddenly get "infinity" as an answer.
I mean, this set of universes is even called a *finite* curve.
@@blinded6502 there are an infinite number of realities where Rick is the smartest, and an infinite number of realities where he is not.
@@blinded6502 No he didn't do that, he basically filtered all the universes where he wasn't the smartest and removed them from being easily accessible. Infinity is still infinity no matter what and he didn't limit the number of universes that can be in there. Like I said earlier he just made it so the ones accessible are basically his. He's "god" when under the curve.
Can’t wait to get “Evil” Morty in Season 7. Like really, he only makes major appearances in every other season. He first appeared in Season 1, had a big role in Season 3 and now appeared in Season 5.
He made a cameo past season in the train episode.
he was in season 4 in the train episode but it wasn’t canon, they put him in to fuck with us
I mean, they can subvert our expectations and make him appear even earlier.
Where was he in season one?
I think ep10. The debut episode of evil Morty that was also mentioned in this episode.
It's crazy how they actually make you feel good for "evil" Morty. He really made it out.
Why is evil in quotes?
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 watch the episode 💀
@@Maskon2Fite I did when I made the comment. He murdered millions of morties
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 yeah but did u listen to his reasoning? Man's got a point, and he's gone thru tons of shit. He's done bad, and he's the antagonist of the story sure. But he's not "evil"
@@Maskon2Fite His reasoning does not justify killing and torturing millions of Morty. Getting out of the finite curve was a selfish motivation. It tells a lot about your person that you would sympathize with his reasoning.
I love the curve as a concept, it implies that Rick created a container that keeps himself and everyone else within the multiverses in which he is the smartest, but there is implied to be infinite universes, so infinite universes in which he is the smartest and infinite universes in which he's not. Making the entire thing 10x more complex
I heard someone explain it like:
There are infinite numbers between 1 and 2 (1.1 1.4 1.827 1.3863589 So on so forth). There are infinite numbers between 2 and 3, 3 and 4, and so on so forth. The central Finite Curve is every universe between 1-2 which has Rick as the supremely intelligent being who hates themself. So there are infinite universes where Rick is that but outside the central finite curve, anything is possible (Perhaps one where Jerry is a powerful, interstellar businessman, or one where Rick is just as intelligent but he lives a happy life with his daughter still alive).
I think this is the first time I’ve ever been left speechless after finishing an episode , all I can say is that it’s really good.
SAME
i can agree, especially that evil morty remix sng
I had to rewatch it like twice and I was still wowed
This show is really amazing
😲 wow. This is setting concrete foundations with the cannon. Season 6, moving forward, is completely wide open. Some one off dumb Rick stories would be funny...🤭
When Rick was saying “fine, but as soon as he reveals he’s evil” I was scared evil morty was just gonna be killed and we’d get no payoff. That’s how it felt when we first saw how Dianne and Beth died but Rick then said it was a fabricated origin story. Like when morty saw Ricks whole true backstory Rick said “finally everyone can shut up about it” lol they know we want it and they’ll make fun of us for the theories and everything
Yeah the show subverts stuff a lot and the writers openly hate serialization/canon I half expected Evil-Morty to be dealt with as a one-off gag just as a f-u and to get rid of him. It was half-surprising he got a solid payoff
@@MinuteLeech2 He could have been shot in the head while monologing. Killed off like Tammi in the season 4 finale. They want to steer away from serialisation but there’s some serialisation in the show that I really like, like project Phoenix from the tiny Rick episode coming back in the season 4 premiere and again in the season 5 finale. There’s the graves of the dead Rick and Morty in the backyard, Summer went and retrieved that Ricks portal gun. There’s space Beth.
The serialization is the best part of the show, keeping things moving and evolving, if they scrap it the show would turn stale after a season, two at most
@@macanaeh
That's why the show has been stagnating for so long. Every episode has more become wacky reference comedy, with the small tease of an actual interesting story just shat out.
@@gatst7680 I'm gonna be a bit controversial here, but it's very very rare for a show to be good while maintaining the status quo and not moving forward at all. There is only so much you can do with unchanging characters and frozen relationships between them. Serialization allows for character growth, character arcs, meaningful consequences, longer storylines and actual emotional impact, all of which makes for much better entertainment
Honestly, I was rooting for evil Morty. The show pretty much makes out Rick to be an absolute monster. I’m glad evil Morty I was able to leave. I actually felt a sense of relief for him when he finally left. He was able to gain freedom.
The fact that evil morty succeeded in escaping the central finite curve means he's very smart. And implies that mortys are far more capable than we had thought
Technically, each Morty has unlimited potential to be anything, even better than Rick. It’s just that the Ricks’ influence hinders that potential, and Evil Morty was able to overcome that hindrance
@@adenosinetriphosphate2494 yeah cause his Rick is dead.
See Morty in the episode where he removed his toxins. It's his insecurities that keep him from being unstoppable.
@@raphaelnascimentosilvestre7434 exatly, nd he didn't want them back!!
@@son3893 bro im baked as hell. I read all of these comments and my mind is blown. This is the best show imo. So much detail you have to watch them all over and over.
I always thought there was a limit to the number of universes Rick could access. Rick goes on about the infinite realities yet he quantifies the multiverse so many times.
yup
"There's an infinite amount of universes out there but we only have a limited amount of times we can do the whole bailing on a reality thing."
Yeah, in hindsight, the whole thing has been suspicious for a really long time.
yeah and the fact every rick was accounted for too in a way that there cant be more than 52000 Ricks assuming that there are 26 possible first letters, 3 numbers and a A or B, like Rick C-137 or wea saw the news anchors that were same combination but with an A or a B at the end.
There cant be infinite anything. Its logical imposibility. For example, if Rick portals to a dimension, it means infinite ricks also portal to that dimension destroying it with its infinite mass. See how apsurd it is?
I thought it was suspicious there was only one citadel, like with infinite Ricks there should be infinite Ricks who want to live on and work in the Citadel, so there would have to be infinite Citadels.
I think rick's removing their multiverses from all of them is an even better showing of just how insecure rick truly is, He's so scared to not be the smartest person in all of the multiverses that he cut off the rest of the multiverse
And now with President Morty seemingly going off into new realities where Rick isn't the smartest means that he may very well be welcomed in those universes like a hero. He is still evil, so this may be a gambit to gain even more power down the line. Sort of like the Citadel times all the aforementioned realities. Man, I sound like Rick or Morty just talking about it.
This kind of reflects what our Rick said about "doing this 3-4 more times" it's that they are secluded from the infinite universes, it was quite literal, and if Rick kept on hopping and replacing other Rick and Mortys then the others will know and will start the whole process of exterminating him again
I don't know. I figured this as well, but it could also be about Rick hunting down the Rick that killed his wife, basically putting them all in a separate universe where they can do little harm.
smartest Ricks tend to be very manipulative... As we can see with the Citadel itself.
I don't think that's a show of insecurity. If he can do it, it's a smart choice for loads of reasons
Lets not forget - that even though the "multiverse" was "split in half", they are both still infinite. Half of infinity is still infinity - it is a smaller pool, but an infinite smaller pool.
Now if that were true then when Rick and Morty switch families in the cronenburg episode he says they can only do that a few more times? If this was an "infinite pool" they should be able to do it infinite times.
Not half.....he just circumvent infinity to favor his ambition
@@knightacedia Not necessarily. Consider the set of all Whole Numbers, which is infinite. You can then narrow that down to the set of all Whole Numbers that are comprised of only a single digit, which only includes nine possibilities (or ten, if you include "zero," or 19, if you include -9 through -1--it's been years, and I forget if zero and negative numbers can be considered "whole numbers").
I'm pretty high rn, but what if the Ricks from this multiverse are all from the same cut off point time wise. They all have the same memories and past, up until one point in time (hence the reason we have never seen a Rick without a teleporter). This would mean the pool is infinite but only from that point onwards. The other multiverse could be from before this point in time, where each Rick has a completely different past before this cut off point and could be completely different from the Ricks we see. Infinite possibilities from infinite timelines which begin from the beginning of Ricks life rather than mid way through.
@@knightacedia yea but there's a infinite number of universes where they're alive. Infinite number of universes that are already cronenbruged, infinite number of universe... the list goes on, so that's hard finding a universe that fits your parameters
One of the major implications:
Dumb Rick is the smartest being in his universe.
How about the fact that Rick never actually killed the Rick that was responsible for killing his family. I think that will come up later and I think he escaped the central finite curve to hide from C-137 Rick once he realized what he was capable of
This Rick could have been escaped like you said but remember in episode 10 "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind" the controlled evil Rick shows our Rick a list of the evillest Ricks and between our Rick and the controlled one is another Rick. A one even eviller than both of them ... and it could be that this Rick is the same who killed Diane and Beth
Finally! Glad someone else realized it too.
Or maybe he is the one who abandoned Beth, you know, Morty's "true" grandpa
@@jordiruiz3793 a lot of Ricks leave Beth. Its common enough that young Rick mentioned it in the Bird Person episode.
@@marioxzzz yes but the best revenge would be killing that Rick and then taking his Beth.
Imagine that other threat to be an "Evil" Jerry.... would explain Rick's unreasonable disdain for Jerries in general
If I remember correctly, there IS an evil Jerry... Just in the comics though...
i think there is
There a smart jerry from a doofus rick dimension in the comics that brought down the entire citadel
@@highlander2319 i wonder if the evil jerry also found out what evil morty knew when he took the citadel?
@@badumtss4032 Evil Jerry took place during the time that Evil Morty wasnt the president, so somewhere around S2 E1 and S3 E7.
I very much doubt that he knew about Evil Morty.
I respect the hell out of "evil" morty. He officially liberated himself and made a hell of a statement.
hell yeah
I actually rooted for him...
He committed systematic genocide tho. So has rick, on many many occasions, but still. None are heroes
@@dannyboy4682 there aren't many (if any) redeeming characters on the show in general. But it was nice to see the character development of this morty and see him take his life and future into his own hands.
@@Alirezarz62 I didn't at first, then I realized his plight and thought good for him lol.
Note, the Citadel itself was the foundation of the Central Curve, so now that it was destroyed by Evil Morty, that means the curve itself is likely unwinding (What was observed in Evil Morty's hologram after passing through "The breach").
This likely facilitated the formation of the new portal fluid as the destruction of the curve would likely result in some changes on how universes are linked/could be traversed.
It also likely is part of the reason why RIck tossed his portal gun as he was the one who made the Citadel and the Curve itself, so he would know that even if he could repair the gun as it was, he would have to go back to the drawing board on it because of what Evil Morty did.
But then why was it green before he invented the finite curve?
I think the implementation of the central finite curve had two functions. For the citadel, to wall themselves off from smarter/more dangerous beings. For our Rick, a way narrow down the universes in which Diane and Beth's killer resides.
I dont understand why a being outside of the CFC would be smarter than a rick inside of it. The universes are infinite in both cases which means that there will always be a smarter rick. The word ‘infinity’ really confuses me in this show.
@@karelw.4390 Yeah I am seeing all these comments and it is making it worse. The only implication I got from CFC was that it was ONLY made for Rick to seek revenge on that original Rick. I believe this because someone that powerful and smart who isn't him in other universes would act similar to the Ricks, because they are also the smartest people in their universe. And the word infinity is infinitely inconsistent in Rick and morty as well as the term for dimensions. The very end also made me think they were resetting the show and either are making it canonical or an episode basis because how many times they broke the 4th wall and mentioned how the series is made. Which means they are setting up the next five seasons. I personally think evil morty will never show up again or he will be in the series consistently, no in-between.
@@patrickwilliams7496 why would he never show up again?
@@karelw.4390 The Rick specifically walled off all the universes where Rick is a genius. President Morty being outside of that wall doesn't make him smarter than Rick, he just wants to escape the shitty system.
@@gracekim25 because the way the broke the 4th wall it made it seem like they just wanted to get evil morty out of the way to continue on with the show. There is also no reason Rick would want to fight evil morty or have any relationship with him or vice versa. On the flip side he is a huge and highly anticipated character. Why do u think he would make a return?
Man, seeing Rick's portal gun fry when he takes it out and then seeing him just toss it because he realizes it's useless now made me sad for some reason.
I took it as a symbolism for how Rick is done living as a ghost because his actions actually have consequences from now on.
While the idea of threats from beyond the Central Finite Curve are cool, I honestly wish eyepatch Morty the best and hope he finds happiness. My favorite part of the episode was the little smile he gave when he broke through the barrier between the multiverses. I like the idea that somewhere out there, there is Morty who is free from Rick and is happy because of it.
Now it makes more sense why Rick always says to Morty "we can only do this a few more times" when they have to bail on a particular universe because they messed up the planet. If it were the complete multiverse, why would there be a limit?
I wasn’t the only one that was happy for “Evil” Morty, right?
I was entirely on his side at the end and I’m glad he got out.
I legitimately hope he isn't killed off. He deserves a Rick-free life.
He still killed innocent mortys
@@nuvreau1902 Yeah he killed them but to be fair, he saw them as versions of himself that literally weren't meant to exist and only existed because of the interference of Ricks
yeah the reason for that was because we were aII pissed seeing rick get his way for such a Iong time that we were happy somebody stood up to him
@@nuvreau1902 unfortunately the show has thoroughly desensitized me to Morty death 🤷🏾♀️
I was actually really surprised when they fully went with destroying the citadel. I am also curious to see where they go with the portal gun since they imply it is fried and the technology is useless. This season was already really light on Portal Gun use but bow it seems lime they are setting it up so Rick can't run from his problems anymore, that he is instead permenantly stuck with the "C-137" family and has to defend them if he want's them in his life, actually making them matter. Course, the C-137 is in quotes because there has been so much 3 card monte play with this family, who knows what dimension they are in now or if it is the same family from Rick Potion No 9.
it makes sense why they destroyed it. they broke the foruth wall multiple times in the episode and basically said they are tired of fans asking about the citidal. so they destroyed it
But here is the thing, aren't they trapped in the citadel dimension? correct me if im wrong but isn't the citadel in another dimension?
People over thinking again. You don´t seem to learn the lesson.
They did this episode so fans would stop obsessing with evil morty and "canon". Now they could leave that story alone for a while and just write regular sitcom type episodes.
He’s going to have a new portal gun episode one of next season. That is guaranteed.
This was exactly what the show needed to shake things up, the lack of progression was hurting the show now the story is finally bigger than rick I expect great things.
They literally dropped ricks entire past which is huge, I'm pumped for the new season and possible plots they will give the show.
You could say, they opened up a portal to new content
Imagine on the other side of the CFC is a Jerry that surpasses all Ricks
Evil Jerry
Or Beth or summer it’s infinite
I approve of this story thread
Or a universe where the only life form is some ultra jerry
A whole nother curve where Morty's are in charge of ricks.
evil morty got what he wanted. we probably wont see him for a long time which is good since he left on a really high note. what was left is more story and adventures to explore and possibly new villains to fight.
I think the only way we'll see him again is at the series finale.
@@johndicks819 it was extremely obvious that the writers want nothing more to do with him. The citadel too. I feel like the Citadel of Ricks was just something fun the writers wanted to do but fan speculation exploded around it and they've felt boxed in by it ever since.
@@propheinx2250 well if the writers don't want to do anything with the best parts of the show anymore its obvious the show won't be as good as it was anymore.
@@propheinx2250 the Citadel itself have plot since the first appearance. Heck, if they want nothing to do with the citadel, them they can easily make Evil Rick the real villain and not a robot controlled by evil morty. Also the others Ricks makes tons of reference about Rick being involved with them in the past. And the creators brought back twice the citadel in third season, with more deph involved. If some one is to blame for the show having canon, than is the writers themselfs, altrough this is the best part of the show.
@@sonofcronos7831 did you not watch the episode or something? The citadel is destroyed and evil Morty jettisoned himself outside the central finite curve. I don't think it gets more obvious that they're no longer a part of the show going further.
I wish Rick and Morty could give us more than 10 episodes every 3 years… i mean this show has been out since 2013 and we have 51 episodes. If this were an anime it would be easily 500 episodes by now not saying that more episodes is necessarily better but come on… 51 episodes in 8 years…
if this were an anime it would have been cancelled at season 1
Look at the last 2 seasons, they came out relatively fast, within about one year or so from each other. They also said that it will be coming out much faster than usually and at a consistent rate, pretty sure they already said they have most of the writing done for the next few seasons.
Also have to take into fact that the animators (Starburn Ind.)are a different company from the writers and producers and such, and they are always animating multiple different projects.
Just be patient 🤦🏽♂️
if you knew how toxic Japanese work culture is, you'd know why anime comes out asfrequently and well produced as it does.
Stay mad Bobby Hill
I thought the Finite curve was just Rick cherry-picking the multiverse where he's the Smartest man in every universe. so he doesn't have to deal with the "real world". where he isn't the most powerful. He didn't do it to close himself off from more powerful threats; but to close himself off from Universes where he's just an average loser who lost his wife and kids
and what about the former scientist known as rick?
there are multiple universes mentioned that seem to not have any ricks present, like those universes that are just full of sawblades ect. Not to mention universes where people are made of pizza ect. Maybe this shows that the central finite curve is just either where rick is top dog, or where theres no-one smarter than the 'average' rick. It also explains 'evil' mortys comments about the central finite curve being a crib for a baby.
@@dannyboy4682 there's probably a pizza rick out there, or a universe where rick died, or a universe where all life died.

It's interesting because they said in the "inside the episode" bit that they had been delaying this episode because of how it's going to change the show. So series 6 onwards. There's no going back.
At 7:21 I started realizing that this is just another tier to the "multiverse battery" concept. Ricks whole central finite curve is just another car battery in a multidimensional O'Reilly.
With so many continuities answered now, I HAVE to go back and binge watch it all back to back. Fantastic video btw
season5 episode 10 has got to be one of the best endings to a season of any show ever, i felt so emotional knowing that rick and morty will never be the same again and the evil morty music at the end almost made me cry it was that amazing.
I was very surprised that they went full cannon with Rick, since Harmon has said numerous times that they weren't planning on ever explaining Rick's whole backstory
yeah but its been 5 seasons
Ha! I don’t believe he was ever serious if he ever said that
like he said, now you can shut up about it
@@SirThomasBarone but why ?
@@petiteexplication6249 because rick said so
I just realized that they made the name “evil morty” canon
I'm excited, but I'm also curious, if the smartest being will always have portal tech, who's saying that President Morty gets to escape the spiral? It's possible that he just enters a universal where he's top dog doing all the shit Rick did, or others doing the same. Is he really escaping? Or just prolonging his inevitable shift into Rick.
I also thought about it like the way you did. I just think evil morty is rick but at a very young age. Maybe he will eventually miss rick so much he starts to act like him. Slowly shifting in the rick we all know. And to make sure the cycle continues he goes back in time to simple rick and asks him if he wants to be the most smartest man in the universe. Simple rick declines. Evil morty( who shifted his life like rick) denies his answer only for him to kill his own family just to get rick to the point he is now. Just a theory though😁
I was left speechless by the finale. The entire season has been pretty light hearted here and there and it just dropped a bomb on us at the end. Its pretty bold how they destroyed the citadel and the portal gun since it means theres no longer a backup option when they die and they cant ever escape their problems anymore. I really am hoping how it would get addressed by the next season.
Theory: The Ricks, in their insatiable desire for Mortys, began kidnapping Mortys from outside the curve, and they accidentally kidnapped a Morty from a universe where HE was the smartest being, and that Morty is Evil Morty. This is why the portal he used was yellow, it wasn't a Rick-Made portal gun, but one of Evil Morty's own design, as yellow is the color of Morty's shirt.
Maybe this Morty wasn't born outside the curve. It's possible that when dividing the multiverse they didn't consider there could be such a smart Morty, so universes with highly intelligent Morty's were netted in as well. But I agree, I figured the gun was something Evil Morty made. Maybe he made it specifically to work outside the curve.
Could simply be that in his universe he is the second smartest being, second to Rick should be enough to pull the shit he did
@@willinton06 possible, or maybe he just learned how to fly under the radar because there's no way he's dumber than any Rick. Given how he out maneuvered every Rick in the citadel, he's either as smart or smarter.
@@TheQuietTyper the second smartest man in a universe can be smarter than the smartest man in another universe
@@TheQuietTyper To be honest, the Citadel Ricks aren't really setting a high bar. There are probably smarter Ricks in the multiverse, and I would put C-137 in there too.
I'm still processing this bombshell of a finale, but I think there's something so genius about the simplicity of Rick's "dead wife" backstory.
Because it's not something super complex, it's not mindblowing, it just reveals something so obvious that it's easy to forget: deep down, Rick is just a sad old man.
For real it was just as it seems to be
Of course rick love morty and his family it was obvious he is lying and of course he have sad back story and yeah why he dont want to show us his back story thats just because this is just a back story like "yeah something bad happen thats all" but it work
It mocked it in train episode
Omg it was my most favourite season ever!!!
It was exciting and the opening season was fantastic.
Jessica was a time God and I was so glad that we didn’t hear her name so much this season.
The reveals and mr poopy but hole! 10/10
There’s rarely any shows that make me feel this type of way. This season finale has left me in absolute awe. My mind is blown by the story telling and even though I know it’s not gonna happen, I just want every next episode to follow this one up. Evil Morty isn’t done, he’s too damn important, the door is open to so many possibilities, but I know this episode is just one piece to a much bigger puzzle.
No one seem to be mentioning that Rick never found the Rick that blew up his family. That Rick is still out there.
yeah they are...a lot lol!
Probably trapped outside of the central finite curve
Probably knew what Rick would do so went into the reality where Rick wasn't the dominant force
I, for one, don't care at all. This was largely inferior season to previous.
Another interesting reference here is that when Rick is trying to pull a lever to close black hole that is sucking them in, there is a board on which is written BOOSTER CONTROL-MUST OPERATE WITH PARTNER which is direct reference to Doctor Who episode "Doomsday" in which Doctor and his companion together pull a lever to close black hole which leads to parallel universe and it is one of the most heartbreaking episodes bc his companion got tucked into a hole and gets separeted from Doctor forever, and from there is that established rule that the lever must be pulled by the partners together to close the portal
Loved your analysis!
Did anyone notice how similar the twist of a scientist creating his own mini-multiverse so he can be the smartest person there (after battling countless other versions of himself) was very similar to the finale of Loki?
Although I do think it's a coincidence, Michael Waldron has been writer or showrunner for both shows.
Lol gay
@@dragonborndylan7609 ?
I always thought it was weird that every Rick had a Morty. They would always have some weird variation like shaped like hammers or something but there was always a Rick and Morty Annabeth and Jerry. We're constantly talked about infinite timelines but if that were true when they're be timelines where Beth married someone else and had a child that wasn't Morty and when we see children who weren't Morty on the Citadel? I just figured it was the writers not wanting to go that deep into it and lean more info how nothing matters
Well, we saw Beth remarried in an episode with Jerryboree, but yeah, it was way too not-diversed
true! i think this was a fantastic way of revealing why that was the case. it also explains that throwaway line about slick morty from the citadel episode being an "experiment"; so many morties have been manufactured and bred just for serving ricks.
What you said about Beth marrying someone else must be true for some realties.
For example, I am following a fanfic crossover in which Rick never had Beth. He had Lynn Loud from the Loud House. And eleven grandchildren. "Rick and the Loud House," by itsnouse.
ye i thought it was weird too, im glad they made it more realistic. It makes actions and events have more weight and meaning now.
Well in the begining this is just a concept for a cartoon because it is fun, each show specially story that each chapters/episode are not following have their gimmick and the "rick and morty" duo are the gimmick
Like every cartoon or unfollowing story without real plot, if the story isnt constant what make à cartoon be specific from others ? Thats the gimmick
Like, "space dandy is a dandy living in space, he live with à robot and alien furet-cat and his job is to capture unknows aliens" this is the concept, now with this just make what you want in every episode
Each episodes of space dandy have different plot, different scenario, different art style, thematic, etc... but the concept is what stayed , the gimmick like dandy loving boobs and thing make you say "yeah thats typical space dandy thing"
The logic is same for others cartoon and also rick and morty, thats why nothing really mattet and nothing dont have real conséquences in the begining exept maybe à red string
I have a feeling that outside of the central finite curve exists at least one universe where Diane has attained the same level of intelligence as C-137 rick, while having her rick killed in her universe. The two of them meeting would be insane.
i feel like they are so meta that it really cheapens most emotional plot moments. like, rick and morty has always been pretty meta, so i dont expect the writers stop, but they have really amplified it these last few seasons. now it feels like they just do it to shield themselves from being called cringe in case their writing turns out a bit too corny. the rick and morty of these seasons would never commit to scenes like the emotional ones in season 1. maybe its not a bad thing, because theyve grown in other aspects, and the scope of the stories is bigger than ever but... i dont know, it can make the moments that are supposed to tug at the heartstrings feel cheap when they constantly follow it by the characters saying how dumb the dialogue of their show is. or maybe its all planned by the writers purposely, who knows. either way...
very well done for real. you didnt miss a thing
Can't wait for the "Hello Rick its been a long time" when we meet a specific person he was trying to avoid
Bet season 6 begins normally and then were hit with an oh yeah this shit happened in the finale! My question is how do rick and morty get back to their own dimension since the portal gun broke? This will be an interesting concept!
Season 6 is going to be crazy
Season 6 lost in the omniverse
@@johndicks819 I bet that it would be wrapped up in first episode itself
@@johndicks819 they'll probably get home then but it won't be wrapped up until season 7 or maybe even season 8, might only be truly wrapped up in the finale (but it will probably be explored before then)
Made this comment in another video, but I thought I'd share it here too.
What's interesting to me are what the colors of the portals probably represent now:
Blue is limited travel around one universe, and green as we know of it being the interdimensional travel. Now knowing basically the realities the Ricks have confined the universes where they rule are basically the green portals, the yellow portals most likely represents true access to infinite realities, which Evil Morty now has access.
We can see that EM possibly broke the central finite curve seeing Rick's portal gun fizz out of its green portal fluid during the end of the episode, meaning the CFC could be gone. So the green portals were basically a combination of infinite possibilities LIMITED into specific timelines. Blue + Yellow = Green.
*BUT HEY, THAT'S JUST A THEO--*
Part 1: Pawns
"Our" Rick is the extreme variant of the other Ricks in the central finite curve (CFC), but is ultimately just a pawn, just like his Morty.
Looking back at our Rick, he hadn't discovered portal technology yet.
He was working on it and his portal juice was blue. That would have given him access to the multiverse as it appeared normally, just like Morty did with the yellow portal. His math was correct, but a previous Rick (or other being) created a system where those who tried to create portals to reach the omniverse wouldn't be able to travel there (think back to the scene where he throws an apple through and it gets roasted), unless outside of the CFC. The apple traveled through the portal, but was cooked, however, everytime in the series someone used bunk portal fluid they get liquified (see the citadel episode where the Rick gets his portal equation wrong). On top of this, "Evil" Morty (EM), when he swaps the portal fluid makes the portals usable, they simply open portals to an unintended and dangerous universe (all the portals have creatures or contraptions that reach out and kill the intended traveler). If the portal was just bunk fluid, the Ricks and Mortys (RaMs) would have touched it and liquified. That would have qued to the other RaMs to stop using the portals. Ricks aren't dumb, they're arrogant. Each one thought that his portal gun would lead him to safety because he assumed he was the only one with safe portal fluid. Our Rick was the only one to ask his Morty if he refilled the portal juice and knew something was amiss. He actually cares for his Morty, despite their dysfunctional relationship and due to how easily EM allowed them to leave, he knew something was off. Our Rick is dysfunctional, but highly perceptive when it comes to battle (hence why he's survived for so long).
Part 2: The Reason We're Here
There are multiple theories as to how the CFC was created, but none of those matter, what matters is the end result they produce. Who benefits most from this snake eating its own tail? There are 3 main options:
A: RaMs are both being farmed by an original Rick/Morty or higher order being.
B: Someone started the curve long ago, and everyone is unknowingly trapped on the Rick side of the veil.
C: The creators are the force that "created" and created the CFC purely for narrative purposes.
A: EM is going to have a bad time. He thinks that just because he was smart enough to notice the CFC and get out of the CFC that he'll be free of Rick. What's not to say that either a Rick or higher order being was looking for a way in. What's to say that the "Rick" who confronted our Rick was even a Rick at all? This series has established as canon that no one escapes the chain of dimensions. There's always a universe above or below. No one's alone, no one escapes, we're all trapped here together. EM thinks Rick confined himself to the CFC, what's not to say Rick wasn't cordoned off by another being as a cosmic punishment or teaching lesson?
B: The CFC may be Rick's sandbox, but eventually every kid needs to use the bathroom, or get a snack. The CFC isn't a sandbox; It's a coffin/prison. As resourceful as Rick is...you don't think there weren't useful things he could have used outside the CFC? Universes full of stuff he liked and enjoyed? Of course there were, he just had no clue that there was an outside...why do you think our Rick struggled with the blue portal for so long? He couldn't get out! The math was sound, just not for the dimensions he was in. I say dimensions for a reason, space-time can be cordoned off. When you sit in a chair, you confine yourself to that chair. When you enter a room, you are confined to that room. Rick and Morty have been confined to their reality set (their universes/the show). Don't you think our Rick would have left the CFC to find his revenge if he knew it was an option...? He didn't because he didn't know. While RaMs make 4th wall breaks as a joke, they aren't sentient or supersane like Deadpool. They're supersane like the Joker. They're aware of the outside world as a writing mechanic, not as a reality. They're just characters, not consciousnesses.
Part 3: Depression and its escape
The creators of Rick and Morty are depressed, like most intelligent people. They're looking for a distraction. People like Beth and Jerry are ultimately trapped in the universe by their lack of intelligence and awareness. So, they seek pleasure in the small ways they can within their own dimensions. While Rick, who can travel between universes and has relative cosmic awareness is trapped by his emotions. Morty is intelligent enough understand the multiverse, but can find happiness in normalcy (him trying to find and keep a love interest). Rick has seen and done it "all" before.
The shows two creators are Rick. We as the audience are Beth and Jerry, trying to understand and create theories to further entertain ourselves. What the creators are trying to do is make us like Morty. The want us to understand the allusions they make to other works and enjoy the ride of the episodes and stories, but ultimately they want us to shut up and enjoy the ride. EM got tired of the CFC, but while he's found momentary relief in escaping, he's still bound by his reality...just like us. No matter how much dissection we do, or theories we create. We are still trapped by our reality. So, just shut up, stop theorizing and enjoy the ride. If you try to figure it all out, you'll just end up like Rick. Be like Morty, break the cycle...and enjoy your life.
one comment: beth is smart, she’s literally going through the same motions as rick did when he was younger. we as the audience could be compared to summer & jerry rather than beth
take my comment
nerd
I mean, if these other threats that can outdo Rick ever come into contact with him, wouldn't that mean game over for Rick? Because if Rick was more powerful than these potential threats, then they would've been part of this finite curve. So this would imply that Rick cannot match the power of these threats and so would definitely lose, right?
For people confused, a quick ( not so quick) summary of what'll be "cannon"
• Rick is scientist, working on teleportation
• Visited by "Eviler" Rick who offers him portal tech
• turns it down, "guess I'm a different kind of Rick"
• big badaboom, RIP Diane and Beth
• gonna make that bastard pay, lemme invent portal tech real quick
• looking for Eviler Rick, teams up with Birdperson and Squanchie, kills a lot of Ricks and Feds
• never finds Eviler Rick
• somewhere in here he switches universes to one where Rick didn't get Beth killed, but does leave her
• seems to broker peace with other Ricks by building them the Citadel
• also builds the Central Finite Curve, a subset of multiverses wherein Rick is the smartest being in the galaxy, separates the CFC from all other multiverses where he's not
• crash lands back on earth, reuniting with Beth and meeting Morty (and Jerry).
• In one of the universes, "Evil" Morty learns the truth of the Central Finite Curve, that Ricks are altering events to produce Mortys and using them for their bullshit. "Evil" Morty wants out, he wants to escape the CFC to finally live in a universe where Rick isn't central to everything
• In an early Rick and Morty adventure, they look for "Evil Rick" who captures them and scans Rick's brain before being killed. Evil Morty gets away with that data, giving him intel on the Citadel and CFC
• Evil Morty gets elected president of the Citadel while Rick and Morty bang merpeople in Atlantis. Evil Morty still doesn't have all the info he needs to escape the Central Finite Curve, but now has access to the Citadel
• Looking for a way to get Rick back from the two crows, Morty goes to the Citadel and becomes 40. They have to return there to undo it.
• Once there, "President" (Evil) Morty finishes scanning Rick and Morty's brains and begins his escape to beyond the CFC
• To prevent any Rick from stopping him, Evil Morty hacks all their portal guns to either kill them or teleport them to a chamber that kills them.
• Rick and Morty escape in the Mortyburg portion of the citadel along with several malformed Mortys before the rest of the station is sucked into a black hole
• Evil Morty escapes the Central Finite Curve and gains access to infinite realities where Rick either doesn't exist or is not that important/smart.
• Evil Morty opens a yellow portal, a color often associated with Morty, representing his newly won agency, as well as technology beyond what we understand
Nice
Just an idea, I get the implication that “evil” Morty wanted “a way out”. That he wanted to die. That scene with the clones in the blenders, makes me think “evil” Morty had lived many lives, trapped in a system, created by, “RICK”.
Maybe his original Rick has him registered to Operation Phoenix against his will. So even if he did die, he still came back or was rerouted to another universe and likely tracked down. But he's finally unlocked perma-death and feels like stuff means stuff now. "We are who we are *because* of consequences"
@@chickencurry420 But he had a way to sabotage Operation Phoenix across the multiverse.
Great job Johnny. Superb, Fantastic! Best wishes for much success in the future.
Thanks, Juan!
i really like how they explained the central finite curve, because previously the only two bits of information we had were that it comprised "every dimension with a rick-like entity" (according to our rick) and that simple rick came from outside of it. knowing that it REALLY means any dimension where rick is the smartest being makes a lot of sense, because of course he'd define a "rick-like entity" as the smartest being in his home dimension
Rick built the CFC to ensure Rick's within it dont mess with other Ricks who chose to be with their family. As that's exactly what our Rick chose.
The Cfc consists of only Rick's who chose to be the smartest being in the universe or were forced too. Rick built it to imprison himself and all the bad Rick's from harming the good ones. Had evil morty known this I wonder his reaction.
Could the "Inviting" Rick be so hard to locate because he went outside the central finite curb? He's escaped the most Rickest Rick to ever exist, so he's definitely as smart as, if not smarter, than our C-137 Rick...
all the ricks have the same iq, evil morty said that in his speech that one episode, so that's probably luck.
With infinite possibilities, ones ought to get lucky
I’m kind of enjoying this trend of setting up misleading finales via the promos. The bait and switch keeps us on our toes. I do think season 5 was kinda weak but it had such a strong conclusion. I’m excited for all the major status quo changes they’ve set up.
if only movie trailer where like that
I thought season 5 was really strong - but they played around with some new pacing for the episodes that I think made them feel rushed. They weren't "bad" but it wasn't the same feeling on each episode I was used to, but I am glad the writers are trying new things. To me, it's why each episode felt kind of "rushed" not from a quality stand point, but from a developing and playing on ideas and plots.
But it also made sense in the grand scheme of things - the family has seen some shit now so they would be more willing now to cope and then ignore everything.
Edit - as an example- I don't think any episode this season could have fit in the "goodbye moonman" song because they were just cruising through each episode so fast. Maybe it made them feel more one-dimensional because of that. But I have crazy ADHD so it was fine with me lol
@@chasedaily8134 its a little rushed but its because they decided to make a fake out episode where they make a whole episode as a setup so that the beginning of the final episode of the season looked it was just going to be another silly shits and giggles episode and then wham! they just hit you with evil Morty almost a third of the way in, leaving two thirds of the episode to not only explain Ricks backstory but also drop a massive reveal of whats really going on and then evil Mortys grand plan. They crammed a metric shit ton of stuff and from the moment the FBI Ricks show up they hit the ground running. It was alot!
I'd kind of hoped that Evil Morty's escape from the central finite curve would've actually broken it. That would be a smoother setup for new big threats emerging and Rick losing his top dog position. Now they're gonna have to spend at least some time explaining how the curve got broken down if they want to use threats from outside it. I'm also gonna predict there'll be some new institution of Ricks banding together that has new implications, or it's gonna be more of a Rick Battle Royale since there's no group of Ricks stopping other Ricks from, for instance, taking over the life of our Rick while that Rick is still alive.
I have a sort of headcannon when it comes to multiversal and time travel, a sort of unifything theory, and the finite curve thing fits in with that headcannon perfectly, because it walls off all the rick and morty universes from everything else.
I’m pretty interested to see Rick and Morty’s dynamic going forward. Rick now has to see Morty as an equal now and by extension be honest with Morty, especially after that reveal.
His morty fell off the escape ship at the end, the one we see one it cuts back is a replacement
@@andymatheson82 U sure?
@@andymatheson82 Didn't he just fall backwards
@@deafultninjo7719 I thought it was weird how they clearly showed him falling off, but not coming back, then rick seems sad at the end while morty looks happy and unhindered, seems to imply he got a replacement morty. Could be morty was sucked into the place the evil mkrty went
I don't think Rick "encapsulated" part of the multiverse because of other beings, but to never let the Rick that killed his wife and daughter escape, assuming he just gave up looking for him.
But what if he DID escape?!
@@Johnny2Cellos That would be interesting to find out! So many possibilities now.
I wonder if that began Rick’s “Nothing matters” mindset. He just replaced his first Beth who he’d kill another version of himself for for another Beth, this began an endless cycle
5:40 Probably something unnoticed. But when evil Morty talks about it it shows a scene of that episode of Mr. Nimbus where Rick just doesn't do anything special which follow that theory that some episodes actually show some random Ricks and Mortys from some random alternative realities (including this one episode in particular). Haven't seen nobody talking about this particular example to "validate" this theory but it kinda makes sense as it's shown alongside Morty's narrative.
Who knows. Just waiting for the next season... and the next until they dry out of creativity xD
7:00 the concept of being out classed no matter what shouldn't be a mind blower to qoute Qui Gon " theres always a bigger fish"
I enjoyed the season overall and even enjoyed the dissatisfaction Morty had for rick the entire season my biggest issue was how quickly they reverted him back to his "old" self in episode 9. I would of match rather see the much more competent morty that we've been seeing being built up for the entire season than episode 10 morty, and then blending back the relationship with empathetic Rick and Competent and more assertive morty.
Uh Question everyone, does Rick(c-137) kill the rick that kills Diane and Beth?
@@ekewaka7497 no i dont think so
I agree. Especially with Morty starting the two parter by being heroic on his own terms, it was really gross to see him the one pining for Rick to come back.
I've known people as insecure and abusive as Rick, and I'll tell you - when the little guy breaks loose, they're the ones who feel free, not the ones moping and wondering what to do next.
I think that was just developing the "toxic relationship" aspect idea even more. Morty knows Rick is an ass, but still needs him and is willing to sacrifice himself when he is gone. This wasn't "reverting" Morty back as much as it was "progressing" Rick - Rick realized he didn't just need Morty, but WANTED Morty as well. The whole "Must be operated by partners" sign and then Rick smiling as he helped Morty up showed that.
Morty doesn't have to learn to hate Rick to evolve as a character - in fact, the episodes show what that turns you into: An Evil Morty.
@@chasedaily8134 I dunno, this sounds like victim blaming. If Morty doesn't hate Rick he becomes Evil Morty? Like...isn't there an answer that isn't mass murder?
You're right it's about progressing Rick - I'm saying it sounds like wish fulfillment, from the same kind of insecurity Rick demonstrates.
There is always another layer to evil Morty... he himself may be looking for the Rick that killed C-137s family who would indirectly be responsible for all that C-137 did afterwards... I mean if in so many years C-137 didn't find him it's an educated guess to say he was not in that multiverse
Woah thats true, he never found him and in all that time he might have become even stronger than the ruthless young Rick who was capable of killing Beths and Wife. Maybe this evil Rick was so obsessed with power he left the curve to fight even stronger beings than Rick to be even more powerful. I can see a future episode where our Rick and Evil morty team up to fight Evil Rick. Although i dont think its correct to call evil Morty evil anymore since he just wanted to escape.
I was literally just thinking about that like by the time rick finally created his portal gun and went through the mutiverse there is probably a chance that rick that killed C-137 family was already long gone. And since it was split in half chances are evil morty might just be in that very same multiverse as that rick.
Not necessarily. There were still infinite universes within the central finite curve. There are more Ricks than any one of them could find or know about. Rick could've honestly just stopped caring when he decided to settle in with the Beth and her family from whatever universe he happens to be in, maybe even before that.
Can we talk about how awesome the orchestra version of the song was. Chefs kiss*🤌🏼
yoooo johnny u hit a mil so happy for u bro
Thank you man 😭🙏
I hope in a future episode, rick unexpectedly runs into the rick that killed his family and it re starts his manhunt, resulting in confliction between revenge and staying with his current family. Thatd be interesting
Unlikely, only reason he gave up hunting ricks is because he realized nothing matters, which is why he helped build the citadel in the first place.
@@justinjackson7688 He was at the head of the table when creating the citadel, then bounced and ended up at Beth's, didn't you see the episode?
I suspect they're the only Ricks left, and without a Citadel of Ricks to facilitate the rise of any new Ricks.
Would killing that Rick even bring him closure? Does he still even want to do it?
@@propheinx2250 what about the Ricks that weren’t at the citadel at that time. I wonder if Doofus Rick is still alive.
One thing I really love: Back in episode one, where Rick and Morty have to hijack a portal from the galactic government, the portal is originally blue. However, when Rick alters it to go to C-137, or a place on the Central Finite Curve, the portal turns green. Like you mention, the portal 'Evil' Morty uses a Yellow Portal instead of a Green one. Maybe the blue represents portals to worlds taken by the Galactic Government, a sort of mirror to the CFC. It could be a great concept going forward. Different colored portals for different areas of the new expanded Multiverse.
I think blue is exclusively teleportation, I don't think the Galactic Government mastered multiverse travel
Hey and to remind you s3 ep1 the agent from the galactic federation has rick trapped in the mind device to find out his secret to interdimensional travel and the invention of his portal gun! They didn't master the technology but trapping Rick in the high security prison they thiygh they had a chance to extract his secrets and perfect their own technology! Evil morty proved to be smart enough to read Ricks brain and come up with a genius plan to master it himself and that means breaking out of the central finite curve!
We saw a blue portal in Rick's memory before mastering interdimensional travel. Blue portals seem to = intradimensional travel. You're going to somewhere within your own universe. Green portals = interdimensional travel within the finite curve. You're going to a Rick-sanctioned universe, basically. Yellow portals... they appear to be truly interdimensional. Any universe. Infinite.
Could be wrong, but that's how it appears to me.
@@Sonik644 Ye that was the whole point of arresting Rick in the start of Season 3
That monologue on the post-credits hits hard.
For me the color of the yellow portal indicates the absence of Rick in the System.
Rick’s color is blue and Morty is yellow; together they are green.
Thank you for dealing with the fact that I sound like a literal zombie in this video, I was VERY tired when I recorded it
I didn't really noticed. Your voice, at least for me, is always this soothing. I hope you get rest though, everyone deserves a good rest
I seriously couldn't tell at all. But I understand, I've been getting terrible sleep lately. Hope you're able to get some rest now that this is uploaded.
I must be really bad at noticing voice changes, because like the others, I didn’t notice anything different…
I love this season
You sound fine!
Theory: Rick created the Central Finite Curve in order to prevent the smartest Ricks from ruining other universes, like what happened with him in the past.
I like more the idea of a prison for the killer Rick, but at this point i will take everything that reverses the character assassination of Rick
Yeah... but in his quest for revenge, he became the same thing he was hunting. How many lives did he ruin by killing all the other Ricks? Making him just as bad if not worse than the one who destroyed his life.
@@JS-hw8ve But he only killed other Ricks. That's partially why I think the CFC wasn't put in place to keep the universes were he was the smartest separated from the ones that he isn't. The CFC was created to keep Good Ricks and Evil Ricks separated.
Since the creation of the CFC, as far as I'm aware, no Rick has killed any of the Smith Family members besides for Morty. We've had Ricks hold various ones hostage and could have easily killed them, but didn't. Good might not be the best descriptor for this side of the CFC Ricks, but could you imagine what a truly Evil Rick would be capable of?
@@therobomega You aren't getting what I said.
Also, you think Rick is good?
Let me start again: Rick's family's biggest issue with him is that he abandoned them. Beth was terrified he would leave again. We discover that Ricks always abandon their family... Then we find out they aren't abandoning them, they are dead, because our Rick has been killing them. The pain that the family we are seeing is spread across the multiverse because our Rick was causing it with his rampage.
This part I could be wrong about. The CFC? He probably built it to keep the one that killed his family from escaping. It wasn't to keep things out... it was to keep his target in. Other excuses, other reasons Rick or any of the Ricks might have given for the CFC, well... Rick lies.
Rick has everyone we know, all his loved ones trapped in his bullshit, making his issues everyone's issues. "Evil"Morty wanted out. Just wanted to walk away and determine his own destiny.
This was a really week season.
Finale was fucking awesome. I loved the backstory sequence with the bladerunner esque music. It was sooooooooo cool
Glad to see that E Morty got outside the curve it opens up allot story wise and now I’m eagerly awaiting more.
I also though that the green portal is green because they are stuck in that universe the Rick's created, but I think that might be incorrect. The reason I believe it's incorrect is because the portal was green in the flash back of what happened to Rick. I think the green might just be a asthetic thing and Evil Mortys is yellow because of his portal gun. Maybe Evil Morty is using a different type of portal fluid? Similar to how blaster bolts are in Star Wars.
Green is the combination of yellow and blue. Maybe green is the most complete one? Since there is a yellow and a blue portal. I have no idea xD
@@karelw.4390 Hmmmm... blue look good but unstable,green look unstable but safe to use but yellow?I hope to see more Yellow portal gun in near future
@@dahandsomeguywithcoolglass8949 hmm maybe blue and yellow are portals for outside of the CFC (which explains why the blue portal didnt work for rick back then). And only the green portal works within the CFC.
Evil morty was already outside of the CFC so that explains why he could use the yellow portal.
This is just speculation tho
Ricks had portals before C-137 even knew about them, which probably means that the curve was already being put into use. I think it's implying that he didn't make it, he just uses it to his advantage.
Personally I don't think Evil Morty escaped the Curve, I think he broke it. He went after Rick for knowledge on how to "flatten" the curve, which to me sounds like it would bring the Rick Universe back in line with the rest of the Multiverse. Plus, the way Rick's Portal Gun fizzles out could be part of it. It could be built to work within the curve, and when it suddenly has an infinite increase in potnetial destinations the thing breaks.
Nah his portal gun empty
@@danceman6188 In the earlier scenes we saw that it was full and he only shot one portal.
@@danceman6188 Also it was like smoking or sparking or something, meaning that there may have been some actual technical issue
Good theory
@@jerrygil1965 Thanks!
There are three head cannons theories as to why Rick decided to make the Central finite curve.
1. Rick wanted to limit the places Killer Rick could go to and wait for himto come to Rick.
2. Rich didn’t want to deal with other people that where as smart as him (if not smarter) because Rick knows how to deal with himself, he is his own worst enemy after all, knowing what buttons to push and when to push them to gain the upper hand against them.
3. He separated the Ricks that are selfish monsters from the Risks that choose the simpler life just like he did to make sure none of them became just like him.
1:20 video starts there, unless you actually like the ads..
This is a really weird comparison
But to me, traveling to a multiverse where Rick isn’t the most dominant being, is like going to the dark continent in hunter x hunter. You’ve already experienced a whole lot of what the f*ckery only to realize as big as the setting appeared it was still a very small part and possibly safer than where we’re about to head.
Maybe "Fart" species comes back. They thought to be superior than carbon based entities
There are a lot of similarities between ging freeccs and Rick.
I can see what you mean.
Only in this case we're not gonna have an indefinite hiatus.
@@jamainegardner4193 Probably not. Never count on anything being certain.
I can't help but remember the line in "Rick Potion #9" where our Rick and Morty jump into the place of the dead Rick and Morty and Rick says "We can only do that a few more times" Which had always puzzled me because they spoke about the infinite universes as if they were infinite. But now we know that's not true, that line adds up and I wonder if that was intentional or just really good backwards compatibility
I mean the central finite curve is mentioned as far back as season 1, so I imagine a fair bit of the meaning of it was already thought of.
Honestly a few lines of dialogue suddenly make sense when watched back with what we now know. Like Bird Persons wedding where BP ducked Beth's questions about whether Rick had ever mentioned her.
Besides it being a in joke about them acknowledging it being lazy writing. There is logic to it in the sense that the object of reality hoping was just to slide in Unnoticed. Which requires a timeline with minimal differential other than not surviving the fixed event.
So the line “we can only do this a few more times” is referring to the rate of differential between the realities which increases the more they do it and decreases the successful assimilation into the reality.
@@eeyuup I thought it was a meta joke.
But the central finite curve should be an infinite amount of universes... lets say we have our multiverse. Somebody want to seperate every universe where rick is the smartest man. This will also be an infinite amount of universes where rick is the smartest man (CFC).
But i dont understand why it is called ‘finite’ curve if it clearly cannot be finite
I had a feeling there was an Easter egg hidden in a previous episode that would be important, the brain scan was a massive loose end we forgot about.
