i like how rick prime thought about it as him being batman and evil morty being a robin (sidekick, lower status in the duo basically), and even though evil morty knew what rick prime meant, he decided to piss him off even more by acting cocky and acting like he thinks rick prime should be robin.
Rick Prime going from "I made you, I showed you infinity, what's your life without me?" to "you would have been me." is such a big tactic change, it shows that he's grasping at anything at all to cause damage in his last moments left.
Yeah, but the "not so different" speech is a little hollow when, going from what Rick Prime said, he murdered his own wife and her other versions with the Omega Weapon, not only to draw out any Ricks smart enough to be a threat to him/not willing to take him up on his offer, but just so that he only needed to record one message.
@@godofshows6085 The comics are a separate canon to the show, proven by the fact that in one of the comics there is a Jerry smarter than their universe's Rick, which would be impossible if this universe was in the central finite curve.
I don't really think it's true, I just think his paranoia and distrust of other Ricks was the root of what made Rick Prime evil. He thought killing literally every Diane in existence was justified because of an irrational fear that some other Rick would just beat him to it. I think what was more interesting was his last line: "You lived in my house!" Rick Prime may have been wrong about Ricks, but C-137 let Rick Prime's actions ruin his life to the point where the two characters were practically indistinguishable psychopaths. At one point, Rick was a noble human being and a good father, but his desire for revenge completely and utterly destroyed his humanity.
Maybe, just maybe for a moment at the end, he did regret abandoning his family and later killing his own wife and daughter. Maybe this monster briefly felt a tinge of the humanity he thought he left behind, as he was pummeled to death in righteous fury by an alternate version of himself who hasn’t yet become a monster, not entirely.
My favorite part that i've never seen anyone mention is that there is no tech involved. No guns, no lasers, no portals, no enhancements. He didn't use his genius to torture him for a million years or melt him from the inside. This is just a man, beating the shit out the guy who took what he loved the most.
I think Rick did want to torture him or something, but he didn’t want to risk Rick Prime escaping from him again. And there’s no telling what he would’ve done after that.
I think it’s kind of a metaphor. If you take away the tech from these ricks it shows you what they add to their core. A broken man with a lifetime of bitterness and depression as well as a witty, taunting sadistic psychopath
Realistically even the strongest man alive couldn't punch someone so hard half their face caves in and blood splatters across the room, so at the very least I'd assume Rick's implants increase his strength to superhuman levels and he's still using that in this scene.
@@MrAppleSaladPunch someone enough times and, yeah, it can create a whole lot of blood. (I grew up in a fucked up place when I was a kid and saw stuff like that). Also noses can really piss blood all over if hit right. Like, a damn hose pipe. But yeah his cybernetic strength definitely let him cave his face in
the final nail in Rick Prime's coffin was a Morty setting all of this up, casually ignoring everything Rick was saying and just being like "yup, uh huh, that's great pal." while neutralizing Rick from the inside out and throwing him to the wolves
Well after years of dealing with a Rick and basically destroying the Citadel, a whole utopia of Ricks, he's basically used to them to the point that their taunts mean nothing to him.
Honestly through out story of show I learned on thing. To be Rick all you need is kind ignore him. His words, threats or praises. Even when kills you by ignoring him you dissatisfy him, you don’t let him have last laugh.
That was the point. By the end of it we feel like Rick. With an underwhelming feeling of "now what". And life, as the season, continues after the climax without as knowing what comes next.
This really highlights why Evil Morty is a great “antagonist”. Despite his name, he’s not really evil. He just hates Rick, is straight up done with him, and wants to be free. He even confirms later that he took the omega device plans not because he’s planning to destroy Rick, but rather he’s holding it as an insurance policy to be left alone.
@@pokemonjhotomaster It wouldn’t be enough. He had to get out of the central finite curve or else he’d just get sucked into another Rick’s bullshit. Even then, it was difficult because Rick disturbed him looking for Prime. Evil Morty didn’t want to be anywhere near Rick. He wanted to break free in every sense of the word by any means necessary.
@@rodrickgoldberg2324 it would be all he had to do was tell Rick “No” if he asked again or just go to one of the *multiple* dimensions where Rick is dead.
For those saying it feels like a season finale I think that was kinda the point. I feel like the writers want to make the audience feel the same emptiness Rick feels throughout the rest of the season, hence making this episode halfway through the season. If this is the case I’m interested to see where they take ricks character.
Maybe they're setting up Evil Morty to be the big bad. Now that C137 feels empty after killing Prime Rick, the writers are prolly going to write him towards choosing a new life purpose, perhaps stopping Evil Morty for good.
Prime Rick cared about his family, but somehow Rick C-137 was able to hijack his home and force Prime to flee. There was a lot of pain in his voice when he said his final words. @@TheGodofwarkratos12
I find it neat. As many people that say Rick Prime was "emotionless" or just laughing at his incoming demise, if you even listen slightly, you can hear his voice fucking up and wavering several times. The laughing is desperation, not self-assuredness/apathy.
The new voice actors for both Rick and Morty really nailed it this episode, ESPECIALLY Rick's. Like holy shit, the way he made Rick prime sound so angry and hysterically amused while simultaneously being beaten to death was phenomenal.
The "I'LL KILL YOU" part that Rick screamed out at Prime after Uncle Slow was killed was extremely raw and emotional, something Roiland probably couldn't pull off. Can't wait for Season 8 when Ian can get even better at doing Rick's voice
Ah no, I disagree. While it’s pretty close for morty, Rick just sounds off. Sadly he gets close, but not close enough to where you can just move on from it, at least in my case
“I just walked into your garage before you walked into mine.” I wish more people pointed out the fact that Rick C-137 was just about ready to become a Simple Rick and give up on teleportation (based on his memory sequence in S3 E1) so that he could live a simple life with Diane. He was only pushed to discover portal travel once Rick Prime stole his happiness. Rick Prime only said this line to try and get a one-up on him, but it just adds to the pathetic dialogue he has in this scene (not saying the writing itself is pathetic, but it’s clear that RP is really scraping for ANY pettiness he can get in before dying).
@@Dirkoin Doubtful. C-137 seemed to only get the inspo to make portal travel once Rick Prime showed it to him. Portal travel is also the guaranteed way to hunt down and get revenge on Rick Prime.
We'll probably never get any confirmation on this, but if I had to guess, Rick Prime got a glimpse of "infinity", and as a result abandoned his family. Eventually he felt guilty about it, but instead of going back, he traveled to other dimensions and offered "infinity" to other Ricks, as a way to prove that any Rick would have made the call he did. But C137 didn't, and that pissed him off, so he killed Diane. Prime hates C137 as much as C137 hates him, because he's living proof that Rick Sanchez isn't a God, just a selfish asshole.
I don't think it's just C-137 Rick, for example all those other Ricks that were trapped in that black goo thing chose their family, that Rick Prime took from them, over "Infinity". I assume that not every Rick he came across thought like him and it made him feel inferior, so instead of accepting that he was shit for making the wrong choice, he took Diane out of every universe. And he made every Rick into an alcoholic, reckless, chaotic, self-loathing piece of shit. Just like him. And he's the worst. The Rickest Rick...
@@ronin7561only logical reason C-137 isn’t immediately added to the goop is because of all these brilliant minds Rick prime brought to ruin, one of them needed to stop him and it just so happens to be the Rick we follow
That's a very interesting thought, like C137 is Prime's shadow, the part of himself that's good, so he hates that part, and tried to turn it as cynical and empty as him by destroying his greatest love.
There's so much more going on here than just Rick avenging his wife. Rick Prime is the reason Rick became the narcissistic, apathetic, miserable drunk that he's been for the whole show. But now? He's going to Therapy, he's setting boundaries with his family. He's becoming a better person. Rick isnt just killing his wife's murderer, he's killing the horrible person he used to be.
Yeah they stole that from Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Megatron: "After all, who would you be without ME Prime?" Optimus: "Let's find out" *proceeds to rip Megatron's head off with an axe to the face
His a word wizard that one. I kinda fear what he can become in the future, because despite everything. His still just a kid atm. Tho, as long as his left alone, I don't think he will do much destruction and shit. He seems far more interested in creating.
@@WolfFireheart look I'm sorry for being rude but no, I'm being serious. Evil Morty even stated that himself, he *wants* to be left alone, he's not merely interested in creating like you stated in your previous comment. He even warns Rick (and possibly Morty) right after Rick kills Rick Prime, that he can end the Rick experiment if for some reason Rick decided to eliminate him. And going back to my point to him wanting to be left alone, even Morty asks if Evil Morty truly wants to be left alone, and that he wouldnt use the Omega Device (which the data and blueprint to make one he stole from Rick Prime when he incapacitated him after the fight), which Evil Morty replied to "because using a weapon like this doesn't get you left alone, Morty" which further states that Evil Morty won't bother them, unless he is bothered or provoked in the first place.
What grew with each punch wasn‘t Rick‘s Anger, it was the sheer amount of pain he carried throughout the many Years he had to be reminded of his Wife and Daughter being killed by this poor excuse for a Man, that left his Family and didn‘t care the slightest about them or any other Person than himself. This Rick truly was the worst…
What is interesting tho is one of Rick primes last words "you wouldve been me if it was you" which he implied that if our rick was the first rick to invent portal travel would he also have chosen science over his family?
@@TrophyThomas no i mean like if wed see a future version of ourselves that is bad in your pov would we continue on the path to this future? We probably wouldnt The only difference is that rick saw what or knew already what was waiting for him thanks to rick prime and chose his family because in that moment he wasnt as invested in science and thought it wasnt worth it which rick prime was the end result of a rick being completely invested in science and wanting other ricks to do what he does
@@TrophyThomas I think our rick would've turned out more like Simple Rick if left alone , plus he was inventing local dimensional travel before Rick Prime gave him the idea of multiversal
@@Ray_D_Tutto To be fair, he has no attachment to Prime Beth like he does Prime Morty. It took 7 seasons of growth for Rick to reach a point where he has begun to once again care about the people around him. Prime Beth was abandoned early on in the series, long before our Rick had his character growth. Rick's next step is to move on after finding that his revenge has really just left him empty.
If you watch the entire episode, he looks bored the entire time because he's been used to everything. Being the smartest Morty makes you doing everything so easily and overpowered so it makes you bored.
I like how the ending could be Rick Prime still laughing... or him sobbing as his own comments become no longer taunts but the dawning realization of what he lost. His family. His grandson. All of it.
Rick beating him to death was the perfect way for him to go out, I only wish there was a tougher battle/more build up. But I guess that’s kinda the point, evil Morty wanted ricks greatest triumph to give him nothing but emptiness. After all, once you finally accomplished the one goal that’s defined your whole existence, where do you go from there?
Back to bed. I mean Rick has caused a lot of problems and Evil Morty is only here because he is so done with Rick. Whether he feels triumphant or not the fact of the matter is it's all finally over and people over all reality can get some peace or at the very best no Rick getting in their life/business.
I love that in the end, Rick Prime didnt die in a flashy, over the top way. Just Rick and his fists, and all the anger and grief and hate he held for him all those years.
They speak of that in one of the behind the scenes sippets. The idea that it was only fists showed a lot more rage, suffering, talking back, and overall emotion. Can't do that with chainsaw tongues and hidden gadgets.
"I don't need a robin." "Let's find out." "I just walked into your garage before you walked into mine" "But eventually you did, You lived in my house!!" The new VAs really said "Let me cook" and made a 5-star delivery. This is peak Rick and Morty dialogue.
People need to understand the difference between superb writing and good voice acting. The writing was amazing as always but the VAing was mid at best. cope take.
Love how’s theres no music. In my audio class, silence is considered a sound itself. Like a “sound of no sound” kind of thing And I’ve been told that for writing movies/shows, silence can perfectly convey how serious or dark a scene can really be.
@@parrase Also Invincible Season 1 Episode 1 when Omni-Man is fighting the Guardians of the Globe, there is battle music at first, but shortly into the fight, the music fades and we're left with nothing but the brutal hits and grunts of these powerhouses battling to the death. IMO I think that's what made that scene so iconic and amazing, it really put emphasis on the extreme brutality Omni-Man was delivering to his former friends and allies.
This was SATISFYING as hell. I kept replaying it was so good. Especially that "You LIVE in my HOUSE!" line. Prime Rick got that "I got one more in me" energy.
Lol I laughed at that one. He hasn’t been to that house in decades. Government would have declared it abandoned property and seized it by now if his wife hadn’t claimed it (and then gave it to her daughter by inheritance) He has absolutely no right to claim it’s ‘his house’.
@@brandonborlaza9205 ? I don’t get what you’re talking about there. It’s property. A residential property. Government doesn’t care what name you slap on the title, it’s property they love to reclaim whenever possible at the slightest opportunity.
This is hands down the best episode of Season 7 and one of the show's best episodes. Im amazed they decided to have him get his revenge in the season's midpoint. Seeing Rick realise how empty and dissatisfied he is at accomplishing his revenge has made him feel so haunting yet surreal to watch. I also imagine he's going to go through an existential crisis trying to figure out what his purpose is now that he's killed his nemesis. Honestly, I think they ended the Rick Prime story so soon, at around the halfway point of the season, so we, the audience, could feel just as empty and dissatisfied as Rick did after. The new voice actor for Rick really delivered when it came to this episode. Also Evil Morty was such a cool inclusion in this episode.
Fair point. These sort of episodes are usually the finale so we're left wondering what's next with a sense of emptiness with what's left to do - exactly like Rick.
Feel like it's almost the perfect opportunity for the voice actors, we get to see the different emotions they can display for the characters now and see how the series will move on from there.
@@richardhayling4339 I don't think that counts though; Rick seems perfectly content with ignoring Mr. Nimbus as long and as often as he possibly can, he's not out for his head like with Prime.
Okay I think the reason Evil Morty was able to beat Rick Prime is mainly because Rick Prime is a master at fighting Rick’s so he isn’t that used to fighting a smart Morty because it’s usually a Rick that always comes to find him, which is why he is so used to beating them
It took both Rick C-137 and Evil Morty to beat Prime on top of Prime Morty being a decoy. If any of those 3 pieces were missing or if Rick Prime didn't underestimate Morty, Prime would beat any of them. His hubris got in the way l, which led to an opening that caused his death.
I think it was more along the lines of him underestimating evil Morty. He really didn’t even view evil Morty as even a threat until he was finally captured.
@@king_garnet_morgan im guessing thats exactly what they did in war, just give some drugs to nulls the pain and put it all inside and do sew it back and fight like nothing happened.
The new VA for Rick really cooked here. The fact he was able to convey a different emotion for C-137 and for Rick Prime. I didnt notice that these two were voiced by one man at first till i watched this. Well done indeed.
I have more and more respect for "Evil Morty" with each appearance in the show. Wow. What a great character for this show. Hopefully, we'll see a bit more of him before it's all said and done. 👌🏾
He was always the main antagonist. A lot of people just assumed he was written off after the season 5 finale but he’s too good a character. Having the big bad be a morty duplicate is more intriguing than a Rick antagonist.
@@kevinmccabe3984he’s more of an anti-hero/anto-villain. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone. Just doesn’t want to be a part of this cycle. He did have to kill Rick Prime to achieve that. But never cared about Rick Prime. He was just a mere obstacle.
@@swearimnotarobot3746 he lobotomized and enslaved his Rick and prevented him from committing suicide because he needed him alive to kidnap other Mortys... his Rick was an asshole, but if it was really just about getting away from him, he could have just quit.
I find it funny how the death of Rick Prime by a Morty was basically just how he almost died to Jerry Prime. He walks straight up to someone with the belief he is invincible but instead of taking a knife to the throat, he actually gets hit by something lethal. I guess that kind of showcases Morty though as a son/grandson. Someone who has Jerry's survival instincts but also has the tech to make the most use of it.
Morty’s definitely the best of both worlds. As pathetic as Jerry is, he’s got a surprising amount of savviness, both in survival and in social skills, to an extent (even if he got fired, the fact that he worked at an advertising company implies some amount of social skills) When they got their toxins removed Morty was hella successful, becoming a top class businessman, the same way Evil Morty rose to the presidency. Our Morty probably can’t MAKE the kind of tech rick can at the moment, but considering he’s got the genes of the currently most badass Jerry and the Former Rickest Rick, he’s got a scary amount of potential in his genetic code.
@@atomicgummygod9232Jerry has proven his ability to adapt and survive the very instant social pressures disappear. Once he is freed from the prison of polite society, Jerry Smith can become a force to be reckoned with.
A certain shock hit me when I realized that Rick prime knew VERY WELL who Rick c-137 was During the episode he tries to imply that he did the same thing with an infinite number of Ricks, and that he doesn't even know which one is which. "Ah, the wife guy!" But "YOU LIVED IN MY HOUSE" line makes it clear that Prime knew C-137 was waiting for him the whole time. "The only two Ricks who actually invented travel between interdimensional portals" These are all phrases impossible to use with ANY other Rick Prime was as obsessed with c-137 as c-137 was with him.
@@th3fps304 makes sense, he does have better tech (I think) and can beat c137 mid-thigh diff so he probably would have something like that Edit: ahh yes thigh diff
@th3fps304 Rick has the alarm for when decoys are killed so the concept isn't brand new. Basically he might have that type of alarm but it detects Rick's coming and going through dimensions.
That "YOU LIVED IN MY HOUSE" line is even more brutal than you think. Literally yes, Rick did live in Rick Prime's family's house, but that's not all he meant. Rick Prime thinks of himself as the ultimate Rick. He truly did seem to be a step above the others, and he would have been basically invincible, even to other Ricks. This character basically encapsulates Rick's "I can do whatever I want because I'm smarter than all of you" attitude, to a villainous new extreme. When he said "You lived in my house", he basically meant that Rick has spent his entire life in his shadow, whether he realized it or not. Because of his ego, Rick Prime really believed no one could ever be better than him, so the entire central finite curve (or his "house", so to speak) has always been his to conquer, and everyone and everything that exists within it only continues to exist because he allowed it. And even if Rick kills him (which he did) it wouldn't change the fact that he is still just an echo of the one true Rick.
Nah, I think you read to much into this. He could've said "my multiverse" if he meant the central finite curve. But he didn't create the central finite curve, Rick C137 did. So it never was his "house". It is probabel that Rick Prime lived outside of the curve since we only encountered him after it got destroyed! So your take has no legs to stand on.
@@redfear77That "Co-creator" only wrote six episodes and his only involvement from the show was his voice acting but that role has already been filled. He wouldn't have done anything special or different for this scene
Damn…Rick giving Rick Prime the Kratos beat Zeus to death treatment. Don’t stop, no matter what he saids, remember everything he did to our Rick be what he is. Only till he sees all red in his eyes does he stop & take a sigh of relief & fulfillment.
Exactly how it should be. Prime’s a full blown sociopathic narcissist. Any sort of dialogue just fuels his self importance ego meter, and he absolutely does not deserve that. He deserves to be thrown out the window like Rednecks tossing their beer cans out to the highway whenever they think the coast is clear.
@@BurningSorrows now imagine if this was Justin’s va during this scene. It would be super brutal & very uncomfortable because of how he delivers a horrifying death voice while being beaten to death.
Except Rick did not feel fulfilled at all after this which I like they did. When you spend so many years of your life trying to get revenge on one person, what next?
I love that even Prime seemed thrown off guard by E.Morty pulling Rick’s “corpse” into the room. Despite all his talk, he did NOT know where that one was going for a good second there.
I love this interaction so much. Rick Prime reallly drove into him how without me you are nothing. You hung out with MY grandson, raised MY daughter, you lived in MY house and laughing at him while saying it. He knows these are the last words he'll ever say to him and because of that these will be wedged into his mind forever.
They shouldn’t be given even a grain of salt. He abandoned that all for decades. Hell, by law, had it just been all about him, the government would have repossessed ‘his’ house decades ago. That only didn’t happen because his wife was there and intervened, taking ownership so she could raise their daughter safely. He has absolutely zero ownership or claim to anything. This loser’s biggest accomplishment in his life is ‘LoLz I dItChEd MuH fAMiLy!!!’ How f^cking sad and pathetic is that? I know 137 has built an epic life for himself hunting him down + joining a resistance at some point, but Prime’s life seems pathetic even to the Rick who’s tears they sucked to make happy bars.
Main Rick stares at the bloody pile of meat and mechanics before him, "You're a miserable piece of shit that discovered eternity, but then wasted it, obsessing over making sure that every other Rick was just a lesser version of you. I just lived the life you left behind; the life you stole from me."
…The laughter sounds like it devolves into sobbing at the end. As he screams “YOU LIVED IN MY *HOUSE!*”. Damn. I guess not even Rick prime is completely free of attachment to his old life.
Because in the end, even he is only human. As much as he tries to pretend he's perfectly rational and emotionless, he's not. And that pisses him off to no end.
@@jonquilgemstone Rick Prime is essentially the person C-137 pretended to be in the beginning, and not even he could escape his humanity.. that explains why he wanted to erase his own daughter and wife from existence so that he could never become attached to them again, or other ricks. what a monster... and like all narcissistic god-complex assholes, he got what was coming to him and his overconfidence and underestimation of others was his greatest weakness to be exploited.
I think this explains the relationship that Rick had with the family in the first season. He didn't bother to left his new family behind because he knew it wasnt his. All those years, searching for revenge and traveling across the multiverse gave him a nihilist vision of the existence. So in order to avoid more depression and emptiness, he just tried the easy family life he always wanted, but it was difficult for him. Maybe he got more along with Morty since he was the child he always wanted to raise. So by the end of season 1, he admits he loves now his grandsons. He also improves his relationship with Beth, he even befriends Jerry, showing more sympathy towards him in the last seasons. So in this point, I dont think he would replace his family ever again, and also accidentally exchanging Jerry. Also, let's not forget that everytime he changed to another universe, it was one where things were exaclty the same, except by the fact that he died, so his current Beth is just 'echoes' from prime Beth
Something that actually surprised me in Prime's death is that eventually, he stops laughing when he screams "You lived in MY house!". And after that you can't make out if he's still laughing or if he has started to cry in frustration. I think that Rick Prime liked to play this cat and mouse game with C-137 to make him feel as powerless as he felt.
I think what makes this so perfect is it’s a perfect expression of Rick. Rick Prime is just mildly annoyed with Morty and still can’t take him seriously, even when Morty holds all the cards. The way he frowns in surprise when evil morty drags the Rick he took everything away from shows him beginning to realize the seriousness of the situation, yet he can only take things seriously when he’s looking in the mirror, aka looking at himself. He can’t even help himself, he goes back to minimizing evil Morty and saying “ok fine I get it.” He is facing imminent death and all he can say to evil Morty is “fine I get it, you can stop now. I’m still not taking you seriously.” Then Evil Morty, diabolically, masterfully, completely abandons the two of them and just leaves. Ricks created the citadel, Rick is the smartest man in the whole universe, it’s why he’s so brazen, and yet Evil Morty has the balls to just leave the two of them together, without any doubt in his mind of what is about to happen. Both Ricks couldn’t help themselves. In the end, that’s why Evil Morty won. He accepted that trying to get Rick to take him seriously was pointless. Rick’s alcoholism, the council, his pointless invention of truly morbid creations, his careless destruction, it’s all a testament to how hollow Rick is inside, and evidence of his unending quest towards self destruction. Rick Prime’s greatest enemy wasn’t evil Morty. It was himself.
Love how everything about "Evil" Morty is just him being so done with all of this; he didn't want to have to deal with any more of this sh!t and is annoyed that he had to come deal with this to get his peaceful retirement back. He doesn't care less about the emotional investment in this story, he just wants this done so he can get back to the outside again. He only stalls long enough to get his deterrent from any further Ricks, ensure Prime Morty has no motives to do anything stupid (by bringing C137 back and handing him his revenge, Prime Morty is now stuck with the motive-less Rick distracting/controlling him) and once again remind them both to just leave him alone or they'd regret it.
Evil Morty might be the best character in the show. Every time he shows up, it feels like an event because he's used so sparingly. Rick Prime's the only other character who has the same less-is-more and must-watch aura but since he's dead, Evil Morty's the only one who makes me feel like his episodes are always going to be something special.
You know, Rick Prime does feel pathetic here. He not only can’t admit he lost, but that he lost to a Morty, so he’s trying his best to try and make his final moments a win any way he can to run away from the pain of admitting defeat. So disconnected mentally from reality by choice that it’s literally impossible to admit defeat. He’s like a wounded wolf howling the last beat howl he can give as he is being mauled to death by the new Alpha.
@@abhmmh8892 Nah, the last "You lived in my house" line shows he cracked before he died. Too bad, humiliated by a Morty and the Rick he hated the most back to back...
@@riverpirate1022 Nah dude, Prime is absolutely cooked. Don't forget that Evil Morty deactivated his regeneration and destroyed all his clones so he couldn't be back.
We know this from last season when Rick broke the portal fluid and sent all portal travellers back to their home dimensions. Including Rick Prime and our Morty.
the delivery of rick prime's last few lines where he's swallowing his blood could have NEVER been outdone by roiland. super amazing job by his new actor, especially for his first official voice acting role
@@reality1009 wow, it’s almost as if that’s exactly what he got hired to do. also nothing will rectify justin for being a pedo and a wife beater, so keep crying
No, just without need for approval. So yes, no bitching. Sometimes you kill, not because you don't care about others, but because you have reasons and not give a shit about opinion of others
I love how the whole show had Rick Prime built up as this omnipotent god like Rick and Evil Morty is like "Meh you bore me." When it comes down to it, Prime was just another Rick nothing more. Evil Morty is the smartest and most powerful character of this show. He is simply over Rick/Ricks and all the bullshit that comes with them.
morty just lived with Rick, and as if he knows everything about Ricks, how to deceive them, and so on, he wins with the help of cunning and not technology, if some Rick prepares for a battle with the Evil Morty, he will probably win.
@@kevinmclaughlin2594yeah It’s like an anime battle where one dude has a whole ass suit of armor and weapons but our main character appears and wins with only friendship.
I'll be honest making Rick Prime the Rick who abandoned his family that our Rick replaced was a legit genius twist. I didn't really think of it, but it makes lots of sense and helps recontextualize lots of the show like when Beth talks about her dad.
What I find interesting is that, the writers have said Evil Morty letting Rick kill Prime was him giving a choice to either follow through with his revenge or stop Morty from getting the plans to the Omega Device. But he didn't need to revive C-137 at all. He could have killed Rick Prime himself, left C-137 dead, and then just gone on his way. He doesn't want to just beat Rick, he wants to own him. And maybe the fact that even Evil Morty acknowleged that C-137 is a different kind of Rick, he might be intriuged by him.
Evil Morty deliberately brought Morty with him to the final fight, because he knows if Morty wasn't there then even if they win, Rick might kill himself afterwards out of a lack of purpose. I genuinely feel that Evil Morty sees our Morty and Rick as having a chance of a healthy relationship, something Evil Morty didn't get to have. And that it is so rare in the multiverse that it is worth preserving.
it’s quite possible. Remember that episode with piss master? The reason why he couldn’t save him was because he’s been dead for quite some time. After a few minutes of no oxygen to the brain it dies. So, in this particular case, Rick died couple minutes ago, and Evil Morty had time to resuscitate him.
It makes sense for evil morty to be rick primes undoing. Evil morty literally learned to overcome all ricks by using them against themselves. And rick prime is the rickest rick which could imply hes the most predictable to evil morty.
So...Rick by nature really is a bit psychotic...it's just that every alternate version of him is basically the best case scenario and the prime or original one is kind of like the real him is what I'm getting...but that's just me
When you realize that being the furthest thing from the Rickest Rick is a happier and healthier Rick. Like our Rick is trying to be for the past couple of seasons.
We actually don't have any basis for this according to what we've learned. We've learned that the first Rick to invent portal travel was a selfish jerk and the second Rick to invent portal travel was a reasonably nice person who wanted to spend more time with his family. First Rick sees this and then kills Diane (likely because our Rick proves that the First Rick had a choice to not be a hedonistic jerk) and then makes it a personal mission to ruin the lives of all Ricks who love DIane. So in short, with just those two numbers, we can glean that there are now mainly two kinds of Ricks, Jerk Ricks and traumatized Ricks. It is a bit unfair to say they are all psychotic at this point.
Everyone is when pushed to their absolute extreme limit. Even Job from the Bible, after being pushed and pushed and pushed and every last thing beyond what could be imagined was stripped from him, was found cursing God. The message on that is everyone will snap. It’s only a matter of what would do it.
Evil Morty truly hates Rick’s and feels that every Rick through infinity is exactly the same sh1tty grandpa. So for him to actually admit that our Rick is a bit different really speaks Volunes
@@sunman2849 No. Morty is Prime. Our Rick is C-137 Our Morty is Morty Prime Our Beth, Space Beth, and Summer are from C-131 (AKA Replacement, AKA Frundled). Our Jerry was from a dimension similar to C-131, but where the Smiths don't get temporarily divorced. He was swapped with C-131 Jerry (Season 2 Jerry) at the end of the Jerryboree episode. Evil Rick is Rick Prime Earth Prime was cronenberg'd by Rick C-137's love potion in season 1.
Man this is the saddest and scariest scene I ever seen with Rick's pure rage. Every punch grew stronger and tells a story that reminds u all the things rick been through
“You’re welcome by the way. I showed you infinity.” But he never wanted infinity. He wanted his family. Not one of the infinite families he has in other universes. Not even the entire multiverse. He just wanted his family.
Even though prime ricks final speech was vary condescending you can’t help but hear All the jealous rage in his voice when he explains all the stuff our Rick has done with his family. It’s like in that moment, the weight of abandoning his real family for science just to watch another man come and develop/build his family into something he never could ate him up inside. It’s just the words & his tone.
Rick prime is laughing all the time he got beaten up because that even if he's gonna die, he knows that he won. He tortured a Rick to make him become himself and he knows he'll be alive in Rick's brain to torment him.
Evil morty seems just like a genuine and stoic person. Obviously the whole president thing happened, but he seems to play it pretty straight with our Rick and morty and tell them his true intentions
He tortured dozens of other versions of himself from other directions to prove a point, and committed genocide. I uh… I don’t think anyone particularly genuine or stoic would go into such actions.
@@alexandergreene461 That is genuine. Evil Morty is evil and doesn't bother to hide it. That means he's being completely genuine because most people want to hide the most loathsome things about themselves.
This is unrelated but with the new voice actors, I love how Morty sounds less whimpy and is starting to sound grown up. With Rick, he sounds more or less the same, but when he shouts, you can hear the RAW emotion in his voice, something which Justin Roiland probably couldn't have pulled off.
I like how the new guys add their own twist to each variant. Prior every rick & morty sounded the exact same, now theres slight nuances & differences that show "hey this morty prime, this is evil morty" same with the ricks
“You’re like an evil Morty, a clever one.” Animals are “clever” when we talk about how smart they are. Rick prime, even now, couldn’t bring himself to recognize that this Morty had a real intellect to challenge a Rick.
@pasqualedigesu5418 I mean no reason they wouldn't simply reroute after dying at the citadel. Rick died like what twenty times that episodes. And no one predicted the rerouting. The other Rick's didn't understand why it happened. So I doubt Morty would understand how to stop something as random as that.
@@thomaswest2583 the fact that E. Morty managed to reroute every single Operation Phoenix protocol in the citadel mean that he found a way to control its randomness, which most likely means that those Rick and Morty who died during Season 5's finale are gone forever
@pasqualedigesu5418 I mean what's to stop it from just rerouting after all the citadel bodies die? But that's just my theory also Evil Morty never said he was gonna stop them from rerouting again. I think it was his hate of Ricks and using it to fuel his ship. I don't think he cares what happens to them after his goals get accomplished.
I have friends who dropped this season because they couldn’t get used to Rick’s new voice … it took Ian and episode or two to settle in, but by this point he’s as good or better than Roiland ever was.
@@qwertqwertyui-un1lr Transformers 3: Dark of The Moon ending, where Optimus Prime kills Sentinel Prime I was thinking about this scene in particular when I watched this segment, I was searching for someone else to make this connection :D
I noticed that Rick Prime showed actual emotion toward the very end. At first he's all cocky, talkin shit, then when Rick is beating his face in he's saying whatever he can to hurt him. All while laughing and refusing to give Rick that satisfaction. But I keep noticing how he says "You lived... in my hoooouuuse!" He sounded genuinely angry about that. Despite not caring at all about anything, that's something he seemed to take personally.
The moment roiland got sacked for beating his wife was the moment that Rick and Morty would take a completely different creative path. This episode was almost like a way to put Roiland behind and build a story that the new showrunners want to create. I'm personally for it, I am excited to see how things will evolve
i wish this were true but its really not. This season was already written and voiced by roiland before he was kicked. The new guys basically had to had to dub over the episodes
Yup, they stole his story, his characters, and ran it into the ground. It's just a cash grab for them now. This new show has terrible voices, and the story is utter trash now. RIP Rick and Morty.
So many tropes have the villain die from shinanigans or their own hand. It’s actually refreshing, in spite of the gruesome nature, to see the wronged character get his revenge in its fullest.
God the dialogue Rick Prime gives when being beat is so poetically haunting."You already did, YOU LIVED IN MY HOUSE". The pure emotion and rawness in those lines. "I showed you infinity, and what did you do with it, hangout with my grandson? Raise echos of MY daughter?!" This is by far the best writing in the show
"I dont need a robin." Okay, I'll admit it, THAT was a pretty killer line
@@DirtCatJason Todd reference
So is "Knock yourself out!"
i like how rick prime thought about it as him being batman and evil morty being a robin (sidekick, lower status in the duo basically), and even though evil morty knew what rick prime meant, he decided to piss him off even more by acting cocky and acting like he thinks rick prime should be robin.
@@GeoStreber
🤦♂️
I hate that I only get jokes sometimes when I read them.
I mean...its okay I guess.. you seem to be easily surprised
Rick Prime going from "I made you, I showed you infinity, what's your life without me?" to "you would have been me." is such a big tactic change, it shows that he's grasping at anything at all to cause damage in his last moments left.
Nope, he's telling C137 Rick that he's also a hypocrite.
@@Senth99 Desperate cries more like
@@Senth99not rlly considered c137 rick rejected his offer, n it seem like he wasn’t gonna pursue science/ tech anymore after meeting prime Rick.

Yeah, but the "not so different" speech is a little hollow when, going from what Rick Prime said, he murdered his own wife and her other versions with the Omega Weapon, not only to draw out any Ricks smart enough to be a threat to him/not willing to take him up on his offer, but just so that he only needed to record one message.
I like the reveal in this episode that our rick and rick prime are the only ricks that invented portal travel
Duffus Rick also made portal travel in the comics it’s pretty cannon
@@godofshows6085 The comics are a separate canon to the show, proven by the fact that in one of the comics there is a Jerry smarter than their universe's Rick, which would be impossible if this universe was in the central finite curve.

@@corvidreactor7356 they did try to build a wall around infinity maybe there was a complication
@@corvidreactor7356the whole show revolves around the concept of a multiverse. Literally everything is canon
"admit it, you would have been me, I just walked into your garage before you walked into mine" damn thats a good line
I don't really think it's true, I just think his paranoia and distrust of other Ricks was the root of what made Rick Prime evil. He thought killing literally every Diane in existence was justified because of an irrational fear that some other Rick would just beat him to it.
I think what was more interesting was his last line:
"You lived in my house!"
Rick Prime may have been wrong about Ricks, but C-137 let Rick Prime's actions ruin his life to the point where the two characters were practically indistinguishable psychopaths. At one point, Rick was a noble human being and a good father, but his desire for revenge completely and utterly destroyed his humanity.
@@sheepuff5999then I wonder how rick primes Diane died.?
@@Brolys-driphe probably killed her himself
@@Brolys-drip she either khs after sometime and give summer to an orphage.
Or

@@elcalabozodelandroide2Summer?
That line "You lived in my house" from Rick prime was pretty powerful like you could feel the emotion like it was mixed with anger and regret
Maybe, just maybe for a moment at the end, he did regret abandoning his family and later killing his own wife and daughter. Maybe this monster briefly felt a tinge of the humanity he thought he left behind, as he was pummeled to death in righteous fury by an alternate version of himself who hasn’t yet become a monster, not entirely.
@@Ultimaton100he never killed his own daughter. OUR rick killed his beth.
@@shazaalala28yeah but still. Killing infinite versions of your wife has to warp you psychologically
@@shazaalala28not directly though, more out of neglect
@@shazaalala28 No he didn't. Our Rick's Beth died with Diane as a kid when they were about to go get ice cream
My favorite part that i've never seen anyone mention is that there is no tech involved.
No guns, no lasers, no portals, no enhancements. He didn't use his genius to torture him for a million years or melt him from the inside.
This is just a man, beating the shit out the guy who took what he loved the most.
I think Rick did want to torture him or something, but he didn’t want to risk Rick Prime escaping from him again.
And there’s no telling what he would’ve done after that.
I think it’s kind of a metaphor. If you take away the tech from these ricks it shows you what they add to their core. A broken man with a lifetime of bitterness and depression as well as a witty, taunting sadistic psychopath
Realistically even the strongest man alive couldn't punch someone so hard half their face caves in and blood splatters across the room, so at the very least I'd assume Rick's implants increase his strength to superhuman levels and he's still using that in this scene.
@@MrAppleSaladPunch someone enough times and, yeah, it can create a whole lot of blood. (I grew up in a fucked up place when I was a kid and saw stuff like that). Also noses can really piss blood all over if hit right. Like, a damn hose pipe. But yeah his cybernetic strength definitely let him cave his face in
He went full kratos
the final nail in Rick Prime's coffin was a Morty setting all of this up, casually ignoring everything Rick was saying and just being like "yup, uh huh, that's great pal." while neutralizing Rick from the inside out and throwing him to the wolves
When Rick Prime gets a harsh lesson that he's not the top dog in the multiverse anymore. Just an annoyance to the current one.
Kinda like what he did with prime Jerry.
Well after years of dealing with a Rick and basically destroying the Citadel, a whole utopia of Ricks, he's basically used to them to the point that their taunts mean nothing to him.
Man was done before the plans even downloaded 😂
Honestly through out story of show I learned on thing. To be Rick all you need is kind ignore him. His words, threats or praises. Even when kills you by ignoring him you dissatisfy him, you don’t let him have last laugh.
The episode felt more like a season finale
Ngl it really did feel like it
Or even a series finale
That was the point. By the end of it we feel like Rick. With an underwhelming feeling of "now what". And life, as the season, continues after the climax without as knowing what comes next.
I know this seem too early plus now wut he was the cause of him going into science in the first place member ? blue pants him passed on that offer.
Or series finale.
This really highlights why Evil Morty is a great “antagonist”. Despite his name, he’s not really evil. He just hates Rick, is straight up done with him, and wants to be free.
He even confirms later that he took the omega device plans not because he’s planning to destroy Rick, but rather he’s holding it as an insurance policy to be left alone.
He murdered and kidnapped Morty’s and forced his Rick to be a puppet when he could have just killed him or quit like he said.
He’s definitely evil.
@@pokemonjhotomaster
It wouldn’t be enough. He had to get out of the central finite curve or else he’d just get sucked into another Rick’s bullshit. Even then, it was difficult because Rick disturbed him looking for Prime.
Evil Morty didn’t want to be anywhere near Rick. He wanted to break free in every sense of the word by any means necessary.
@@rodrickgoldberg2324 it would be all he had to do was tell Rick “No” if he asked again or just go to one of the *multiple* dimensions where Rick is dead.
@@pokemonjhotomaster Nope he's actually the good Morty, and the Mortiest Morty.
99% of Ricks are the evil ones, with Prime being the top.
Life throw hurdles, how are you going to react?
For those saying it feels like a season finale I think that was kinda the point. I feel like the writers want to make the audience feel the same emptiness Rick feels throughout the rest of the season, hence making this episode halfway through the season. If this is the case I’m interested to see where they take ricks character.
Great job articulating what a lot of us felt. Really good explanation on your part, appreciate it brother.
This one right here FBI, yeah, the mind reader leaking showrunner secrets
I like your theory much better.
nothing is better than good Ol president episode
Maybe they're setting up Evil Morty to be the big bad. Now that C137 feels empty after killing Prime Rick, the writers are prolly going to write him towards choosing a new life purpose, perhaps stopping Evil Morty for good.
I loved this episode so much. The raw emotion was incredibly done. The "YOU LIVED IN MY HOUSE!" line gets to me every single time.
"The house you left and the family you abandoned." Would've been a cold ass comeback imo.
@@jmsgridiron5628He couldn’t go back to his family because Rick would be there waiting
@@somm150our rick cares way more about family than prime rick does for sure

Prime Rick cared about his family, but somehow Rick C-137 was able to hijack his home and force Prime to flee. There was a lot of pain in his voice when he said his final words. @@TheGodofwarkratos12
I find it neat. As many people that say Rick Prime was "emotionless" or just laughing at his incoming demise, if you even listen slightly, you can hear his voice fucking up and wavering several times. The laughing is desperation, not self-assuredness/apathy.
hes hurt and choking on blood
@@RickySanchez2146yeah.
true he was upset that C-137 a leaser Rick lived in HIS house with HIS family

The new voice actors for both Rick and Morty really nailed it this episode, ESPECIALLY Rick's. Like holy shit, the way he made Rick prime sound so angry and hysterically amused while simultaneously being beaten to death was phenomenal.
I literally forgot he had a new voice till you pointed it out!
They definitely don't need Justin Roiland anymore.
@@antoniorojascortez135and it's kinda amazing. The actors they found sound exactly the same as him
The "I'LL KILL YOU" part that Rick screamed out at Prime after Uncle Slow was killed was extremely raw and emotional, something Roiland probably couldn't pull off.
Can't wait for Season 8 when Ian can get even better at doing Rick's voice
Ah no, I disagree. While it’s pretty close for morty, Rick just sounds off. Sadly he gets close, but not close enough to where you can just move on from it, at least in my case
“I just walked into your garage before you walked into mine.” I wish more people pointed out the fact that Rick C-137 was just about ready to become a Simple Rick and give up on teleportation (based on his memory sequence in S3 E1) so that he could live a simple life with Diane. He was only pushed to discover portal travel once Rick Prime stole his happiness. Rick Prime only said this line to try and get a one-up on him, but it just adds to the pathetic dialogue he has in this scene (not saying the writing itself is pathetic, but it’s clear that RP is really scraping for ANY pettiness he can get in before dying).
If it wasn't Rick Prime, something else would have taken Dianne away, and it would have both triggered and motivated c-137 to invent portal travel
@@Dirkoin Doubtful. C-137 seemed to only get the inspo to make portal travel once Rick Prime showed it to him. Portal travel is also the guaranteed way to hunt down and get revenge on Rick Prime.
He said raised echoes of my daughter ok RP
I mean technically Beth Prime was killed by other Ricks when she got frozen
We'll probably never get any confirmation on this, but if I had to guess, Rick Prime got a glimpse of "infinity", and as a result abandoned his family. Eventually he felt guilty about it, but instead of going back, he traveled to other dimensions and offered "infinity" to other Ricks, as a way to prove that any Rick would have made the call he did. But C137 didn't, and that pissed him off, so he killed Diane. Prime hates C137 as much as C137 hates him, because he's living proof that Rick Sanchez isn't a God, just a selfish asshole.
I don't think it's just C-137 Rick, for example all those other Ricks that were trapped in that black goo thing chose their family, that Rick Prime took from them, over "Infinity". I assume that not every Rick he came across thought like him and it made him feel inferior, so instead of accepting that he was shit for making the wrong choice, he took Diane out of every universe. And he made every Rick into an alcoholic, reckless, chaotic, self-loathing piece of shit. Just like him. And he's the worst. The Rickest Rick...
@@ronin7561only logical reason C-137 isn’t immediately added to the goop is because of all these brilliant minds Rick prime brought to ruin, one of them needed to stop him and it just so happens to be the Rick we follow
@@ronin7561Rick Prime is how Evil Morty sees the world. It makes his actions much more understandable.
yeah, that's an interesting theory. it would explain why Rick Prime would feel such anger at C137 taking his place and the regret in his voice.
That's a very interesting thought, like C137 is Prime's shadow, the part of himself that's good, so he hates that part, and tried to turn it as cynical and empty as him by destroying his greatest love.
"Knock yourself out"
I just got the joke.
How tf did that fly over my head LOL
The best part is that I don't think it was intentional
I did not realize that 😆
Oh yeah, not bad lol I didn’t realize either
lol I genuinely can’t figure out if that was intentional or not
There's so much more going on here than just Rick avenging his wife. Rick Prime is the reason Rick became the narcissistic, apathetic, miserable drunk that he's been for the whole show.
But now? He's going to Therapy, he's setting boundaries with his family. He's becoming a better person.
Rick isnt just killing his wife's murderer, he's killing the horrible person he used to be.
Está matando a lo que el se hubiera convertido sino hubiera encontrado una familia

And going back to my point to him wanting to be left alone, even Morty asks if Evil Morty truly wants to be left alone, and that he wouldnt use the Omega Device (which the data and blueprint to make one he stole from Rick Prime when he incapacitated him after the fight), which Evil Morty replied to "because using a weapon like this doesn't get you left alone, Morty" which further states that Evil Morty won't bother them, unless he is bothered or provoked in the first place.
@@Somespideronline damn straight
What grew with each punch wasn‘t Rick‘s Anger, it was the sheer amount of pain he carried throughout the many Years he had to be reminded of his Wife and Daughter being killed by this poor excuse for a Man, that left his Family and didn‘t care the slightest about them or any other Person than himself. This Rick truly was the worst…
Reminder that Rick also abandoned Prime Beth and she is now dead along with all the others in Cronenberg world.
What is interesting tho is one of Rick primes last words "you wouldve been me if it was you" which he implied that if our rick was the first rick to invent portal travel would he also have chosen science over his family?
@@TrophyThomas no i mean like if wed see a future version of ourselves that is bad in your pov would we continue on the path to this future? We probably wouldnt
The only difference is that rick saw what or knew already what was waiting for him thanks to rick prime and chose his family because in that moment he wasnt as invested in science and thought it wasnt worth it which rick prime was the end result of a rick being completely invested in science and wanting other ricks to do what he does
@@TrophyThomas I think our rick would've turned out more like Simple Rick if left alone , plus he was inventing local dimensional travel before Rick Prime gave him the idea of multiversal
@@Ray_D_Tutto To be fair, he has no attachment to Prime Beth like he does Prime Morty. It took 7 seasons of growth for Rick to reach a point where he has begun to once again care about the people around him.

I love how evil morty doesn't give a fuck.
C137 won't chase him but others who want to kill Rick will.

Rick beating him to death was the perfect way for him to go out, I only wish there was a tougher battle/more build up. But I guess that’s kinda the point, evil Morty wanted ricks greatest triumph to give him nothing but emptiness. After all, once you finally accomplished the one goal that’s defined your whole existence, where do you go from there?
I agree seeing him die this way makes a lot more sense then anything else
Back to bed. I mean Rick has caused a lot of problems and Evil Morty is only here because he is so done with Rick. Whether he feels triumphant or not the fact of the matter is it's all finally over and people over all reality can get some peace or at the very best no Rick getting in their life/business.
Dealing with that stand by mode in my life right now.
i just think the writers are trying to punish the fans invested in the serialized drama they're constantly whining about writing.
Some kill themselves.
Others retire and just chill until they eventually die.
The rest find God and go pursue a new purpose in life.
I love that in the end, Rick Prime didnt die in a flashy, over the top way. Just Rick and his fists, and all the anger and grief and hate he held for him all those years.
Woman, you scary!
@Ghaztoir Clearly you haven't seen Kratos have you😂😂😂
They speak of that in one of the behind the scenes sippets. The idea that it was only fists showed a lot more rage, suffering, talking back, and overall emotion. Can't do that with chainsaw tongues and hidden gadgets.

"Let's find out."
"I just walked into your garage before you walked into mine"

Love how’s theres no music.
In my audio class, silence is considered a sound itself. Like a “sound of no sound” kind of thing
And I’ve been told that for writing movies/shows, silence can perfectly convey how serious or dark a scene can really be.
No Country for Old Men is a perfect example of this concept.
@@parrase I just saw that movie recently and yes I would say that is the biggest and the absolute best demonstration of of it
most scenes in rick and morty have no music.
@@parrase Also Invincible Season 1 Episode 1 when Omni-Man is fighting the Guardians of the Globe, there is battle music at first, but shortly into the fight, the music fades and we're left with nothing but the brutal hits and grunts of these powerhouses battling to the death. IMO I think that's what made that scene so iconic and amazing, it really put emphasis on the extreme brutality Omni-Man was delivering to his former friends and allies.
Silence in movies has to be carefully recorded in the actual room the scene takes place in, because silence isn't all the same.
"I don't need a robin" that line was awesome and chilling
This was SATISFYING as hell. I kept replaying it was so good. Especially that "You LIVE in my HOUSE!" line.
Prime Rick got that "I got one more in me" energy.
Lol I laughed at that one. He hasn’t been to that house in decades. Government would have declared it abandoned property and seized it by now if his wife hadn’t claimed it (and then gave it to her daughter by inheritance) He has absolutely no right to claim it’s ‘his house’.

This is hands down the best episode of Season 7 and one of the show's best episodes. Im amazed they decided to have him get his revenge in the season's midpoint. Seeing Rick realise how empty and dissatisfied he is at accomplishing his revenge has made him feel so haunting yet surreal to watch. I also imagine he's going to go through an existential crisis trying to figure out what his purpose is now that he's killed his nemesis. Honestly, I think they ended the Rick Prime story so soon, at around the halfway point of the season, so we, the audience, could feel just as empty and dissatisfied as Rick did after. The new voice actor for Rick really delivered when it came to this episode.
Also Evil Morty was such a cool inclusion in this episode.
Fair point. These sort of episodes are usually the finale so we're left wondering what's next with a sense of emptiness with what's left to do - exactly like Rick.
@@BlueAversion and yet I think they did it in the middle on purpose to make the audience feel as unsatisfied with rick primes death as rick is
Feel like it's almost the perfect opportunity for the voice actors, we get to see the different emotions they can display for the characters now and see how the series will move on from there.
Don’t forget he has another nemesis…….mr.nimbus which Rick has stated in the past
@@richardhayling4339 I don't think that counts though; Rick seems perfectly content with ignoring Mr. Nimbus as long and as often as he possibly can, he's not out for his head like with Prime.
The whole “Knock yourself out” line is just amazing, because that’s exactly what he does. He knocks “himself” out. Very “on the nose” as well. Lol
Didn't pick that up, well spotted.
Does a little more than that, I think.
Okay I think the reason Evil Morty was able to beat Rick Prime is mainly because Rick Prime is a master at fighting Rick’s so he isn’t that used to fighting a smart Morty because it’s usually a Rick that always comes to find him, which is why he is so used to beating them
Yeah usually ricks come after not super powerful Morty’s
Rick is all ego
It took both Rick C-137 and Evil Morty to beat Prime on top of Prime Morty being a decoy. If any of those 3 pieces were missing or if Rick Prime didn't underestimate Morty, Prime would beat any of them. His hubris got in the way l, which led to an opening that caused his death.
I think it was more along the lines of him underestimating evil Morty. He really didn’t even view evil Morty as even a threat until he was finally captured.
The 'Rickest Rick' wouldn't expect a Morty of all people to beat him
Fun fact: Intestines can be arrange by their own if you scrambled them like rubiks cube and put them back they will go back in place nothing happen
So if my belly was open and my intestines are out, I just shove them back in?
@@king_garnet_morganyep, that’s what doctors do after surgery
@@king_garnet_morgan im guessing thats exactly what they did in war, just give some drugs to nulls the pain and put it all inside and do sew it back and fight like nothing happened.
God damn. is that true? Guess that’s something I missed when teaching myself human physiology.
The way how intestines are stuffed naturally in your body was random anyway.
The new VA for Rick really cooked here. The fact he was able to convey a different emotion for C-137 and for Rick Prime. I didnt notice that these two were voiced by one man at first till i watched this. Well done indeed.
“Knock yourself out” that was a GREAT line 😂 Rick did more than knock HIMSELF out 😂😂
I've watched this countless of times and haven't realized it untill I saw your comment, WOW, that's a good line. Thanks hahaha
Wow!!!
there are probably 100’s of puns and jokes i haven’t noticed or get
The sad part is Rick Prime doesn’t really know that Evil Morty pretty much already had his get mad at grandpa breaking moment
when was that?
@@blair5475 It was the cold open of the episode which pretty much was a lore dump of Evil Morty backstory
@@blackdemonknight So evil Morty kidnapped his grandpa and made him do whatever Evil Morty wanted? Before killing him?
@@blair5475yup. That’s why his grandpa told the mortys to “end his misery”.
Hell, he's had it twice at this point
The punch after "I showed you infinity" is poetic, he didn't want infinity he wanted his family. The simplicity of it.
I have more and more respect for "Evil Morty" with each appearance in the show. Wow. What a great character for this show. Hopefully, we'll see a bit more of him before it's all said and done. 👌🏾
He was always the main antagonist. A lot of people just assumed he was written off after the season 5 finale but he’s too good a character. Having the big bad be a morty duplicate is more intriguing than a Rick antagonist.
@@kevinmccabe3984he’s more of an anti-hero/anto-villain. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone. Just doesn’t want to be a part of this cycle. He did have to kill Rick Prime to achieve that. But never cared about Rick Prime. He was just a mere obstacle.

@@kevinmccabe3984yea ppl keep forgetting that he is literally the evil morty😂
@@swearimnotarobot3746 he lobotomized and enslaved his Rick and prevented him from committing suicide because he needed him alive to kidnap other Mortys... his Rick was an asshole, but if it was really just about getting away from him, he could have just quit.
I find it funny how the death of Rick Prime by a Morty was basically just how he almost died to Jerry Prime. He walks straight up to someone with the belief he is invincible but instead of taking a knife to the throat, he actually gets hit by something lethal.
I guess that kind of showcases Morty though as a son/grandson. Someone who has Jerry's survival instincts but also has the tech to make the most use of it.
Morty’s definitely the best of both worlds. As pathetic as Jerry is, he’s got a surprising amount of savviness, both in survival and in social skills, to an extent (even if he got fired, the fact that he worked at an advertising company implies some amount of social skills) When they got their toxins removed Morty was hella successful, becoming a top class businessman, the same way Evil Morty rose to the presidency. Our Morty probably can’t MAKE the kind of tech rick can at the moment, but considering he’s got the genes of the currently most badass Jerry and the Former Rickest Rick, he’s got a scary amount of potential in his genetic code.
He actually died the same way; underestimating a non-Rick
@@atomicgummygod9232Jerry has proven his ability to adapt and survive the very instant social pressures disappear. Once he is freed from the prison of polite society, Jerry Smith can become a force to be reckoned with.
@@alienvseditor to be fair he went straight for a throat slash.
A certain shock hit me when I realized that Rick prime knew VERY WELL who Rick c-137 was
During the episode he tries to imply that he did the same thing with an infinite number of Ricks, and that he doesn't even know which one is which.
"Ah, the wife guy!"
But "YOU LIVED IN MY HOUSE" line makes it clear that Prime knew C-137 was waiting for him the whole time.
"The only two Ricks who actually invented travel between interdimensional portals"
These are all phrases impossible to use with ANY other Rick
Prime was as obsessed with c-137 as c-137 was with him.
Just realised that, but how did prime know c137 was waiting for him though?
@@Lie-detector1540 Maybe he knows when another Rick arrives at his universe, like an alarm or something
@@th3fps304 makes sense, he does have better tech (I think) and can beat c137 mid-thigh diff so he probably would have something like that
Edit: ahh yes thigh diff
@th3fps304 Rick has the alarm for when decoys are killed so the concept isn't brand new. Basically he might have that type of alarm but it detects Rick's coming and going through dimensions.
Yeah i thought when we would see rick prime he would have no idea who our rick was as he's hurt so many people what's one more?
That "YOU LIVED IN MY HOUSE" line is even more brutal than you think. Literally yes, Rick did live in Rick Prime's family's house, but that's not all he meant. Rick Prime thinks of himself as the ultimate Rick. He truly did seem to be a step above the others, and he would have been basically invincible, even to other Ricks. This character basically encapsulates Rick's "I can do whatever I want because I'm smarter than all of you" attitude, to a villainous new extreme. When he said "You lived in my house", he basically meant that Rick has spent his entire life in his shadow, whether he realized it or not. Because of his ego, Rick Prime really believed no one could ever be better than him, so the entire central finite curve (or his "house", so to speak) has always been his to conquer, and everyone and everything that exists within it only continues to exist because he allowed it. And even if Rick kills him (which he did) it wouldn't change the fact that he is still just an echo of the one true Rick.
I took it to mean the literal “house” and figuratively the house of the central finite curve yeah
Then he gets outsmarted by a Morty. Dude had a high opinion of himself.
Or it could mean he lived in his house because he did
Nah, I think you read to much into this. He could've said "my multiverse" if he meant the central finite curve. But he didn't create the central finite curve, Rick C137 did. So it never was his "house". It is probabel that Rick Prime lived outside of the curve since we only encountered him after it got destroyed!
So your take has no legs to stand on.
What kind of pseudo intellectual victim blaming is this pile of shit comment 😂
Super impressed by Rick's new voice actor in this scene!

Exactly how it should be. Prime’s a full blown sociopathic narcissist. Any sort of dialogue just fuels his self importance ego meter, and he absolutely does not deserve that. He deserves to be thrown out the window like Rednecks tossing their beer cans out to the highway whenever they think the coast is clear.
DUUUUDE THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING 😂
@@BurningSorrows now imagine if this was Justin’s va during this scene. It would be super brutal & very uncomfortable because of how he delivers a horrifying death voice while being beaten to death.

@@JoeFanik living? Enjoy what life offers the next days? Spending actual fun adventures with his adoptive alternative family & Morty?
I love that even Prime seemed thrown off guard by E.Morty pulling Rick’s “corpse” into the room.
Despite all his talk, he did NOT know where that one was going for a good second there.
I love this interaction so much. Rick Prime reallly drove into him how without me you are nothing. You hung out with MY grandson, raised MY daughter, you lived in MY house and laughing at him while saying it. He knows these are the last words he'll ever say to him and because of that these will be wedged into his mind forever.
They shouldn’t be given even a grain of salt. He abandoned that all for decades. Hell, by law, had it just been all about him, the government would have repossessed ‘his’ house decades ago. That only didn’t happen because his wife was there and intervened, taking ownership so she could raise their daughter safely.
He has absolutely zero ownership or claim to anything. This loser’s biggest accomplishment in his life is ‘LoLz I dItChEd MuH fAMiLy!!!’ How f^cking sad and pathetic is that? I know 137 has built an epic life for himself hunting him down + joining a resistance at some point, but Prime’s life seems pathetic even to the Rick who’s tears they sucked to make happy bars.
Main Rick stares at the bloody pile of meat and mechanics before him, "You're a miserable piece of shit that discovered eternity, but then wasted it, obsessing over making sure that every other Rick was just a lesser version of you. I just lived the life you left behind; the life you stole from me."
@@silverblade357based
And shaking as he does so, probably desperate to try and get any last barbs in because consequences have FINALLY caught up to him.
…The laughter sounds like it devolves into sobbing at the end. As he screams “YOU LIVED IN MY *HOUSE!*”. Damn. I guess not even Rick prime is completely free of attachment to his old life.
Because in the end, even he is only human. As much as he tries to pretend he's perfectly rational and emotionless, he's not. And that pisses him off to no end.
@@jonquilgemstone Rick Prime is essentially the person C-137 pretended to be in the beginning, and not even he could escape his humanity.. that explains why he wanted to erase his own daughter and wife from existence so that he could never become attached to them again, or other ricks. what a monster... and like all narcissistic god-complex assholes, he got what was coming to him and his overconfidence and underestimation of others was his greatest weakness to be exploited.
Naw...it's the fact the pain is kicking in lol dude head is smashed in lol
I think this explains the relationship that Rick had with the family in the first season. He didn't bother to left his new family behind because he knew it wasnt his. All those years, searching for revenge and traveling across the multiverse gave him a nihilist vision of the existence. So in order to avoid more depression and emptiness, he just tried the easy family life he always wanted, but it was difficult for him. Maybe he got more along with Morty since he was the child he always wanted to raise. So by the end of season 1, he admits he loves now his grandsons. He also improves his relationship with Beth, he even befriends Jerry, showing more sympathy towards him in the last seasons. So in this point, I dont think he would replace his family ever again, and also accidentally exchanging Jerry. Also, let's not forget that everytime he changed to another universe, it was one where things were exaclty the same, except by the fact that he died, so his current Beth is just 'echoes' from prime Beth
Me da risa que prime mato a la familia de Rick y Rick mato a la familia de prime
Something that actually surprised me in Prime's death is that eventually, he stops laughing when he screams "You lived in MY house!". And after that you can't make out if he's still laughing or if he has started to cry in frustration.
I think that Rick Prime liked to play this cat and mouse game with C-137 to make him feel as powerless as he felt.
I think what makes this so perfect is it’s a perfect expression of Rick. Rick Prime is just mildly annoyed with Morty and still can’t take him seriously, even when Morty holds all the cards.
The way he frowns in surprise when evil morty drags the Rick he took everything away from shows him beginning to realize the seriousness of the situation, yet he can only take things seriously when he’s looking in the mirror, aka looking at himself. He can’t even help himself, he goes back to minimizing evil Morty and saying “ok fine I get it.” He is facing imminent death and all he can say to evil Morty is “fine I get it, you can stop now. I’m still not taking you seriously.”
Then Evil Morty, diabolically, masterfully, completely abandons the two of them and just leaves. Ricks created the citadel, Rick is the smartest man in the whole universe, it’s why he’s so brazen, and yet Evil Morty has the balls to just leave the two of them together, without any doubt in his mind of what is about to happen.
Both Ricks couldn’t help themselves. In the end, that’s why Evil Morty won. He accepted that trying to get Rick to take him seriously was pointless.
Rick’s alcoholism, the council, his pointless invention of truly morbid creations, his careless destruction, it’s all a testament to how hollow Rick is inside, and evidence of his unending quest towards self destruction.
Rick Prime’s greatest enemy wasn’t evil Morty. It was himself.
Perfect
Quite the comment.
This scene made me completely forget that they even changed VAs, and I’m all for it
I also forgot abt that lol
Ian fucking killed this scene, like I actually sort of doubt Justin’s delivery could have been this intense
I like 1:32 Prime feels disrespected because our Rick instead of becoming like Prime, Rick stayed and cared for Prime's family and that enraged Prime.
Love how everything about "Evil" Morty is just him being so done with all of this; he didn't want to have to deal with any more of this sh!t and is annoyed that he had to come deal with this to get his peaceful retirement back. He doesn't care less about the emotional investment in this story, he just wants this done so he can get back to the outside again. He only stalls long enough to get his deterrent from any further Ricks, ensure Prime Morty has no motives to do anything stupid (by bringing C137 back and handing him his revenge, Prime Morty is now stuck with the motive-less Rick distracting/controlling him) and once again remind them both to just leave him alone or they'd regret it.
Evil Morty might be the best character in the show. Every time he shows up, it feels like an event because he's used so sparingly. Rick Prime's the only other character who has the same less-is-more and must-watch aura but since he's dead, Evil Morty's the only one who makes me feel like his episodes are always going to be something special.
1:21 the fact that Rick not only denied his request but was test to live the “simple Rick” life disproved this entire point.

You know, Rick Prime does feel pathetic here. He not only can’t admit he lost, but that he lost to a Morty, so he’s trying his best to try and make his final moments a win any way he can to run away from the pain of admitting defeat. So disconnected mentally from reality by choice that it’s literally impossible to admit defeat. He’s like a wounded wolf howling the last beat howl he can give as he is being mauled to death by the new Alpha.

I love how the whole show had Rick Prime built up as this omnipotent god like Rick and Evil Morty is like "Meh you bore me." When it comes down to it, Prime was just another Rick nothing more. Evil Morty is the smartest and most powerful character of this show. He is simply over Rick/Ricks and all the bullshit that comes with them.
Well, he did leave the multiverse where Rick was the smartest being alive and his ceiling might have been higher than Ricks outside of it.
morty just lived with Rick, and as if he knows everything about Ricks, how to deceive them, and so on, he wins with the help of cunning and not technology, if some Rick prepares for a battle with the Evil Morty, he will probably win.
Yeah, I bet all Ricks can also not help to underestimate any Morty, which will always give Evil Morty an edge over any Rick. @@bb-xz7gs
@@bb-xz7gs Don't you think that makes Evil Morty more dangerous though? The fact he doesn't solely rely on technology to defeat his opponents.
@@kevinmclaughlin2594yeah
It’s like an anime battle where one dude has a whole ass suit of armor and weapons but our main character appears and wins with only friendship.
I'll be honest making Rick Prime the Rick who abandoned his family that our Rick replaced was a legit genius twist. I didn't really think of it, but it makes lots of sense and helps recontextualize lots of the show like when Beth talks about her dad.
What I find interesting is that, the writers have said Evil Morty letting Rick kill Prime was him giving a choice to either follow through with his revenge or stop Morty from getting the plans to the Omega Device. But he didn't need to revive C-137 at all. He could have killed Rick Prime himself, left C-137 dead, and then just gone on his way. He doesn't want to just beat Rick, he wants to own him. And maybe the fact that even Evil Morty acknowleged that C-137 is a different kind of Rick, he might be intriuged by him.
Evil Morty deliberately brought Morty with him to the final fight, because he knows if Morty wasn't there then even if they win, Rick might kill himself afterwards out of a lack of purpose. I genuinely feel that Evil Morty sees our Morty and Rick as having a chance of a healthy relationship, something Evil Morty didn't get to have. And that it is so rare in the multiverse that it is worth preserving.
Are we going to ignore Evil Morty literally cured death on screen - something Rick admits to be one of the only few things he can not do?
it’s quite possible. Remember that episode with piss master? The reason why he couldn’t save him was because he’s been dead for quite some time. After a few minutes of no oxygen to the brain it dies. So, in this particular case, Rick died couple minutes ago, and Evil Morty had time to resuscitate him.
rick probably got knocked out, not dead
@@tiqosc1809all his guts were out, wasn't even breathing 😅
@@decidueyezealot8611 I mean people who do surgery also expose their guts, they aren't dead
I noticed that also with the next episode after morty’s screw up with the “bully gun”, Rick resurrects morty with some kind of special serum.
It makes sense for evil morty to be rick primes undoing. Evil morty literally learned to overcome all ricks by using them against themselves. And rick prime is the rickest rick which could imply hes the most predictable to evil morty.
“Knock yourself out”
just got that
Lmao ig I'm too dumb to get the pun first time
So...Rick by nature really is a bit psychotic...it's just that every alternate version of him is basically the best case scenario and the prime or original one is kind of like the real him is what I'm getting...but that's just me
When you realize that being the furthest thing from the Rickest Rick is a happier and healthier Rick. Like our Rick is trying to be for the past couple of seasons.
We actually don't have any basis for this according to what we've learned. We've learned that the first Rick to invent portal travel was a selfish jerk and the second Rick to invent portal travel was a reasonably nice person who wanted to spend more time with his family.
First Rick sees this and then kills Diane (likely because our Rick proves that the First Rick had a choice to not be a hedonistic jerk) and then makes it a personal mission to ruin the lives of all Ricks who love DIane.
So in short, with just those two numbers, we can glean that there are now mainly two kinds of Ricks, Jerk Ricks and traumatized Ricks. It is a bit unfair to say they are all psychotic at this point.

“You’re welcome by the way. I showed you infinity.”
But he never wanted infinity. He wanted his family. Not one of the infinite families he has in other universes. Not even the entire multiverse. He just wanted his family.
Even though prime ricks final speech was vary condescending you can’t help but hear All the jealous rage in his voice when he explains all the stuff our Rick has done with his family. It’s like in that moment, the weight of abandoning his real family for science just to watch another man come and develop/build his family into something he never could ate him up inside. It’s just the words & his tone.
Rick prime is laughing all the time he got beaten up because that even if he's gonna die, he knows that he won. He tortured a Rick to make him become himself and he knows he'll be alive in Rick's brain to torment him.

This is unrelated but with the new voice actors, I love how Morty sounds less whimpy and is starting to sound grown up. With Rick, he sounds more or less the same, but when he shouts, you can hear the RAW emotion in his voice, something which Justin Roiland probably couldn't have pulled off.
I like how the new guys add their own twist to each variant. Prior every rick & morty sounded the exact same, now theres slight nuances & differences that show "hey this morty prime, this is evil morty" same with the ricks
“You’re like an evil Morty, a clever one.”
Animals are “clever” when we talk about how smart they are. Rick prime, even now, couldn’t bring himself to recognize that this Morty had a real intellect to challenge a Rick.

Bro was like are you gonna leave me in this chair
Remember when Ricks backup was destroyed but he still came back but he was rerouted to the strimp and nazi dimension
Evil Morty already handled that thing back in Season 5, where he rerouted all of the Rick and Morty backups from the citadel to power up his device
@pasqualedigesu5418 I mean no reason they wouldn't simply reroute after dying at the citadel. Rick died like what twenty times that episodes. And no one predicted the rerouting. The other Rick's didn't understand why it happened. So I doubt Morty would understand how to stop something as random as that.
Morty with this system killed every copies. Every robotic, every organic...
@@thomaswest2583 the fact that E. Morty managed to reroute every single Operation Phoenix protocol in the citadel mean that he found a way to control its randomness, which most likely means that those Rick and Morty who died during Season 5's finale are gone forever
@pasqualedigesu5418 I mean what's to stop it from just rerouting after all the citadel bodies die? But that's just my theory also Evil Morty never said he was gonna stop them from rerouting again. I think it was his hate of Ricks and using it to fuel his ship. I don't think he cares what happens to them after his goals get accomplished.

That " knock yourself self out" line pretty much summarize this scene

But I keep noticing how he says "You lived... in my hoooouuuse!" He sounded genuinely angry about that. Despite not caring at all about anything, that's something he seemed to take personally.
