He's evil because of the steps he took to achieve his goal, not the goal itself. But at the same time, he's no more evil than an evil Rick, because a lot of Ricks out there would happily sacrifice any Morty or alternate Rick to achieve their goal as well. He's a product of his surroundings; his surroundings being Rick.
Morty’s reaction to seeing ricks past was a little interesting. All he says is “dead wife?” Which makes me wonder if he also knew his mother died too and that he would have never been born into C-137’s family so technically speaking he never had a true morty and thats why when morty identified himself as morty C-137 those ricks looked at each other funny because it’s impossible
The strange thing is his dialogue reflected my own personal thoughts, just short of what I realized about myself recently though. I'll shoot straight, I inhibited myself. I censored who I was to the point where I was a self detriment. I was clouded by self doubt because I cared so much about what other people would think about me, even years after they left my life through repeated painful memories, placing expectations on my self that I thought they would want from me I couldn't possibly fulfill. The thing was I didn't realize I had been doing it, that this was the source of my anxiety for at least a couple decades that debilitated my social expression growing up. I didn't realize what I was doing until I stopped giving so much weight into what others expect of me to the point where I'd keep my true intentions & self expression a secret. I became far more skeptical of all the subjective nonsense I chose to ingrain into myself from other sources that simply weren't necessarily true, even from my own family, & I became somewhat more confident in my own thoughts. As if I'm far more versatile than the version of me I thought I was. I started being more honest with myself, & I stopped digging myself into a such a deep hole of unnecessary conformity. We can't possibly please everyone. No matter who you are there will always be opposition because everybody is looking out for number one in some regard, & we're not necessarily number one to them. Dare to be yourself anyway & hope your loved ones can understand; communicate while accepting your perception is not the absolute, think outside yourself, try to understand others through position projection as a way to make sense of their asserted beliefs, & respond as best you can with carefully thought consideration of whom you're talking to while asserting your filtered point. I hope Mr. Poopybutthole can do the same & salvage his life & loved ones if possible. It's not too late to bring about change, no matter the inevitable consequences our choices make. Learn from the mistake-filled past, make your choices in the present, & build towards a future never set in stone. The future people want for themselves won't get here unless they acknowledge the problems they can moderate in the now & work towards diminishing them. Ignoring them will simply allow them to fester until they break them down. Choose to break the cycle, the way only you can. Try to understand your own habits, why you've been doing them, & ask yourself rather or not these are habits you really want to keep doing - habits you have the conscious capability to drop.
Not my own idea saw it on another comment section but really liked it. Ricks color in the series is blue while Morty is yellow. So in most universes the completed portal gun is green a mix of both their colors. Rick's failed portals pre Morty were just blue. Evil Morty is breaking the cycle and getting rid of ricks controlling him is cutting the blue out of the green portal leaving one with his color alone the yellow portal. Its was just really good symbolism using their colors alone.
@@kevind2529 Yeah the blue is ricks teleport portal. But I also thought of it as his time before Morty. But there is defiantly a time period he had the green portal without Morty just in the flashback alone. I was just thinking that the majority of ricks would have the portal tech alongside a Morty especially if they were brought into the citadel where we see the whole Morty market. Its funny just how much a few color changes can make you think lol. Blue would be where simple ricks would leave off Green is when they become the strongest in the universe and they would get a Morty And yellow was when a Morty broke free from the curve.
You missed the part when rick came home after seeing his crows with crowscare saying wubba lubba dub dub. Which means he was unhappy at that time. Good detail
I think when Rick said "It's a metaphor for capitalism" he was making fun off fan theories burning every rick and morty skit/joke down to a metaphor for capitalism.
I think he was making a joke about Akira? Which some people theorize is a critique of capitalism, especially since that weird blob sort of looked like the flesh mass from Akira.
The best was giving Rick Guts' dragonslayer sword in that goofy anime intro, wonder if it's a little homage to Muira dying Berserk would never have an intro like that haha but still
Since Rick C137 "created" The Citadel, and The Citadel is responsible for keeping the Central Finite Curve separate from the remainder of the multiverse, and Rick C137 hates the other Ricks for what they've done to his wife and daughter - I've become convinced that Rick C137 separated the Rickverse to protect *_the multiverse_* from the other Ricks.
@@ezekielsparadise4633 And the reason he's always so drunk and high, is because he's the only Rick who *_realizes_* he's in a prison of his own making!
There is a bigger possibility that he created the Curve to protect the Rickverse from the Multiverse, cuz he feared that beings like Bill Cipher, Clthulhu, and others may come through. So Evil Morty might've dropped the gun when opening the only thing meant to keep their home curve safe.
@@pjdianalan7934 I dunno - we've seen that the Gravity Falls universe is connected to the Rickverse, and Cthulhu even shows in the opening title sequence - sure, there could be something even worse, but I still think he's done it to imprison himselves.
Two Crows alone stand no chance... That would be like Morty vs Evil Morty... Without Rick its not gonna be a fight, evil Morty would dispose them without ever meeting them xD
That’s a good ass observation plus that would explain the episode when they went to the shrink and they were confused how the two were in love and if ricks were mass producing Mortys and practically breeding Beth and Jerrys what’s the chances our Morty is NOT an outcome of that shit if the curve is created by ricks than most of the universes on the curve are probably corrupted by the citadel
@@SupaSecretSensei there's literally an anime called rick and morty vs genocider and it's canon,and it shows rick sanchez die and morty takes rick's place as him via a blue potion

@@user-wh5se3cb2y Yeah that's the big thing: He isn't stupid or unintelligent at all. The other Ricks just make fun of him because he is kind and not an egocentric asshole. "Tall Morty", from the Tales From The Citadel episode would be a better example for a "stupid" Rick.
I was under the impression The Central Finite Curve was created AFTER the council of Ricks became organized. So there could still be Rick’s living on the Citadel who weren’t the smartest people in their universe

I don't think so, the whole joke with Simple Rick is that the regular Ricks don't get to achieve self-completion, they are never satisfied so they took the one exception to that and exploited him for their own gain.

@@m0chi66 I think he is the rickest rick specifically because he had what could make him complete taken away from him. He almost had a quite life that he wanted, but after the other rick took that away, he knew he couldn't be complete.
Here’s a Easter egg you missed: When the camera is zooming out on dimension C-137 and we see tiger Rick and Morty they appear to be at the same fountain where mr poopybutt hole proposed to Morty in Mortys mind blowers

Really appreciate going back and compiling clips from old episodes to provide the context. It was really valuable. The part at 15:15 with Jerry was particularly mindblowing if the writers intended this even back then.
Surely it would be Phoenix persons or inspired by Phoenix persons wings. You see Rick charging Phoenix persons parts in the ep before. There is no way they would include a missable detail without any payoff for people noticing.
It could be that Phoenix persons cyborg parts were crow tech. Maybe that’s the most advanced bird based technology that the galactic federation had access to to rebuild him.
@Just A Gamer mass murder happens every day. I don’t see you picking up a rifle and fighting to end. If you can live with genocide in the real world, you can live with it in a cartoon

Ooooh ooh! I'm an animal behaviorist and I can help you with this. The crow training was operant conditioning which is actually completely different than Pavlov's classical conditioning. The two crows have to volunteer to ring the bell to get the food. Pavlov's dogs did not voluntarily salivate. Pavlov just associated a natural behavior to an outside cue. It's two different training techniques.
12:32 Also, Evil Morty's shirt and tie mirror Rick's blue shirt and white labcoat, symbolizing that Evil Morty is more similar to a Rick than to a Morty. This fits with what you discuss around 20:02
Theoretical plot twist: What if the dimension that Rick ultimately went to, was the original dimension of dark rick; aka the Rick that killed c-137's wife and little Beth.
Just saying, you know the credits say “Green Portal Productions” If that changes to “Yellow portal Productions” then that’s either saying this isn’t in the Central Finite Curve of Rick
There's one detail you missed is a callback to one of my favorite jokes of the series. The hacked portal our Rick uses, someone gets thrown in and gets blended which is a reference to tales of the citadel where the rouge Rick takes a portal gun to leave but tests it on simple Rick who gets similarly blended and the rouge Rick says "portal to the blender dimension, that's oldest trick in the book!"
@@mcsquibble3550 theres infinite universes but rick has specifically hand picked the universes where only he was the smartest one and so there is many universes but not every one has rick and the smartest being.....when evil Morty destroyed the central finite curve he basically opened the portal to other multiverses where morty can be the smartest or even a jerry. It's kinda confusing lol
@@slcici128 I know that on the curve only rick can be the smartest, but I'm saying that if there are infinite amounts of universes, then technacly the curve should be infinite. With infinite universes then there should be infinite amounts of universes where ruck is the smartest.
@@mcsquibble3550 the curve would only be infinite if rick wanted it that way.....I think that there could be infinite universes of rick being the smartest but how could he possibly pick all of them if theres so many? Also it's called the central finite curve....finite meaning having limits or bounds.
We def onto something especially cuz some of the writers from Rick and Morty now work at marvel, I believe there is some petty beef going on here 🤭🤔?????
I really like this season finale, and it even feels like the series finale where all the main arcs converge for an explosive conclusion. Season 3 and 4 had their share of great episodes, but almost everything was built upon the assumption that the Rickest Rick and his dysfunctional family will never change (a point driven home by S5E2 where one of the Rick decoys said "I love my family" and got offed instantly). Now Rick changed dramatically twice in 2 consecutive episodes, and I am again eagerly looking forward to where they will go in the next season.
I can’t believe these episodes I cant be more excited for the next season I just really hope we get to see some of the people who replace Rick as the smartest person in the universe hopefully a Stanford Pines reference
All of this, makes you wonder how did the evil Morty found out about the curve, and what did his rick do to him. I mean he did not plan all of this JUST to get vengeance, he wanted freedom but clearly he was enjoying breaking the Rick and Morty cycle for good.
@@BigMoney398 Evil Rick could have killed C137’s family in the ‘90s, then years later Evil Rick’s version of Beth/Jerry get married and have a family at about the same time Beths and Jerrys typically do. Resulting in an Evil Morty who is the same age as most other Mortys.
@@TheJadedJames but didnt the evil rick who killed C-137's family look much older? Evil morty and our Morty look the same age so it doesnt make sense that evil Morty is evil Rick's Morty.
Yes! I was sitting here like “the whole dark crow master on a horse doesn’t fit right with Samurai Jack…” and just couldn’t place it. MUCH more reminiscent of D.
rickiest Rick: “I get it, so you want me to team up witz you to take down the council of Ricks, right?” evil Morty Robot Rick “… I simply gonna download the contents of your brain and then kill you”
i love how we see at the start of rick and morty, justin went more towards the Doc and Mahrti style of voices, but now hes gotten deep into it, which is pretty cool, along with the saturation and colours used
Rick offering to make his hand big "like that one time" is a reference to Rick and morty VR game. One of the trophies is unlocked when you make Mortys hand huge
17:50 pretty sure there's a "THEY LIVE" rick on the wall at the 1 o'clock position next to the HellBoy one :) Also might be a Silent Running reference at about 19:55 where only one "arm" of the Council of Rick base remains :)
1:06 Something really interesting about this episode and I don't know if anyone has said this before but there is actually a second version of this episode where that scene's dialog is changed slightly and on the phone, it says 'Cookie Isis' Instead. that was the version I watched originally so I checked it out on TH-cam later, it was really strange cause the scene was completely different.
When they cut out the center of Morty to de-age him, it was very similar to a scene in The Cell where a horse gets cut into pieces by sheets of glass and separated out.
Fun fact😂...Rick filling the owl and blowing it up with crows...is a call back to Naruto Shippuden's character Itachi Uchiha....as he also had a strange fixation with crows...he also made Naruto eat a crow and it lived there for a year until the crow came out at Itachi's command 😂 a year later.
I don’t think that Evil Morty breaking free of the Central Finite Curve automatically makes him the “alpha genius “ in the universes on the other side. It doesn’t have to be confined to just Rick or Morty. It could be anyone, in any given universe. Now, it doesn’t HAVE to be Rick in every one.
*Missed References* That "donkey brains" on the wheel is a nod to It's Always Stubby in Philadelphia. Also, the Pusifer title card is a reference to the band Puscifer.
@@dylanherman752 "know its gets better and more natural in time." why do people always say that? no point in deluding yourself. after 20 its a downhill slope. or after 30 anyway. your life wont magically get better. you go to work, you go home, you eat, you sleep, rinse repeat. there is nothing in that cycle that will ever change unless you do it yourself. so no, dont expect it to 'get better and more natural in time'. change something now. the only 'more natural' its going to get is you getting more set in your ways, more comfy in your meaningless life which will make it all the more difficult to escape it. pink flloyd's 'comfortably numb' comes to mind.
I remembered he actually admitted this to his morty on get swifty were he said" i only charge my portal enough so i can shelter you from certain reality"
loved the callback to space beth's introduction with the rick's past montage. "you cosplay as your shitty father in his 30s," and young rick with his long hair does wear the exact same outfit here.
3:45 i would describe it as more B.F Skinners experiments that Pavlov’s. this is because he training them though positive reinforcement with the bell and the food to do what he wants so the crows will do what he wants when they hear the bell, while with Pavlov it’s more about connecting a response to an unconditioned stimulus though doing them at the same time and the person or creature without any control of either stimulus, like how the crows are ringing the bell.
This explains one thing. When Rick says there are only a couple of realities where they were dead and not Cronenberged some said "Well there should be infinite because there are infinite realities" Well there weren't because there were only a finite number of realities Rick placed in the Central Finite Curve.
0:30 fun fact, there's two versions of that episode with two different versions of the flag, I saw the uncensored one personally, I didn't even know about that version until noe

Me too. 100%.
Same
Missed so many eggs
i thought it was gonna be evil morty in the future
If they did end up showing Kyle, it would've been awesome if Kyle was played by Kyle Mooney--Nick's friend & skit buddy from Good Neighbor Stuff.
Really appreciate going back and compiling clips from old episodes to provide the context. It was really valuable. The part at 15:15 with Jerry was particularly mindblowing if the writers intended this even back then.
Had no idea the Evil Morty portal was a different color. The joys of red-green colorblindness
Big oof...i get that its not too inconvenient to live with colour blindness but perhaps you could look into colour blindness glasses
Doesn’t Rick call the shield ‘crow tech’ after putting it up and pulling out the gun? I don’t think it’s Bird Person’s phoenix parts
He said Rick was “recreating” bird persons wings. Not that he directly took them
Surely it would be Phoenix persons or inspired by Phoenix persons wings. You see Rick charging Phoenix persons parts in the ep before. There is no way they would include a missable detail without any payoff for people noticing.
"this crow tech SLAPS!" i believe is what he said. crow tech could have been used to create phoenix person.
It could be that Phoenix persons cyborg parts were crow tech. Maybe that’s the most advanced bird based technology that the galactic federation had access to to rebuild him.
Yeah, I think he just picked it up
The blob Rick thing is certainly a homage to weird science. When Chet is turned in to a similar blog looking creature.
Garbage Goober literally made me cry laughing. This finale was just perfect 🥲
"Ur a doctor Henry" had me dying🤣🤣🤣
I'm personally rooting for "Evil Morty" He genuinely showed relief and Happiness when he passed through the Rift. Plus his Portal gun looks Awesome 👌
What about the mass murder
@@justehgamer4327 eh
@@justehgamer4327 could say the same for C137
@Just A Gamer mass murder happens every day. I don’t see you picking up a rifle and fighting to end. If you can live with genocide in the real world, you can live with it in a cartoon
@password 12 again if you’re more concerned over genocide in an adult swim cartoon then genocide happening around the world in real life, you really need to evaluate your priorities
Ooooh ooh! I'm an animal behaviorist and I can help you with this. The crow training was operant conditioning which is actually completely different than Pavlov's classical conditioning. The two crows have to volunteer to ring the bell to get the food. Pavlov's dogs did not voluntarily salivate. Pavlov just associated a natural behavior to an outside cue. It's two different training techniques.
I'm a human behaviorist and this ^
12:32 Also, Evil Morty's shirt and tie mirror Rick's blue shirt and white labcoat, symbolizing that Evil Morty is more similar to a Rick than to a Morty. This fits with what you discuss around 20:02
Theoretical plot twist: What if the dimension that Rick ultimately went to, was the original dimension of dark rick; aka the Rick that killed c-137's wife and little Beth.
That was my initial thought as well.
Wow
solaricks confirmed this
congrats my nigga. you was right
Just saying, you know the credits say “Green Portal Productions”
If that changes to “Yellow portal Productions” then that’s either saying this isn’t in the Central Finite Curve of Rick
that's a nice touch 🤔
I may have missed it but were the two crows a reference to Odin's two ravens? Another instance of Rick comparing himself to a god.
Maybe
There's one detail you missed is a callback to one of my favorite jokes of the series. The hacked portal our Rick uses, someone gets thrown in and gets blended which is a reference to tales of the citadel where the rouge Rick takes a portal gun to leave but tests it on simple Rick who gets similarly blended and the rouge Rick says "portal to the blender dimension, that's oldest trick in the book!"
I just love that evil north’s theme changes at the beginning it’s very depressing and as soon as he is freed it changes to be majestic
Rick and morty can only switch realities a few times because of the limit of the finite curve
I haven't seen any of season 5 yet, but wouldn't the curve be infinite since there are infinite universes
@@mcsquibble3550 theres infinite universes but rick has specifically hand picked the universes where only he was the smartest one and so there is many universes but not every one has rick and the smartest being.....when evil Morty destroyed the central finite curve he basically opened the portal to other multiverses where morty can be the smartest or even a jerry. It's kinda confusing lol
@@slcici128 I know that on the curve only rick can be the smartest, but I'm saying that if there are infinite amounts of universes, then technacly the curve should be infinite. With infinite universes then there should be infinite amounts of universes where ruck is the smartest.
@@mcsquibble3550 the curve would only be infinite if rick wanted it that way.....I think that there could be infinite universes of rick being the smartest but how could he possibly pick all of them if theres so many? Also it's called the central finite curve....finite meaning having limits or bounds.
@@mcsquibble3550 the curve is explicitly named finite, for whatever reason its not infinite.
Rick is literally Kang the Conqueror in his perfect time line! and Evil Morty just became Sylvie “Loki” destroying the TVA.
We def onto something especially cuz some of the writers from Rick and Morty now work at marvel, I believe there is some petty beef going on here 🤭🤔?????
If you look closely at the wall of Ricks at 17:39, the Rick below Turkey Rick looks to be a Loki Rick with classic Loki horns.
Tbh i zoomed in all the way it looks more like Sylvie horns 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
You know I never notice that
I mean, basically
There's even a council of Ricks like the council of kangs from the comics
I wished Morty used more of the elemental rings he got from Planetina's kids.
I really like this season finale, and it even feels like the series finale where all the main arcs converge for an explosive conclusion. Season 3 and 4 had their share of great episodes, but almost everything was built upon the assumption that the Rickest Rick and his dysfunctional family will never change (a point driven home by S5E2 where one of the Rick decoys said "I love my family" and got offed instantly). Now Rick changed dramatically twice in 2 consecutive episodes, and I am again eagerly looking forward to where they will go in the next season.
The remade version of Evil Mortys theme is what I now wake up to every morning
Good idea!, I'm setting that as my ringtone!
The shield is appropriated crow tech, not parts of Phoenix Person.
I can’t believe these episodes I cant be more excited for the next season I just really hope we get to see some of the people who replace Rick as the smartest person in the universe hopefully a Stanford Pines reference
The citadel being a weapon of mass destruction is a reference to Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3.
All of this, makes you wonder how did the evil Morty found out about the curve, and what did his rick do to him. I mean he did not plan all of this JUST to get vengeance, he wanted freedom but clearly he was enjoying breaking the Rick and Morty cycle for good.
We will definitely find out eventually! My guess he’s connected to the evil Rick that murdered our Rick’s family.
@@KC_Smooth wouldnt he be an adult if he was that Rick's Morty?
@@BigMoney398 Evil Rick could have killed C137’s family in the ‘90s, then years later Evil Rick’s version of Beth/Jerry get married and have a family at about the same time Beths and Jerrys typically do. Resulting in an Evil Morty who is the same age as most other Mortys.
@@TheJadedJames but didnt the evil rick who killed C-137's family look much older? Evil morty and our Morty look the same age so it doesnt make sense that evil Morty is evil Rick's Morty.
Evil morty probably just heard about the curve alot of Rick's openly talked about it. Most of that happened in the citadel.
I love the Vampire Hunter D reference!!! With the robohorse, and even Mortys portal hand is like Ds parasite!
Yes! I was sitting here like “the whole dark crow master on a horse doesn’t fit right with Samurai Jack…” and just couldn’t place it. MUCH more reminiscent of D.
I immediately thought of Community when Morty said "they made it Glendale".
I was waiting for ur video on this as soon as I finished watching the finale lol
rickiest Rick: “I get it, so you want me to team up witz you to take down the council of Ricks, right?”
evil Morty Robot Rick “… I simply gonna download the contents of your brain and then kill you”
His younger self gone help him huh.
@@BVTMVN007 like obviously not morty doesn’t exist proven in simulation season one also proven by beths memory as well that there was a different beth
This was a really good finale I luved how evil morty came back
The final episode of this episode
@@seanlintermoot dafuq do you mean
@@GoogleAccount-rp4rl im not sure exactly i had just woke up drunk/hungover please excuse my earlier comment
I loved how evil morty didn't go the conventional way of "oh! I want revenge on Rick for abandoning me"
i love how we see at the start of rick and morty, justin went more towards the Doc and Mahrti style of voices, but now hes gotten deep into it, which is pretty cool, along with the saturation and colours used
6:30 That's a reference to dungeons and dragons, where if you stick a portable hole inside another portable hole you get an implosion.
When are they going to make “the Morty year old virgin” 😅😂
The Morty Year Old Rickgin
he's not a virgin though
he’s not a virgin, he got with Planetina😅
Hes anything but a virgin
The crows in the cage while Rick was training them might actually be referencing the Skinner box and not Pavlov.
It definitely isn't referencing Pavlov. If it's not referencing Skinner, it's referencing his methods.
Skinner did not introduce a behavior for an outcome. So yes, sir you are correct
And the outcome was reversed onto Rick....so that's interesting
Yes because it's operant conditioning, and not classical as in Pavlovs dogs
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for your hard work cuz oooweeeee! Thatd be hard to understand more thoroughly
i like how evil mortys tie pattern matches ricks blue shirt and lab coat, almost as showing that evil morty is the rickest morty
Rick offering to make his hand big "like that one time" is a reference to Rick and morty VR game. One of the trophies is unlocked when you make Mortys hand huge
I thought it was to when he had that massive arm but if not nice find 👏🏽
Nah definitely reference to the time he had the massive arm in that one episode
@@jeriljoseph7071 that was his entire arm in the episode. In the VR game (which has been confirmed as canon) it was just his hand.
These episodes were phenomenal. Im a bit upset due to the fact that it was the last two episodes. ):
you do know that we're getting a season 6
@@GoogleAccount-rp4rl not for about a year though right?
@@Formosity_ i dont know, lets just wait and see comrade
I love the fact that I get more Rick and morty content here than I do from Rick and morty
This may be late but the reason why evil morty wears the eye patch can be because rick is scare of pirates ☠
5:48 Rick is using a Crow tech shield, he also pulls out a Crow gun before saying their tech slaps. He picked it up while running through the ship.
This
Thank you why is nobody else saying this
@@ocean6947 There ARE many comments below that say this is crow's tech
@@ophirgonen1772 there weren’t 10 hours ago, when I made this comment
The pedals actually rotate when the bike spaceship moves!
17:50 pretty sure there's a "THEY LIVE" rick on the wall at the 1 o'clock position next to the HellBoy one :)
Also might be a Silent Running reference at about 19:55 where only one "arm" of the Council of Rick base remains :)
1:06 Something really interesting about this episode and I don't know if anyone has said this before but there is actually a second version of this episode where that scene's dialog is changed slightly and on the phone, it says 'Cookie Isis' Instead.
that was the version I watched originally so I checked it out on TH-cam later, it was really strange cause the scene was completely different.
I paused when watching that episode the first time and my version said "Cookie ISIS" as well. Did that have to be censored I guessed?
When they cut out the center of Morty to de-age him, it was very similar to a scene in The Cell where a horse gets cut into pieces by sheets of glass and separated out.
I loved this episode! And I’m willing to wait another 3 years to see what happens next
Seasons 1, 3, and 5. If we're going by that metric, we're looking at season 7 before we get another mention.
don’t jinx it
At 15:14 when Jerry and Beth touch hands, their pupils do that same thing that the love potion does in "Rick Potion No. 9".
Some of the past students at my school bought our math teacher a 1 by 1 ft square in Scotland as a funny gift. He said he will go and find it someday.
Aaah yes, Erik is now a lord of a plot of land in a city he can't pronounce the name of.
Him saying Dunfermline so incorrectly hurt my soul
Fun fact😂...Rick filling the owl and blowing it up with crows...is a call back to Naruto Shippuden's character Itachi Uchiha....as he also had a strange fixation with crows...he also made Naruto eat a crow and it lived there for a year until the crow came out at Itachi's command 😂 a year later.
also when rick stabs pussifer from behind its a reference to the naruto log substitution jutsu
sad narutards
I guess crows are part of the Uchiha aesthetic.
@@Batnano dbz fan💀
13:44 this also explains why there are 11 episodes in the first season instead of 10 like in every other
I needed this explanation. Many thanks
I don’t think that Evil Morty breaking free of the Central Finite Curve automatically makes him the “alpha genius “ in the universes on the other side. It doesn’t have to be confined to just Rick or Morty. It could be anyone, in any given universe. Now, it doesn’t HAVE to be Rick in every one.
Technically, the bigger Omniverse is full of geniuses in their realities, like Stanford Pines, Azmuth, Dr Doofenshmirtz, Stewie Griffin, etc..
@@pjdianalan7934 Azmuth
*Missed References* That "donkey brains" on the wheel is a nod to It's Always Stubby in Philadelphia.
Also, the Pusifer title card is a reference to the band Puscifer.
Do you have a document proving that you do not in fact have donkey brains?
@@morganevans4039 the burden of proof is not on me.
Rick’s outfit with the crows is definitely inspired by Vampire Hunter D.

Watch and enjoying a snack of Reman from the pot while I look over at my wrapper on the floor at 20:50, its hurts how accurate it is
Set small goals, accept your human and we are all trying, and know its gets better and more natural in time. : )
@@dylanherman752 "know its gets better and more natural in time." why do people always say that? no point in deluding yourself. after 20 its a downhill slope. or after 30 anyway. your life wont magically get better. you go to work, you go home, you eat, you sleep, rinse repeat. there is nothing in that cycle that will ever change unless you do it yourself. so no, dont expect it to 'get better and more natural in time'. change something now. the only 'more natural' its going to get is you getting more set in your ways, more comfy in your meaningless life which will make it all the more difficult to escape it. pink flloyd's 'comfortably numb' comes to mind.
The first episode of this season was a goddamn masterpiece.
I remembered he actually admitted this to his morty on get swifty were he said" i only charge my portal enough so i can shelter you from certain reality"
as a Scottish person it's always funny hearing Americans pronounce Scottish places
Same, I almost did a spit take when he said (and butchered the pronunciation of) Dunfermline (dun-firm-lin by the way)
As an American person, it's always funny hearing Scottish people pronounce... ANYTHING! All kidding aside, I agree.
agreed...and jokes on him, I know the extact area near Saline golf club...it's nothing to write home about 😂
The crow outfit Rick has on is a Vampire hunter D reference.
Also the robotic take on cyborg horses.
Thank you! I thought I was going crazy, that I was the only one who caught this.
Thank you, I needed a few explanations. Lol!
loved the callback to space beth's introduction with the rick's past montage. "you cosplay as your shitty father in his 30s," and young rick with his long hair does wear the exact same outfit here.
3:45 i would describe it as more B.F Skinners experiments that Pavlov’s. this is because he training them though positive reinforcement with the bell and the food to do what he wants so the crows will do what he wants when they hear the bell, while with Pavlov it’s more about connecting a response to an unconditioned stimulus though doing them at the same time and the person or creature without any control of either stimulus, like how the crows are ringing the bell.
This means that Rick is still smarter than Ford from Gravity falls.
Now that the cfc is broken, there are infinite fords smarter than Rick and infinite ricks smarter than ford
Oh dang! This might mean that we’ll start getting crossover episodes, now that they have a better canonical explanation for them!
@@AlexPBenton I really hope so! Can you imagine grunkle Stan cursing freely?
Lol both followed kids so ughmmmmmmmmm what smart
You got a "the watcher" shirt... I love what if😂✨✨
This explains one thing. When Rick says there are only a couple of realities where they were dead and not Cronenberged some said "Well there should be infinite because there are infinite realities" Well there weren't because there were only a finite number of realities Rick placed in the Central Finite Curve.
Tbh I would not be surprised if even after everything that happens in this episode that in the premier next season that it does not effect much
And that's how I escaped from space prison! Whooooaaa, scary place
Gonna miss watching these after school.
0:30 fun fact, there's two versions of that episode with two different versions of the flag, I saw the uncensored one personally, I didn't even know about that version until noe
15:52 This Morty actually appeared earlier in Tales from the Citadel in the wide shot of all the Rick’s and mortys walking
Who else was expecting a Stanford Pines Easter egg/cameo in Rick’s backstory
