>Theres infinite realities Morty, and in a few of those I got lucky and everything went back to normal
So why instead of taking over their reality, just take the cure and fix the problem?

The writers are hacks.
Holy fricking filtered. Destroying the Earth was Rick effectively taking a steaming dump on Rick Prime's home. Even as far back as the pilot, Rick had no attachment to that universe as he was willing to kill everyone just so that Morty could be with Jessica. You really do need a high IQ to appreciate this show.
Anon there is no fricking way you actually think Rick Prime was even a concept that existed when they wrote this episode
It wouldn't matter if he did exist or not. The ongoing plot is consistent and makes older episodes satisfying to analyze upon re-watch. Rick and Morty is old news and so is the "Rick and Morty le fell off" craze as well. Get with the times and go shitpost in a neopuritan Smiling Friends thread.
In infinite realities, there are a few where it did.
shut up cuck
Goddamn, shut up.
>So why instead of taking over their reality, just take the cure and fix the problem?
cause Rick's a lazy butthole
Because the people writing this show aren't nearly as smart as they think they are.
That meta worm episode completely put me off from R&M for good. Next time someone asks what Millennial Writing is, I'll point them to that episode.
Really? For me it was the devil episode
>That meta worm episode
I've seen every Rick and Morty episode and I have no clue what you're referring to.
Sorry for the late reply, but it's this one.

Outside of the Self-Referential Six sequence, that episode was legit awful. And I'm someone who LOVES Story Train
What was it about?
I assume he means Previous Leon, story lord's return.
that episode was great
No the frick it wasn't.
Yes the frick it was
haven't watched since season 3. what was wrong with it?
Do you mean meta train episode? Cuz that’s the one that did it for me
"smartest" cartoon character
The writers are moronic hacks but this case makes sense because that's just the type of person Rick is.
Because the Rick in that other universe is enough of a c**t to keep it secret
Society was pretty trashed to just cure everyone and have things be okie dokie
What did he ever do that was Racist?
Be white and be written by israeli writers
He started a relationship with an alien chick when he actually found her disgusting
What episode is this? Thought I’ve seen them all
the one where jerry wants to break up with the alien hunter woman he's dating
There's a lot about season 3 I can defend, but this scene was just unforgiveable. I know Jerry's got flaws of his own, but the beatdown he kept getting from the rest of the family just got too unbearable after a certain point. I'm glad they've started to remedy that in later seasons.
The similar scene in season 4 was much worse.
The camping episode?
I have daddy issues but I just handle them by b***hing about my dad's real frickups and flirting with men who treat me like shit rather than creating a fictional caricature of my dad and using it as a flanderized whipping boy for sins it never even committed. That's pathetic.
Not as pathetic as Jerry! HEYO!
Who finds this funny
Liberal women
Jesus christ what a pile of shit.

>Take the cure
>Go back to your, already immensely fricked up reality.
>Slowly try to fix everything, as close how to things used to be.
>Will still take a lot of time and be physically/mentally draining since it isn't an instant fix.
>Could just replace the you's in the cure timeline instead and be done with the whole fiasco.
I mean Morty probably would've done it if he realized it was an option, but that's why Rick didn't give him a chance to think about it.
Show regularly has effortless paradox free time travel
doesnt just go back a day or two and say dont do this
Hasn't time travel specifically always been avoided in Rick and Morty outside of the snake episode? The writers know it'd make for an easy fix, so they always keep it at a distance.
Did jerry kill cronenberg rick and morty?
grass tastes bad
Infinite implies more than a few.
>Just binged S7
>It was actually really good apart from maybe one or two episodes.
Why did Cinemaphile lie to me?
They didn't. You just enjoy shit.
Because that was easier. That far back in the show, Rick was incredibly lazy and liked to take the "easy" way out of any given problem if possible. Sure, he could maybe cook up an antidote to the horrible plague he unleashed - but that would have required time and effort on his part, and he really didn't care all that much or have any particular attachment. Simply taking Morty and moving to another, virtually identical reality, was less difficult and time-consuming to him.
Now, modern R&M's developments let you look back on it with the knowledge that that was Rick Prime's universe, and Rick would naturally not care what happened to it. This wasn't a concept at the time the episode was made, so it's more of a "funny in hindsight" thing, but it does help to retroactively make him come off less callous.
The real answer is the first one, though - he was lazy and just wanted to rinse his hands of the whole thing. It's not that deep.

not bad actually
If there’s infinite realities, how are only a few the right ones?
Logically Rick would’ve made infinite more versions of that reality
Endless possibility doesn't mean endless repetition, mathematicality the odds of finding a reality exactly the same is probably very low
Anon.
If the numbers between 0 and 1 are infinite, then the numbers between 0.1 and 0.2 are also infinite, which means the numbers between 0.0000001 and 0.0000002 are also infinite.
It's infinity. No matter how granular you get there is endlessly more.
Anon it's a cartoon, you're thinking too hard. Rick and Morty is only as scientifically accurate as what the narrative or a given gag will allow.
How did South Park manage to age better than Rick and Morty? I feel like people on average hold the new seasons in higher regard.
Rick And Morty Was Too Confusing, Became Annoying To Follow
South Park found its longevity in being a take on the news and pop culture cycle and life in general as seen by normal people who don't give a shit.
Rick and Morty was initially absurdist humor with a sci-fi tint that fell in to full on satire of writing conventions and becoming a slave to its own seasonal format because Dan Harmon created the show with the idea Roiland would run it, only for Roiland to realize producing a new show is easier than running an ongoing, so he went off with Mike McMahan and created Solar Opposites, only for McMahan to realize Roiland just pulled the same shit with him, so he fricked off to do Lower Decks. Meanwhile Harmon got left holding the bag and had to work R&M in to some semblance of being able to deliver on that big batch of episodes they promised.
because they are not infinite, Rick's portal gun only have access to the universes where his counterpart is the smartest being from them
No, they are infinite. It’s like how there are infinite numbers within a given range of numbers, because there are always smaller variations within those numbers, but that “infinity” is combined within that exact range and cannot go below or above it.
did they ever do anything with that? like some other dude comes up that is just smarter than rick in every way?
unfortunately, mathematicians do not believe in the dichotomy paradox
>just take the cure and fix the problem?
that takes more work
My favorite episode is where Rick fricks a dragon.

>Rick is just lazy and all realities are interchangeable in his view so why should he give a frick?
This was a good explanation back in season 1, but later developments ruin that. Rick was specifically waiting in that reality hoping to trap evil Rick. It's not just another reality to Rick, but one with unique significance to him and his primary goal in life. He had good reason to try and stick it out in that reality and try to fix it. Basically I'm saying the writers are hacks.
>Basically I'm saying the writers are hacks.
I thought everybody knew that already.
Personally I think they've done a great job building on the lore of the show and making more sense of the timeline with each passing season. I got the impression Rick was REALLY hammered after initially giving up on his Rick Prime chase and pretty much crashed into the Prime Dimension by accident. It's possible that in the time it took him to grow sober again and fix his ship/portal gun, he grew attached to the Prime Smiths (and Morty especially) and got comfortable living his fantasy family life he'd spent years trying to get back from Rick Prime.
The thing a lot of you guys forget is that Rick may be a genius, but he's also a messy drunk who'll take the easy route whenever possible. In a way, making C-137 his new home in Season 1 is no different than him bailing to C-131 after everyone got Cronenberg'd. By that point, he'd regained his wits enough to go back to his "nothing matters" routine and ditch parallel realities at the slightest inconvenience, only with Morty by his side now. Less of a 4D Chess move to find Rick Prime and more of a new, more careless philosophy he chose to live by moving forward, strengthening his bond with Morty in the process.
A lot of this definitely wasn't set in stone till after Season 3 or so, but I think the writers did good on rewiring the series timeline to where it all makes sense.
People still watch this show?
God the alien episode was so beautiful to look at
Zach and Michael makin good use of that larger budget
As long as they don't go the Rick & Morty route and prioritize making every episode a SPECTACLE over having funny jokes, we'll be good for years to come.
the first 3 seasons are nice and i watch any episode that evil morty appears only nowadays, or that Rick is nice to morty.
The whole central finite curve and building a wall around the realities where he's the smartest being in existence really makes no sense. That means all the other realities outside of the curve have people smarter than he is which would imply they could more than likely break through his wall depending on how smart they are. It's like building a medival stone wall to keep out people driving around in modern day tanks, it just wouldn't work. So why build it in the first place? Or was what evil morty said just bullshit? I stopped watching after the citadel was destroyed.
No one out there's chasing after Our Rick, pretty simple.
Yeah but none of them said "hey where did this wall come from?" seems weird to me.
doesn't seem weird to me
>So why build it in the first place? Or was what evil morty said just bullshit? I stopped watching after the citadel was destroyed.
While our Rick had made it alongside the Council as per their agreement, he also made it as a means to limit where Rick Prime could hide.
That doesn’t imply the people are smarter, just that the Ricks are simpler
I feel like the simplest answer is that every other being at that level has just made their own Finite Curve already
I actually like that from a Sci-Fi perspective, it explains why Rick's only rival is himself because they've intentionally separated themselves from the "complete" reality. But it's not like R&M is a serious sci-fi show or anything.
Because Rick is lazy and treats all universes as expendable collateral.
Isn't that obvious?
A part of him might be happy to have destroyed the home dimension of the evil Rick.
Is Solar Opposites dead after this next season?
idk probably
That doesn't imply anything. You can have two shows running at the same time.
Or three.
Or four...
What a disgusting vile creature
And in just as many, he didn't and everything went wrong.
Multiverse ultimately is just like why bother with anything, it's all just how it was always going to be.
Grass tastes bad
Why didn't Rick just find a universe that would solve all his problems then
Too much work. Do you not know where Rick's priorities lie?
>whole episode where piss green goblin gets canceled and how cancel culture ruined his life
>like two weeks later roiland gets canceled and the same guys who wrote this episode threw him under the bus
I still think about this sometimes
You act like Pissmaster didnt verbally assault a minor and then try and beat up her father, failing, he didnt get "canceled" he was mocked online for being a loser
There was nothing to cancel in the first place, he was a F tier villain who thought being Ricks nemesis would get him somewhere and he failed, the message of the episode is that doing good things is they way to go instead of being the bad guy
>Pissmaster didnt verbally assault a minor and then try and beat up her father,
Pissmaster didn't know summer was underage until she announced it which is forgivable given she's literally an alien to him, then Jerry assaulted him and it was uploaded online for everyone to see.
>There was nothing to cancel in the first place, he was a F tier villain who thought being Ricks nemesis would get him somewhere and he failed
His life was objectively ruined, considering he couldn't find employment, his own family wouldn't speak to him, and he ended up killing himself without achieving his life's dream which rick would then go on to achieve out of guilt for effectively being the reason pissmaster killed himself.
Because their problem was different, even if only slightly. That Rick probably didn't even make the Cronenberg version, he probably made them into mantis monsters and then fixed it. The solution isn't going to be the same.
The last episode I watched was the family decoys one. That was too much, too many deaths
I really like the decoys one, but I will admit the show's become far too reliant on gore and violence as a punchline rather than actual jokes like before. Solar Opposites does the same.
Their are an infinite amount of realities where he does just that. And an infinite amount where he doesn't. You're seeing one where he doesn't.
>Theres infinite realities
>in a few of those I got lucky
Shouldnt have he gotten lucky in an infinite number? Thought this was meant to be the "smart" cartoon
There are an infinite number of ricks who want to settle in recently dead ricks realties. A few is the ones that are available to him.
How can we be actually sure we are following the same rick. If they are all infinite we could just be jumping between the ones where the same things happened but we don't notice the differences.
I'm pretty sure Morty himself mentions the plothole several times, but I doubt they care that much.
>"cartoon for smart people"
>isn't actually smart
Wow
Because they keep mentioning his number. He is C-137 and he is special.
If there are infinite realities doesn't that mean there are also infinite ricks C-137?
No. Because every Rick has a number. This is canon. So in reality there are probably not infinite realities just a lot of.
>He is C-137
What?
Shit, I got ahead of myself and thought that was the name for Morty's Prime Dimension. Don't mind me then
Okay
Rick and morty was not meant to be such long series, but because of the big popularity it became one.
This is why the main storyline makes no sense anymore.
>So why instead of taking over their reality, just take the cure and fix the problem?
Because Rick doesn't give a shit about anyone, spending time with this morty made him care more about people. In the beginning he did not give a shit about anyone and morty was just an accessory to hím. Then again since the series is getting too long this doesn't work as much anymore.
Rick and Morty has single handedly destroyed adult animation as we know it. The fact that Rick, an all knowing nigh omnipotent scientist couldn't fix the plague that HE created shows that the writers are absolute hacks who are constantly throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. Couldn't Rick just go back minutes before they died in that reality, ask that Rick for the cure then go back to the Chronenberg reality and save it?
>But that was Rick Prime's reality, he doesn't care about it
I doubt the writers thought that far into it.
It's not supposed to be a logic puzzle, it's supposed to train the audience to understand Rick's perspective of how the universe works and nothing matters. It's not supposed to be a lesson, it's a characterization
If nothing matters then why did he have replicas of himself so he could revive? Even if he's not religious death would be an adequate end for his life.
Because Rick flip flops between nihilism, entertainment, and more recently, revenge. He seemingly has a mandate from God to not ever be able to be permanently killed. From his perspective, or the perspective of the latest version of him anyway, he seemingly just snaps awake in a clone which ironically has happened so much he no longer considers whether to take his new lease on life and frick off from the things causing him problems. It could even be something he set up in a retcon where he set up a bunch of immortality protocols while drunk with the idea he can never give up on his revenge, similar to his original house Dianne AI having to always appear out of reach because he wanted to be haunted and reminded to not give up.
whens the anime coming out
Got delayed til next year
what's he drinking in that flask?
Does this show have a single joke other than "dude gore lmao"
"dude glibbleglorb lmao"
This also applies to Smiling Friends, but that would piss a considerable amount of people off.
.
Eewwww why'd they have to draw his eye out of its socket like that?
shock humour
It was an intentional act of spite against Evil Rick. Evil Rick's universe was the one most of S1 takes place in. It's kind of convoluted.
>Evil Rick's universe was the one most of S1 takes place in.
Wasn't that episode like, the sixth aired or something? Suppose to be even earlier in the production order?
>In-Universe reason
If you saw the way every place on Earth looked by that point, it was already a complete mess with everything broken and on fire. Even if they cured everyone you would still have to rebuild everything and I imagine its less of a headache to just switch realities
>Meta reason
Jerry and Beth’s relationship begun to develop and they needed to return to the status quo where they hate eachother.
Every other answer in this thread is moronic
The only smart answer. What's your take on S7?
Why is Morty such a moralist pussy?
he is a 14 year old boy
*15
Rick is an unreliable source of information, which is why the plotlines where Morty attempts to take back the reigns of his destiny are so endearing to the audience.
What's the last "endearing" episode this show's had? It's become impossible to take these characters seriously after all of Harmon's bullshit fakeouts.
Define "endearing." I liked the last episode to air, Fear No Mort.
>season finales
That's cheating
IT FEELS GOOD
It was supposed to be a one off joke, he even says he can't keep doing this. Then [as] greenlit 7 more seasons and the hack writers realized they used all the tricks they had already.
What was your reaction?
yawn
So this Rick kidnapped the Morty-est morty to find the Rickest Rick?
He didn't, and they do actually address this later on. Morty bluntly and directly asks our Rick if the reason he keeps him around is as bait for Rick Prime. Rick, in turn, tells him honestly that that's not the case - for Morty to serve as "bait," Rick Prime would have to be capable of caring about anyone.
>"For you to be bait, the guy'd have to value something. He TRULY does not give a shit."
Our Rick originally went to that dimension because he discovered it was Rick Prime's, and he was going to play the waiting game. His character development, and attachment to Prime's Morty, was completely accidental.
I don't think shows like this understand just how big infinity is.
