Rick and Morty
Summary
AlthoughRick and Mortyseason 8 might not take back Rick Prime , the show ’s creators have on the face of it assure to revive one of Rick ’s worst trait with another villain ’s return . Rick and Morty ’s season 5 finale set up Rick Prime as the show ’s central villain . As such , it was a shock when Rick Prime died halfway throughRick and Mortyseason 7 , after Evil Morty , Morty , and Rick all work together to defeat the villain ’s latest trap . Rick beat Rick Prime to death after Evil Morty disarmed him , leave the show ’s antihero feeling surprisingly empty when he at long last achieved this destination .
AlthoughRick and Morty ’s time of year 7 finaledelved into Morty ’s mysterious fears , the sequence did n’t interrogate what Rick would do without his master motivation . Rick has been drive by a desire to hunt down and kill his nemesis since the season 5 finis and , in the absence of this finish , he is potential to be a changed human beings . Rick and Mortyseason 8could make him into a more heroic chassis - or , the series could see him become worse than ever , revealing that the pursuit of Rick Prime was the only thing holding him back from more reckless hedonism .
Rick’s Hubris Could Cost Him Dearly In Rick and Morty Season 8
Rick has historically been responsible for many of his problems
One recentVarietyinterview with showrunner Scott Marder implies that Rick will witness a newfangled enemy in season 8 , but this wo n’t necessarily be a good affair for his character ’s evolution and motivations . Marder told interviewers thatRick and Mortyseason 8 has “ grand design ” for Evil Morty , the villain last seen in time of year 7 , episode 5 , “ Unmortricken . ” This is bad tidings for anyone who hoped thatRick and Morty ’s troubled admirer Rick was on his way to a brighter futurity . WhileDiane’sRick and Mortyseason 8 returnis unconvincing , Evil Morty ’s comeback could prove Rick has n’t learned a matter .
From cloning Beth and erasing her memory to accidentally create Evil Morty by mistreating Morty , most of Rick ’s problems stanch from his ego - importance . As such , it seems likely that he will take on Evil Morty to take the scoundrel down a mountain pass in time of year 8 , even though Evil Morty explicitly warned him against this in “ Unmortricken . ” Evil Morty not only helped Rick and Morty defeat Rick Prime , but he even tell Rick that he was well-chosen to leave him alone once Rick did n’t interfere with his patronage . Unlike the flagitious Rick Prime , Evil Morty has n’t hurt anything but Rick ’s pride .
Evil Morty Forces Rick To Face His Greatest Flaw
Evil Morty’s indifference clearly irks Rick
Evil Morty ’s ability to shoot down Rick , alongside his impassivity toward the fibre , clearly infuriates Rick despite his attempt to adopt a casual attitude . Rick ’s hubristic inability to live with that someone else could match his adept could turn out his undoing in time of year 8 if he does attempt to take Evil Morty down solely because the baddie does n’t handle about him . Rick and Mortyseason 7 ’s close stingerhinted at this possibility as , after assure that he would leave about his ex - married woman and move on , Mr. Poopybutthole instead steal a portal gun and used it to supersede an alternative version of himself .
Transported to a humanity where he was still happily married , Mr. Poopybutthole proved he would rather endure a lie than confront his fiend . Similarly , Rick seeking out Evil Morty after the scoundrel explicitly told him not to bother him again would be proof that Rick cares more about his ego than his happiness . He did n’t know what to do with himself when he finally caught and killed Rick Prime in “ Unmortricken , ” andstarting a fight he ca n’t win with Evil Morty means Rick wo n’t have to do the study of finding a new purposein time of year 8 .
Rick Fighting Evil Morty Would Be Hard to Defend
Evil Morty left Rick with clear instructions in season 7
Evil Morty discourage Rick to guide decipherable of him and promised he would n’t mess with Rick if Rick did n’t good deal with him . This alone means he is nothing like Rick Prime . As such , Rick antagonizing Evil Morty into a face-off would be entirely his own fault . If Evil Morty does have a plan that involves Rick and Morty Rick fight him might be more defensible , but little about his role in “ Unmortricken ” inculpate this . On the contrary , Evil Morty appeared to be enjoy his passive retirement until he was disturb by the duet ’s latest experiment near the root of the outing .
AlthoughRick and Mortyseason 8 has many plotsto revisit , the word that the show ’s creators have big architectural plan for Evil Morty is worrying for Rick ’s character discharge . Already , Rick spent most of time of year 7 ’s latter half wasting his prison term on pointless quests . These made for fun occasional adventures , but also underlined the approximation that he was without purpose and develop increasingly restless . Rick attempting to rein the infinite vim of the afterlife was the kind of challenging plot that proved he could n’t halt and self - reflect after Rick Prime ’s death , which makes a next confrontation with Evil Morty likely .
Rick and Morty Season 8 Can Revive An Important Rick Trait
Rick’s villainous side can come into play again in season 8
Since the season 5 close , Rick ’s blood feud against the immeasurably crueler , more evil Rick Prime has made him a jolly defendable fiber . However , this was not the case in earlier seasons . For a long time , Rick was essentiallyRick and Morty ’s scoundrel , and seasons 6 and 7 never full forgot this . In season 6 , episode 2 , “ Rick : A Mort Well Lived,”Rick removed the part of Morty that lead him to rise up against his grandfatherso that he would be a more compliant collaborationist . This ethically questionable decision was never addressed again , part because it was so in character for Rick .
With Rick Prime dead , thanks in with child part to Evil Morty , Rick starting a fight with Evil Morty would make the character the baddie of his own show . He fulfilled this role in other season , but the serial has confuse this fact since . Rick ’s backstory made him more sympathetic and Rick Prime ’s villainy was worse than anything Rick ever did . However , now that Rick Prime is get , Evil Morty is more like the show ’s antihero . Despite his moniker , Evil Morty is arguably no worse than Rick himself , andRick and Mortyseason 8 may end up proving that Rick is secretly the worst of the two .
