Film Theory: Inside the Mind of Rick Sanchez (Rick and Morty)

[@onipot9639]

I think it's Summer's emotional intelligence that sees the pain in Rick. She understands that its a mask and she has one to, to some degree. I think that's why she is his favourite, and why he deliberately excludes her.

[@dugster6302]

and cause shes smarter than Morty so he could get tracked with his brain waves

Christopher Cruz he doesn’t have a favorite he said there both shits. He bases them on who is less annoying. He said he can’t tell the two apart sometimes.

[@monica-fd2qy]

Morty is also very emotionally intelligent. Summer is somewhere in between Rick and Morty when it comes to intelligence.

[@monica-fd2qy]

Chelsella I have a feeling he was telling them that based on the circumstances and the fact that Rick didn’t want Summer or Morty to know what was up.

considering he's probably summoning wormholes with his portal gun and wormholes are what theoretically appears when you fold a universe in half, he'd be restricted to only being able to teleport to one half of the universe, so there's about a 50% chance that would've been impossible but that's just a theory, a *film theory* edit: now that I think about it, it would actually be possible to teleport anywhere in the universe including the second half if he just uses it twice

Rick's wife couldn't of died and she definitely raised Beth after he left her but We never see her in any universe he visits. There's no way she died in every reality. In the episode where bird person gets married, Rick says he couldn't make his marriage work. Insinuating that they broke up. Surely if he broke up with one, he could move to an identical universe but one where Rick doesn't exist and meet her again. It's more likely that his wife is just as clever as him and is hiding from him in every reality. Like the citadel of Rick but for her. Beth is very head strong and dominant over Jerry, it is likely that her mother was as well making her and Rick clash being both dominant. It's likely he wishes he'd given in more to her to make himself happy. Anyways, just a thought.

[@survivalist2607]

Just A Thought? That's Impressive.

[@imadeyoureadthis1]

Or his wife deleted herself from every reality and rick just blames himself, drinks and tries to forget everything about it. If his wife exists in every reality, there's a reality where she is bad at hiding. Ricks would have found her. Maybe rick made a mistake and deleted her. Fact is, her totality or avatars of her in the shows "real time" haven't showed up yet.

[@geordiepelt3862]

I've been thinking about something like this a lot, I've always thought what if she wasnt dead

[@stubbornpotatogaming6220]

This is another detail that needs to be confirmed, it just make sense. Rick and his portal gun is like an addiction of escapism in something like the Remote of Morty in The Vats Episode. The Portal gun is Rick's way to see in thw multiverse, his flaws, his strenghts, his successes, and his mistakes. Yet his wife is constant on every multiverse, he cannot change, escape, chase, or fix.

[@user-dz2hj6jo5h]

Agree, Rick specifically said that his marriage ended in failure, but i think she still died also. Like when rick said to Beth that she made the crap out of those eggs and then followed it up by ‘i wish your mother was here to taste them’ or something close to that, which kinda insinuates that she’s not alive because a divorce doesn’t mean loosing contact with your kids. The only other thing i could think of is that the mother may have dementia and so whether she’s alive or not she doesn’t really visit her family, cos she’s physically incapable.

We know Rick identifies as C-137, but we don’t know if Morty is C-137. Nor do we know Evil Morty’s identity either. Universe 2 Beth says Rick was gone for 20 years. Universe 1 Beth did as well. Rick C-137 held Morty when he was little. It’s not possible for Rick to have been gone for that long and not miss holding Morty. Plus he at least knows, but also somehow remembers Jerry and Beth going to Prom, and him knocking up Beth. - Rick also fought a Revolution and became a wanted criminal to the Galactic Government. It is possible Universe 1 Rick is still out there, never re-contacting Beth, on top of Universe 1 being messed up already. This means Morty of (unknown) has never met his original Rick. Rick C-137 also knows a confident Morty is a bad Morty. Speaking from experience perhaps? Further proving Morty isn’t Ricks first Morty. Also, Dianne is likely out there somewhere, since Beth and Rick never say she is dead. Why she doesn’t visit her grandkids I don’t know, maybe because Rick is there?

I still believe his family actually died, and he jumped to another dimension where he himself had died (so he could take his place) but Beth is alive. That’s why he “disappeared” for so many years; it’s when the Rick of the reality we follow was dead, before our Rick came from another dimension. Our Rick is mourning the family he lost, while living with a replica of them.

[@stupidiot17]

This goes against the theory of Evil Morty being the real grandson of c137.

[@D3RPJosh]

@@stupidiot17 what if evil morty was the cause of the family’s deaths?

[@painoftheheart12]

@@stupidiot17 maybe not. Maybe the rest of the family died but morty didnt. I mean we see tons of morties in the Citadel and they never return home. There are even morties with no Rick's and even ricks with no families. So it isnt hard to believe that C137 Rick and Morty have no one but each other. We also know that C137 Rick genuinely loved his original family. We know the baby Morty in his memory is not the current Morty and it would also explain why, since dumping their last reality, Rick has become more invested in this family but wildly swings from genuine affection to callous indifference. But seen in season 4 finale and season 5 episode 2, Rick has found himself entangling himself deeper in the family. As Beth says in the latest episode. He's become afraid of losing them

When you know nothing matters, then nothing has meaning, so all that’s left is distraction, which is fleeting and not always available, sometimes leaving you with nothing, and where there’s nothing, there’s depression.

[@rainbowcat832]

Apple Pi Right, since *nothing* is given meaning, it becomes apparent. Before, nothing was exactly that: nothing at all. Darkness. What's your theory of nothing in this context now that's it's been given meaning?

[@thebuddercweeper]

@@rainbowcat832 I think you may have misinterpreted my use of the word nothing, rather than the abstract concept of nothingness, I meant to use it to convey that there is nothing between you and negative thoughts, perhaps those are existential and actually relate to the abstract concept of nothingness, or perhaps they are more material, but either way, once you have outgrown the concept of inherent meaning, you are left with only one source of happiness, which is shallow, and therefore only provides happiness in the moment it is happening, and a lingering aftertaste of itself, but nothing lasting.
