Film Theory: Rick REPLACED? (Rick and Morty Season 5)

Get Your BRAND NEW Food Theory Merch NOW! ► bit.ly/3vtguU0
Rick and Morty has returned with a bang... at least for Morty. He was truly the "hero" of this episode while Rick was floundering to meet his usual standards. In the previous season, Rick was too cool to be touched by almost anything going on. In this episode we see him struggle to maintain his usual attitude in the face of his rival, Mr. Nimbus. In the meantime, Morty takes on a much more "Rick" like role. Can this be the future of Rick and Morty?

Rick was actually sober in this episode, no burping, no slurring, he didn’t drink any of the wine. I didn’t notice it at first but it’s interesting. I wonder how long it will last.

[@GigaLigma]

Nice find. I doubt it'll last too long since it wasn't INTENTIONAL on his part; he starts the episode off practically dead and is then forced to focus on Mister Nimbus immediately upon returning to Earth, a presence he finds so compelling that he doesn't stop for anything. But it could be foreshadowing similar situations in the future, we might even get to see him go through withdrawal. That'd be neat.

I mean i thought it was kinda obvious that the backstory had elements of truth (obviously Beth was his daughter in the flashback) but, that could easily be ricks memory from the viewpoint of the Rick who came in before him and told him about portals. But the “memory” being from his viewpoint would be the fabricated part of it.

When rick said a cocky morty is a problem for us all, i don’t think he was referring to just himself and the family, i think he was referring to everybody else as in the cinidel. Since what is evil morty, cocky. He knows he is now untouchable and he deceived everybody. Including the council of ricks by creating a rick, since it was a robot

It goes without saying that the Rickiest Rick would have the Mortiest Morty. It would also go without saying that if there is an Evil Morty, there should be an equal force on the other end of the spectrum.

I feel so bad for both Rick and Morty after this ep. For Morty, he was the closest he had ever been to Jessica (and we even know she felt the same way about him), only for Rick's wine duty to ruin it. As for Rick, he realized how lonely and eventually powerless he is.

Just to add what you're doing is possibly against KZbin's rules and I reported your content, if youtube thinks it's valid fine that's their call; if it's not then good luck. You're literally creating a service to encourage people to use your ad service and then paying people for using your said ad service effectively being a 3RD party ad system that is effectively fraud. On a small scale this is innocent enough but if you get this large enough this will have a knock on effect, creating viewers into payers does provide an incentive for the user to engage and you're removing actual competitors in the youtube ad space department for content creators, however this idea of yours is literally going to spawn copy cats and mega corps will just do the same thing once they see it's cheaper and more effective to do so, paying 3M people 3 cents rather than paying a mega cooperation 3M dollars.

The second episode definitely fits this theory. (SPOILER WARNING) We constantly see Beth, and the rest of the family to a lesser degree, argue against killing the other decoys but the Ricks ignore them. All Ricks are terrified of discovering that they aren't the original Rick. Unlike Beth and Space Beth, who fought but then came to terms with their situation, Rick in incapable of accepting that he might be a clone. Rick's biggest fear is losing his agency and becoming a supporting character in his own show. Edit: Also, while the Smith family we see at the end of the episode is most likely the original family, they were basically just cameos in this episode. The story wasn't about them. What's more, all of the character development we see with the various Beths and Ricks throughout the episode is wiped away by the end. None of the characters we were watching survived. The rest of the show isn't about them.

I think Rick will spiral down the path you are talking about, convincing he doesn’t need his family and must have vengeance to them. This sets up a reason for C-137 Rick and Evil Morty to potential team up, learning about both characters stories and could turn to have Rick being the real villain.
