This just reminds me heavily, of how rick says “Don’t let it get to you, a cocky morty is a problem for us all” almost foreshadowing something bigger than what we have seen of morty.

Well we kind of already know what a cocky Morty can do. Evil Morty is a thing, after all. We know what he can do if he develops in the right way, and it's just as much as Rick if not more.

@@GigaLigma I always thought of this morty to be a future version of season 5 morty. I don’t know why but I can see current morty taking place within evil morty, or atleast becoming a different version of evil morty. 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

[@dq8a]

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.

[@LOTRfanatic121]

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.

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.

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.

I wanna say no.

[@finalbossbowser]

Here's a theory, well prediction: the next time we see Evil Morty, he won't be antagonistic to the main Rick we follow. I agree with the previous theory that Evil Morty has a personal vendetta against main Rick (I forget the universe designation) and might even be his original Morty. I believe at this point Evil Morty has already won and knows it. At this point, main Rick is noticing his isolation and weaknesses more which leaves two paths: self-destruction or self-improvement. If Rick self-destructs, then Evil Morty just has to sit back and watch as main Rick makes his own life harder and harder and himself more miserable. If he self-improves, the main Rick is no longer the man Evil Morty wants revenge on, and as an extra bonus the person Rick becomes would disgust the Rick that wronged Evil Morty. He can let main Rick go so he can focus on ruling the rest of the Ricks of the multiverse. It would flip the usual vengeance story on its head, because normally the antagonist wants vengeance specifically when their target is becoming a better person and fit the themes being set up in this season as you have Evil Morty, a two-episode recurring character with more agency than most of the main cast, just off-screen.

Morty’s family was somewhat dysfunctional even before Rick arrived on their doorstep years ago. His presence has more or less complicated things for the family, but I believe when the rest of the family discovers why Rick left and what happened to his wife, it may tear the family apart. Idk, just a theory, either way, if it comes to that, there’s bound to be a lot of emotional drama. Which this show has a penchant for when the writers want to delve into more serious topics.
