We did it, Theorists. We've reached the end of Rick and Morty season 4 - and what a season it was! It feels both like nothing happened at all and that EVERYTHING has changed. Maybe that was the point. In the season 4 finale, we were hit with a WHAMMY of a twist. There really is a Beth clone! Not only that but Rick, and by extension us, have no idea which one it is! That leads to what could be the final straw for Rick and his family.

I theorize that next season will be Rick spending less time with the family as they all act like he's no longer needed, where as he stays away throughout a large chunk of the season, the family starts to revert back to hating one another (Both Beths starting to see Jerry in a far worse light, the kids getting on each other's nerves, Morty starting to become more egotistical while also starting to feel out of place everywhere as his purpose left). It'll end with everyone realizing that Rick was essential to the family and that without him, everything falls apart.

I don't see what's heavy about a daughter wanting her father to decide if he wants her in his life or not. To me him deliberately not choosing which one stayed shows that he doesn't care or doesn't want to care about his daughter being in his life as long as the status quo stays the same.

The way Rick changes is being a bad dad now bothers him

[@WreckinPoints11]

My prediction is that Rick will start looking for ways to become a better father while he still can in season 5

[@revolveroshawott3582]

@@WreckinPoints11 That's kind of something that'll be an issue that I'd like to see explored too, because there are a lot of people within the fanbase that like Rick _because_ of the kind of antics that make him a bad dad. Think all the way back to the pilot with his talk of 'adventures' while hovering over a debilitated Morty: that was 100% psychopath, and he always circles back to that literally any time he involves his family in any way more tangible that just spending time with them at home. People may think of the word 'sitcom' as derogatory, but R&M is, mostly, a situational comedy. All of its drama is serial, all of its comedy is situational, and the reason most sitcoms don't entertain serialization is because a lot of their comedy comes from unbridled selfishness - this is no exception. Serialization reckons with the fact that, to be a good dad, he's going to have to go to great lengths to restrain himself I'd also imagine at some point that they'll draw more parallels between Rick and Jerry: both are selfish and parasitic to their families by nature, the difference is that Jerry's parasitic nature is by necessity (he can't function on his own), while Rick's is by choice (he is so hyper-independent that he can leave any time he chooses, and much of Beth's abusive nature is basically perpetuated by the fact that for most of her life, he _did_ leave by choice, constantly)

[@kedros45]

@@WreckinPoints11 my predicion is that Rick will keep running away from his problems (and more specifically from home) and look for escapism elsewhere, since he still can't deal with interaction or the fact that everything is meaningless in his opinion. By the end of s5, he may find something he finds meaningful for once. And after that he could start become a better person

[@lewislake5128]

I think Rick is literally afraid to change. One of the ricks ignored their hyper-intelligence and made a family. The other ricks took him and used his happy memories as a snack bar. Maybe Rick is afraid of standing out from the hardcore cold hearted grandpas running around with portal guns and drug addictions.

[@RubyBlueUwU]

For all his talk about how the universe is random, unpredictable and chaotic everything he does is desperately trying to gain control over everything and everyone around him, he would rather things were terrible but constant, rather everyone be miserable as long as he’s pulling the strings because he cannot cope with uncertainty or a lack of control and some semblance of order, even if that order is chaos. You’re right, he’s horrified by change and losing control, simultaneously trying to pretend he’s totally fine with chaos.

[@skybowqwq3195]

I have thought about this too long so I just write here for you all: I really like Ricks Charakter in the Show. I like it how most of the time he doesn’t care about some alien or human life. But at the same time I want him to change. I want him to care more about his family, friends etc. Because it feels like he has feelings for them, but he just doesn’t show them. Maybe because his wife left him and he wanted to change? (If there is an answer for ricks wife or something like that in season 5, don’t Spoiler me. I am from Germany and waiting for it to come to Netflix). After his wife left him he worked more for his science Projekts. After he knew how big the univers is and how much timelines there are, he started to think that his life doesn’t really matter because he and his family are just a little point in the hole thing just like Mat Said. I wish he changes his thoughts about the „I don’t care for my family“ thing. I want him to care about morty, Sommer, Beth and Jerry but I don’t want him to care too much. I like how he insults them and it’s funny and all of them know there he actually cares for them so it’s okay! To be honest: I would be a little sad, if the 5th season is more like Summer and morty than Rick and morty. I personally don’t like summer but I kinda understand her how she feels when Rick and morty do everything together. It would be cool that Rick starts to care for his family when he is on adventures with morty. I am really exited for season 5 and can’t wait till it’s on German Netflix :D Ps: I don’t really care about the grammar right now, I just want to say what I think about this hole situation :D

Maybe the final nail to shatter Rick's ego is "Evil Morty", who'll prove that even his "smartest man in the universe" title, the very thing that makes him "him", isn't even true.

It's really perfect, because there are two reasons to not know who is who. First: He doesn't want to mistreat the clone as second grade creature... obviously you dont need to delete your memory about that... Second: To find an excuse to treat any Beth as the clone, in which case, calling himself a bad father makes sense....😅 Also: I'm kind of curious if this comment gets any reaction after all that time 😊

[@ernestdement4869]

I'm gonna take this a step further. The whole season was also about Morty being the representation of serialization. The vat of acid episode is the only episode this season where we see Rick use his portal gun to go into a different dimension. He specifically tells Morty that he wasn't going to ruin THEIR world just to teach him a lesson. In the end the solution for Morty's problem was getting back in the fake vat of acid, in other words, return to the episodic show style so they can begin and end every episode however they want with no consequences. The same with the episode about the death crystals. Morty saw that he was going to die an almost infinite number of different ways but tried to follow the path that would lead him to a singular conclusion. The first step in that was getting rid of Rick. Rick's presence keeps the show episodic and ever changing. In the end Morty discovers that the happy endings are not always good after all and learned the lesson that things don't need to wrapped up. They can be left chaotic and just suddenly stop and that's okay.

The problem with Rick "changing" is that how does one change him while still having his charisma? Historically every time a show enters the traditional values with love and righteousness, things get boring. Not to mention Rick, who is one of the most charismatic person in TV history because of how he treats everything with nihilism, so how does one change Rick while maintaining his Rick-ness? I am dying to see how the writers will treat him. I don't really agree on MatPat saying Rick needs to be knocked down more, I think this is his lowest point, even though Rick never mentions it, his family is what matters most to him, he doesn't stay with other versions of Bird person or Squanchy, he stays only with alternate versions of his family, him losing the house is him losing everything.
