This isn’t really related to Rick and Morty but it’s really interesting to see that loads of countries have folk tales with the same basic storyline.

[@sweetsour4375]

Part of the reason is that stories got spread around and altered somewhat with each iteration so that each culture had their own version of a story. That's not always why, it's just a factor. If there's on thing I've learned from college art history classes, it's that ideas used to spread farther than most people today realize.

[@snarkasticdouche3863]

Think for a moment about the current "furries", and the fact that human-animal hybrids seem to be as old as recorded civilization. Every culture that I'm aware of has elements of anthropomorphized animals, and half-human creatures in their folklore. Fun fact, tangentially, but not exactly related. One element of the mythology of traditional Chinese medicine is that many of those concepts were said to be brought to them by people described as looking like light haired Europeans. We all shared myths and legends with each other for many thousands of years, and we mixed; and matched, and re-shared ideas with each other. It's present in our religions as well. Not only that, evidence to our shared development appears in our languages as well. Asian writing systems in particular can have characters that have small pieces of them that are similar to letters in writing systems like Aramaic, Hebrew, Cuneiform, etc. Our history is wet and wild, in short. It's absolutely bonkers.

[@_.El._]

I think “ hating time travel” is Ricks and the creators way of doing a cheeky nod to Back to the Future. While Rick and Morty characters are based of Doc and Marty who dabble in Time Travel Rick and Morty deal more with dimension travel

[@tarsier419]

this has been my theory for a bit. the biggest evidence for me is in season one when they go to the citadel they pass a Morty that looks like rick and rick says "You either die the Morty or live long enough to see yourself become the Rick"

[@shady8045]

Can you send me the clip

[@no.6243]

I think evil Morty targeted c137 because he was one of the few Ricks that could bring down the citadel. Knocking down the power structure was key to seizing power, and Rick c137 was definitely pivotal in that event.

[@Holdmymawashi]

That’s the reason Homer and Krusty look and sound so similar. It was planned that Homer was secretly Krusty...

[@fidget0227]

By that logic, half the side characters would be the same person. Justin voices Rick, Morty, Mr. Poopybutthole, Meeseeks, and several named and unnamed one-offs.

[@Beastofdestruct]

Tammy was introduced as an evil character at the end of season 2. She didn't show up until the very last episode in season 4 where she was immediately killed by Rick, who claimed she died as she lived "overserialized." If 2 episodes is too much for the show, then I definitely don't see any fan theories holding up.

[@Mr.Cerebr0]

There are 2 kind of series: 1- a kind where each episode have nothing to do with the other and each episode can reboot the show even if everyone dies next episode everyone can be alive like nothing happened. 2- series of episodes that are connected to one another where it's trying to tell a big story. The problem with rick and morty, it's trying to be both at the same time, they can literally say ANY episode where C-137 wasn't mentioned that this episode isn't canon or that it was based on any other rick and it would still make sense. So the show is trying to have their cake and eat it too.

[@adras007]

She was in way more episodes

[@robbygill824]

[@Toshio_77]

Yoo sick, I vibe with your theory the most so far!

[@cannon-evans]

That makes sense. Didn’t they mention something near the beginning about how the past affects the future because without it the future and present falls apart? If he remembers Morty, Morty won’t just disappear… or, strangely, he still gets surprised by certain events happening. Like, if he remembered everything that’s already happened, maybe that’s why he’s so prepared all the time and never worried? The hallucination says ‘this is your timeline’ so perhaps there’s something there too.

[@jamirasingss6518]

And then goes back to give this morty a happier life than his or a better one and that’s how all the ricks are made in different universes. Like morty now knowing all he does and being raised by Rick becomes Rick in tribute to the man who raised and taught him all about the universe but still comes back for the new morty created to give him the best friend he had growing up

This doesn't necessarily tie into a lot of things, But you know how Rick is depressed all the time because he knows so much. Ever sort of wake up at night remembering something stupid you did in the past? Well, doncha think if you had to live with your stupid teenage self all the time, see him make all the same mistakes you'd be depressed maybe even find it funny sometimes, maybe sometimes frustrating. Wouldn't you rather take your past self on cool fun adventures instead of just living that same loser life. Doesn't have to be just knowing all the secrets of the universe. Reconciling with your past is something we always have trouble with. Memory is the key.

Here's the thing. I get your theory. However, evil morty targeting our rick could be interpreted another way. I think evil morty's ultimate goal was always to take over the citadel. Once that's done, he'd have eliminated the threat of all ricks, except one; our rick. Hence, he's determined to eliminate him once and for all. Just like he did to the ricks who failed to comply to him on the cousel because they'd pose a threat to his authority and perhaps even stand in the way of his plans. But heey!!

My theory: After Rick dies, Morty wears his clothes and styles his hair like him as a coping mechanism, that’s the silhouette. He then drinks the potion a few years later(when the silhouette is seen). Like in the story film theory referenced, he faints then wakes up years later, waking up old, so he looks like Rick. It feels like no time has past for him, so he’s still coping. As a coping mechanism he delves in to Science to live on Rick’s legacy. Doing this he stumbles upon Rick’s old inventions and gadgets so he goes into another similar world(which hasn’t reunited with Rick yet) gets rid of their Rick and comes back to relive those adventures and memories.

Two alternate theories, without time travel: Rick knew he would be killed, so he used Morty's memory to reanimate himself.

Close in some ways, but much different at the same time.

It wouldn't be too far fetched to think that considering that Morty's can grow to be like Rick's and C-137 is trying to stop another mass genocide of the next generations of Rick's.

So, the liquid in the vial is what is always in Rick’s flask. Also, it wouldn’t be drool on Rick’s chin, it’s the blue liquid from the vial. Perhaps, the Morty/Rick change IS a transformation and by constantly sipping the flask, Rick is essentially immortal by always being in the state of that transformation. He can’t get older, preserving his time with his current Morty/self.

I think with all the deep thought done by the fans and the theories they put forward, the creators are sitting back and laughing their asses off. I think they troll the theories and stoke the fires by putting out stuff like this that seems to support some of the theories. They never flatly acknowledge or deny anything. As long as we’re talking about R&M they are happy and raking in the Schmeckles.

[@FlatDecade]

Now that seasons have passed it doesn’t make sense that there is an original Morty, cause Beth died as a child so maybe it was his FIRST Morty

[@fitzdraco]

There's a third option. Rick has shown himself to be very capable of transferring his consciousness from one being to another. Both Ricks did it in the toxic rick episode. The clones were another option that didn't work out the way he liked. It's entirely possible that the memory juice Rick gave to Morty simply erased everything Morty had in his head and replaced it with a copy of Rick. Essentially killing him. Later on he looks for ways that don't involve waiting for a Morty to grow up so he can steel his body.

[@BattleDragonGaming]

That’s kinda what I thought

[@maxhutto3056]

But none of the clone Rick's looked like a Morty. If he really is Morty then shouldn't the adolescent clone look exactly like Morty?

In Morty's Mind Blowers (S3 E8) both Rick and Morty lose their memories. After attempting to remember who they were, summer shows up and saves the day by using a *blue vial* on Rick and a yellow vile on Morty so they could both *regain their memories* up to the point before they lost them. Now at 6:20 Rick instructs morty to drink a very special *blue vial* once he's gone and later calls him *Rick Sanchez* I'm just pointing this out because of its similarities between these 2 scenes and thought it'd make for an interesting theory.

[@Zant4769]

Wait a minute. About that blue mixture. There is much better solution. If I understand correctly it is made partly of this memory parasites. They could create completely new being just from (fake) memories. But mixture is made by Rick and it could for example create much better version of this parasite (like Mr Poopybutthole in other theory) - Parasite that is functioning like normal live being. So if Morthy drink it and try to remind himself about rick it could create our Rick. Maybe even with all of his memories.
