Is Space Beth a Clone? (Rick and Morty Video Essay)

[@Slick218]

I think Space Beth is the real Beth. I like the idea that at least one real Beth got out and did something different then the Council of Ricks intended.

[@tarikrandom7535]

Yeah, Space Beth is more dead inside and less interested in Jerry.

[@egg2112]

I believe they don't care as long as a morty is born since in one universe she remarries and in another one she never marries jerry but I don't remember if they end up in a relationship in the end.

[@forgesoulfire1320]

Well she started crap with the new federation... pretty sure rick citadel, has done that a trillion times over...

[@randallbesch2424]

They are both the "real Beth" essentially. Just as all the analogs are from other universes.

[@TheBigE9999]

I think the point is that it legitimately doesn't matter which was the clone and which isn't. When Rick makes something, he makes it so that even he can't unmake or identify it, like the disguises in the train episode or Churri. That means that both Beth's are exactly the same, and the only real difference is their choice on whether to leave or stay. And then the only difference is that one got to internalize Rick's own toxic mindset that nothing matters except her so she gets to have all of the fun and no responsibility besides just staying alive. Meanwhile the other accepted responsibility but she still envies the one that doesn't

[@victormirandakoepke8352]

it wasn't even a choice, both are the same but one was convinced that she made the coice to go to space and the other believed she stayed on earth

[@raymondfisheriii791]

Honestly, that’s the real tragedy of it all. Even for Rick, in my opinion. He specifically said that he believed the choice should be up to her, but when it was given back to him, he decided to make it as passive and impartially as possible by making the clone but also making it where he’s not fully sure which one is the clone. No one will really get to know unless someone makes a machine that can specifically tell, like a clone carbon dater or something that can tell exactly how long one being’s been alive in comparison to the other

[@shadowhell8378]

I wouldn't have be surprised that Rick made 2 clones 1 for space fun and 1 for home duties and the real beth is in a pod in the basement living both lives at once.

[@theanimeunderworld8338]

I doubt that the Beths will be ended I think the creators are fine with the two.

[@shadowhell8378]

@@theanimeunderworld8338 I know but imagine back when the choice was made they instead had that where beth was living a space Renegade life and a home life in a Roy like mechanic. That is what I was saying in my comment.

[@dbzcupcake]

The creators would have that be the surprise twist. I don't think they'd do that since we do see Rick's memory of the incident. But they always could if they felt like it

[@lornbaker1083]

That seems. Pretty much on point for rick

[@victormirandakoepke8352]

I think the neck device isn't a bomb, and is exactly like Rick promised, since not only do both Beth's have it, it'd be the perfect "fix" to the problem of not knowing which is real. If the Neck device is meant to as he said, connect and share both Beth's memories with eachother when they come close, then he never actually has to make the choice and neither does Beth, if she ever decided to come back she'd know exactly what happened and might even just decide to swap places with the clone if she wanted to. It's the ultimate "not a choice" option. It doesn't matter which one is the clone because he essentially made both of them to be one Beth in two places at once.

[@pedanticat9479]

When it comes to the question of who the clone, I legit love that the show decided to keep it ambiguous

[@seeleunit2000]

Well, I think it was ridiculous since it would have been that difficult to just have the original, Beth have full memory of making a choice instead of making her dad choose.

They didnt though, their noses are slightly different, you can track which one is the real one

[@SkylarThompson-mu1qs]

@@IdealIdeas100 The real Beth is Space Beth.

[@IdealIdeas100]

@@SkylarThompson-mu1qs idk why youre telling me this when I told you how to track them

[@Bolderox]

I have heard the rationalization that space beth is the clone because from profile shots, space beth has a somewhat downward curve to the nose where real beth has a straight line downward from earlier seasons. like 41:19

[@Skull_Corn]

I've enjoyed these two Beth episodes, Beth is easily one of my favorite Rick and Morty characters

[@lockskelington314]

My theory is that they're both clones and the bombs in their necks would have killed both of them transferring them to the real Beth's body that's hidden away in Rick's Garage!

[@Celeste-jh2lj]

I like this theory

[@randallbesch2424]

Hypothesis.

[@mathieuleader8601]

Beth is a riddle wrapped in an enigma

[@bemasaberwyn55]

"Drill me when I'm drunker" PHRASING Rick

[@purlayumi5434]

I like that it ultimately doesn't matter who is the clone

[@aurahoneydew9607]

It kinda does adds flavor to a character instead of making them throwaway prop. Most likely the home Beth is the real one since her daddy issues would most likely be what keeps from leaving him and by extension the family.

[@alfredhinton8792]

This is like the second Beth we’re on and third Jerry. Rick’s “real” Beth was killed by Rick prime. It doesn’t matter which is “original”

[@BrandonScott-mi5pz]

EXCELLENT WORK. KITTY MONK RICK AND MORTY BETH IS A CLONE 😅😅😅😅

[@aurahoneydew9607]

@alfredhinton8792 well more like Canon Beth. Since with a show like this variants are just like props. Like how futurama had Fry hook up with a new Leela after that only forward moving time machine.

[@alexvaughan1013]

In the end, it doesn't even matter! Ha, topical!

[@alexvaughan1013]

How ironic. Rick didn't create the real Beth, but he DID create the clone Beth! 😲

[@EPGamer22]

I always think Space beth is the real beth, and the beth they have with them is the clone cause if you can tell how space beth additude is different after that episode when beth ask rick to clone her

[@randallbesch2424]

Rick can copy the brain exactly so it is impossible to know the clone.

[@seeleunit2000]

Honestly, I think this would be way less complicated if they had just allowed the original Beth keep her memory and let her make the decision instead of letting Rick do it. This is just an example of the fact that she didn't want to make a choice. She's just like her father. Having Space Beth just be the actual Beth and the clone was the that one that stuck around

[@Eric6761]

I think this would be good writing wise however this could affect the chemistry since if Beth left then there would be 1 less smith

[@danielgodfrey4415]

Either Space Beth is the real Beth or they both are the real Beth and Rick detoxification Beth. Space Beth has the more toxic traits of Beth.

[@CatKun-2000]

This might sound crazy but when I saw the episode I kind of thought space beth was the clone mostly because I remember playing a mission in lego MARVEL superheroes 1 when I had to keep my eye on the ball to win a character btw Space beth is so cool

[@conradaster3764]

I love the S. Beth, Beth and Jerry dynamic. I feel like Beth and jerry's risqué sex life made them a healthier couple like Barry's parents in American Dad

[@alexvaughan1013]

Perfect timing. Nikocado Avocado also cloned himself, and the skinny clone made a YT video. No idea what happened to the real Nik. Maybe he's off scoffing cereal bombs!

[@Quartzite9]

I think skinny Nick is the real one

[@alexvaughan1013]

@@Quartzite9 Either way, fat Nik is probably locked in a shed eating stupid quantities of food. That kind of food addiction isn't easy to break, even if doing so was all "just as planned"!

[@icedqq]

no it doesnt matter which nik is the real one because at the moment of cloning there was no difference between the two at the atomic level

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Also remember Jerry had feelings for "Beth's husband" in the episode with the worms episode

[@ryszakowy]

jerry is the last person allowed to fold himself into emotional bug

[@rafaelbrites3607]

for me, it didn´t matter who´s is the real one. both represents paths that bethy could chosse . one became a space adventurer that is way bettter then rick and the other one the family, but she became a mother way better then rick was a father.

[@arthuralexander1449]

Clone! I like the idea of Space Beth Being the real one because if she is then every single member of the Smith family aren't related, if she isn't then Beth and Summer are the odd ones out in being the only ones that are with a original family member, in this case original mom/daughter

[@Jok3st3r]

46 minutes just to answer the question with: “I dunno.” Really, Kitty?

[@rjshadow4321]

I think Space Beth is the real Beth since Earth Beth changed to fast to be the real. Don't forget Jerry takes after his dad in that he watches.

[@silentassason]

45:39 this scene always gets a loud belly laugh from me whenever i watch the episode. I had to pause the first time i saw it because I was just laughing like a mad man. Their faces when they hear whats going on is hilarious and reminds me of when Morty got that...*cool robot*...back in season one where the whole family agreed to ignore the noises for the most part till Rick went up and they still heard squeaking 😂

[@eyallev]

space beth is the clone, and here's how we can tell. "I can make a perfect duplicate clone of you, that has zero percent chance of going blade runner" the clone was designed to never imagine that it's a clone. the real beth, didn't have that "feature". space beth didn't consider that she was the clone, earth beth did. if they were real exact copies, both would think that they are the clone.

[@onyxratt]

Wait, this is actually a really good point

[@randallbesch2424]

Yet we are show both Beth's think the same way and came to the same conclusion on this.

[@jish55]

The issue with this is that we've seen many clones of Rick's start to question their identity (remember the episode where we've seen all the clones start to go after each other thinking they were legit and then start questioning their own existence?). The only reason the Beth who stayed started to question it was that she was acting very differently, like she did a 180 the moment the other Beth left and she started asking questions to Rick while Space Beth a) didn't just change her personality and b) didn't have someone pointing out any possible differences while also not having Rick to make her question herself. Going back to point a, I view Space Beth as the real Beth because she didn't just switch her personality on a dime, where she did seem to have the same traits as Beth had within ABC's of Beth, where it felt like a continuation of Beth's journey while the one who remained did change too much too fast.

[@eyallev]

@@jish55 Go watch it again, it wasn't the clones of RICK that came to that realization (it was summer), and it was because he was getting sloppy

[@Cardlimits]

as long as rick doesn't know himself, we can't know. Rick's concept of clones is literally identical. In order to get some confirmation is if someone else was there and kept track of the shuffle.

[@bascetkase8229]

[@MoxxoM]

I saw a short where it's shown that in s6e3 the Beth's have different noses in profile. And in the last episode where we know for sure it's the original one, the nose is also shown in profile. So maybe that was a clue. Or she was punched in the nose too often. Who knows.

[@greyworld6242]

46:27 Why do I feel like that drink is what caused all this crap?

[@StrikerFX47]

I've been trying to figure it out back then. Honestly it's really hard to tell.

[@aurahoneydew9607]

Yeah her somewhat care for the family and heavy dependence on rick would probably keep her from leaving.

[@DarkMagicianGirl0]

Originally this was about 4x longer. I am glad I was able to condense it... It was bad 😂. Unfortunately this is conveluded and i may have made it worse by condensing it. Sorry about that 😐 I have a weird question. If a clone with all the originals past memories comes into existence after you get married, and in a situation in which only one side is knowledgeable, and the clones and you don't know which the original is, both the clone and the original have sex with the person they married, is there cheating happening, and if so which side is cheating on what situation and is there a difference between cheating on the named person (ex. "I cheated on Beth") versus cheating on your spouse (ex. "I cheated on my wife") and if so which one? This is a very weird question so... Ummm... Anyone who even tries to help me with this conundrum is greatly appreciated 😅 lol. Have a great day 💖

Rick should've just sent the clone to space. It's a clone who cares what happened.

[@Sly88Frye]

33:28 don't worry about it. A lot of people including myself are actually not always that good at seeing the signs. Sometimes I am I've actually been better at it but in some cases I'm not. Actually what really infuriates me is that when I'm with my wife apparently there's chicks who are into me that see me and somehow when they are talking to me well my wife actually thinks that these women are trying to get my attention and find me really attractive but I mean to me it just seems like they're just talking to me. And the most annoying thing about it is I'm not aware of any kind of flirtation or anything but then after this other woman isn't around, my wife gets really pissed off because of the fact that I'm not even noticing that they're being flirtatious and quite frankly my wife shouldn't even be mad that I'm not noticing that because that means I wasn't into The other woman at all. But yeah apparently I don't notice these cues myself.

[@randallbesch2424]

Genius Morty since he has killed as much as Morty.

[@jish55]

I always viewed Space Beth as the real Beth because Beth leaving her family and going to space feels like the legit progression she'd go through. Her staying behind just doesn't fit what was going on with her at that time, where she came to the realization that she was Rick's daughter and had a very similar mentality to her dad. Having a clone was the perfect excuse for her to finally bounce without feeling guilty since the clone would be able to do everything she would and no one would be the wiser. I feel like real Beth would have taken advantage of that get out of jail free card and bounced the first chance she got.

[@jptheflipper3825]

very nice video Kitty, love your Rick and Morty vids and look forward to more If I may, I believe Space Beth is the clone and I have a theory as to why. Space Beth does not care for Jerry, like at all whereas Earth Beth does and is the one that went back to him and tried to make the marriage work. she was also the one concerned when he went into his ball to protect himself. Now we all know Rick is a terrible father, he says it himself and he is also the one that broke Jerry and Beth up in the 1st place and does nothing look down on Jerry and the fact that he is with his daughter, I think he said something along the lines of "She is Ricks daughter, he had options". if Earth Beth was the clone, do you think for a single moment that Rick would of made a clone that would actually go back to Jerry? I don't think so, I think real Beth actually loved Jerry somewhere behind the resentment and regret and this is something Rick couldn't remove, but he could, in theory, not include in the clone and thus Space Beth is the clone because she chose everything but Jerry and as we saw when she and Earth Beth hooked up, she clearly loved herself more than Jerry

Didnt Space Beth and Home Beth have slightly different noses and you can use that to find out which one is the real one? Edit: Ya, I remember someone pointing this out. 1 of them have a slightly more sloped nose. So you can tell which one is the clone and which one isnt.
