[@BananerRepublic]

He wasnt close at all

[@hnaju007]

If you look at it again, our Rick is the most sentimental of them all. The only reason he didn’t go for Rick prime at the time was because he chose Morty and the family over killing Rick prime.

[@TheLastApostle]

Jerry prime

[@princesongeorge2500]

my theory is rick prime didn't plan to kill his family, the bomb only took out the garage so he clearly wasn't aiming for the whole house most likely he just wanted to destroy rick data on portals to be petty and diane and summer just happened to walk in, we know from the dino's he cant see the other side of the portal. he left probably forgot about rick and at some point went back to his own dimension just to find it destroyed. he probably thinks rick crononberged his world on purpose as revenge

[@chrisgrin6915]

Diane and Beth*

[@schpeidermann]

We also know that Rick can precisely project the portals where ever he wants to. That means he knows what's going on on the other side (so the opacity of the portal is of no matter). There are multiple occasions where did in fact that: the episode Morty got saved by multiple consecutive portals precisely cutting, flooding and draining federal bugs away shortly before they flew away with "fart". Or where Rick shot multiple versions of him with that multibarreled gun of his, creating precise portals in front of his targets heads. There's no indication Rick Prime did NOT want to kill his family. I think he did intend to, to ultimately get what he originally came for. This way he successfully passed his technology on...

[@shukmoghe5942]

nah the timing and placement of the bomb were too perfect to be a fluke, the bomb was right behind them, so even with gud reflexes, they couldn't dodge it, plus it was timed exactly when both the ppl he cared about were in the garage. sry but this theory doesn't work out

[@ImperialLemon]

​@@schpeidermann I think all the ricks are actually just the same Rick you remember how much he hated time travel?

[@schpeidermann]

@@ImperialLemon I think it's is just the creators that don't like time travel, so they ditched that...for now. Your theory wouldn't work, because it would apply to each and everyone. Why would he be the only one? And time travel doesn't create multiple "different" versions, but exactly the same. And if you kill one, you kill all others "after" that particular Rick on that timeline. There is no way this could work.

[@MultiStormywaters]

Rick Prime and C-137 are polar opposites: Prime's conversation with his universe's Jerry (something like "never got to into the concept") indicates that Prime doesn't do the whole Morty/Smith family thing. He left and never came back. I suspect that If he's not into it, there's a good chance he killed C-137's family so that he wouldn't be held back by them, and would be free to science. Moving along from Prime, It seems to be a running standard that normal ricks do much like prime did and leave their families for the multiverse, likely coming back later to get Mortys to help hide themselves, (and because some extent they do care about beth/their families. But C137 is different - he never wanted to leave his family - they were taken from him. They were so important to him that he wages war against all other Ricks to get his revenge, and hunkers down with Prime's Morty in case he comes back.

[@goodie.vlogss]

Rick C-137 being the only Rick who wanted to stay with his family. He is the polar opposite of all the other ricks who decided to abandon their families.

[@MultiStormywaters]

@@goodie.vlogss While they did leave Beth and Diane, The other ricks have expressed levels of interest in the family that indicate that they do have some level of interest/"love" for the family. It's also implied by them that C137 cares more than they do about the family, while it seems Prime doesn't seem to care about them at all.

[@SteveParker-xb4fo]

[@MultiStormywaters]

@@SteveParker-xb4fo It could be a very tragic story, but given how heavily the series leans into "Can't/Don't/Won't" do time travel, I think I'd feel a bit cheated if they pulled that card.

I really want the explanation for Rick Prime being everywhere at once isn’t just him using clones or robots, but somehow he’s literally found a way to be everything, everywhere, all at once. He has some how put himself in a state of superposition across the multiverse

[@DeathBYDesign666]

Also keep in mind that Rick cronenburged his earth and for all we know all of his universe in the process and wants to repopulate the universe with himself in response. Maybe it wasn't an accident but an opportunity he used from Morty's infection to spread the disease to punish prime Rick or something like that. He obviously could have easily solved the problem like the counterpart he replaced but he didn't want to.

At the end you said Rick prime was willing to kill Beth and Dianne to get Rick on the right path but … Rick prime dropped the bomb through the portal to kill our rick, not his wife and kid… killing Beth and Dianne was unintended

[@bobthedopeman7327]

I never thought of it like that. Thank you

[@Trancos1202]

That's a good point. But in that case, we can also say that we didn't see(and neither did RC-137)RP drop the bomb. We assume he did. Also, if RP is the ultimate Rickiest of them all, he knew what he did. If he dropped the bomb, it wasn't to kill RC-137, it was to kill what kept him attached to his own universe, which ultimately wouldn't allow him to discover and invent the portal gun. So... In my humble opinion, I think you got it all wrong. Killing Dianne and Beth was the goal all along. RP is a heartless beast which deserves what's coming to him. And although he has mastered immortality by regenerating his cells at a fast rate, like Wolverine or the cheerleader in Heros, I think that THAT hability will be his demise, since there are faiths worse than death. No my friend. RP knew all too well what he was doing when he threw that bomb. And that makes him even more dangerous and unpredictable than our Rick. RC-137 will have to become even more ruthless in order to get his revenge. Then again. That's just my opinion. 😅

[@Bob-pe9yo]

How tf do you know it was unintended lmao? If Prime wanted to kill him why did he first leave through a portal and only then come back. You think he doesn't have any weapons on him as he's travelling between dimensions?

[@Trancos1202]

You know? There's no need to be rude. And on your question of "How do you know it was unintended?" the same can be applied to "How do you know it was intended?". We don't know. We can only presume. I belive RP was aiming for Beth and Dianne. But we really don't know. 🤷‍♂

[@chrissy9153]

I’m so late to the party I just now realized in the earlier seasons Rick “abandoning” his family wasn’t actually the same Rick that we see now it’s the one who came into the reality to be with his family and never told anyone. I’m glad to have a clearer understanding of it since there are so many and I knew they weren’t each others original Rick and Morty obviously bc ricks original morty wasn’t born, but I love that they aren’t each others original. It makes the connection more sincere because they choose to stay.

[@lobae9638]

Yes he is the Rick that chose family and turned down sapce travel, but lost his family for it ....

[@tkyoa1703]

i was still confused lol but your comment actually cleared it up for me thanks

[@dangero4142]

What about froopyland

[@CleaveTheDragon]

When Rick Prime is offered a team up by Jerry, he passes on it stating that he really doesn’t team up anymore, “managing people, such a headache”. This implies he DID once have his own group of ricks he led but that at this point in time doesn’t anymore, and has no interest in. Given what we’ve seen of the citadel, the quality of being around Ricks of other universes doesn’t seem all that great, and Rick Prime might have realized this sooner

[@gmork1090]

When 137 killed the pre-citadel group, Prime likely stopped giving a shit and did other things.

[@popcod]

If Rick Prime is portal-ing using green portals, isnt he only traversing the central finite curve (CFC)? I wonder if he made it. If Rick Prime was building a Rick Army (from the universes where Rick's the smartest) could the CFC be only a petri dish for the Rick Army before 'going golden' and taking in the wider multiverse? Could Season 8 be Rick Prime vs Evil Morty with C137 and Morty (Prime?) bouncing about in the middle? Wider multiverse would allow us to meet Smart Mortys, Smart Jerrys and non-dead Dianes.

[@godnmaste]

Good idea man! so good that a bot stole it lol

[@popcod]

@@godnmaste lol, ouch

[@LucianDevine]

There's a risk though, if they try and branch out of the CFC they could be instantly quashed by something like an even smarter version of the dinosaurs that we see in the CFC. We see the dinosaurs in the CFC that can basically rival Rick, and while he can dino-proof his tech, he can't really overpower theirs. So if there is an even more intelligent and advanced version of them outside of the CFC, if Rick Prime, RP, tries to expand outside the CFC, he could get instantly teleported into a prison cell he is helpless in and BOOM!

[@Resursator]

Rick might still uses CFC just because it's safer and easier to use. Using realities where Rick isn't the smartest being in the universe could be dangerous, cause their smartest beings might track his portals and trap him.

[@samwilson4597]

what if Morty went to the universes where Morty is the smartest. Rick Prime vs Evil Morty will be crazy

[@ClouidyKai]

I’d go a step up and say Rick Prime might’ve done something better than Immortality, he might’ve found a way to be Nigh-Omnipresent. It would explain how he can be in multiple places at once, and heal up so quickly since he could just switch him body to a time/place he wasn’t hurt or had super healing

[@readysetmood9473]

So that explain's the "absentee father".. So Rick Prime left his family, then C137 came in. It was a recurring dynamics between beth and Rick back in the earlier seasons

[@Robby_Rob]

So Beth doesn’t know c-137 isn’t her real dad?

[@SanityCheckOfficial]

@@Robby_RobBeth Prime is dead. The current Beth knows that Rick is not her father after they vanished and told their bodies were in the back.

[@khalilXD100]

So there are essentially two types of ricks. The Ricks that don’t turn down the deal and abandon their family for knowledge and power, and the Ricks that do turn it down and get their families killed in order to be spurred on into creating the tech on their own since every Rick should technically be capable of doing it. I feel like the citadel ricks are the ones that accepted and the ones they consider rogue are the ones that didn’t and are out there killing other ricks in hopes of revenge with the exception of rick prime who started all this and isn’t a founder of the citadel because of his need for seclusion.

[@KingOfWinter]

We didn’t actually see Rick Prime kill Diane and Beth so we don’t know for sure it was him. I could see it being a setup by one of Ricks many enemies. Maybe Rick Primes Diane died of natural causes (after Beth was born obviously). Which causes Rick Prime to dive into his work which was why he was so mad/jealous when our Rick refuses the gift in favor of his family. That or Rick Prime has/had a plan that required him to go around to different dimensions helping his other selves unlock the key to the portal gun. Either way really excited for S7

[@brandondavis3689]

Would be a cool theory, but Diane wasn't killed in rick prime dimension after having Beth, her mother raised her until she died, rick prime just abandoned it.

[@KingOfWinter]

@brandondavis3689. Oh ok I couldn’t remember if they ever talked about what happened to C-137’s Diane. I know it was said Rick Prime “abandoned his family” but even if only Beth was alive the statement would still be true. Do you mind telling me how you know she wasn’t killed or what episode talks about it?

[@brandondavis3689]

@Thomas Smithson I can't tell u what ep I don't remember, I just recall prime Beth stating that her mom had to raise her after rick abandoned her in season 1. So the theory that prime rick dived into his work because diane died wouldnt be the case because diane raised her AFTER rick left. Though saying diane "died" is as an exaggeration, we have no idea what happened to prime ricks Diane. We also don't know what happened to our current Beth's diane. So it goes as follows: C137= family killed presumably by rick prime, he has no Beth, Diane or morty. Rick prime= presumably abandoned Beth and her mother after developing dimensional travel. Prime ricks family is dead, and his earth is ruined by croninbergs. Current beth: has the same life as prime Beth, only difference is her rick and morty died and is replaced by c137 and prime morty.

[@KingOfWinter]

@brandondavis3689... Ok yeah we are on the same page I just didn’t remember Beth saying her mom raised her but that sounds right. I love the backstory of this show and every now and then it’s fun to make theories but really it’s kind of ridiculous to have theories for this show because all the androids/Robots and the way everyone is always trying to trick everyone else literally anything could happen. The first episode could open up with Diane Ptime in space also tracking down Rick Prime and I would just go with it cause I’m sure there is some logical hoop they could jump through to make it happen lol. Have a merry Christmas!

[@JacobHJones]

The writers confirmed that Rick Prime killed C137s family

[@Rangerific117]

I don't know. The nerd in me wants to believe that he's the big bad and that this is going to be the end when c137 catches him. The logical part of me understands that they are starting to pump out Rick and Morty seasons like never before. It's becoming a cult classic similar to Family Guy, The Simpsons, people love this stuff. So much so that we have channels like "heavy spoilers" dedicated to helping us understand it better. So the logical side of me says that the character isn't actually the big bad because they need this thing to last for at least another six to seven seasons, you have to realize how much money games like Fortnite are paying for Rick. Just think about how much money they are making merchandise, Android games, I mean it's basically a I think the real reason the show was popular is because they are not afraid to push boundaries, speak the truth, say what's on their mind I think Americans are truly desperate for that right now. So I don't know maybe we get another seven seasons of him chasing Rick prime, or maybe Rick prime really isn't the big bad

[@inertiagaming9489]

At the moment the show is only contracted for 4 more seasons. To me that’s the perfect amount of time to wrap up stuff both with PR and evil morty, but we’ll just have to see!

[@davidmiles964]

That was Rick Prime in the tube BTW. If you listen to his dialog with Jerry, Jerry asks why RP didn't have any pants on. RP said he was messing with a guy or something like that. So when c-137 found RP's cloaked station. THAT WAS RP in the tube. Which to me.. prefect villian move for a mad scientist 😂😂😂😂

[@goldenyak629]

Something to keep in mind: we can't actually know if Rick-Prime _is_ the one who killed Diane and Beth. We don't see him send the bomb - he's working for an organization of Ricks, he could just be a Rick-finder, and passed our Rick's response on to higher-ups who wound up giving the kill order to different operatives. Rick-Prime would just be a cog in the machine, one that Rick already smashed and rebuilt. Who actually pulled the trigger? Would Rick-Prime even know who they are? Are they even still alive? Would killing Rick-Prime be enough for Rick, or would he be forever tormented by not being able to find the true killer?

Rick could have easily lived out he's life and RP wouldn't even care

[@gmork1090]

That's because as the Rickest Rick, Prime truly doesn't give a shit. He's also most likely using time shenanigans to show up in every dimension he's been in at once, since almost if not all Ricks hate everything time travel related.

Whatever the ending is, I hope they address everything and tie up loose ends as a good jester for fans that have been following the show for years.

[@justincardwell5475]

Why does everyone keep acting like Evil Morty isn't a thing anymore? He didn't die. He went through a portal that we've never seen before or since. I think the culmination and climax of "Rick and Morty" will include Prime Rick, Evil Morty, and even characters like Floop. But I also think they might somehow turn all those characters into an allegiance against an even greater evil. Who knows? The possibilities of a multiverese are endless.

[@blindmanai6957]

How does the Central Finite Curve factor into all this? Was the curve something that existed before the Citadel or is it something the Citadel of Ricks help to engineer?

[@LucianDevine]

The Citadel is something C137 helped the council engineer to evade the intergalactic government, and I believe is separate from the Central Finite Curve, but the predecessors of the council of Ricks, designed the Central Finite Curve to ensure that every universe, dimension, and timeline they go to has nobody smarter than Rick in it, likely so that there isn't anyone that can foil their plans or outimprovise them during an improvised adventure.

Fun fact guys super healing would in reality mean you age faster as it means your cells copy and divide more unless you get the second ability of perfect cell division

[@diogoantunes5473]

It depends. Aging is not understood, but commonly thought to be a multi-factor process. I think that some, like senescence cells, can be fixed without touching cell multiplication. I We are indeed capable of infinite, mostly healthy, replication. Otherwise, we would not be able to create offspring. Some living beings, whose names I don't remember, can regenerate when cut and also don't age. Indeed, dna changes and maybe other factors happen, the copies are not perfect. But that doesn't mean the problems can't be fixed. Especially with Rick and Morty tech. We already saw mass gene editing in Rick Prime's world.

One thing with the "Rick Comparison" scene its safe to assume, because there are infinite timelines, those Rick's are all other Rick's that had their Dianes and Beths killed and they all "returned" to the universe that "Rick Prime" came from.

[@rduse9197]

He tried to kill Rick and his family because Rick c137, wouldn't take the portal gun tech from Rick Prime. Clearly Rick Prime would have had some sort of control over any Rick that would have taken the tech, rather than come up with the idea naturally. Tis why C137 is a truly independent thinking Rick. He is dangerous to Rick Prime, because Prime doesn't have control over him and he is just as smart.

"Doofus Jerry" needs to be in the next few seasons hes a beast.

[@SirLancelot12]

more likely that the plots focused around making rick understand his actions have consequences on real people, like the clone episode where they make more and more clones and nobody knows they're not even real because they're so sentient. Rick kills other ricks without a second thought even though in those realities beth morty jerry and summer feel real feelings for loss even though Rick explains it as endless universes. Rick made it his life goal to seek after rick prime and only gave up because he didn't think it was possible but it's his life goal to find him, at the end of solar ricks S6 E1 jerry tries to kill prime rick and he says he's dabbled with the concept meaning jerrys are just an experiment like mortys from S5 E10 where the council of ricks mass produce mortys and summers too by altering time lines to make them meet. Rick Prime says he's trying to figure out why he's here and breaks the 4th wall no longer talking to jerry but instead the abyss/unknown universe, the ether I guess. You can see jerrys face turn from curiosity to horror when he makes this split second realization before rick prime shoots him again mid sentence, he doesn't even finish talking to jerry and telling him what he's saying he's talking to himself or something else

[@chrism2935]

Does this Rick Quote: “That’s what happens when you let people in, and they stop respecting you. They touch your shit, they screw things up, they kill your fucking family.” imply that Rick and Rick Prime were once friends? Hes listing things off that happened after he let someone in, did he get close with Rick Prime only for him to stab him in the back and kill our Rick's original Beth and Diane?

[@liloz2x661]

wouldn’t be possible, that’s our ricks first time seeing prime rick

[@corbeau-_-]

prime rick being future rick who just gives past rick a bit of purpose would be somewhat of an endgame move, I suppose ;)

[@samuelsprayberry6797]

Good vid!

[@themr.mysteriousshadow82]

I know this is going to sound dumb but I just realized that most Ricks have much more lighter skin tone just like detox Rick and when Rick was much younger but Prime work always had really dark skin. Like our Rick does now and I think some other Rick can do as well that indicates they are much more sweeter and kind to some extent. I always thought that was up one little detail that not many people point out and I just now realized it myself that Prime Rick or Alpha Rick was always evil no matter what

[@gmork1090]

Prime is also infused with immortality juice, which likely causes the discoloration.

[@D3ckstr]

I don’t understand how there are so many Mortys when Diane was supposedly killed in every universe? How does that work? Was she not killed in every universe? In which case why wouldn’t our rick try to find her from another universe? I don’t get it.

[@Somespideronline]

Rick Prime used the Omega Device to kill Diane in every universe, rendering her non existent in every possible timelines and universe

[@slanduralexander1278]

Rick Prime is Kang basically! Or C-137 is Kang... SOMEONE IS KANG!

[@JacobHJones]

C137 Rick could be Rick Prime from later in the timeline maybe after he sorts out the healing and immortality factor. He could grow older then de age himself and ultimately go back in time to his own past and kill Beth and Diane

[@JacobHJones]

Could explain why Rick has an aversion to time travel

[@afroshinobimikeemikee2208]

My theory is our Rick is Rick prime but in order for him to achieve what he's done he erased his own memory that it was himself that killed his family and has to solve the mystery only to find out it was himself

[@BrnButler]

It can’t be, we actually saw Rick Prime, he’s younger looking and was naked in a tube to taunt Rick c137

I want to see him, Rick Prime, interact with Morty, Morty Prime, his treu grandson. I think that thier interaction is going to be very interesting

[@darrenfreyauthor]

I've wondered if in some weird way our Rick's Beth never died but instead, she grew up and gave birth to evil morty. Wouldn't that be a twist, rick Prime is our Morty's grandfather and our Rick is evil Morty's grandfather.

[@RugbyLover86]

I’d love to see that!

[@darrenfreyauthor]

@@RugbyLover86 we still don't know which baby Morty that was in the picture hanging up in birdperson's house from season 2 either. I am assuming that is supposed to be evil morty. Since that birdperson is friends with our rick, and given the significance of the picture since Morty pointed it out, I think that is another big clue.

[@amitsuju]

The stutters by the narrator in between makes me theorize he is also a version of Rick hiding on our earth where Rick & Morty is an anime.

[@Bmywudt2]

My theory is that Rick prime is current Rick from a possible future. If Rick prime did not kill C-137 family, he wouldn't have been able to discover the portal travel. Rick prime had to kill C-137 family to make the dimensional travel process. From how the story is being written I wouldn't be surprise if C-137 gets frustrated from not finding Rick Prime, creates a non aging technology just to hunt rick prime down only to find out that he himself killed his family. Note: Rick prime said "Ricks don't pass on this." But at the same time, it was C-137 who invented and created the portal gun in the first place. How can Rick prime know that Ricks don't pass on this unless Rick prime was C-137 who later creates a non aging technology just to go find himself that he can't find. Another thing to consider is evil Morty and his obsession to escape the loop created by Prime Rick, C-137 Rick and the other Rick(s). When he broke the loop, he escaped it.

[@jaythelap6089]

When I saw that episode, I thought it was one of those by Rick Prime killed Berth to motivate Rick to build a portal gun, which also Rick prime had his daughter killed by another Rick to motivate him to building a portal gun. The cycle

[@surveyingfleaproductions]

Theory: maybe it's c137 throwing the bomb, intended for prime, on Dian and Beth, through a portal opened by prime during a battle against Rick. Maybe prime doesn't mind time travel? Idk just a thought.

[@Saint-su2se]

So Rick Prime deleted his own wife too?

[@KristoferPettersson]

Thought: We don't actually know if it was Rick Prime who threw the bomb. He might for all we know been trying to save Ricks from the fate that awaited them.

[@JacobHJones]

It’s been confirmed after episode 1 from S6 by the writers

[@KristoferPettersson]

@@JacobHJones Right, but it isn't really in the story yet though, is it?

[@JacobHJones]

@@KristoferPettersson don’t think they have outright stated it for a fact in the story but it’s implied. That coupled with the writers confirming it probably means they’ll never come out and say it since there would be no need
