[@adius256]

Jack would be a better match for Rick than a lot of people, since he fights crazy robots and machines all the time. Also Rick's technology is very powerful, but he's also very inconsistent in combat performance

[@alexschorr9551]

@@demi-femme4821While the sword can cut through anything, Jack cannot put infinite power behind it since he’s just a human. Thus Rick could easily make a robot that’s too tough for Jack to cut through (just like the ultra bots). Jacks also just a human and vulnerable to mind control, toxic gas, a nuke, etc. it really depends on what kind of mood Rick is in but no-holds barred Rick mops the floor with Jack if he goes for a cheap trick he can’t defend against.

"Thomas! Gerald! Why are we fighting each other!?" That one has to take it. Not just for the "full government name" usage, but also just the fact that he's like "You're a cat and mouse, I have no beef with you!", but can also be interpreted as confusion over the fact that it's technically a three-battle because of how they fight. Calling out Rick for being an aloof, nihilistic jerk is also pretty great.
