Froy Danger they are apperentaly the creatures from Season Ones episode Rick Potion No. 9. Him killing that thing means that he will never go to the dimension he was in Season 1. Kinda sad...
The creature was newly born and innocent. It was crying, needing someone to take care if it. Rick killed it bc it demonstrated just how quickly he can corrupt and destroy the most precious things. And I felt this on such a personal level and it hurt
That moment when you realize Rick didnt fall because he was crying, but that he passed out from his alcoholism. Ironic that something that would normally slowly be killing him if he hadnt found a way to fix it saved him from suicide
According to the DVD commentary, the potion rick drank before he tried to kill himself is meant to synchronise the ricks in every timeline. So basically, he didnt try to just kill himself.. he tried to kill every single version of himself, every single C-137 Rick that has ever existed. Very dark and emotional scene
When someone wants to be alone they'll say I'll be back later, or I'm leaving etc. But if they tell you where they'll be its a cry for help or attention.
Daemonic One Heh I just did...its a fair comparison though. Dark thematic visuals set to sad music and a fade-out. Except Futurama was still a thousand times sadder, I'm pretty sure that scene will hold an undefeatable record as the biggest emotional nut-punch to viewers in the history of television shows.
***** I agree. If it weren't for the completely different tone I'd also throw in Leela's Homeworld, but it just doesn't have the same raw impact. Also, FYI, I think it's an extremely apt comparison, and one I made myself.
I may be over analyzing, but I think that it is a recurring concept that C137 Rick is the only Rick that feels emotional pain, and that's what makes him "the Rickiest Rick of all". There's a bunch of moments (in addition to this scene) where you see that he is the only Rick that lets himself be emotionally vulnerable: when the evil Rick whose Morty is evil Morty plays his memories of Morty being born, prompting C137 to cry, only to be mocked by evil Rick because Rick's aren't supposed to feel anything; when he sacrifices himself to save Morty in the episode when time splits up; the death stare he gives King Jelly Bean after seeing Morty suffer; when he turns himself in for his family's sake; etc. Likewise, it is C137 Rick that we sympathize most with, and it is he who always ends up victor. As C137 Morty eloquently says, "if you think my Rick's dead, he's Alive; and if you think he's safe, he's coming for you". From what we've seen, this always happens despite other Ricks getting fucked over all the time. If you take the analysis as: feeling is the one thing that makes C137 Rick different from the rest; then there is a very subtle but kind of beautiful message underneath the fuckery in the show. You may be able to outwit anyone who is not as intelligent as you, but how do you beat people who are just as intelligent, if not more, than you (the other Ricks)? Well, the one who lets himself be emotionally vulnerable seems to be, the show suggests, the one who is better equipped.
What's even sadder is the fact that he passed out before he was able to kill himself... Being in the mentality that you died and drug induced seems like something insane to experience... A conscious death only to be awoken the next day and still be alive
+JonathanJonnyJones There was no game of chance, his machine clearly works every time there is the crystal resource. It's not russian roullette, it was just an apathetic or failed attempt at regular ol' suicide.
+Alexander Walsh If you want something further fucked up it's that no one checked up on Rick after all that. If he succeeded it would have been days before anyone realized.
+SamuraiMorshu And according to what you could see afterwards is that it was a day after. Of course, Jerry may have thought he fell asleep after a hard project.
He was trying to kill himself; basically he played Russian roulette he knew the drink would make him pass out so if he passed out before the lasers he'd keep leaving if not his suffering would be over. The point of this is to show how really Ricks problems are on a true monumental scale. At the end of S1 you think everything will be okay bc Rick now has Morty and to some extent summer, however this is episode is quick to remind that they really have no significant impact. Everyone is oblivious to his suffering so much so that he was literally steps away from them about to commit suicide. The end part with jerry using he weed walker serves two purposes; 1) comedic relief: after such a dark scene let the viewers get a quick chuckle and 2) to emphasize Jerry obliviousness to his father in law who is passed out literally right behind him and is a symbol that his whole family seems to be oblivious to ricks suffering. Hope that helped :)
Also last thing before I forget lol before Rick passes out you can see how he actually TRIES HARD to stay awake again emphasizing that in some cases he would rather be dead but isn't willing to pull the trigger himself so to speak he kinda leaves it to chance or in this case science; the exact time the beams will go off versus the quickness of the potion to knock him out
TheGamingSeal123 For those watching, from the moment he drinks the beaker you can see his eyes droop lower and lower. Happens about 3-4 times, the last being when he opens them again as small slits just before he drops. Definitely fighting it.
TheMerk52 I agree with everything you're saying, except the part that Rick knows the drink will knock him out. I feel he just took it as a mind altering stimulant like he would strong alcohol. Super mind numbing, helping him get through the suicide attempt.
I cried when I heard this song, recently my 7yr marriage ended. Listening to this brings life back to me, like fire burning in my chest to keep going everyday. When life closes the door at you, don't be afraid to find the key to your certainty.
Dear @Winni Da Pooh, I hope you’re doing better now. I’m sorry for what you went through. I remember watching this episodes ending so many times. It really hit me at a very deep level. I just felt tired of being me.
This scene breaks anybody because it’s shows the number 1 thief still feels the emotions that we all do and can give up like everyone else even though he always says he doesn’t care or always seems fine
The creature is frozen at first, rick pours the liquid on it to unfreeze it. After this he takes a sip in a futile attempt to try to unfreeze his cold bitter heart. This doesn't work and rick looks down at the creature. He realizes existence is suffering and identifies with the creature, he chooses to takes pity on the creature, consoles it and put it out of its misery. This scene is probably the deepest and most intense scene I have ever seen in a animated comedy.
Yeah actually Justin Roiland confirmed the fluid was designed to synchronise every single Rick across the multiverse so they’d all die at the same time when the device carbonised his head. He passed out a second before it would have killed every single Rick ever.
Rick isn't a nihilist. He's an absurdist. They both see life as meaningless but absurdism is just the belief that life exists completely by accident in a chaotic universe whereas nihilism rejects religious and moral principles on the belief that they are inherently meaningless. I'm a cosmicist. I believe that it's perfectly possible that entities beyond my mind's ability to comprehend exist but it's also possible that they don't.
yes but he mocks religion, not the idea of morality. He still acts in a pretty moral way, he just makes sure no one messes with him. Like the Zigerion Scammers
+Shiggy Diggy from what i've seen. he believes in a form of god. he just considers himself equal, or superior. like the first episode of this season he ask god and jesus to let him live then promptly tells them to "suck it" after he succeeds in getting his collar back.
A friend of mine has the idea that the creature Rick pulled out and unfroze and then killed was his original Morty that he had frozen in hopes of saving later. That when Rick had come back into his daughters life he had just abandoned another world after ruining it and had preserved his original Morty in hopes of saving him.
Never thought animation could represent suicidal depression so realistically. I say this as someone who's survived an attempt too, this actually presents suicide more realistically than any other film or TV series or youtube thing I've ever seen, aside from the song of course. I'm always going to say this but my advice is to think about the ones you love; Think about how they'll feel if you took your life. Yes, life can become horrible, like a never-ending cacophony of shit and tragedy but it's never a feeling you'd want anyone else to experience, especially not someone you've ever loved, but they will feel that if you commit suicide. Life can get better, it can but it can also get worse, but for people who've considered taking their lives: worse isn't really worth focusing on. Just stay until you have no more reasons to stay. I didn't think about these things until after I attempted, almost successfully: So I want anyone considering death to think about reasons too.
What if the only reason I wanted to kill myself is for revenge? Because it isn’t life that’s shit. It’s the fact that everyone takes me for granted and is never there for me when I need them that makes me want to do whatever is necessary to hurt them right back. I want them to cry and lose sleep at night. I want to care. I want someone to realize I still exist. I want revenge, and this is the best way.
@@lukemorgestern1473 u exist, stay strong, both of u. Brought tears to my eyes reading these 2 post, i never had any issues with suicidal thoughts but i guess im cryin now because i feel u guys pain & wish i could tell u everything will b ok, sometimes people need to hear that from strangers who really mean it
Ahem depression starts when the person thinks no one loves him or doesn't matter in this world. I dont think, thinking about the ones you love would work because you think no one loves you. Trying to say that you love them but do they love you? You'd feel as if a wind just passed them if you died. The only way to stop that if they actually show affection to the depressed person. So I doubt that you thought about that alone.
Sans Gaster yeah but depression doesn’t only stem from thinking no one loves you, depression can literally be triggered by anything depending on the person
If you lose a Unity "the Unity" all of us could go that deep. And that episode... my weakness is the long red haired women... so you can imagine how mad I was at the end :/
I think he wasn't trying to kill himself, or not trying to, I think he was just taking his chances. Just so he could feel... something. That liquid which made something made of rock, essentially dead, or not alive in the first place, alive, but in excruciating pain, and then he killed it, to put it out of its misery. And then he drank the liquid. Like it would make him feel alive. And then, just to feel something, anything, even fear, even regret, even pain, he casually put himself into an "I die, or I don't" situation. And it just depends on if I fall quick enough or not. But I'm not going to try to either way, I'm just going to let it happen naturally.
the yellow chemical he drinks syncs all ricks across all dimensions. if rick kills himself after drinking the potion, he kills all ricks across all universes/dimensions. Dan harmon explained this on director's comment
Rick isnt just depressed about Unity he's depressed what Unity made him realize. His knowledge and power is a curse, knowing everything is worse than a normal world. What is, is the fact that he cant recognize the difference between normal and strange. His emotions and thoughts have become unable to recognize because of his perfect life. He had reached a state where you cant go down or up he can either stay or kill himself. Through countless teleporting, shoving knowledge into his brain, and getting constantly drunk Ricks brain just isn't able to function.
A commenter here said its a cronenberg monster baby from the prime dimension that Rick ruined whilst making a love potion for morty Apparently he had it there to see if he can find a cure and fix his mistakes, but he stopped caring about that after the unity incident since he accepted he’s bad and won’t change
Every damn time man... The look on his face as he picks It up and claps it before desintegrating it, can't tell you why to save my life, but it resonates with every fiber in my body
Well the whole series from the beginning has always been a pretty dark comedy i mean just watch the opening to the show morty get left to die horribly by rick at lest twice tho i will admit this episode ending tho great was a bit extra grim...
moonseed26 They left the "real" version of Beth, Jerry, and Summer on a completely devastated version of earth and escaped to an Earth that survived their missteps, but in which they died in shortly after. Such a brilliant, and messed up way to illustrate the potential for infinite universes. And they come back to it later in the series when Summer is feeling like her parents would have been better off without her, and that "she never should have been here". Rick tells her that basically nothing is supposed to be anywhere. And that he buried he and Rick's bodies in the back yard. This show is becoming one of my all time favorite pieces of media ever.
Jeremy Banchiere You mean the "C-137" Beth, Jerry, and Summer. Although that's an assumption too - we know RICK is from C-137, but we've never seen whether or not C-137 is the universe we see episodes of or not.
Daemonic One Fair enough, but from Morty's perspective, his parents and sister are left stranded on a decimated world. It's kind of unfair to say "well they could already be from another universe" since they could retcon anything they wanted with this method. Which is a lot of fun for the show, but meaningless from our perspective. I'll take things at face value until proven otherwise since that is how the show would play with the dynamic anyway.
+Daemonic One it is not c-137 because that timeline earth c-137 is taken over by slug monsters but rick and morty are from c-137 and not liveing in c-137 anymore
This is how I discovered "Chaos". Awesome song and band, perfectly overlaid on to such a sad and human instance for Rick. Perfect example of no dialogue, just the music and scene saying everything that needs to be said. The concerned states from Rick's family after he made his "...funny fun but who needs it?" statement really highlighted the fact they all realized how effected Rick truly was. Thought it was a perfect 20-30 seconds of television, animated, or no.
I think Rick just thought that being the smartest being ever is hard, he lost the will to learn which is what drove him to know everything he does and thought that if there is nothing more for him to learn then his only meaning and target is reached hence life is over. .
So as Justin Roiland said rick synced himself with all other Ricks from all dimensions with that yellow juice but think about this he also poured it on the cronnenburg monster which I assume he got from the old dimension he lived in so if I'm correct he just killed every living being from earth dimension c-137 with that syncing potion assuming all the monsters in that dimension has the same DNA as the little monster rick killed what do you people think?
The most poignant thing about this episode's ending is how life won't let him kill himself. I went through something similar after I absolutely destroyed everything in my life that I loved. I tried suicide a few times by od but vomited up the pills each time. I put a gun to my head and pulled the trigger three times but all I heard was, "click click click." Life wouldn't let me take the easy way out. I had to live with the pain and with knowing there was no escape from it. So I empathize with Rick.
For me the saddest part of this scene hits at the end where night becomes day and Jerry is outside mowing the lawn, it’s basically showing that even though you’re depressed beyond belief and you feel like nothing will be right ever again the world still keeps moving around you
As someone who has tried to kill themself this scene hits too hard. I am much better off now and so glad I failed but nothing will ever make me forget that day I tried.
Yeah, its darker, but this one is a sight into Rick and how he really feels most of the time. Its less so supposed to be dark and more so supposed to be just... sad.
kraktacaptor Yeah, and that scene with Morty switching lives was more comedic as well - it was the show's first scene like that, and the contrast/extremity of it just made it unexpectedly funny in an incredibly dark sort of way. This scene though, was something altogether different. Completely humourless; felt like the show blossomed into its adolescent phase and really experimented with what it could be. Pure sadness, I absolutely loved it.
Hromovlad1 the thing is, that's Morty. Morty feels things. Laughing at Morty feeling things is half the comedy of the show. Rick, though? Ricks above it all. Rick's untouchable. To me, Rick breaking down hits a lot harder than Morty, because it's unexpected.
***** I just happened to feel less sorry for Rick. Also, before episode 6 the show hadn't set such a dark tone. Before this ending we already knew that Rick was in great pain.
As someone who used to be suicidally depressed, this is often how it is. If you make it through, you move on, usually with no one around, because you have spent so long pushing people away. This is the brilliance of this show.
He didn' t want to kill himself because his girlfriend broke up with him... He wanted to kill himself because UNITY made him remember his biggest problem: That he is alone. He has a family, but they don't really know his problems. He hates himself, because he knows that he cant change, he knows that he is a Bad person, he has to live knowing terrible secrets of the universe . And nobody understund him.
+Rick Sanchez Im Spanish, Is hard to me to Speak in English. Also I think that the little frozen alien was part of Unity, because Rick always says that "We all die alone". So he wanted to die with Unity (or at least, part of her)... But he couldnt, what makes this even more sad.
CodeguruX It's not a "FEEELZ" reaction. It's just a very well-directed scene that handles this subject matter really well. It's also extremely strong because it's a pretty heavy scene that is immediately following an entire scene with lot of levity. It's a pretty typical pattern for R&M to have things be absurd and slapsticky until the final 2 minutes, but they do it very well.
Kujakuseki01 It's not a subject matter. He obviously felt shitty and wasn't going to kill himself. It was a joke drama moment. This was not about suicide, this was about him and his past like everything else is because it's a complete mystery as of yet. This is not something with huge meaning at all, it's a scene to bring more depth to his character displaying an emotion that people can relate to. But, most people are focusing on the boohoo suicide crap, which is missing the point entirely. Which is most definitely FEEELZ bullshit rationalization from kids who don't know how to process emotion yet.
Agasa Hiroshi The truth unfiltered often seems that way. Grow a fucking skin and learn to accept reality as it is. Rick does, with a little help from what I can only assume is a mixed drink consisting of 200 proof everclear and mega seed extract.
What many people don't quite seem to understand is that this isn't just about Unity. Unity breaking up with him did make him sad but it was also a reminder to him. A reminder that he can never be happy. Because no matter what he tries, his intelligence or his personality will always come inbetween and fuck everything up for him. He can numb himself for a few hours but he can never be truly happy. He is doomed to restlessly travel the universe until he dies, looking for something he know he can never achieve. And he just can't do it anymore.
Symbolic how his flask was finally empty. His intelligence and personality fucked up his relationship with unity, and his grandchildren, Breaking up with one person who was barely there wouldn't be enough to compel someone to commit suicide unless that person was their life, and I mean; Their entire reason for existence and all they cared about was invested in this one person. Just a feeling of hopelessness and worthlessness left behind with those notes, along with some of the other shit Rick has witnessed/done: He probably realised that numbing himself also didn't change anything. I honestly thought he did die; I didn't get a good look; I was assuming that because of his head being attached to a larger body; it would have just disintegrated the inside brain, effectively killing him, not to mention the way he passed out. First time I watched this the visual froze while the audio continued from when he was talking to Summer; So I just heard a music video; probably for the best am I right? I can also joke about it because I tried to commit suicide when I was five, really late at night with a kitchen knife, similar deal, it was 2AM, I sliced it halfway into a defrosting muffin just to be sure it wouldn't drop anywhere and I fell asleep on the way back to my bedroom. Similar if you just think of the defrosting muffin as the little defrosting Cronenberg chicken baby, kitchen as garage, knife as laser vice and alien serum and me as depressed Rick, Huge fan of the show, and this just caught me right in the heart because I've tried it. I had a revelation the next morning that no matter how shit my life gets, even to the point of not having any reason worth existing because all you do is bring pain and misery to yourself and others; Would they really feel better if you died? I honestly expected Jerry on the lawnmower to run inside shouting for Beth with tears running down his eyes, despite the fact they hate each other. My dad used abuse me both physically and verbally, not going into what he did; but I would still be a little bit upset if he had died, because; it just hits you anyway. Killing yourself doesn't release the pain, it just carries it on to everyone else. So I stay hopeful because for lack of a better option; I frankly don't have a choice, and being hopeful and optimistic in the shittest of situations is a hell of a lot more useful than the realists would have you believe; I'm honestly patient enough to watch hell freeze over if I ever end up there, and if I loose my eyes, I'll just imagine it, if I loose my imagination; I'll be really upset, but I'll be hopeful that it comes back, because it's better than mourning it forever or killing yourself over it. That's why I hate these little emo pricks who think it's cool to threaten suicide; or these Goth people who are considering being miserable and depressed as the way to live; It's stupid and pointless, they judge me as if I've never witnessed shit they have, when I have seen that and more; I just feel like slapping them and saying 'DON'T YOU TALK SHIT TO ME ABOUT SUICIDE!! I've been there and back, but you're still following the directions siri left you'. And they have to make their suicide a big deal like it's everyone else's problem. Suicide isn't cool, it's selfish, and a poor way to settle an issue; and while that may seem extremely strong and rash just to utter that: if it's bringing you happiness while taking it away from others: it's selfishness. I'm only cynical about other people, not all of them though. Because they're dickheads. I know it can be hard to change the tide of thought, but your thoughts belong to you, even if you have urges or voices or see things other people don't; Whatever consciousness/sentience you have is enough to persevere. I prefer it to wallowing in puddles of misery or your own blood; even if people think you're too clean and confident to see things from their level, seeing as they think you're Glenda the good witch floating around in a soap bubble. I guess I try to numb myself by getting high on life, kind of Ironic I guess. If that doesn't work, well, that's the point; I don't know yet, hasn't been a problem for the past 12-13 odd years. It just comes down to the fact that deliberately feeling bad won't make a bad situation any better, unless you're surrendering, you don't care any more and you've given up in a non-suicidal way; I've never tried that but I've heard it's good. it's just not something at the top of my priority list at the moment though. Point being, Unity didn't cause enough never-ending pain for Rick to want to commit suicide, it's nor like Beth's it's daughter, but Rick's long line of muck-ups and the way Unity points this out were enough to make him attempt it. Most people admit to thinking it, but attempting it is pretty close to succeeding, sleight of hand depending on if fate's scissors snip the thread. I'm personally glad I didn't succeed because life as a whole, while not entirely perfect yet, is so much better than what it used to be, and I pity those who've never had the insight to truly appreciate what they have, especially when those bastards have a flatscreen TV as long as a train boxcar, Or have been Overseas. I Honestly felt like I was to happiness what Ebenezer Scrooge was to charity after he woke on Christmas morning, on the morning I woke up after my biggest and happiest failure. My deepest condolences to anyone who was a victim of a friend or family member's suicide or suicide attempt, I've known some people whose parents or best friends have committed suicide; and having seen this happen to them was horrible, In my opinion, having been a witness to that is just as bad, if not worse than having the urge to commit suicide. It is because of this same reason that as long as there are people who love me in this world and the will or reason to carry on; I'll never commit suicide. It's probably one of the hardest things anyone attempting suicide could promise, but if you care about the loved ones you have, you'd think how they'd feel if you were gone, trust me; I used to think they'd be better off and so much happier without me, part of me still thinks that; but any death has impact, because the sudden void someone leaves behind cannot be mended, it produces grief, They also probably think a lot differently to how you think they do, and I know because my brother has said to someone else that he wishes I was dead when I was in the doorway, and I know he doesn't mean it, he forgot about saying it the next day, plus I played dead once on the wanker and he began to get upset. Look, there are a lot of things I want to forget, My brother saying he wished I was dead was actually one of nicer ones, my advice would be to try anything and everything else before attempting suicide, because it's not the best solution, and while I believe some people don't have any other choice and would be better off dead; It isn't going to make anyone else feel better, if there are people you care about, even if it seems they don't care about you: they will still be affected, and never in a good way, it can even compel them to consider suicide. if you care enough about those people in your life: You'll continue being a part of theirs. Who knows? every problem has a solution, suicide is giving up on both.
+ArmoredChocobo Come to think of it... he almost looks a little like Peter Capaldi too... even the eyebrows are pretty identical as far as a cartoon goes.
I've read somewhere that they put jerry in that last shot with his back to rick because they wanted to symbolise how the family often doesn't take notice of suicidal behaviour and depression. They don't check on rick for hours and didnt waste a single thought on how weird he was behaving before he retreated into the garage
Apparently when they were writing this episode, Harmon had always wanted it to end this way, the idea they originally had was; Rick would make a black hole that would suck him in but then decide at the last minute not to go through with it. I honestly think this was better, it showed he genuinely was going to kill himself but coincidentally passes out at the last second. Heavy stuff, which is why I love this show. It's not afraid to get dark while still being hilarious all at once. Best show ever.
+ElectricToadProductions I always thought that he just couldn't come to kill himself so he put his head down at the last second, instead of passing out
When I first saw this scene, I thought that it was displaying a huge cruelty on Rick's part. To kill that creature just to test out his machine. But then I thought about it. The creature looks horribly unhappy, and screams when it's thawed out. Rick cradles and pets it before putting it in the machine. I think he was mercifully killing it. Maybe he had it stored for some future experiment, but opted instead to put it out of its misery. Makes this scene a lot better for me. Great song, too.
The creature represents him; in pain all the time, brought into the world from a meaningless coincidence; something that he feels shouldn't be. That's why he cradles it.
The Creature is a chronenburg, keeping one alive in search for a cure. This scene represents Ricks biggest failures destroying his reality and not being compatible with anyone else leaving him hopelessly alone with no equal. Destroying the chronenburg basically says he's given up on it and his original reality is forever doomed.
+Gordon Smith didn't think about that, nice observation! to me it felt like a "cleaning up" gesture that some people do before suicide. make sure his affairs were in order, in a way.
here is a Theory, but what if that thing was like a child clone from both Unity where they both took DNA and made a clone, but since Unity is a hive mind it didn't really work and Rick kept it hoping to one day make somewhat normal.
This show has such a deeper meaning to it. Remember the episode Rick Potion #9 where everyone turned into cronenbergs? Rick left that dimension behind and went into a new dimension where him and morty died. Now also remember the episode where he trys to kill himself and pours liquid all over that thing, kills it and then drinks the liquid he used? that thing was a cronenberg and rick was trying to find a cure so he could go back to his original dimension to cure everything. But because of his depression he thought it was pointless and killed it. Now the liquid was to sync all of the cronenbergs. So basically if one died then they all died. So rick drunk it hoping to kill himself and all the other ricks in the universe.
Right before he leave to the garage there are pictures in the table and u can see snowflake with the other pictures I wonder if Rick keep pictures of them from that dimension? Cuz we never see snowflake in this universe
I thought so too but it takes time to get good n when it does its one of the best TV shows that portrays depression. I highly recommend bojack it's not like family guy or the Simpsons
Rick has to have experienced some pretty dark shit before we see him in the pilot. Maybe originally he was full of life and love of the Universe and after all the terrible things he's been through is how we get the Rick we have? Because who knows how many times he's had to abandon a timeline? And I can imagine the first timeline he had to abandon probably really fucked him up? And maybe in that first timeline his Wife was still around/alive and Rick having to abandon her really fucked to the point that he couldn't love the Wife in his 2nd timeline because it wasn't really his wife? Just a lot of deep stuff you can think about with this show.
Remember the pictures of him on Bird Person's walls?? He was definitely happy and more cheerful before.. Crazy shits happened to him.. Rick can handle anything, except for being with himself and the thoughts, emotions and secrets he has locked inside..
+Alexandria Mars plus that one memory in the episode with the council of ricks where we see a flashback of rick holding a baby morty.. what if his original universe was much better, with him being around to see his grandson grow, and he had to leave it all for another universe, and another, and another.... poor rick, man... :(
+cory hawks remember the episode when he was having flash backs when he saw morty as a kid but as you can tell it would be impossible because Rick was missing for 20 years and Morty is only 14 so he must have once lived in another dimension where he was with his family and saw Morty young but something must have happened to his first Morty (possibly evil morty ) and Rick couldnt handle it so he left and entered a demension in which he wasnt there so played along to that demension , also u know how he doesnt like to get too close to Morty ? possibly because it isnt his Morty and he doesnt feel the same ? this is just my personal thoughts , but one thing im am 100% sure of is the Jerry is a fucking asshole
@@malchir4036 sadly you're right. This isn't about unity after all. But make a cliche quote "the biggest heart loves the most" quote out of it and people will like the s out of it
+Parabellum agreed. family guy isn't even a show now. Macfarlane cares little for his characters and when he develops them, it is very lazy and poorly written. He rather abuse them for cheap laughs. I can't stand it TBH
+Kyle Moore Family guy tries to have "deep" or "sad" moments but they come off as awkwardly forced and cringe inducing. This show has the writing and prowess to to have some real dark and effective stuff.
***** And plus in the mid seasons of family guy all the deep moments were ruined by a usually really nasty joke. So now when they try to be serious i just dont buy it, cause im always thinking 'okay wheres the pie, and when are they gunna throw it'
The drink turned to life the petrified creature. I guess he tried to fix his stone unfeeling heart. The creature's an ugly and suffering little thing too, and before he kills it, Rick hugs it and feels sorry for it. He empathizes with the ugly suffering thing, and releases it from it's suffering. At least that's the way I see it.
Rick usually numbs his pain with alcohol and drugs. By freezing this creature suffering from some unknown diformity, Rick is nearly relaying the pain until he can find a cure or in his case happiness. Rick decides to give up and finally put this creature out of its misery, then deciding to put himself out of this prolonged suffering himself.
+PaleBlueDot the chemical was meant sync up all Rick's in different timelines and dementions or something. if he didn't fail, all ricks would be dead.i think he killed off all cronburg's as well.
It's so sad how rick has a whole machine already half set up for the purpose of killing himself, because he knows one day he'll want to use it. And all the materials too, he knows exactly where they are as if he set them aside specifically for a certain time
It’s not real. It’s a tv show. Whatever he needs is ready for him to further the plot: see pickle rick. He just happened to have all the materials to turn a pickle into a killing machine? Yeah. It’s a cartoon.
This reminds of a Craig Ferguson Monologue about his alcoholism in Scotland. He said one day he woke up in a room above the pub covered in his own piss and decided right then and there he would go kill himself. He wanted to jump of some famous bridge but when he was about to leave the pub the bartender offered him a drink and he forgot about his suicide attempt.
