Mort-Tina: Why I Rooted for Morty and Planetina (Rick and Morty Video Essay) 

Y’know another difference between Captain Planet and planetina? Planetina only had 4 elements. She was missing the 5th one: heart. Maybe that’s why she went totally off the deep end, she was missing the empathy and last element to make her complete

Planetina screaming “Can’t you hear the earth screaming?!” I think she could hear/feel the earth dying the whole time. Maybe just very little at first until she was free. Then it got stronger and stronger till she boils over

I feel like morty just fell for a girl that was too good to be true. He was so caught up in the moment he didn’t question anything or look any deeper, when in reality this girl has been really sheltered and has no real grasp on how the world works her only thoughts have ever been “save the planet” it was never about humans really.

Captain Planet doesn't exist when he isn't summoned. He only exists when the powers combined. I assume Planetina goes nuts because she's never existed for longer than a day at a time.

Honestly, instead of Planetina going insane I would prefer if they conected her plot with Summer's and Ricks subplot . I mean imagine how f up it would be if Planetina, someone who is dedicated in preserving a single planet, learned that in such a small amount of time 2 entire planets and whatever life they once housed, were destroyed like they were nothing without anyone knowing or carrying about it and that made her feel like her entire existence amounts to nothing in the grand scheme of things. This seems like a much more interesting development than just "oh yeah Morties newest GF is insane"

The writing for these two really sold the tragedy, but it can’t be understated how much Justin Rolland and Alison Brie’s performances also made you feel all of the highs and lows with them:

The thing with Morty being upset about Planetina going crazy is I see it being less about the actual act but what it signifies. I think Morty saw Planetina as symbol of that innocent, youthful optimism that he used to have before his adventures with Rick, and being with her let him enjoy that again. The heartbreak wasn't from seeing her snapping, but from seeing cold, harsh reality taking what he loved and grinding it beneath its boot like a bug.

Captain planet had 5 teens. 4 elements and heart. People always forget heart.

I personally adopt the Meseek's theory: Her temporal existence connected her to Earth. In small doses, like to fight the bad guy of the week, she would feel the pain of the planet and assume it was because of the villain, go back home, and that was that. The longer she maintained a corporeal form, more longer and more powerful that connection was. It went from "The planet is in trouble!" to "The planet is hurting!" to "The planet is screaming it's death-knell, how can you not hear it?!" She was feeling the pain of the planet until it consumed her. She increased in violence and erratic behavior as she sought more and more desperate ways to stop the pain. But she can't. Because existence is pain.

Her insanity is kinda hinted if you know enough about captain planet cause captain planet has a 5th element called heart

Rest and ricklaxation Morty: you only want someone to love you so much you don't have to love them back Jessica: how can you say that Morty: because I'm not sick

I think this episode makes an ok argument as to why its a bad idea to get into a relationship with someone if you aren't actually into anything the other person is passionate about at the very least.

Captain Planet had one more ring though. Heart. Planetina didnt. Without heart, she is more concerned with the earth than saving the earth for the people.

I have a theory its mortys fault, not in the way like " oh he should except her for who she is". Its the rings mortys was the last person to have them so he might have magic connection with her. The previous kids were chosen to be well balanced, but Morty being just one and very volatile made this happen

The problem with characters like Captain Planet and Planetina, they preach "shallow ecology". They don't teach people to look for the root cause of these terrible things, they teach people to simply look at all these destructive things like coal mining as isolated problems, when in truth they're symptoms of a much deeper rot. This is the principle of "deep ecology", the primary framework that should be in people's minds is the ecological framework because that is what allows for all other frameworks, and the way to solve the problem is to target the root cause, not the symptoms. The mass murder of those miners is an exaggeration of the reaction prompted by these "shallow ecologists", in reality the mining operations simply foot the blame for what's going on, but the truth is that they are press-ganged into that line of work by highly corrupt governmental and corporate figures, utilising their favourite tools, the economy and the education system. The truth is that those are the people we need to stop. Shutting down the mining operations would only serve to decrease the number of jobs available, in a system that thrives on poverty and reliance, but if you follow the money trail to where it ends, you find huge multinational corporations and the governments that "rely on their generous donations."

Just my opinion but I really like how they handled her "insanity" reveal. A very particular set of circumstances triggers her, and it only happens after her kids stop managing her and she finally gets to pick her own tasks and events. The kids wanted to make money with her so they did not give her missions based on how much good she could do for the world but how much good publicity they would get out of it. Avoiding her triggers is profitable for Planetina's brand. And knowing her for so long they probably know perfectly well how to avoid her triggers and make her look like a perfect cinnamon roll. Morty falls in love with her public image and Planetina herself doesn't know how far she is willing to go for the planet because how would she when she isn't put in situations that could ruin her image by making her chose between the planet and the people on it. With the kids gone she can finally decide for herself how to save the world, starting out with what is familiar (explaining why she didn't immediately go insane as soon as her kids didn't control her anymore) and slowly getting an understanding of what id modt effective and what she needs to do, eventually picking tasks she wants to tackle but probably wasn't ever allowed to, culminating in the coal miner incident. What I find so interesting is that ironically the kids who acted as her shackles were not so much holding her back as they were protecting the world from her (even though they were motivated by greed rather than a good heart), and neither Morty nor Planetina knew the full situation, hence couldn't predict it would come to this if she was freed. Also, Morty presented himself as a strong environmentalist to get with her, never giving her the impression he wasn't down with saving the planet at any cost. He ran into a forest fire to rescue small woodland creatures at what would seem like great personal risk to Planetina, not because he really cares about her interests but to appeal to her, still that probably sent a very clear message about his priorities to Planetina. Ultimately they both fell in love with persona rather than person and once the mask slipped they couldn't see each other the same way anymore. And I love that there was nor real foreshadowing of her mental state and actual priorities, because irl that isn't always the case either. Sometimes it takes time and coincidence for you to figure out what your partner is capable of, and once you've seen that side of them there is no going back.

I think they were going for a whole Mother Nature allegory with Planetina. Like she’s sweet and caring, but can also be violent and unforgiving at the drop of a hat. I don’t think it *works*, but I can see that being the case.

"I can't eat a burger without ketchup" Can definitely relate. Normally when fries go cold, there's no saving them. But I find having some spare sauce on hand helps. Great video, btw. Major win for summer for stopping an impending Rick-isode.

Well, technically, there was a little bit of precedent for Planetina being crazy, when she showed no empathy for the death of her kids. Anyway, her outburst just makes sense to me, because of her motivations. Also, She stated her kids didn't let her watch the news! So she definitely didn't knew how bad things were!

She totally reincarnated into Dianne! Didn’t even notice that they were the same actress until you brought it up.

I could see their relationship blossom into something beautiful and healthy. But, then Planetina went on a dark path. I know morty killed those guys brutally, but that was only to save the woman he loved from being used for soulless profit. She went too far and wanted to wipe out the humans who weren’t even bad, the miners were just doing their job. I hope that she learns that there’s a better way to go about saving the planet and reconnect with Morty.

Hard to blame Morty for seeking a partner so strongly; he has no healthy relationships. Rick is abusive/dismissive, Beth seems mostly disinterested, in the pilot Jerry says says there is something wrong with him and Summer is a typical older sibling. He has no friends. His crush became a time god and put him in the friendzone.

To be fair - I think an argument for Planetina would be that she being a person created by these rings only comming into existence when summoned in a way limits her experience and technically cuts down on how old she is if you account for all the days she isn’t brought into the world via Magic or whatnot. So I think her nature of existence as well as her limited life knowledge due to lack of agency in her life would put her just slightly above Morty in terms of at least mental age/development. And only when she has the rings herself to stay in the world having her own agency now will she properly age and grow on par with what we know in terms of human adjacent development - for better or for worse. So if anything her developing beyond her “kids” keeping her stunted and under their control is what breaks their relationship to me. That as in her instant sharp left turn into eco-terrorism.

I didn't find the switch to be that surprising. She was sheltered, controlled, made to act so sweet and perfect. Once the reality of the world got a hold of her, she immediately reflected the hate and destruction of it. If she had slowly been introduced to reality, it would have been more of a natural transition. That abrupt sink or swim situation brings the "survivor" or primal reaction out of anyone

Morty has had a lot of girlfriends or love interests. But I think Planetina was the best fit for him. Just wish she didn't go nuts.

I grew up loving Captain Planet as a kid, sure the show was a subtle as a baseball bat made out of cement to the face, but I do believe there was a good message and intent behind it all. Wathcing it as an adult, I feel a heavy dosage of nostalgia, but acknowledge that it's a pretty heaveyhanded show. Some of the shit that the villains pull off, there's no way it'd fly in the real world, but in the show, it makes sense. Anyway, as for where Captain Planet goes when he's not the powers combined and magnified, he kind of ceases to exist, he basically returns to his base elements. In fact you could argue that he doesn't exist at all until "heart" gets added to the mix, as he can survive/exsist without half of his powers. IIRC there was an episode where Captain Planet is stranded without the powers of water, fire and air/wind, because Ma-Ti and Kwami, Heart and Earth respectively were trapped in on a base out in space. So it kind of implies that Cap, is limited to planet Earth. But then there's another episode where Cap is trapped inside a magic prison in his full form, but it's implied because he was drawn from the rings. The show's logic get's a bit confusing from time to time.

This was actually one of my most favorite episodes because of the poetic idea of “losing the love of your life” in the way that you no longer recognize the person behind their eyes. That scene where she goes on a rage and he breaks down is still one of my favorite Morty scenes ever man

Ugh! I'm I still the only one who thinks Planetina still looks like Mariner fused with Captain Planet or Is It just me?

Her breakdown was hinted at when Morty told her he killed her kids and she gave no f's.

I feel like (and this is totally my opinion not a critique of the show for the style they choose) that if they wanted to be more plot driven that they could have made things work. Mortys relationship with planetina was almost a weird reflection of his partnership with rick; a sort of sidekick who just hangs around out of necessity or care with no actual agency. They could have had morty start to break the cycle by voicing his concerns (you know, before she starts literally murdering people) and it be made clear how despite appearances to him, she’s just a damaged and scared person. In a way they kind of fit each other; he’s anxious and feels like he has no control over his life, and she has been constantly lead to believe she’s totally alone and in charge of saving a dying world. Morty makes her feel like someone’s on her side, and she makes him feel like he matters. The newer outlook could even have theoretically lead to conflict between Morty and rick that might have made the end of season five a bit less abrupt.

I was thinking about it and I see a parallel between the two. The girl was sheltered for most of her existence, and like Morty, once she got experienced in the world she lost it.

Rick's "nothing matters" attitude is more due to him losing his wife and child than it is due to travelling the multiverse.

I haven't been this disappointed by a Status Quo is God breakup since what happened between Danny and Valerie.

Probably won't happen, but I would love to see Planetina again! Maybe she could redeem herself 😃

this is one of my favorite morty relationship episdoes. Hope you take a look at mortys relationship in the vat of acid episode as its nice to see morty actually grow as a person even if for just one episode

I really wish this show would pair Summer and Rick together more, I think they have such an interesting dynamic, I've thought so since Season 1

I mostly like Planetina as a comment on Captain Planet (CP from now on - this is a long one). I remember, when CP first aired. Back then environmentalism was still a new thing, especially in kids media. CP was one of the first non-villainious examples. (Like how in Batman TAS all the villains suddenly got "green" motivations? Catwoman and the Penguin were all of a sudden interested in the plight of endangered cats and birds, respectively. That show was when Poison Ivy first got her "kill all humans to save the plants" motif!) In hindsight, of course, CP was not perfect. His main shortcoming was his focus on individual efforts. "Only you can prevent polution"? Yeah, that was him. His villains were cartoon villains just like Planetina's Diesel Weasel, who polluted because they found it fun. He never mentioned corporations or how environmental damage is caused by their greed and negligence. Why? Well, because those same corporations bought the TV adds on the channels, that played CP, and they didn't like it. So, CP was bound by corporate chains, just like Planetina is at the beginning of her episode. But unlike him, Planetina got free. When Morty took her rings (and, I assume, gave them to her), her chains were cut, and she could see the real problem. Not children, who don't recycle newspapers, or random local fire, but wide-spread, systemic destruction. And she decided to fulfill her purpose and stop it. Is she extreme? Yes. But is her development such a shock? I don't think so.

I think the idea behind the episode is that in the original show, Captain Planet had five kids, Ma-Ti, whose power Heart essentially boiled down to Empathy, the ability to connect and understand people on an emotional level. That's why Captain Planet was able to restrain himself despite the fact that in theory getting rid of humans in general by force would probably help the planet as a whole. Planetina however never had that, only the four elements, meaning she lacked that empathy and thus the ability to properly connect with people on an emotional level. Thus she couldn't understand things from a human perspective and is thus simply the elements unleashed.

Dang man! Just got back into R&M via the RU-vid algorithm. Now I get blessed with this! The algorithm gives me what I want.

It's a, "Dani Targaryen play". A nod to the finale of Game of Thrones last second to last episode. Lol. You actually broke this down and took it seriously,lol. Bless your heart.

I think Planetina never spent enough time not in actually on earth, I'm assuming she was in a pocket void or something when she isn't saving the world, and the longer she was present on earth, the harder it was for her to block out all of the bad things happening, like literally hearing the world screaming in pain. She doesn't have tools to deal with constantly being on earth and surrounded by shitty humans.

14:55 it may be out of nowhere but it made complete sense why she went crazy. Her kids only brought her out to fix specific issues and then she was sent back to her world. She thought she was making the world better. Now that she is free she realizes exactly how much trouble the world is in and that causes her to go crazy 18:32 right, but all those people Morty has witnessed worst things happen to are strangers on far away planets that have nothing to do with him. But whenever the situation affect humans on earth, the planet he lives on, he tries his best to stop them. We have seen this happen with the talking fart that wanted to kill all humans, the world where rock turns everybody into monsters and he even tried to stop Rick in the first episode when he wanted to blow up the world. If it affects his world/ his family he has a problem with it. If it affects other worlds and other beings, he's more willing to let it slide. So it fits into his to stop her from killing earthlings unnecessarily.

Another thing to note is that Morty despite what he's done, GENERALLY treasures life, especially HUMAN life. We've seen him now, going back to other planets and righting the wrongs Rick left despite the fact he could just pretend it never happened. If he doesn't see anything to empathize with in another race he seems to not care if they'll die, but otherwise he tries to do the right thing. Outside of when he has his tantrums, I suppose. So on top of the reasons you gave, seeing her kill innocent humans was too much.

and I'd still found the Planetina and the Voltron parody episode to be my favorite episodes from Rick and Morty

The only thing I really dislike about R&M is the parts of the fanbase that just worships Rick, honestly it reminds me of The Church of the Bat's obsession with Batjesus. He's the best character and anybody that dares challenge him is an out-of-character fascist (although I blame some of that on Frank Miller for All-Star Batman and Robin, and the fans that try to turn Bats and Supes into David and Goliath).

Funny enough in the actual Captain Planet show, there’s like a episode or two that shows the kids in the future. They’re all jaded and tired of being ring holders, and pretty much feel like it’s only so much they can do. Captain Planet himself isn’t even what he used to be.

I think the real issue Morty had with planetina killing is she was the one part of his life that wasn't morally gray when him and Rick kill people it's either deserved or accidentally but Morty from the start till now accepts that's just what being with Rick is about but planetina was heroic kind nothing she did was bad she was something pure just like how Morty idolized the vindicators they were everything him and Rick weren't good and pure until Rick showed him how gray they were Edit: I think what drove planetina to murder was Morty before she would just rough people up send a message of good will and peace but Morty killed for her she treats her killings the same as Morrie's she says "you killed my children" no remorse or pain she understood they were bad people so she's taking Morty's example and killing bad people

Also, I just wanted to point out, I think Planetina's sudden outburst against the miners was intentionally out-of-nowhere. I've been in a relationship where something just blindsided me after years of rapport and consistency. These things do happen, and I think maybe they wanted to communicate that feeling by opting out of any foreshadowing. Sometimes someone you're sure you know just becomes an alarmingly different person out of nowhere due to one significant instance of pressure or persuasion and (in my case, at least) stays that way for the rest of their life.

I think Morty influences Planetina when he kills her kids, showing her the end does justify the means. I think she is mentally younger than Morty, her kids kept her on a short leash and she never learn what was right or wrong. The relationship failed because Morty didn't connect with her, they just make out all the time. Beth was correct, Morty wasn't ready for a relationship

Adult swim shows tend to be really creepy with age gaps all the fucking time which is half the reason I don’t watch them it creeps me out even if it is just a joke

This episode had so much heart, which is rare for Rick And Morty. I felt bad for Morty, even though he had a good reason for ending the relationship. I felt bad for Planetia, too. Beth comforting Morty was a nice touch.

I actually think this was good for both characters. Planetina was ignorant of the people using her, and lacked the willingness to compromise on eco issues. Morty wanted something normal( by the Sanchez standard), and wanted to connect with someone that wasn't using him, or keeping him around as a shield or to make themselves look better(jessica, and summer). And he was willing to do whatever it took to get it, even to his own detriment I have a feeling that the 2 of them will make up later in the series and try to work through there faults together. Also lets remember morty has her power rings and he didn't use them to control her, so that means he letting her do her thing. Plus I hoping for a vinicator episode with planetina being involved

14:58 yeah it really does lol. one minute both of you are lovey dovey next minute someone is keying someone's car and the other is trying to burn down the house. crazy tends to not show itself at first

Actually, Planetina's "transformation" made total sense: she's never known an existence outside of being an eco-warrior turned marketing product, and with the latter out of the way, she's rather destined to revert fully back to the former, since it represents the "decent side" of her that she kept as her primal identity throughout her life. She was never allowed to flourish beyond the limitations of the rings, never capable of experiencing live and getting in touch with all of it's characteristics and nuances. Or - as Dr. Void belows me has already commented - she's never existed outside of those short moments when she had to "save the earth". It's all she knows. And withouth any restraints, she is bound to triple or quadruple down on it, at least for the first part of her free life. In a way, this might be why the presumed age gap doesn't come forward all that much: Morty is actually the one who is more mature, who has "lived" more "life" out of both of them. In the end, that's the real age gap that terminates their relationship. Also: in the end, she replies to Morty's accusations with "but you killed my kids...." This is something barely touched upon, but yes: in her mind, the only people she ever bonded with were just brutally murdered by her new lover. And it's generally presented to her as a good thing. This might have made her double down on the mindset that "the ends justify the means". According to her view, Morty is a hypocrite who allows himself to commit atrocities for the greater good yet doesn't support her in doing so.... reducing her to being just a piece of property just like her "kids" did. This makes the "fuck you" in the end so heartwrenching....

I forgett so easily that Rick and Morty is almost 10 years now. My teens don't feel that long ago 😂😏

Planetina is misunderstood.

And for saying no to someone you love yes it is hard. I literally was dumped cause I said no to my ex. No amount of love was gonna change my mind and be in a risky place.

18:50 I mean morty’s murders aren’t ever against innocent people, and if they are… he doesn’t see the effects of the action or copes by blaming Rick, who he knows is always in the wrong

15:26 i think we did slowly get to know the other side of planetina; beth showing concern, talking about her kids and her slowly doing more radical things it shows who she is. The reason it may appear out of the blue is bc we’re watching from morty’s perspective. He had the red colored glasses, so all the red flags seemed like regular flags Edit: yeah I also think they could’ve made it more than one episode to completely establish the problems

I just wanted the relationship to last longer. It having a timer on half an episode-length really kills the meaning or value it can hold since it is all too brief. Though I absolutely despise that episode with the remote that "save's his place in time." Morty finds a fulfilling relationship that seems genuinely wonderful and good for his well-being... But the writers just make Jerry f"ck the whole thing up because they don't want to deal with writing relationships or anything outside of the status quo.

I'd still wish they gave Morty a better Girlfriend

She went insane from the way her kids treated her. The episode is making the argument that her falling for morty was the warning sign to her sanity. It makes sense that she'd have a illness.

I feel like Morty rejected Planetina because he thought she was good, but in the end, she was just like the rest of everyone. That is, assuming Morty has a memory longer then 25 minutes, since he and Rick has been up to so much evil, maybe Morty could be changed by a sweet cinnamon bun like Planetina, but in the end, the one he idolizes are nothing like the real one, and she is just like everyone else. Well, that is my take. I still hope we will see her agen in a later season, she is one of the more interesting characters in the show.

Alison Brie’s voice gives me wowzers in my trousers

I know this probably won’t be seen but planetina breaking makes sense to me. Something like this happened to me when I was 15 and the 25 year women I thought was sweet eventually broke very similarly.

I just want morty to be happy

Tbf Planetina did cause a fair amount of destruction when fighting diesel weasle, and instead of just creating a storm with rain, she blanketed the forest and the ANIMALS in snow so you could say that was part of the foreshadowing to her extremism

Great video but I think there are two thing you missed when understanding Planetina. First is that we aren't meant to fully understand Planetina's character before their breakup, the second is that Planetina is very likely discovering who she is at this time too. You said she is out of character but we only ever saw her while she was showing interest in/being romantic with Morty or when she was being submissive to her controlling kids. The show never allowed us to see the moments when she was allowed to be an individual. She didn't have an established personality aside from being an abused superhero who was into Morty. At first her freedom doesn't seem too problematic, bringing wind to the turbines of a city without power and scaring off poachers. Something her kids would have let her do but they represent her first decisions without their consent. Then she starts slashing tires to prevent driving and Morty looks nervous, she commits arson on an anti-environment Congressman's home and proudly shows it off to Morty on the news while Morty is appalled, then she attacks a coal mine and kills the workers leaving Morty horrified. Honestly, they show her going into a rage but I think they set it up so that it would have been believable for her to have happily done it and gleefully gone back to Morty proud of her accomplishment, not realizing she did anything wrong. You did comment that her and Morty were moving too fast. Morty meets her, falls in love, asks her to move in, and runs off with her in the period of a few days. Morty only really starts to get to know her after they run off together which they show us in a montage of escalating incidents. We get to know her at the same rate Morty gets to know her so your surprise at her actions is exactly what Morty is feeling. Just like how you're wondering why they didn't foreshadow it, Morty is probably wondering to himself why he didn't see the signs. The lesson being don't move too fast into a relationship before you get to know someone. I don't necessarily agree that her actions were hard to believe or out of character, but even if they were, it would be understandable. When Morty frees and runs off with Planetina, she gains control of her life for the first time. It may not be a matter of not having spent enough time with her to get to know her but not knowing her when she had enough freedom to have a real personality not dictated by her kids consent. In contrast to her previous relationship with her kids, Morty allows her control of this relationship. He helps Planetina do what she wants to do. This is not just the first time the audience sees her expressing her individuality, it is her discovering her individuality and figuring out who she is as a person. It's also important to consider that the episode is poking fun at the very concept of Captain Planet. Suddenly snapping and killing people might be out of character for a regular superhero who's primary goal is protecting people but the embodiment of the Earth should view humanity as their natural enemy. Robot Chicken did it years ago with Captain Planet realizing humanity will never change and committing genocide against the human race. One Punch Man did it as a joke with the monster Vaccine Man being created by the Earth in a last desperate act to save itself from humans, but superheroes just saw it as another supervillain and killed it without a second thought. Freeing an enslaved Captain Planet-esque superhero being controlled by people not interested in stopping humanity from destroying the world sounds a lot more like a supervillain origin story. You would kind of need to justify why they wouldn't become a supervillain rather than why they would.

I have a couple of ideas why Planetina went crazy 1) The idea of absolute power corrupting someone. Since Planetina no longer has any hindrances (I think the rings and her kids were keeping her powers in check) she felt like she could do whatever she wanted however she wanted. 2) The line about the planet screaming makes me think that she’s possibly realizing that the way she’s “helping” the planet may be doing more harm than good, overall.

Rick is a very lonely person, especially during his adventures. The world is confusing and all the adventure only makes his awkwardness and insecurity grow. Like the love potion, he doesn't care about the consequences, he just wants someone to love. Like a normal teen guy, you know? Also, a personal theory as to why Planetina freaks out could be that her children dying had some negative, unstable effect on her. Like without the humanity she falls apart? Also good video essays you make! I wanna get into those myself and maybe you could give me some pointers on it?

slight correction, there were 5 planeteers, water wind earth fire and heart

its relationship reminds me to a relationship i had with a girl 10 years more than me...it was very nice and we understood each other...but at the end it couldnt last due to our ages

I think it’s a good example of don’t date someone who is only ideology.

This is what its like to find out a person is a psychopath(toxic). Sudden. You dont gett a warning untill the outburst. That is the warning. Over all enjoy the video. I just dont think things needed to be different

Love ur videos keep em coming

In captain planet they didn't find they rings, they were chosen by gaia, so I am sure she could just take them back if they start being abused.

I think the lack of proper foreshadowing led to a harder emotional punch to the gut as up until then I thought it could really work out. The foreshadowing would put the viewer more in Beths perspective where as how it is now, you really feel that heartbreak alongside morty.

I was never into Rick And Morty, because there was way too much grounding. I'm more into shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, 12. Oz Mouse, and The Brak Show, that are as crazy and nonsensical as possible. But Rick And Morty is way too grounded and structured.

the sudden change in her attitude i think is part of the joke, not saying its a great way to do it, but im guessing its the be careful what you wish for kind of scenario which is also juxtapose with summers adventure with rick

ur videos are sssooooooooooo good and ur points are so normal and arent reaching at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep it up !!!!!!!!!!!

If Planetina can hear the planet screaming, she may have had problems all along.

Did they ever explain whether or not Planetina had a range on where she can be summoned from? If not there is an easy solution, have morty ask Rick to make a clone of Morty , give the clone the rings to summon her, have the clone be given orders to summon her near the sun so both the clone and Planetina burn up

Rick's only reason as to why he acts the way he does is because he had to watch his family get killed right in front of him simply because he wanted to be with them instead of being selfish. that would drive anyone to alcoholism and a nihlistic mindset. I may hate the guy, but I at least understand why he is the way he is.

Which Overpopulation episode of Captain planet did you watch? The one with the Mice or the one where the characters all age?

in the first two seasons it wasnt so episodic it was really cool but then they just said he was the smartest man in the universe and gave him all the crazy tech and made him invincible, and the intro to season 3 completely destroyed everything the past two seasons had been building up to and they also made the entire family a bunch of assholes

to this Day I still do LOVE Rick and Morty

17:28 Talking to the miners? Morty or the excavation workers? They both diving in dangerous holes. HEYOOO

I felt this relationship was the most unhealthy thing I’ve seen on tv. Age aside the push to violence and the active manipulation on both sides was kind of insane. The funny thing is looking at the commentary and scenes themselves I’m not sure how they wanted this to be viewed. It’s a pretty interesting watch for the conversation alone. Relationships are complex, and it’s neat that Rick and Morty could amp that idea to 11.

I love your videos 💗

Honestly I would have called the ship planet jumping.

This is one of the best episodes 15:26 because she was finally able to show her raw emotions. Not just cause she's free, since love opens/ brings. Every other emotion bursting out.

She was just killed when the Earth turned into Mr. Frumbles.

I just want to say, as much as I can understand Morty breaking up with her... We see it from logics side, he broke the heart of a superpowered Sociopath, cutting her last link to humanity! I would be surprised if she doesn't turn into a villain.

Captain Planet was made from the four classical elements and heart. Perhaps he was simply a sentient construct made from elements that were essentially inert until Captain Planet was called upon. Think of a piece of Ikea furniture, when deconstructed the parts are useless as whatever they're supposed to be parts of but when the parts are assembled they can function as whatever the piece of furniture is.

If I was the embodiment of planet Earth made sentient I go berserk on humanity too, to be fair.

Problem is Planetina is NOT crazy. People always say they wanna save the world but when someone actually takes action for it and doesnt stop at the first glance of complication or sacrifice its called crazy.

The question of "Planetina the Villain" is simple: Morty has the rings, he can imprison her at will. Unless of course, he gave them to her. In the latter case we can assume Rick handled that problem while taking a piss.

Honestly I feel the montage is the foreshadowing I mean she got worse and worse by trying to help Earth the miners were just her breaking point.

7:33 big question how is Marco Diaz possibly in this early 30s is it because he is a descendant of a mewman
