Ending of Rick and Morty S1E6 (when they had to bury "their" bodies) Ending of Rick and Morty S7E5 (after battle with Rick Prime) The song is synced up from both episodes.
I think is not that, but rather both scenes have more to do with letting go of your attachments and seeing life from a bigger perspective. Morty realized that his mundane concerns (high school, bullies, girls, even his family to a certain extent) that his life was limited to ceased to exist in a few seconds and the world went on as if nothing had happened, so As he told Summer, worrying so much about it was a mistake. Rick spent so many years resenting life and obsessed with catching Rick Prime that he couldn't see his mistake until he killed him.
I’d rather know my life doesn’t matter so I give it any purpose I want rather than knowing my life doesn’t have a purpose anymore, even if it mattered.
That's the things it's sort of the opposite. Morty looks around and it's the same old problems, the same arguments as his old universe. Rick looks around and so much has changed and evolved, largely for the better, and he's the only one stuck in the past, now with nothing to tether him there. Both Rick and Morty are united in their sense that they don't belong, and a concept that should be freeing carries a heavy weight.
Something so incredibly sad and strange about Rick staring blankly at his two daughters now enjoying being around Jerry, being playful with him, doing chores with him, laughing and smiling and then eating dinner together, something he so strongly tried to prevent and hated, and he doesn't seem to even care
@@vanthursdayexactly. The real kicker isn’t that Rick Prime is dead. It’s that it wasn’t the ultimate battle he always imagined. It was anti-climactic and with anything else in the multiverse Rick would be able to go somewhere else and try again for a cooler/more epic ending. But not this time, this is a once in the multiverse opportunity and it’s stolen by a morty. All he has left is regret
@@FirEBeast I don't think you are looking into the event the way its supposed to be viewed. It had nothing to do with how climatic or "awesome" the fight would be. Rick's state is unrelated to this fact entirely. It's simply that from the moment Diane and his daughter were murdered by Rick Prime, revenge was the only thing he could think of. It quite literally sparked his ability to innovate and create. He wasn't doing it for fun, money, ego, etc. He was simply seeking revenge. And once he got the revenge he's been chasing all this time he suddenly has nothing left. He can't go back to his original family. They are dead. His new family is a mishmash of different dimensions. Beth has a clone, Jerry isn't from any of their dimensions, Morty is from Prime's dimension. He now feels alone since his entire sense of purpose vanished.
@@xPRODIGYxGAMER So kinda like how when Uncle Ben was killed, Peter wanted to kill the person who shot him. But once he did, he wished he’d never done it
Not true- Who Morty is as a person and even Summer can as the series progresses be shown to be extensions of her for Rick and the audience and the show goes on.
@@AljeiHypnos_Q-Qpff balance and moderation in this context? Ridiculous, all you can do is prepare for it and accept it, once you do you'll just feel like you've just reach the end of the trail, able to the take in the beautiful view before taking another one
I think it's more that he did what he wanted but he got rid of everything that he could've done AFTER There was a whole citadel of Ricks who went through the same thing as him but he blew that up The only people who'd connect to him is him
No, he's changed. S1 Rick looked bored, like jumping through realities was just a Sunday for him. S7 Rick has the existential crisis kicking in after he finally killed the guy he spent decades hunting down. You can see it in his eyes, "Was it all worth it? Is my life any different now?"
Rick is numb to the pain, loss and regret that comes with the memory of who Diane was and her importance to him. The thought of living without her is simple. .
@@sndrsctt3725he pretends not to care and has henceforth convince himself of this lie, anytime anyone gets close to him to the point they could or can form any form of special bind with Rick he usually pushes them away, not believing the very lie he sold himself- That he doesn't deserve to be happy and that while he is an interdimensional traveler he is as he sees it "Destined to die alone".
Plot twist: Diane wasn’t wiped across infinity, it was that Szechuan sauce. It was in Diane’s pocket because she knew how much Rick would want it on their trip to get ice cream, and the blast wiped out the Szechuan sauce.
I choose to take a more optimistic approach given how Morty evolved as a character and how Rick reacted at the end of the episode. And also it’s better more satisfying fiction this way. Morty learned his life is “relatively inconsequential” by nonchalantly replacing a dead version of himself as if nothing ever happened. Sounds pretty existentially traumatizing on paper, and there’s definitely times where that callousness results in our Morty making less then ethical and smart decisions across the series. I mean when he does return to his cronenburged reality of origin and meets apocalypse Jerry? He gets rightfully called out on a lot of bad behavior. The experience did however recontextualize life to Morty in good ways too. He came out the other side smarter, stronger, more independent, and more capable. See his conversation to Summer about his past dead self. I mean season 1 Morty? The only thing he actually cared about was Jessica’s chest. He didn’t really care at all for his family, life and people and moments that actually matter. He was a worry wart drowning in shallow teenage bullshit Morty grew a spine essentially. Rick however has had an inverse of Morty’s Journey. Rick’s always been the smartest and strongest in the room. Independent in that getting revenge on the one who took what he considered everything was the only thing IN THE ENTIRE MULTIVERSE that mattered to him. Everything else was a joke, a distraction, a chess piece in him and Prime’s game. Prime states that hunting him is the only thing that has given him Rick’s long and storied life purpose. At first in this montage maybe Rick agrees, but then he starts to notice around him. His house, his family. They may not be his truly, but HE was here for them. Despite how “easily replaceable” they were, he had grown fond of them, even Jerry. Prime dying didn’t eliminate Rick’s Purpose, it freed him to soften up. To make him realize that this whole time under his very nose he had the family he had been trying to avenge, no matter how weird and strange they may be in context. Despite brutalizing his wife and daughter’s killer with his bare hands mere hours before, Rick sits down at dinner with the family, and smiles. Rick and Morty both came to a point of better appreciating the gift of life through very different means. Morty and the Smiths were shown the worst and improved in response to it, and Rick saw the best and found new purpose in its presence. Rick and Morty at its core, always been about family, friends, loved ones, and finding value spending our limited time in the universe as we know it with them. Really makes you wonder with all these happy family values why Justin Roiland beat his Wife.
@@lukes.3679 nah I guess they were dropped apparently I just checked. and it was his girlfriend not his wife. However unlike the Johnny Depp case where it was widely covered and pretty obvious who was the main one at fault, I don’t personally know for sure if Roiland is innocent. I’ve never really researched the guy or the claims so I don’t know if him being acquitted is a good thing or not. Either way his life has become a whole lot more difficult and I guess that’s not good. I don’t know to be honest I was kind of exhausted of his sense of humor either way.
@@TimothyGod it probably was just easier to jump dimension since he didn't care about that one. it was shown that ricks will easily jump dimension if fixing their current one is to much of a pain. a good example would be the squirrel incident
@@dabonethug yes... it's different in person though, and desensitization is not unique to our era. in the high middle ages, it was very easy to regularly see nasty diseases and random gore, partly because people spent more time outside. not that they didn't also find ways of staying inside all day, it just took more imagination than finding stuff to do in nature.
You guys ever feel the same after something big happens? Like you finally turn adult age (18 or 21). Or graduate something. Then you have a big party to celebrate, only to go back to sleep and wake up in the same life you lived before the great achievement. And you feel uncanny, because the only thing changed is number on the calendar.
@@arthur_here4977 If you get drafted, of course your life will immediately change the first morning in the barracks. But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m not talking about extreme external events. And the change where you take initiative to start going to gym, etc, are also only noticeable in hindsight. After the first day/week in the gym, the only thing that you notice change in your life is the muscle pain. But otherwise, you still wake up in the same bed, eat the same breakfast, talk to the same people, the same as yesterday. Because each non extreme day has a seamless sense of continuation. And I’m highlighting the funny part of how some celebrations don’t disturb this monotony. You only notice if anything has changed far in the future.
@@arthur_here4977 I don't mean life doesn't change what so ever, I mean the perception of change can only be viewed from hindsight. Unless it's extreme change like getting drafted.
Without purpose, life is mundane, monotone, it's nothing Edit: guys, stop fighting, u didn't understand the message, i was trying to say why Rick felt empty after finally achieving his goal, he had nothing left to do, no goal, no purpose, he didn't know what to do anymore Don't start a civil war guys, and thx for the likes
Its up to us to find our purpose, a purpose that makes us happy. There isn't a predetermined purpose made by a "god" anyone that tells you god made you for a specific purpose is lying.
I love how the two scenes connect, in season Episode 6 The family was fighting and not so attached. In the Season 7 episode 5, Rick felt detached with his purpose, but his family was not fighting and everyone was whole. It even followed up well with Rick and Morty getting back into the ship for yet another adventure.
I love how it shows the character development of how Jerry and Beth are actually better with eachother and Rick realises that he really is nothing without prime and just gets another beer
Yknow it makes me feel better about this rick and morty cause they had project phoenix and if this particular rick and morty didnt have have one theyd be rerouted to another rick ands mortys universe
This was the official start of the shows domino progress of plot that did and would in fact have meaning. S1x06 was the start of using Morty to bring about this inevitable change to the show through him which woukd give life to the show's world through the lenses of his eyes while. S7x05 is not necessarily the start but rather the reborn of not only the show's identity but also the rebirth of Rick's charter and deciding to slowly fade the narratives way back into what made Rick ironic not who he was as we knew him but as he will start to become more and more like his old self and he truly learns to let go, move on and grow hopefully or rather thankfully due to Morty as a person for the better in terms of not physically but rather mentally or emotionally healthy instead of outwardly toxic with his well-known and heavily established self-inflicted and destructive nature. It's easy to destroy but it takes real strength to built something that'll last and the writer of the show as they continue the Smith family's story are living breathing prove of that.
I think what’s most troubling abt season 7’s episode is not only that Rick feels empty at the end but mainly that he finally has come to genuinely believe the rhetoric he’s been spouting throughout the series and ironically he’s been crushed by the weight of that realization. Rick constantly says that everything is meaningless and life has no purpose yet dedicated his life to a goal that meant the world to him. Through the pursuit of that goal he’s ruined an unknown amount of versions of his own family and now that he’s finally achieved his goal and feels nothing he realizes life truly is meaningless and that there was no meaning in the damage he’s caused his loved ones. It was all damage for damages sake that provided no benefit to anyone not even in the grand scheme of things. Sure Rick prime was the most evil Rick but Rick doesn’t care abt saving a universe and there’ll prolly be another Rick who takes his place anyways. And what’s worse is morty the same kid who was so mortified he couldn’t speak in s1 is now fully desensitized as he cheers next to his grandfather drenched in blood. This last part may be a stretch but I believe morty’s cheering was supposed to act as symbolism for the meaningless destruction Rick has caused. We see in the same season morty complaining abt not being able to go to school and have normal ppl problems. I think deep down he misses the normal life he had. When his life felt like it acc meant something and Rick is majorly responsible for infecting morty with that mentality. And what’s worse is morty CANT go back to a normal life. Like I said he saw his grandpa covered in blood and started cheering. He’s seen too much at such a young age. In fact I’d argue at the end when Rick walks through his whole house surrounded by this existential barely functioning dis functional family he’s just being reminded of the meaningless destruction that his meaningless pursuit of his meaningless goals has caused. And it’s left him entirely speechless.
@@MDMAx yes and no lol. I think everyone is currently suffering because of that exact mindset or one a kin to it. I feel like everyone is so existential and they believe the universe is meaningless so that means they must create their own but inevitably they end up finding no meaning in that. Space Beth returns cuz there was no meaning in her adventures. Rick gets depressed because their was no meaning in killing prime Rick. And again this may be a stretch but I think morty suffers because he struggles to find meaning at all. He won’t even try. I think the show lowkey wants u to be like summer. Hear. Me. Out. As crazy as she is she seems like the must well adjusted smith to ricks bullshit. She doesn’t idolize or praise him like Beth and morty and she don’t hate him like her dad. She’s just accepting of the person he is. In fact she’s sort of accepting of everything by season 7. Summer is a true absurdist. Recognizing EVERYTHING is meaningless even ur pursuit to create ur own meaning but that shouldn’t discourage u from enjoying life. So what if there’s no grand purpose for u? So what if ur put in earth just to exist for existence sake? Who cares. Might as well have fun while ur here. I think summer fully feels like there isn’t any meaning in anything but unlike a nihilist she won’t give up on life or turn bitter. And unlike an existentialist she won’t search for “her own” meaning. She accepts it’s all meaningless and embraces it w open arms. I’m not saying u should live as an absurdist but I think the shows tryna argue that if u live their lives (multiversal travel, aliens, sci fi shit etc) this is kinda the only way to live sanely.
It is both simultaneously satisfying that we see how everything evolved from the first season to the 7th but sad with what the characters feel throughout these scenes. Morty knows his life means nothing and Rick realized that his life has no meaning anymore.
Morty realizing that no matter what reality it is, it´s the same negative stuff, and Rick realizing that no matter how hard he worked to get that job done, he can´t be as happy as everyone around him. It´s poetry tbh
Now Rick feels what Morty felt at the end of Season 1 Rick Prime was the only other connection he had left to his original family. Now that he's gone, he's only got Morty, whom he can easily just replace and probably has (I think he has actually but idk if it was permanent.) Just like how Morty realized at the end of Season 1 his only connection is through Rick now, who can be easily replaced.
in a way, when rick took morty to another universe in ep 6 he abandoned any hope of seriously finding his familys killer. He chose to go to Morty's first universe and live with them originally in hope the killer would return to his family, but by moving universes with morty odds are now rick his familys killer wont cross pathes
Morty grew to accept his life and be happy about it, that's why he shows happiness and charisma, rick always accepted who he was, but now... he does not even know who he is, so.. how can he accept it?
Wait, why did they bother digging their graves? Rick could have just sent their dead bodies back through a portal to their original Cronenberg dimension.
This is gonna sound pseudo smart but coming back to regular conversations with family after that type of intense science knowledge is a real feeling of being out of place. After I finished my undergrad in physics, I felt like I barely had anything in common with my family anymore.. it was a feeling that passed after I stopped doing as much physics in my daily life
@@ahmedwaad8318imagine being so invested and interested in a topic that it becomes all you wanna talk and think about.. now all of a sudden not only do people not know anything about the topic but they also don’t give a shit and attribute facts of your interested topic to other random uncorrelated answers
@@dafunnimemeguy Kendrick and drake have nothing to do with life lmao my mom, your mom, and everyone’s mom asks physics questions almost everyday. It’s everyday and everywhere
My least favorite part about season 7 is that after that episode, rick seemed exactly fine. They kinda left his "my life now has no purpose" thing behind, which would have made an amazing plot point.
He wasn't fine. Rick went back to getting drunk out of his mind, something he'd been gradually working his way out of over the course of the show, and avoided any discussions about Prime because he didn't know how to feel about it. Rick's way of processing it is to numb himself. He's not going to talk about why he feels so empty and miserable because that's just not how he operates.
When all you work towards is revenge, you will succeed in ruining their life. The problem is that when you look back, you see that your life is destroyed as well.
I relate so much to Rick. Nothing feels worse when you spent so much time and effort getting what you want, and when you finally got it, you don't feel as happy and satisfied as you would want to. That's when you realize how empty and meaningless the goals you were chasing were.
I always felt Prime Beth and Jerry were so in love compared to the ones in the universe Rick and Morty jumped to. But tbf, Primer Beth and Jerry were happy that their son and dad were gone so.
I felt this at both points; there's a profound emptiness when you realise nothing matters, but it then opens the door for you to choose what matters to you, and once you reach a long awaited goal, there too is an emptiness, a power vaccum that longs to be filled, (and it usually is) by either a new goal taking its place or resigning oneself to listlessness, trying to find something to fill the void and never finding something that fits the empty space in the same way...
At first, Morty was having a hard time accepting the reality of their actions, and at the end, the realization of what they've been doing starts to set in for Rick and Morty doesn't seem to be bothered anymore. It's like they switched characters.
What I find interesting is that this reality's Rick didn't have a Project Phoenix in place, and I don't think he got rerouted because eventually he'd find his way home with the help of another Rick.
"Morty, morty, c-c-calm down *Stops burp* calm down morty! *slap* MORTY! Also s7e5 just made me cry, ricks been a jerk but this is the first time I've seen him broken...😭
Honestly, the S7E5 ending hit WAY harder than any of the previous slow moments in this show. I know Rick has depression - but, if we take for example the time he tried to off himself, it was so… Exaggerated in a way that it sort of felt like I was being hit over the head with a mallet over it. (To be clear IRL depression/ other mental health issues manifest in different ways, I’m not saying it’s inaccurate just that it was very over the top compared to how I experience my issues.) But by the end of that episode, while I don’t relate to… the exact circumstances, the way Rick listlessly made his way through the days after without any sense of purpose, now that his short term obsession/ distraction has gone, turned to smile at the people nearby when he was addressed and outwardly appeared happy (or maybe even felt small moments of it), before going back to being lost once their attention is away from him… Damn, that shit felt real.
the abysmal level of decline this show had post season 2 is horrific, this is now just a "hay, member when things were better?" Maybe Dan "I steal everything and destroy it" Harmon shouldn't be respected.
Rick Prime told Rick something about Dianne that Rick didnt know. The reason why he had to erase Dianne from reality. Thats why there was no body in the chair , Rick let him go and is now walking around in shock about what learned about Dianne.
Down the rabit hole i go I will start by watching this for half hour at least then spend my whole night watching rick and Morty but since i will get bored cause i ahve watched the whosl thing i will start by watching bojack horseman then another and another And all this while i have a exam tomorrow Idk why every show or movie seems so exiting when i have exam tomorrow and when the exams are over everything will go back to being boring *sigh*
You know, I hate the fact that the most important life/series changing episode only happen in the last quarter of a Season and not as the actual finale.
Then you're not a real Rick and Morty fan, Roiland practically made the entire show. We may still have Rick and Morty, but the soul of it is now snuffed out and gone for good.
@@IfritBoiOh no! The hack who sexually harassed women is off the show! Now people who actually know how to write have taken his place...what happened to the Rick and morty we love 😔
@@DOG_EATER_1887 Then you would absolutely hate half the celebrities you watch and follow if that's what pushes you to the edge. Imagine separating a creator's misdeeds from their work and what they contributed to it, couldn't be me 😤
@@IfritBoi fair enough, but aside from the shows sense of humor (which is admittedly very important), I don't think roiland was behind much of the show's more dramatic & memorable aspects, and from what we've seen of season 7, although imperfect, I think the other writers are perfectly capable of emulating that or if not bringing their own solid humor to the show. I'm saying that this isn't a community situation where a shows quality is basically dependent on one talented creator (Dan harmon)
Rick evolved so much since we watch the serie that he know hes in...😅 First he stop drinking 24/7... Speak way more clearfully... Care about "his" family even if he say no... (The number of times he just could go away while let his family die is huge...so he care...) Accept Jerry as a human being...not a good men for Beth...but...its a big step... The things that i want to see in the futur are : _ Unity and him being friends again... The first love after his wife and not just another 1 night thing... _ Ice Cube episode...🗿 _ Prime Morty searching about what make our Rick different from others... And i dont know if i skipped episodes but... I dont think we saw the Ktulu episode doesnt we huh... (The last scene of the intro)
The Hit lur curing cancer joke is like a quick throw away but the Not Zee were the first group of scientists to identify the link between smoking/ carcinogens to cancer. Now they were horrible and did it for ALL the wrong reasons but it is a weird fact of history. Rick and Morty is full of a lot of these quick jabs that show how scientifically and historically literate the writers are.
My head canon after season 7 is that Rick could’ve saved earth c-137 from the love potion apocalypse but let it go to shit and get cronenberged since it meant Rick Prime’s earth would be destroyed
