It's worth noting here that some of the reveals do verge on being too confusing. We'll give them exactly what they've asked for" in typically chaotic Rick and Morty fashion. It's almost as if the writers thought "Screw it. That's not to say the show needed to suddenly tear through this much canon at once. Over the past five seasons, it must have gradually become more and more obvious that you can't dangle a secret this big in front of the fans for this long without eventually giving them something, or you risk alienating the fandom entirely. While we don't see that reality yet, and may never will, it's incredible to think that this episode pays off a storyline that first started over seven years ago in season one.ĭid the Rick and Morty team have this planned out since the beginning? Almost certainly not, and as previously mentioned, their obvious disdain for continuity and canon means that they probably did all this out of necessity rather than an active desire for more serialised storytelling. In a bid to break the Finite Curve Barrier and escape the toxic Rick and Morty cycle, Evil Morty kills countless versions of them both and destroys the Citadel, which finally leads him to a new world where Rick is not the smartest person. This Curve explains that all away, answering a question most fans might not have even asked up until now. Given the infinite nature of the multiverse, have you ever wondered why we've never seen Rick visit a reality where people are obviously smarter than him? And these Mortys are then in turn used to assist all the Ricks who banded together to create something known as the Finite Curve Barrier.Įssentially, it's a wall which cordons off all the realities where Rick isn't the smartest man in that particular universe – AKA an "infinite crib built around an infinite f**king baby", as Evil Morty puts it. This even involves setting up an infinite number of Beths with an infinite number of Jerrys to procreate. The other big twist is that the Citadel was actually designed to breed Mortys who labour away to keep the Citadel running. Because of this, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this whole episode has been just leading up to Rick's backstory, but that's not all the finale has in store. Following these revelations about Diane, Rick himself even says "now everyone can shut up about it" in one of the finale's most meta moments yet.įans and critics alike have spent most of this season suggesting that some serialised storytelling and a few canon reveals could help elevate what's been a rather chaotic and sometimes lifeless season.
Still, it's a credit to them that this reveal didn't feel like a let-down, even if it does feel like they themselves weren't particularly excited to share that secret. Given how long the writers have deliberately kept these answers from us, it's clear that the show could have never fully lived up to the weight of all those expectations. Is this tragic backstory a tad clichéd? Sure, but even a show like Rick and Morty needs to lean into these kinds of story beats every now and again. And weirdly enough, that's actually the least shocking thing about this episode.

'Rickmurai Jack' starts off with Rick and his two new companions in full anime mode, but things take a creepy turn when it's revealed that Crowscare, his arch-nemesis, is secretly having sex with Rick's crows.
Still, that doesn't mean what happened next was predictable by any means. Morty expects them to get back together, "because that's what happens at the end of a Rick and Morty episode", but that's not on the cards, not immediately anyway.Īny of us could have predicted that Rick and Two Crows wouldn't last a "thousand seasons", despite Rick's claim to the contrary. It's been five seasons coming, but Rick has finally acknowledged his own cruel toxicity, and what makes this even more painful is that his sudden realization doesn't fix what's already broken. I’ll always be your grandpa, I’m just kind of obsessed with crows now." And with that, Morty is forced to bid his grandfather a teary farewell.
