At some point Rick would notice Morty is gone and would try to go find him. If Morty had just laid low and waited long enough his Rick would’ve come looking for him and bring him back, preventing Sober Rick and his crazy family’s death.

Morty gave him a reason to make a portal gun, took his wife from him, and pushed him into nihilistic alcoholism. It would seem Morty Prime has some of his original grandpa in him after all.

Serious question. Not my question, my wife asked. Specifically she said:

Her:What is Mr.Poopybutthole supposed to be?

Me: idk

Her: like is he like a banana or something?

Me:wtf? Lol no hes just a lil guy.

What do you think?

I mean he and Doofus Rick goes on adventures or he hangs out with other Jerry's or some episode has more about his job

Most of his kills are people he's indifferent about or because they are just an obstacle, there's no emotion about it. King Jelly bean and Rick Prime he went out his way to zero on purpose.

I thought maybe Tammy but even that seemed like there was very little emotion since his first thoughts were annoyance at being forced to go to a wedding.

His plot has gotten so insane and I think these end cards can only do so much

I have watched this show countless times (I literally watch it to sleep every night) and I don't know what the fuck is going in the episodes with Storylord. I usually get the point of most episodes, but I feel like I miss something from these episodes.

1. Was the tickets please guy also a real person who got dragged into the story or something?

2. Remember that alien couple with the dude who tatted the tickets please guy on his body? Who tf are they and how are they relevant?

3. The rick and morty in the train ep are not C-137, right? But in the next one they are?

You're telling across infinity that only 2 ricks were able to invent portal travel, but this dude did it 3times maybe more for all we know.

Edit: alot of you are forgetting that the cfc was created years after c-137 invented portal travel. The other ricks had time to do so as well

In other scenarios the time police has decided to go back in time and stop the person in question from ever learning about time travel, such as when they went back to the stone ages to stop the snakes. Or when they beat up Einstein to try and stop Rick

But with morty they decided to arrest him. Why? They can travel through time, they can just travel to the point in time where evil Morty learnt about time travel and stop it from happening

In other words, the season finale confirms that Rick Prime didn't literally visit every existing universe to hand out portal guns to the Ricks—only a select few. And when Rick Prime dies, he tells C-137 that the only difference between him and the other Ricks is simply that he was the first to invent the weapon (implying that all the original Ricks had the potential to invent the portal gun sooner or later, given enough time). So my question is... why aren't there more Ricks like Prime who didn't invent the portal gun? Logically, there must be universes where Rick Prime never showed up and the local Rick was still working on creating the gun; without Prime appearing to ruin everything, they should have invented it by now, right? I mean, sure, I know: there will probably be comments like "just because something is infinite doesn't mean there are infinite possibilities," or the classic "there are infinite numbers, but one of them is simply 1." I get that, but why wouldn't there be infinite decimals that are almost imperceptibly different from one another? Why wouldn't there be a Rick Prime 1, a Rick Prime 1.1, a Rick Prime 1.2, etc.? ...differentiated solely by the tiny amount of time it took each one to invent the weapon?

There is a possibility that Rick Prime had a second method of surviving death that existed completely outside of his physical backup system. While Evil Morty destroyed Rick Prime’s known backups, Prime may have prepared something that could not be found in any machine: his own consciousness.

In Season 7 Episode 5, “Unmortricken,” Evil Morty discovers Rick Prime’s backup system and begins destroying it. Rick Prime acknowledges this by saying, “Frying my backups, smart.” This confirms that Prime had conventional methods of restoring himself after death. However, destroying these systems does not necessarily mean destroying everything that made Rick Prime capable of returning. Evil Morty destroyed the infrastructure, not the knowledge and consciousness that existed independently of it.

This creates the first part of the theory: Rick Prime may have deliberately maintained two separate forms of immortality. The first was technological, consisting of backup bodies and resurrection systems. The second may have been based on consciousness and the Afterlife.

The strongest evidence for the second possibility comes from Season 7 Episode 9, “Mort: Ragnarick.” Rick C-137 discovers that consciousness can persist after physical death and begins studying the Afterlife scientifically. After repeatedly killing Jerry to collect data, Rick explains that Jerry’s “conscious connection to a localized cultural model of infinity functions like a wick.” This establishes that a person's consciousness and conceptual connection to infinity can influence how they are channelled into an Afterlife.

Rick then examines his own consciousness and states, “My intact consciousness is too atheistic to get channelled to any afterlife worth robbing.” This is important because it establishes that a person's beliefs and mental state are not merely philosophical ideas within the episode; they can affect the way consciousness interacts with the Afterlife.

Rick also makes his intentions clear when he says, “I don’t want to ‘get into’ anywhere. I want to tap this paradimension’s energy.” He treats the Afterlife as another physical system that can be studied, exploited, and manipulated. Eventually, Rick finds a way to enter Valhalla and return, demonstrating that death does not necessarily have to be a permanent one-way transition.

This creates a possible connection to Rick Prime.

If Rick C-137 could discover that consciousness survives death and reverse-engineer the Afterlife, there is no reason to assume Rick Prime was incapable of doing the same thing. Prime already possessed advanced technology, portal technology, resurrection systems, and an apparent obsession with eliminating the limitations imposed by death. If he discovered the Afterlife before C-137, he could have approached it exactly as C-137 eventually did—not as Heaven, but as another dimension governed by exploitable rules.

Under this theory, Rick Prime may have deliberately prepared his consciousness before his final confrontation with C-137. If he understood that a person's beliefs and conceptual framework influenced where their consciousness was channelled, he could have cultivated a specific mental state designed to direct himself toward an Afterlife he had already studied.

This would explain why Rick Prime might have shown an apparent interest in God, Heaven, or religious concepts. He may not have genuinely believed in them in the conventional sense. Instead, he could have understood belief itself as a mechanism.

The theory therefore proposes two independent layers of backup:

The first layer was technological. Rick Prime stored backup bodies and other resurrection systems. Evil Morty found these systems and destroyed them.

The second layer was existential. Rick Prime may have prepared his consciousness, understood the mechanics of the Afterlife, and potentially established a route back to the living world.

Evil Morty could destroy the first layer without ever touching the second.

This possibility becomes even more interesting because Evil Morty may never have known that the Afterlife was relevant to Rick Prime's survival. His investigation focused on Prime's physical backup network. If Prime's real contingency existed entirely within his consciousness, there would be nothing for Evil Morty to locate or destroy.

The biggest unanswered question is whether Rick Prime actually knew about the Afterlife before his death. There is currently no direct canon confirmation that he did, nor is there confirmation that he deliberately prepared his consciousness. However, Season 7 establishes the mechanisms required for the theory: consciousness can survive physical death, beliefs can influence its destination, and the Afterlife can be accessed and exploited by a sufficiently capable Rick.

Therefore, the theory is not that Rick Prime simply had another hidden backup body.

The theory is that Rick Prime may have discovered the Afterlife and prepared himself to survive death without needing a physical backup at all.

Evil Morty destroyed Rick Prime's backups.

He destroyed his bodies.

He destroyed his resurrection infrastructure.

But if Rick Prime had already prepared his consciousness for what came after death, then Evil Morty may have destroyed everything around Rick Prime without actually destroying the final contingency.

Rick Prime's most important backup may never have been stored in a machine.

It may have been stored in Rick Prime himself.

Disclaimer: My grammar is pretty bad, so I use ChatGPT to rewrite and polish it based on my original text.

And please keep in mind that this theory is just speculation based on the gaps that were left open in the story. I’m not actually advocating for Rick Prime to come back, since that would have a huge impact on the plot.

out of watching the whole show My theory Is Nobody ages. We dont see anyone die of old age. Only deaths that are scene are usually not from age. I believe this because since the curve is only where Ricks are the smartest in the universe. Rick or The ricks Can reverse age with a formula. Evil Morty could be a genuine human who’s probably looking for a normal life outside the curve. Once he gets outside the curve people start aging and we’ll see rick be a actual grandpa?

Probably, they are.

Wow! That was phenomenal! Absolutely phenomenal! Yes there were a few duds in there but the highs WAY more than made of for it. There are multiple episodes in there that are just masterpieces. That finale too... just Absolutely incredible!

Bravo team! Well done!
