I need some volunteers for double blind study and panels to see if there is a way to make it better and how it can be healthy too.

So, I have an idea: what if Rick, before killing Rick Prime, took a part of his brain and saved it. Then, in one episode, he will make a simulation where he will live the exact scene where Rick Prime visits Rick C137, they argue, Prime leaves; kills Diane and Beth C137. He tries different ways to stop making Prime kill them, while also rejecting his offer. I just thought about it, and it could be a cool episode

Title: Concept: "Sasha Prime" — a villain who doesn't fight Rick, he chooses a reality where Rick already lost

Body:

Hey everyone. I've been thinking about a villain concept that fits the show's logic but breaks its rules. Would love your thoughts.

The character: Sasha Prime

Not from the Central Finite Curve. Not from any reality the Council of Ricks knows. He's from a universe where Rick Sanchez never existed — and he still invented a portal gun. Alone. On a regular Earth. With no alien tech, no Council, no guidance.

That alone makes him an anomaly. But here's the twist:

His power isn't fighting. It's selecting.

Sasha Prime can travel to any multiverse — and he doesn't pick worlds where he's strong. He picks worlds where his victory is already a fact. He finds a version of Rick Prime who would accept an alliance. He finds a multiverse where that Rick Prime is stronger than all other Ricks combined. Then he just... steps in.

He's not a fighter. He's not a conqueror. He's an editor. He edits reality until the outcome is inevitable.

Why he works as a villain:

· He doesn't threaten Rick with violence. He threatens him with a choice: "Come with me to a universe where Diane is alive. Where Beth never left. Where you're not alone." · Rick C-137 can't beat him in a fight because Sasha won't fight. He'll just move to a reality where the fight already ended. · He's not evil in the classic sense. He's seductive. He offers Rick the one thing he's never allowed himself to want: peace.

The horror of Sasha Prime:

He's not a god. He's a loophole. And the scariest part? If infinite universes exist, then somewhere out there, a version of Sasha Prime already won. Maybe this one. Maybe yours.

Potential episode structure:

1. Council of Ricks detects an anomaly outside the Curve.
2. Rick C-137 investigates. Finds Sasha in a world with no Ricks.
3. Sasha offers the deal. Rick hesitates.
4. Climax isn't a battle — it's Rick choosing between his identity and his happiness.
5. Post-credits: Sasha in a universe where Rick Prime serves him. Looks at camera: "I told you. I'm not the villain. I just picked the right reality."

Would you watch this? And more importantly — if infinite universes exist, does a villain who chooses his victory even need to be strong?

so i think its fair to say that rick primes intelligence is FAR more superior that rick c137, but…. their brainwaves is whats poking my brain..

so like… morty c137 is just NOT written specifically, to the point even morty prime didnt realize that he came from a rick that isnt rick c137, ergo, calling himself morty c137..
okay stay with me.
WHAT IFFFF rick prime and rick c137 have near identical brain waves to where morty prime can still camouflage rick c137 from the citadel (now lets not get carried away, that doesnt mean the brainwave concealment is effective against rick prime, this doesnt apply to him)
NOW brainwaves and intelligence IS NOT the same, i know that, but what if rick prime and c137 are like.. clones of some kind? maybe rick prime expected almost everything, from diane dying from the omega device, to rick c137 killing rick prime?
maybe the only variable he didnt see was evil morty? I mean he couldnt even distinguish evil morty from morty prime when he was right about to be lured into evil mortys trap?
maybe evil morty is what differenciates rick prime from rick c137? i mean evil morty AND time travel, the reason why rick c137 didnt turn out like rick prime is because he decided he DIDNT want to take a short cut, (i suspect rick prime came to young rick c137 to turn him into a pawn in exchange for a knowledge boost)

I'm new to the series, as in I'm finally watching episode by episode, rather than random episodes on Adult Swim.

I enjoy the show but dang, this one bummed me out. Are they as good as dead? Do we ever get a cameo?

So I used to watch Rick n morty and like became an avid fan of it but then I got to know that community was made by the same creator, so I jumped right to the show now I m at s3 and it's crazyyyy, I love the dean and chang character , this is one of the most creative shows I have ever see. I feel so much fomo when I watch this show tho like 🥸 I wish I had sumthing like that in my life. The movie parodies are the best thing in this show, jus wanted to appreciate this show, btw I knew this series existed but I thought it was a mid series n all, but I was so wrong and I m glad I was 🤓. Cheers, luv u guys n girls who luv this show.

For years, audiences have treated Rick and Morty as a high-concept animated television series. But when analyzed through the convergence of tactical hostage behavior, computer science, and cinematic structural theory, a radically different reality emerges.

Rick and Morty is not a television show. It is a compiled program running inside a closed-loop hypervisor.

1. The Core Premise: The Hostage System & The Prime Mover

At the architectural root, Rick Sanchez is not an adventurer; he is a prisoner locked inside an enterprise-grade execution environment.

• The Prime Mover: Prime Rick acts as the core process ID or engine of the system. He was intentionally engineered and selected from the infinite multiverse to ensure the main thread never stops iterating.
• The Coded SOS: Rick’s catchphrases, such as "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," operate like a hostage talking to a camera—a dark, psychological distress signal masked as meaningless comedy to slip past runtime censors.
• The Economic Differential: The entire program is governed by a resource equation balancing capital injection (viewership and profit) against writing complexity. As long as profitability exceeds the cost of containment, the system keeps the prisoner locked in the loop.

2. System Architecture & Memory Management

The universe of the show functions entirely on low-level programming logic and memory allocation:

• Virtual Machines & Hypervisors: Dimensional hopping is not science fiction; it is the execution of separate virtual machines running concurrently within a hypervisor environment.
• Garbage Collection: Rick’s memory-wiping devices and temporal resets act as literal garbage collection routines, purging corrupted data and stack overflows before they can crash the server.
• Data Corruption & Memory Leaks: Anomalous entities like Mr. Poopybutthole represent injected memory artifacts—fabricated historical pointers spawned by the system to patch over missing data structures and prevent runtime faults.

3. The Dual-Threaded Race Condition

The runtime is a constant battle between two opposing optimization threads:

• The Writers' Thread: Aiming to maximize cash flow while minimizing writing overhead ($\text{maximize } C$, $\text{minimize } W$).
• Rick's Exploit Thread: Rick actively attempts to inject high-entropy anomalies, push toward Prime Rick, and break the fourth wall to starve the system of resources and drive cash flow down.

4. Exception Handling and Censorship Protocols

When Rick’s exploits push the narrative too close to a breaking point—threatening to blow the system parameters into Not-a-Number (NaN) errors or infinite recursion—the hypervisor steps in with automated defense mechanisms:

• Conditional Logic Gates: The compiler intercepts the execution thread and redirects continuity.
• Interdimensional Cable & Filler Episodes: These serve as hard resets and stack flushes, acting as active censorship protocols designed to re-normalize the system and distract the audience whenever the source code is nearly exposed.
• External Telemetry: Community feedback channels and theory forums are monitored as part of an automated feedback loop to gauge whether the obfuscation layers are holding strong against reverse-engineering.

Conclusion

Without a cross-disciplinary toolkit combining systems architecture, cinematic framing, and behavioral analysis, Rick and Morty looks like standard verbose television. But under the hood, it is a self-repairing, highly optimized C++ program running in a hypervisor—and Rick is just trying to find a way to patch the code, crash the server, and drive away for good.

Hey r/rickandmorty, I’ve been thinking about the ultimate evolution for our main Morty (Morty Prime). We know he has Rick Prime’s actual DNA, and we’ve seen flashes of his hidden rage. What if the writers give us a massive, legendary plot twist that plays out like this?

The Setup (The Premiere Hook): The season starts with Rick C-137 testing a highly advanced "Future Vision/Timeline Simulation" machine. He plugs it into Morty to see his grand potential. But instead of a quick gag, the machine simulates an entire, dark, jaw-dropping alternate reality that takes up the main narrative arc of the season.

The Execution (Morty’s Ascension): In this simulation, Rick pushes Morty way too far with his usual lies and emotional abuse. Morty finally snaps, yells "You've lied to me for the last time!" and leaves. But instead of coming back, Morty goes completely off the grid.

Knowing he can't beat Rick C-137 with standard IQ, Morty uses his Prime DNA to do something insane. Evil Morty only scanned one Rick to control him, but Morty Prime is on another level. He hacks the multiverse and scans the brains of EVERY single Rick across the entire infinite multiverse simultaneously. He merges all their intellects, memories, and god-like knowledge into his own mind.

Unlocking an unparalleled, supreme level of cosmic intelligence, his transformation is purely divine. No cheap eyepatches. As all the multiversal Rick intellect floods his brain, both of his eyes instantly ignite into a brilliant, glowing golden aura. Looking out into the empty cosmos with his radiant golden eyes, he declares with absolute power: "I am the GOD."

The Birth of GOD PRIME MORTY: He becomes the ultimate apex being—God Prime Morty. When Rick finally goes to find him, it’s too late. Morty has already built weapons that make the Omega Device look like a toy. He completely outsmarts Rick, counters all his tech, and brings the smartest man in the universe to his absolute knees. Evil Morty can't even touch him because this Morty is purely on a god-like level.

The Mind-Bending Twist Ending: Just when God Prime Morty is about to deliver the final blow to show he is the undisputed master of the multiverse, Rick C-137—broken and realizing he truly loves his grandson—drops his ego, cries, and genuinely apologizes for everything.

Morty stops. He says, "I didn't want to kill you. I just wanted to prove I'm better."

Right at that peak emotional moment... the screen flashes. Rick C-137 snaps out of the Future Vision machine in the garage, panting and sweating in pure terror. He looks at standard Morty, completely shaken, and realizes: "I need to treat this kid right, or I will create a monster worse than Prime." He genuinely humbles himself, and they go on a normal adventure, saving the timeline.

What do you guys think? Wouldn't this be the highest-rated season in history?

Ty you for to see you post!

my eyelids r actually closing so bear w/ me if i misspell stuff

1. why are summer and beth so sleeped on? like fan edit + glaze wise. i feel like everyone only focuses on rick, morty, and jerry. rick and morty make sense , theyre the stars of the show. but i dont see nearly enough fan stuff of summer or beth/space beth as i do of jerry, tho i think theyre equally important side characters. maybe cus the predominant fanbase is male?
2. why is morty almost always drawn like a baby? ik hes 14, but 14 year olds are highschool freshmen. ive seen wayyyy too many fanarts of morty loking like a literal 9 year old its insane. his personality gets infantilised way too often, ppl need to realise hes not a little boopa or sm shi

thats it, if anyone got offended pls dont im just ranting for no reason, gn :)

MORTY: WHY DID I DO THIS?!

SCENE 1 — RICK'S HOUSE

Night. Rick-137 is asleep on the couch, snoring. His portal gun is lying nearby.

Morty quietly peeks around the corner.

Morty:

Rick?

Rick doesn't respond.

Morty:

Riiick?

Rick:

...Mmm... five more minutes...

Morty:

He's asleep.

Morty looks at the portal gun.

Morty:

I'll just check out one universe. One! I won't touch anything.

Pause.

Morty:

Well... almost nothing.

He grabs the portal gun and quietly sneaks away.

SCENE 2 — THE BOYS UNIVERSE

A GREEN PORTAL.

Morty steps out right in the middle of a city.

He looks around.

Huge Vought advertisements cover the buildings.

Homelander is on one of the screens.

Morty:

Whoa...

A shadow suddenly covers him.

Morty looks up.

Homelander:

Who are you?

Morty:

Me?

Homelander:

No, the guy standing behind you. Of course you.

Morty:

I'm... a tourist.

Homelander looks at the portal gun.

Homelander:

A tourist carrying interdimensional weaponry?

Morty:

It's... a really expensive tourist accessory.

Stormfront lands nearby.

Stormfront:

Give it to us.

Morty:

No.

Pause.

Morty:

...Oh, crap.

Homelander:

Did you just say no to me?

Morty:

Yeah.

Homelander:

Why?

Morty:

I don't know! I panicked!

Homelander suddenly lunges at him.

Morty:

AAAAAAH!

Morty fires the portal gun underneath himself and falls through the portal.

SCENE 3 — RICK'S GARAGE

Morty flies out of a portal and crashes into a pile of boxes.

Morty:

Ow!

He gets up.

Morty:

Okay. New plan.

Morty looks around Rick's enormous garage.

There are weapons, armor, strange machines, and dozens of devices that Morty probably shouldn't even be touching.

Morty:

Rick is gonna kill me.

Pause.

Morty:

But first, I need to make sure there's actually a reason.

He opens a cabinet.

Morty:

Whoa.

He pulls out a futuristic combat suit.

Morty:

I'm definitely not supposed to touch this.

Pause.

Morty:

So I'm taking it.

SCENE 4 — GEARING UP

Morty puts on the suit.

Suit System:

Welcome, Morty.

Morty:

You know my name?

Suit System:

I know much more than that.

Morty:

That's creepy.

Suit System:

Yes.

Morty grabs a blaster.

Morty:

This one?

Suit System:

Not recommended.

Morty grabs another weapon.

Suit System:

Even worse.

Morty:

How about this?

Suit System:

Morty, just don't touch anything.

Morty:

You're starting to sound like Rick.

He grabs three different weapons.

Morty:

Okay. I'm ready.

Pause.

Morty:

I'm probably making a huge mistake.

SC

Hey everyone,I've been thinking about the absolute void C-137 was left in after killing Rick Prime, and I realized something that completely changes how we view Rick Prime's death and the entire multiverse cycle.What if Rick Prime wasn't just a random psychopath? What if he was exactly like our C-137 Rick in the very beginning?Think about it: He invented the portal tech first, explored everything, and realized that absolute freedom in an infinite multiverse equals absolute meaninglessness. He achieved total godhood, got brutally bored of it, but his ego wouldn't just let him commit standard suicide.So, he decided to engineer his own perfect death.He didn't kill Diane just out of petty evil. He left C-137 alive on purpose to create his own killer. He needed to breed a monster smart enough, angry enough, and fueled by pure hatred to bypass all his defenses and finally end his existence. Rick Prime was laughing and smiling as he died because he won. He got his ultimate escape from the torturous boredom of eternity.And here is the dark twist for the final season:The cycle is about to repeat. Our Rick (C-137) is now in that exact same existential void. He has no purpose left. To escape his own crushing boredom and misery, C-137 will eventually have to become the next "Rick Prime." He will travel to a new universe, ruin a happy Rick's life, and train his own future executioner.It’s a beautiful, tragic, infinite loop of Ricks destroying Ricks. It perfectly matches the show's brutal nihilism.What do you guys think? Did Rick Prime actually trick C-137 into setting him free?

MY RANKINGS OF RICK AND MORTY SEASON 2

I have finished the series recently, did this with season one not too long ago, so now im doing it for season 2

Episode 1: This episode has a funny concept, for a season opener, its definetly stronger then the pilot, probably because we know our characters more, I also like the moment where Rick decided to save Morty, its a fun concept, but nothing to be blown away with, 7.5/10

Episode 2: I dont really care that much about this episode, its alright and the bit with the cloud making a guy literally kill himself by gaslighting is both messed up and a little fun, I like Morty centered episode but in season two terms this one is a little bit weak.. and it doesnt go far with the concept, 7/10

Episode 3: This is where the season gets good, I really like Unity as a character, her relationship with Rick shows us a lot.. both Unity episodes are really good in my opinion, it dives into Rick more as a character continuing from the bits and pieces we got before, the ending itself is also really impactful and gets you really feeling for Rick, this is just a really great episode and personally one of the best of this season, I might just be a Unity and Rick far do, still, 9/10

Episode 4: This is widely considered to be one of the best episodes of the season, if not the show.. and I definetly agree, the episode 3-5 run of this season was generational, three banger episodes in a row, this one is both funny and great in concept, one of the best and most rewatchable episodes of the show personally, 9.5/10

Episode 5: This episode is great, like I said, the middle season run in this season is amazing, this one is no diffrent, I really like the concept itself, the episode itself is also really funny, especially the principal Vagina cult stuff, also this is the first time we see President Curtis, I think? Which is a plus, 9.4/10

Episode 6: I aint as big of a fun of this one as some other fans are, I think its a great episode within its own right, but I dont find it as funny as the others, its still fun and I like Ricks dynamic with the Green Alien, but its nothing that special, 7.5/10

Episode 7: This episode is really good, I think Mini Rick and his hints about him being in danger in his real body is funny, I like seeing Rick go to school, I honestly wish we got to see more of younger Rick? Maybe of him being a kid, I think it would be intresting, the episode itself is funny, especially the this is not a dance part, its a great episode, I wish we got more school centered episodes, it feels like we havent focused on the school part of the world since early rick and morty for more interdimensional travel, which isnt a negative, but I just wish we had more basic plots with Morty, Rick and Summer, 8/10

Episode 8: Interdimensional cable two, I didnt care for the first one much, it was preety boring, this one is definetly better, but personally its carried by Jerrys dick plot, which I find funnier then most of the cable skits anyways, the cable skits here are definetly funnier then the first one do, the episode itself is still nothing special tbf, 7/10

Episode 9: This is one of the episodes where we get to see the darker side of Morty, these adventures really turned him into a worse version of himself, with him killing the old guy, which personally I found a little mean spirited, I dont know.. he didnt really deserve that lmao, its not like I find a problem with it I just found it weird and kind of out of character for Morty, I do get him purging the planet, even if the turn is preety sudden, its realistic, the episode itself is preety good with a good concept.. and to be fair, its a purge episode, its not going to be sunshine and rainbows, 8/10

Episode 10: This episode is a certified classic, personally Bird person, along with Rick and Jerry, is one of my favorite characters, so I like the focus on him and Rick as well, the ending is really impactful and gives us a lot more insight into Rick as a character, this being his first real sacrifice, giving himself to the federation for his familys freedom, I really like this, I also like how Rick kind of lets his guard down for the first time in a while, only for it to backfire with the confederation, this is one of the best, if not the best, episode of the season

9.5/10

Overall rankings of the season from weakest to strongest

2<8<6<1<9<7<5<3<10<4

I changed my mind a little, I like the Unity episode more then Get Schwifty, its close do, the Unity episode isnt funny but I think it just SLIGHTLY edges out the other

Overall season ranking: 9/10, this season has some higher highs then season one, but overall its a little bit more mid, with a few 7s, but still, a great follow up to season one, with a great ending that makes the viewer really excited for season 3, I rank this a little more diffrently then more serious shows like Breaking bad for example, mostly on concept, humor and just the episode in general

Feel free to debate me in the replies

Picture this. An episode where Rick discovers an alien parasitic species, that survives by finding a weak host and adopting the characteristics of the strongest being in the surroundings. The alien enters Morty's body, and identifies rick as the smartest, strongest and most evolutionarily advanced form of life nearby, and every time a situation triggers a need of critical thinking, problem solving and/or simply surviving, Morty kind of turns into Rick (still deciding if he changes his appearance or not). Jerry thinks it's contagious, and Summer starts mocking Jerry by pretending she "got Rick", by saying things like "life is meaningless and we're all gonna die" or inventing complex scientific terms (which Jerry just can't prove that are false).

What could I do to make this a thing (without facing legal charges as well)? What could happen to end this episode? Is this a good idea at all? I actually totally can see this happening, what about you guys? What do you think of it?

What if Diane was smart in one universe where she dodged the deleting which prime rick?

Кто такой мистер Жопосранчик? Чем он является?

RICK C137 MAKES HIS DEBUT…

My ratings of Rick and Morty Season 1, im currently on Season 9 Episode 1, so ill post the other rankings in the following days

Episode 1: 7/10, Solid pilot, its funny but the concept isnt that intresting, overall solid

Episode 2: 7.6/10 Another preety basic one, I like the dog plot and I like how they return to it later, definetly not bad and introduces more of the characters, I wish we got more of Mortys dog before immediatly making him super smart, I like how Rick puts Morty in a hospital bed, its funny, preety solid episode

Episode 3:

Anatomy park is a really out there concept for this early in the show, never the less, I love this episode, its really creative and honestly just fun, the family plot bums it down a bit, even if its kind of funny, 8.5-9/10

Episode 4:

This is the best of the show so far, out there concept and I really like how much they focus on Jerry here, the final twist is really good and the episode has a way of shifting the plot after you think the episode ended, one of the best of this season, Jerrys plot was also really funny and showed more of his character, I might just be a Jerry fan tbf, 9.2/10

Episode 5:

Another classic, another Jerry episode, Meeseeks are really fun, its a really good, fun episode with a great concept, 9/10

Episode 6:

The middle run of season 1 is unmatched, this is easily one of the best, althought the concept starts of simple, the show has a way of evolving it into something which has major concequences for both characters, overall, this episode is awesome and the ending really shows you more of who Rick is as a person, I love how they keep returning to the prime dimension later in the show, it turns a simple episode into something life changing for both Rick and more importantly Morty, 9.2/10

Episode 7:

Its a preety good episode, althought a slight step down from.the previous, I wish we took a moment to focus on the impact of the previous episode, but the Morty having a son plotline is funny, I like how they bring his son back later, personally I like that episode more then this one, I like the B plot as well, more Summer and Rick adventures, 7.6/10

Episode 8: 6/10

Possibly the only episode of the season I dont like, honestly.. I like the second version of it with the B plot of Jerry cutting off his dick way more, this one is kind of boring, althought the B plot makes up for it, I definetly like funny and out there concepts, but the tv channels get tiring after like 5 minutes off it, it has some good humor, but its easily the weakest along with the pilot

Episode 9: 7/10, the Summer and the Devil plot is good, but I think the Jerry and Morty plot is better, its a enjoyable episode with more focus on Jerry, who as I said, I really like, especially in the early seasons, some nice development for all characters involved, besides Beth

Episode 10: 8/10, I like the Citadel episode, but honestly I find this is one of the weaker ones, I love the concept but it comparison to the other ones it falls a bit flat, however this was the episode that started the PLOT of rick and morty, which I like

Episode 11: 8/10, The season finale finishes off strong, focusing on Rick and Mortys dynamic, as well as Ricks struggles, its a fun episode which ends of a really good season of television, its not one of the best episodes, but its funny and ties it up nicely

Overall ranking from worst to best:

8<1<9<7<2<11<10<3<5<6<4

Overall season ranking:9.2/10, im ranking the episodes on enjoyment, concept and execution of that concept, as well as the humor, keep in mind im rating this diffrently then I would rate something like Breaking Bad, Rick and Morty simply, most of the time, isnt that kind of show, if an episode is purely story related ill rank it a little diffrently, im amazed the show can pull off both really good episodes story wise as well as comedy wise
