it was so awesome to see how Jerry knows that you shouldn’t just replace someone just because you can, even if they’re the same person from another universe it doesn’t matter, it’s not the same. He said it perfectly, he didn’t want to leave, that was as perfect as it gets, that’s where he belongs.
Morty doesn't get it. When you lose someone, that's it, they're not coming back. Morty knows that he can easily replace them, that's why he doesn't get easily effected, everything can replace.
@@l0rdapophis It's more like he is weird rick grandson, rickest rick actually cares about his family more than other ricks that he cant even move on from their death. Morty resembles his real grandfather but he might change because he is taught by this rick.
You know the other crazy thing is that Morty's biological grandfather just killed his son in law and just referred to him as "a Jerry", saying he really wasn't familiar with the concept.
"Oh? Am I cool enough for you now? That was easy. It only cost me f%&king EVERYTHING." That's Jerry talking to the audience who likes him better this way.
I mean we could get the best of both worlds, since Jerry was both happy and a badass when the apocalypse happened, he was doing good all things considered while living with beth and summer
The way he says "Find you a new mom, a new Summer" like they're replaceable, reminds me of the fact that he also know that Mortys are essentially a product to be bought or sold.
Honestly it's a nice detail on how morty is becoming rick like over the seasons. At first he was traumatized at the fact that he left his real family and had to bury his corpse. Now he's offering this Jerry the option of a different family. Kinda glad Jerry said no and it shows that despite his life being ruined. He can't just go to a new reality like Rick does. Sad that he died at the end of this
@@blvkbevrd spoil what?? This video shows exactly what I said and I mentioned something morty did in season 1 so I don't know what I spoiled that hasn't already been spoleed
“Your Mom and sister died, Morty!” The delivery in that line was amazing. Other than feeling the pain Jerry had in that moment, you can also hear him emphasising to Morty that his *true* family are gone and Morty still had the nerve to treat them as disposable.
@@amitkenan3878 I still put more of the blame on Rick for making Morty think and act this way. Morty deserve the blame for abandon his family and sympathy for being controlled and manipulated by Rick. Because at the end of day. He is still just a child/teenager, being the assistant to a crazy f***** up syfy scientist. Who lost his family, desires revenge and then gave up sorta.
@@amitkenan3878 No way. This is Morty trying to cope and compensate in a twisted way. Rick don't even care, Rick is the onw who screwed the universe, kidnnaped Morty and make him act as nothing passed and he didn't even care.
@@xCoatlicuex I agree. Morty should be blamed for abandoning his original family. But Rick is to blame. For destroying the entire earth and turning all the humans into mutant monsters. Along with manipulating Morty into thinking everything is replaceable by zapping a portal gun and living a alternate reality and abandoning the other one easily and moving on.
@@amitkenan3878 Yep, he is the Rickest Rick's Morty. Our Rick never wanted to leave his original family. This Morty destroy his world and left without a second thought about his family. You really can't compare the two. Rick knows he isn't his grandson, hell, _he doesn't even have a grandson_. Our Rick is a broken, jaded, cynical, pseudo loner bringing bait around to not feel isolated. The Rick we know likely brought Morty out of pragmatism and got overly attached but he originally, probably still in a little way, resents him and his family for being related to the Rickest Rick.
“A new mom, a new summer” He’s still talking about his own family as if they’re interchangeable with alternate versions.the family he spent most his life with are dead and he just acts like it can be fixed. Hell, he knew they were alive and never went back for them all this time, he never took them somewhere safe when he had time. He wants things to be fixable just because he doesn’t want to face his own guilt
"A job." Really, Morty? You're aiming THAT low and playing that old song? This isn't season 2. And finally the tears at the end. Fucking pathetic. It's only NOW that the full gravity of the situation hits you and you think you have any sort of right to emotional catharsis? There's no escaping, Morty. You did this. You and Rick both. So man the hell up, own up, and have some fucking dignity.
@@oceanberserker Exactly. I dont blame Morty for the destruction of the human race. It was Rick's hands that turned something from a 'could mess with someone via love potion' to 'destroy the entire human race'. But not immediately coming back to get Beth, Summer and Jerry? Not pleading Rick to save them? That's on Morty. He just forgot about them. And then when he showed them off to Summer, he treated them as less then people cause they weren't a convenient part of his life.
@@9751matt Agree to disagree. Rick may have been the one to make the damn thing, but it was Morty who insisted on it when even a cursory experience with Rick should've taught him better.
Rick in this case is even less bad than him, because Rick never stopped grieving for his original family. Therefore he has no problem abandoning other versions of his family because they will never truly replace his own
When Morty did go back with his new reality's Summer, they tried to kill that Summer and hold Morty in that reality against his will. Of course he never went back to save them. None of them wanted to be saved, because that reality was better than any reality with Rick. Morty did care about them, but he also didn't want to live in a post-apocalyptic hell-hole, which is very fair. That Cronenberg reality Jerry, Beth, and Summer were the opposite extreme of toxicity as Morty is.
"Your mom and sister DIED Morty!" You can just hear the pain in his voice with that line. It came right after hearing his own son talk about his mom and sister like they were dinner plates.
Not only that but the part after he says "... and I moved on..... from caring...." you can hear how close he is to breaking only to bring him back to a point of numbness and anger at Morty not simply leaving him to exist alone in his emptiness.
Because that's the very essence of what this show was founded upon: "You are but a physical phenomenon and a form of technology and, new technology has made you obsolete and replaceable"
Jerry: You abandoned us Morty: Yeah but it improved you Never have I wanted to punch Morty so hard and I like Morty. This is like an abuser who excuses their actions for “Yeah but thanks to me ruining your life, you grew as a person”
Some people will say stuff like this. I think it’s because they really can’t say anything that will make what they’ve done any better and just grasp at straws to save their ego. Even the worst people still usually want to believe they are “good” people and when you give them clear evidence otherwise they will start reacting poorly.
Maybe this is the part of the show where the inbred fans realize the protagonists are the bad people and “pathetic loser Jerry” is the best of them and stop being edge lords
0:17 This part of the conversation captures how I feel about Jerry. People shit on him but his only sin is being an average Joe in a family of sociopaths. Imagine you never get any respect or appreciation by your family for "being a loser", when in reality, you are a far better person than the grandpa they idolize. And when you go through hell, your son (who killed humanity) has the only reaction of "but you are badass now". The guy doesn't deserve that.
Average Joe, tf you mean. He left his wife outside a car with groceries in both hands to fight a hobo trying to kill her. He can’t land a job for his life. He asked HIS OWN DAUGHTER to give him some money to get through the month because of how pathetic he is. Now I am not saying Rick is even close to a good person but: he was willing to sacrifice himself by getting erased or whatever so Morty could get out and be better than him, he gave up himself so that his family could stop being chased by the feds, and although he is a terrible father, you can really sympathize how painful it was for him to make a choice of sending his daughter to space and making a clone.
@@Zero95923 Ok I hear you out BUT This episode confirms that those visions of the Hobo are from an alternative Jerry So that probably didn't happened with the Jerry we know Second Most of those bad moments I blame the Writters to make Jerry a literal punchbag for the show Either way I haven't dissprove most of the things you said I'm just saying my pov
@@mikehawk4204 tbf you right on the punching bag part. He has definitely gotten better past season 2 I really liked this but I just kinda hate when people say when jerry is the most normal person. Though I will say his more human reactions are halarious.
Don't be mad that Prime Jerry is dead. Be happy that he existed, that he put every other Jerry in a new light, and that he gave his own Morty a much deserved reality check. RIP Prime Jerry. At least he already found peace.
" am i cool enough for you now?" Kinda seems like Jerry is also talking to the audience, like how everyone says that they prefer this badass but also very sad jerry, instead of every happy but also very dumb version of him.
Morty, you killed and murdered basically everyone that you ever cared about. If you just man up and asked the girl that you liked out instead of using a love potion, the people you loved and the others that grew up with you, would still be alive. Rick may have doomed the world with his experiments but you gave him the damn Idea.
By far, one of Jerry's finest moments. Hermit Jerry was Morty's original dad. He sired him and raised him for the first fourteen years of his life. As such, you can hear the anger, hurt, resentment, and betrayal on the speech he gives Morty. The "I'm cool enough" question reflects how angry he feels at Morty always sticking up with Rick, despite endangering him often, over him, who just wanted Morty to be safe. Jerry was forced to become cool by fighting a zombie apocalypse by himself and with the rest of his family. And he then lost his wife and daughter in the process of surviving. I also love how he calls out Morty on abandoning his family. He left with Rick and never came back, replacing the family he knew for a new one. The way he yells at Morty for not treating him and the rest of his original family like people shows how much respect he lost for Morty. His son chose to remain with Rick and his new family rather than risk Jerry. You can see how he's blaming Morty for the death of Beth and Summer because he chose an easier option rather than deal with a harsh reality. The thing about moving on shows a great way of dealing with grief that is undermined by cynicism and aloofness. Jerry doesn't want to replace his wife and daughter. He moved on and now knows how to survive in the universe that Morty destroyed. It's clear to him that Morty adopted Rick's coping mechanism of moving to different realities, so he refuses because he'd rather suffer and move on to a better life than just running away from it.
This Post right here is what I was searching for...the right actual explanation to this scene mortys consequences and the sad future of his family this is an excellent explanation that I truly needed
Very well said. A lot of people also want to point out how Jerry destroyed the other portal gun when morty came back just to give Summer and “I told you so” but they failed to realize that Jerry and the rest of the family were surviving in this hell hole caused by Rick and Morty, and Morty was just going to bail on them in the first place but OG Jerry was well aware of that and snagged the portal gun just so Morty can face the consequences that he’s caused. Morty never had an attachment to Jerry, and Jerry knew this. This episode really makes me appreciate all Jerry’s in general. Like the man will do anything for his kids, but they choose to put him down at any given moment because of how Toxic Rick is. This is best shown with how Beth treats Jerry now as oppose to seasons 1-3 where she would constantly belittle him, now seasons 4-6 she’s very much loves him for his quirks because she no longer seeks Ricks approval.
Thank you for this comment. You truly get it. I see a lot of depressed, angsty, edgy teenagers defending Morty and saying nothing matters. What pathetic cowards. They act as if they would abandon their families if they discovered there were other versions of them out there. I know for a fact I wouldn't.
But Morty DID come back. Not to fix anything or to save his family though. He came back to show them off like a zoo exhibit, a morality tale for the new Summer.
I actually never thought we'd see Morty see the repercussion of this and truly see what he and Rick did to his world, very nice to see that. I think Rick is too far gone to really care. Very nice to see Jerry slowly become a character people respect, in a weird way.
I don't think Rick is too far gone. The character growth he has experienced in the last two seasons show that he isn't beyond self-reflection and positive growth.
@@LoliLover36669 that sucks, i feel like this clip should have been how the episode ended with morty returning to his "replacement" family & Jerry walking away
Jerry is a prime example that the people you surround yourself with define you. He was never cool because his family would never allow him to be. Remember when he and Beth viewed alternate timelines during the Interdimensional Cable episode? The Jerry in the other timeline then was a movie star. He hung out with and fucked other movie stars. Beth, Morty, Summer, and Rick are all so toxic to him that it stunted him. they prevented him from growing, and when they aren't in his life, we see him become the extreme badass he is truly capable of being. So if you find yourself surrounded by toxic people, get out of there however you can. You could be a Jerry. So full of potential, but never given a chance to explore it, thanks to those around you.
I like how you turned this into a dramatic and inspiring life lesson without exaggerating any part of it but by just simply being real about it. This show is truly incredible.
0:49-0:56 It’s amazing how this Jerry went from simply seeing Rick simply as a disease to admitting that he was right. And without it being part of some desperate attempt to survive or needing to someone to tell him off.
Rick wasnt right, Jerry has lost every shred of a decent life and is now dead inside (and I guess outside since Rick Prime killed him), but the message here isnt that Rick was right all along, that is just the conclusion that damaged people come to when they are dealt a worse hand in life than they are capable of handling.
Rick wasn’t right though especially since he can’t get over the fact that his family was killed. No matter how badly he claims he wants to let go he can’t.
This hits even harder when you realize that under all that well-justified anger and sorrow at Morty's betrayal, there's likely still a part of him that loves Morty to the point he tried to kill someone who was going after him. He was a true Dad to his last moments.
I'm glad this was brought up. Morty has always been the most hypocritical character to me. Constantly, he was always judgemental of Rick for not caring about people and throwing them away, but Morty did the same thing to his family. *His original family.* Even when him and Summer went back, he didn't even show remorse for leaving them or affection for them. He left them to die. Twice. But he was using this to show Summer how careless and heartless *Rick* was. I'm glad he was finally called out for it
The word hypocrisy really just describes Morty and the entirety of his character. Sometimes I can even feel some of those mortiness creeping in the back of my mind.
Personally I think this scene was the most touching of episode 1, just seeing raw emotions spewing out from both Apocalypse Jerry and Morty, really shows they had seen better days and those memories were buried in the past.
It also opens a subtle parallel to what Morty was becoming for a good chunk of the series. Becoming what was essentially a mini Rick wasn't healthy for his character, and Apocalypse Jerry reflects that perfectly.
Well his story's done. He let go. If they let him live and then brought him back for any reason, that's ruining everything that makes him great. It doesn't matter whether he lives or dies at the end of the episode.
The clever twist on display here is how this doesn't actually deviate from Morty's regular character at all. He's so used to skipping universes with Rick and finding other versions of himself and his family on the course of adventures that somewhere along the way, his perception of all this became the new normal for him. He actually thinks that simply changing realities and pretending every day that nothing happened is something that anybody can do without a blink, and Jerry's here reminding him that not only can the average person NOT do that, but that it could viably be seen as a wildly awful thing to do.
This scene alone really hits you right in the heart itself dude. Cronenberg Jerry had the right to be mad at his actual son for abandoning them all these years. Seriously he never even thought about going back to his actual family and he’s convincing Jerry that he can give them a new family like their replacement to him. Morty seriously becoming one thing he hates the most is him turning into Rick. Seeing Morty crying made him realise that it’s all his fault for not coming back to them.
"Oh, am I cool enough for you now? That was easy! It only cost me F***ING EVERYTHING"! As a former people pleaser, I can't begin to describe how relatable this line is.
It's really sad how the first Smith family we saw ended, and too bad we won't get to see more of this Jerry. But he died as a mature survivor who became the person Rick never accomplished to be. As he said, he has lost as much as Rick, his children and wife, and he lives in a post-apocalyptic world full of cronenbergs only, but he found fulfillment anyway and found out how to move on and keep living his life in his own reality, instead of taking shortcuts with a portal gun, turning you into someone who doesn't care about anything and sees everything as replaceable toys. On top of it, he was the one who had a chance to face Rick Prime and kill him. And even though he failed, the reason he made that choice was to protect his own Morty, who abandoned his original family and left them to survive in the Cronenberg Reality. Now, that's what a real man would do.
The fact that he actually got pretty close to not just killing Rick, but Prime Rick, is a pretty epic way to die. Seen and belittled as less than nothing only to be the closest one to killing the universe's god in human form, being closer at doing so than Rick.
0:19 The most badass Jerry moment I have ever seen that you can feel his rage and sadness over what Morty and Rick have done, the fact that he accepts his reality will forever be something neither Rick or morty will ever do
Notice how Morty is still using Beth and Summer as something their dad can replace. This is such a great scene, and something I wish they'd done so much sooner, that people's lives are still important even if someone "doesn't care" or "gets used to it"
Morty had unsupervised access to Rick’s portal tech & weapons on many occasions, if he had truly cared about the family he abandoned he’d have rescued them from that terrible reality, but he didn’t.
"I deserve that. But you know, it improved you" Literally, one of the top words when the person who hurt someone tries to downplay their actions because that hurted person benefits from it in the end. Heck, some even try to claim their success "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have this" or "Well, I may you a better person so you own me"
Damn. The way he delivered this reality check to Morty is too real. You can just hear the ferocity of his sadness and anger in it. It makes you put everything in perspective that Jerry is the only one who gets it and give a shit
Not like the circumstances would've permitted anything else. But something tells me that he wonders if it would've just been easier to take a long walk of a tall cliff.
If he truly didn't love his son at all anymore he would have just killed him on sight for what he's done, instead he taught him a harsh lesson that he needed to learn and then moved on. Even this Jerry is a better father than Rick could ever be.
I always felt that this show was unnecessarily cruel to Jerry (especially this one) for no reason. When sh*t hit the fan Jerry stayed by his family instead of abandoning them like Rick and Morty did. Jerry is a very flawed man but he's leagues better than Rick and I feel Rick hates Jerry because of that one fact. Rick is smart but he is the absolute worst kind of person and he never uses his intellect for anyone but himself and yet he's miserable. Morty deserved to be told off because honestly he takes his family for granted especially Jerry, the man who raised him.
Only this Jerry did. Every other Jerry basically runs away and abandons his family (like when Beth was being chased by a homeless man trying to stab her and Jerry ran into the car and locked the doors to protect himself).
@@jish55 Jerry survives. Sometimes surviving means throwing others under the bus. Sometimes it means banding together with the only others around who can help with the hunting and security. Whatever gives him the best shot at surviving is what Jerry will do.
Not really, his ego got his family killed. He should've taken Morty's offer back in season 2 instead of smashing the portal gun. He wanted to stay in the hellhole instead of returning to society. He knows the moment they reintegrated into society that his Summer and Beth would go back to disrespecting him.
The hardest part for me here is that Morty offered to give Jerry a new family. He didn't offer to be his son again. That's his father. This isn't an alternate universe version of his father. That is literally his universe's dad. Even now, Morty is a callous, uncaring brat who thinks he can make it all right again by pawning Jerry off on somebody else instead of taking responsibility. Jerry was right to kick him to the curb.
i think thats because he viewed rick wrong. rick also looks like an uncaring bratt that would never do anything for anyone. but now we know he never stopped grieving about his real family, the altarnate universes doesnt mean anything to him cuz he knows it wouldnt be the same. morty didnt get that, so he thinks the only way to cope is not giving any shits, he thinks he can fix anything with different universes now
@@vibezonegaming Literally nothing he said was gaslighting. Jerry did lose everything and Morty did leave them to die in a world he ruined. He wasn’t even doing it to hurt him. As he said, he walked away from caring.
@@vibezonegaming I don't think he was gaslighting him. I believe he was trying to teach him one last lesson. He ultimately tries to kill Prime Rick, ONLY after he says he's looking for Morty and Rick. He still cares about Morty in some form, but just accepts his fate. This Jerry deserved better.
I think what makes it hurt so much that he told Morty off is that he isn't deranged or wild. He's rambling about Batman and doing his camp guy stuff. He's not just somewhere in there, he's right there in front of us, Jerry Smith, not changed near as much as we want to believe, but he's done with his son. Even with that in mind, he's got no real malice towards him either, and even took a long shot at giving Morty a head start against Rick prime. So the fact that he's telling him to fuck off here shows he means it at the bottom of his heart. You can't simply undo that bond, but neither can you ever undo that betrayal. Jerry hasn't actually changed at all, and yet he's not Morty's father anymore. All that's left is for Morty to accept his own responsibility.
“Rick was always right, everyone needs to let go.” The last words this Jerry heard from the “Smartest Man In The Universe” was that love is nothing but a chemical reaction that compels animals to mate. This statement was meant for Morty, but it hit Jerry the hardest, years later.
Is it wierd that Morty talks about finding Jerry a new Beth and Summer like someone wanting to replace a lost object? I mean they have the possibility but it´s still f*cked up that when they mess up they go to another universe, move and on and pretend nothing happend.
People need to remember. The damage was caused by Rick... Morty didn't understand the side effects... Rick did... the man basically handed world destroying weapon to a CHILD.... And then put that child through so much toxic abuse that the child became jaded and more uncaring about death and stuff... I mean, think about it, Morty is now someone who could cut off his own limbs without fear... he could now shrug off hellishness and starving to death.... Rick put the boy through too much sh*t... In the same way that Jerry became more cruel.... so did Morty.... Think about it, did OG Morty even know they were alive??? And by the time he did find out, they were insane and trying to kill his other version of his sister.... He's not caring because Rick put him through so much sh*t he can't care.... everything is replaceable... Morty's cruelty is due to Rick's selfishness... and Morty got used to that... But here is the kicker... Morty is crying because he cares... he can try to hide it... he can lie to himself... but deep down.... he cares... he just was unwilling to admit it.... same as Rick... same as Jerry....
Look how Morty continues to talk about how interchangeable his own family is. He is talking to his real father here, not just the one he chose to replace him with. He is responsible for killing his family, and he thought nothing of it up until his father confronted him with it. Don’t pretend he’s the victim, he’s another perpetrator. Rick is fucked up, but so is Morty in a very different way.
@@Rexis102 Yeah they're both fucked up, but it's pretty clear that Morty's disregard to his original family and thinking how replaceable his family is due to Rick's influence.
Its rough knowing that Jerry is a loving man and he loves his family probably more than they would ever do. And it shows a lot people don't care you are family loving man. But when you become badass and cool they know how much you've lost or sacrifice be like that.
Man, they did this Jerry (Prime Jerry) dirty in the end ! I hope they see how much the fans and viewers liked him and bring him back !!! I wouldnt even mind him as a frequent recurring character like space beth!!
Seeing a lot of hate for Morty, and while it’s important that he face the consequences of his actions, he’s still a kid. Him offering to make jerry happier by taking him to a better reality is a symptom of Mortys toxic relationship with Rick.
Wow, you can truly hear the pain and anger in Jerry's voice in his delivery. And hearing Morty try to make the claim of "find a new mom and summer" shows he has become as disconnected as Rick.
I love this scene. Morty deserved every word of it. He left his family to rot and to add to that he offered Jerry a new reality to replace them as if they meant nothing to him.
Whatever could have repaired the relationship is forever shattered and it's sad to see the Jerry we all know into a cold hearted and uncaring man that is forever broken by the fact he lost his wife and daughter and was abandoned not once but twice by his own son.
"and that is the best deal you will ever get.... so TAKE IT!" one of the harshest lines in the series, and yet, wonderfully delivered. from Jerry's point of view, morty destroyed the world, then froze and killed his family. and this is morty's true dad, and he is that saying that he knows things can't be fixed, and doesn't want things to be 'fixed' becasue rick and morty never 'fix things' they run away from them. Jerry doesn't, he just deals with it...its part fo the reason I feel Jerry is the anti-rick in the show, they have completely different coping mechanisms.
You know Jerry was right when he said Rick was a terrible influence on Morty. When things went wrong on the Earth because of their actions, Morty bailed and abandoned his family. Not once did he ever think or consider or think about going back to save them or get them off the planet to a safer planet or universe. Morty just got himself a new family and didn't think twice about his original one. Jerry rightfully calls Morty out on this and just shows contempt and disgust for when Morty after he offers to find him a new family. That isn't going to fix anything. Jerry is actually dealing with his grief, while both Rick and Morty just universe hop to get away from it all.
This jerry is a badass and the fact that he gave rick credit shows he's really grown excellent character development wish we could see more of him rest in peace
This is why I like Jerry and always feel bad for him. All he wants is to just be a dad, have a family and be there for them. Instead he gets treated as a human punching bag and lightning rod for ridicule simply because was normal and not cool.
This is the MOAB for emotional damage, in my opinion. I can’t imagine reuniting with one of my parents and trying to fix it, just for them to tell me “I don’t love you anymore, I moved on”. That’s not a knife to the heart, that’s a .50cal BMG round at point blank range.
Because too much time has passed between then and now and Morty isn't offering any of what he is to help his father, but solely to assuage his own guilt. Which in no uncertain terms is selfish in the worst way possible.
I mean it's basically kinda of an inverse abandoning father situation. They just bailed, left you alone with no explanation and then years later when you moved on with your life they come back like "Hey son/daughter, I know I wasn't there for you all these years but hey, now I want to make things right, what if we play that game we used to enjoy when you were little" expecting you to act as if anything changed. People change and people have the right to move on and deserve to live even when you are gone.
Jerry wasn't kidding with "You abandoned us", at Morty because one he did left them to freeze and Morty talked about getting Jerry a new mom and summer like they can be replace. But Jerry already knew that if doing so it wouldn't be the same as it would be just some kind of sick dream.
Its nice that Morty admits he messed up but it isn't entirely his fault when he is a kid influenced by Rick offering him endless possibilities. And honestly, they could always clone them to make something remain alive from them. Either way, I think after all that mess Jerry still went easy on him, he could kill him but he only took his stuff and gave him the type of harsh lesson that likely wont even affect him in later episodes
lessons of this episode hit hard from home... just because you move to another universe with a new version of your family doesn't make you move on. you're just repeating the same mistakes and not take responsibility to the point you're going through a loop.
This episode was great. Morty never took responsibility, and he seems so tone deaf here. He should have begged for forgiveness. The fact that he tried to reconnect by playing a fucking board game from his childhood shows it's about him and not the people he hurt which is more naivety than narcissism. Ricks toxicity has him stunted him i think.
Reading these comments, I think people forget Morty is still very very young and has grown up with Rick as a Role model at that. Even if he deserved worse, or has lived/experienced more than any teenager his age could possibly dream of, he’s still a kid and Jerry’s son. Jerry isn’t trying hurt him, he’s telling the truth and not actively trying to hurt a family member you sick weirdos. It doesn’t matter if he abandoned them, maliciousness like that is something only a deranged person would resort to, not a wise father
I guess a lot of people just felt the desensitiveness and "eh I don't really care anymore" Morty has and it's a part of his character trait now. That's why people dislike the way he acted as if nothing ever happened in the first place and he could just make up for it the fact that the whole reality was doomed and Morty's own real family was gone with it too.
And you think this Jerry isn't deranged? Watches the entire world turn into abominations, his wife and daughter are dead, his son abandoned him for a cushy life in another dimension, and he's literally the last man on earth? I'd go frickin nuts in his place.
I know this scene makes look Morty as the one that ruined his original dimension, and I am not denying his part, but the one that ruined it in a bigger scale was in fact Rick. He was narcicistic and irresponsable enough to give a teen a love potion, without thinking about every possible way that could go wrong despite how obvious it was. Rick gave morty the means to roofie Jessica, he even admits it in front of Morty and piles the blame on him when in fact it was HIM who gave Morty the love potion in the first place. You just dont hand a teen something like that and expect everything to go well. As an adult he should have either give him better adivise (wich was never gonna happen) or take him to someone who can adress the situation. "Nothing really matters, so it's the same if I let my grandson roofie someone else as long as he leaves me in peace". That is what I felted when he so easely gave the love potion to Morty. What dod you exepected a teen like Morty to do? He didn't knew much better back then when he wanted things easy, but he could have had a better guideance and learn.
Well morty trying to roofie Jessica is bad on it’s own, I agree though that it’s mostly ricks fault for destroying the world. However it’s everything morty did after that makes him a piece of shit. This was his real family, the people that birthed and raised him, and he never came back for them. Now after all this time, after his dad is the only one still alive, he has that audacity to defend his actions by saying “it made you better.” Then he offers to give his dad a new family like they’re replaceable, and maybe a lot of this is a result of the trauma Rick has put morty through, but still, morty could have gone back to help them, and instead forgot about them
I dont think anyone is debating that rick messed up the whole world, but thats what he does. Rick is essentially a rabbid dog, he's just going to do whatever self destructive thing he feels like with no sense of responsibility and will just go somewhere else when he needs. As much of this is rick's doing, morty is more culpable due to his still existing sense of morality. Morty new better than to get rick to make something that was essentially a roofie, he knew it was wrong and he knew leaving their world for a new one was wrong, still he went along with it and even pushed rick to do it. Meanwhile rick didnt even consider the consequences because this already isnt his world. Its meaningless and replacable to him.
This. This right here, is why Ricks hate Jerries. Because EVERY Jerry has this in them, could be this, could be strong, could stand up for themselves and tell him off, could exist on their own, could be something a Rick can respect... but pretty much all of them choose not to.
Keep in mind back when Prime universe got cronenberged, Rick took an extremely traumatized Morty and placed him into another perfect sandbox of his old reality and reinforced over and over again that everything is okay and they're just gonna go with it-- and this happened several more times. Rick taught a developing Morty that people can be replaceable because you can just yoink one from another dimension or hop and abandon, completely forgetting the last place as if pressing a reset button-- this is how he's taught Morty to deal with his trauma. It's only this episode that he's faced with the cold hard fact that he was a shitty person, cross-dimensional, and that he's left behind pain and hatred because of it.
Funny thing is that even Rick truly doesn’t think people are replaceable given his relationship/refusal to given up on his original family revenge or original BirdPerson. He conditioned Morty to be even worse than himself
At first I felt bad for Morty getting chewed out by Jerry, but then I remember this was Morty's real dad. A dad he abandoned because he royally screwed up that dimension over a girl he liked. Morty became Rick at that moment, dropping one reality for another, and now treating Beth and Summer as something he can easily replace for Jerry, who has shouldered resentment for years over his son's stupidity. Jerry finally growing a pair felt pretty good to watch, honestly.
When you realize Jerry let off Morty easy when he had all the justification in the world to kill him he even states it saying he moved on from caring and that's the best Morty could get if Jerry still cared Morty would have been slashed like rick
Are we gonna forget that the citadel of ricks froze his family and not morty and on top of that he was taken away so he wouldn’t have been able to save them in time
To be fair, they wouldnt have had to be frozen if Morty didnt teleport himself and summer to this reality which was to try and prove his point that Rick was bad
I always tought Rick was the biggest bad guy in this show but now I'm starting to think it's Morty. This Morty was the worst thing to ever happen to this reallity and maybe even others. Even Prime Rick didn't do this much damage (that we have seen so far).
Except the damage was caused by Rick... Morty didn't understand the side effects... Rick did... the man basically handed world destroying weapon to a CHILD.... And then put that child through so much toxic abuse that the child became jaded and more uncaring about death and stuff... I mean, think about it, Morty is now someone who could cut off his own limbs without fear... he could now shrug off hellishness and starving to death.... Rick put the boy through too much sh*t... In the same way that Jerry became more cruel.... so did Morty.... Think about it, did OG Morty even know they were alive??? And by the time he did find out, they were insane and trying to kill his other version of his sister.... He's not caring because Rick put him through so much sh*t he can't care.... everything is replaceable...
I think labeling anyone a "good guy" or "bad guy" on this show misses the point. If there are infinite universes, then there are an infinite number of Morty's who do shit like this. And there are also an infinite number of Morty's who do the opposite. These events are all inevitable, because ALL events are inevitable. "Morty" is as much a hero as he is a villain, because there are an infinite number of realities where either are true. And now that the central finite curve has been destroyed, the same is true for Rick. They are both trapped by inevitability, as are we all...
@@TheDeathmail Also on top of that, the one ideal version of his life we've seen where he was with the girl Jerry accidentally reset, Rick is suspiciously absent from the whole montage of his time with her. Feel like that was an intentional nod to the fact that his life is happier when someone in his life is more important than Rick.
Considering how OP prime Rick is he could bring this Jerry back to life and seeing how much people like this Jerry I could see them doing that in some kind of twisted way 🤷🏿♂️😅 I mean he was only shot in the head Rick could find a way out of that 🧐🤣
Nah. It wouldn't be the same Jerry because Prime Rick has been quite clear he works alone. So the only way for that to happen would be for him to make this Jerry a servant forced to obey him which would cheapen this Jerry's character because he found freedom in the apocalypse. Once he ran into Rick Prime he was dead, at least he went out like a badass.
Jerry has been literally shredded apart in a hail of gunfire before and they brought him back without even really trying. So yeah it's possible, hell they did the same thing for bird person.
Prime Rick killed him, at least we see him shoot this Jerry in one of the adult swim videos that explain how this morty is prime Rick morty n Rick is trapped in a version of the house with his wife talking to him out of sight
As amazing as this episode is, it also highlights the series' problems. Hermit Jerry could've been a great deconstruction of what happens to all these expanded worlds only to get killed off unceremoniously. What a waste
The main issue when the entire cast is written as jerks, i like the show but they take the "everyone being a piece of shit" to an extreme like south park but failing at doing so
@@ishiddddd4783 South Park has been doing that for well over a decade so it's only natural. In comparison, Rick & Morty just does a bad job. Someone already pointed this out, but I personally felt no sympathy when Morty started to cry. I can empathize with him feeling bad, but he can't handle his biological father snapping back at him. I need to rewatch the 1st season to remember if Morty actually ever treat his own father like crap, but even if that wasn't the case Jerry still has the right to be angry at Morty.
They could still make it into a Spin-Off just like the Vindicators. In that way we can see what Jerry and the Rest of the Family has been doing when Rick and Morty leave that Universe.
it was so awesome to see how Jerry knows that you shouldn’t just replace someone just because you can, even if they’re the same person from another universe it doesn’t matter, it’s not the same. He said it perfectly, he didn’t want to leave, that was as perfect as it gets, that’s where he belongs.
Morty doesn't get it. When you lose someone, that's it, they're not coming back. Morty knows that he can easily replace them, that's why he doesn't get easily effected, everything can replace.

Hits hard knowing that this Jerry is Morty's first dad, his real dad.
You know the other crazy thing is that Morty's biological grandfather just killed his son in law and just referred to him as "a Jerry", saying he really wasn't familiar with the concept.

It really seems like Jerry does best when he is out of civilization. Like that episode he leads all the rejects.
"Oh? Am I cool enough for you now? That was easy. It only cost me f%&king EVERYTHING."
That's Jerry talking to the audience who likes him better this way.
Yeah, because he's cooler this way. Even that line was cool AF. One might say him losing everything so he can be this cool was... worth it?
I mean we could get the best of both worlds, since Jerry was both happy and a badass when the apocalypse happened, he was doing good all things considered while living with beth and summer

@@dr8go sounds like a skill issue
The way he says "Find you a new mom, a new Summer" like they're replaceable, reminds me of the fact that he also know that Mortys are essentially a product to be bought or sold.
Morty's a Jerk, he never offered his REAL family a better universe or this Jerry to be his Dad again
Honestly it's a nice detail on how morty is becoming rick like over the seasons.
At first he was traumatized at the fact that he left his real family and had to bury his corpse.
Now he's offering this Jerry the option of a different family. Kinda glad Jerry said no and it shows that despite his life being ruined. He can't just go to a new reality like Rick does.

@@amitkenan3878 I still put more of the blame on Rick for making Morty think and act this way. Morty deserve the blame for abandon his family and sympathy for being controlled and manipulated by Rick. Because at the end of day.

@@amitkenan3878 Yep, he is the Rickest Rick's Morty. Our Rick never wanted to leave his original family. This Morty destroy his world and left without a second thought about his family.
You really can't compare the two. Rick knows he isn't his grandson, hell, _he doesn't even have a grandson_. Our Rick is a broken, jaded, cynical, pseudo loner bringing bait around to not feel isolated. The Rick we know likely brought Morty out of pragmatism and got overly attached but he originally, probably still in a little way, resents him and his family for being related to the Rickest Rick.

"A job." Really, Morty? You're aiming THAT low and playing that old song? This isn't season 2. And finally the tears at the end. Fucking pathetic. It's only NOW that the full gravity of the situation hits you and you think you have any sort of right to emotional catharsis? There's no escaping, Morty. You did this. You and Rick both. So man the hell up, own up, and have some fucking dignity.
@@oceanberserker Exactly.
I dont blame Morty for the destruction of the human race. It was Rick's hands that turned something from a 'could mess with someone via love potion' to 'destroy the entire human race'.
But not immediately coming back to get Beth, Summer and Jerry? Not pleading Rick to save them? That's on Morty. He just forgot about them. And then when he showed them off to Summer, he treated them as less then people cause they weren't a convenient part of his life.
@@9751matt Agree to disagree. Rick may have been the one to make the damn thing, but it was Morty who insisted on it when even a cursory experience with Rick should've taught him better.
Rick in this case is even less bad than him, because Rick never stopped grieving for his original family. Therefore he has no problem abandoning other versions of his family because they will never truly replace his own
When Morty did go back with his new reality's Summer, they tried to kill that Summer and hold Morty in that reality against his will. Of course he never went back to save them. None of them wanted to be saved, because that reality was better than any reality with Rick. Morty did care about them, but he also didn't want to live in a post-apocalyptic hell-hole, which is very fair. That Cronenberg reality Jerry, Beth, and Summer were the opposite extreme of toxicity as Morty is.

"Your mom and sister DIED Morty!"
You can just hear the pain in his voice with that line. It came right after hearing his own son talk about his mom and sister like they were dinner plates.
Not only that but the part after he says "... and I moved on..... from caring...." you can hear how close he is to breaking only to bring him back to a point of numbness and anger at Morty not simply leaving him to exist alone in his emptiness.
Makes him infinitely better than rick who also lost his wife and daughter.
I mean he did leave out the part about him trying to kill the current Summer in cold blood before all that. :P
Didn't morty say that AFTER Jerry said that?
Because that's the very essence of what this show was founded upon:
"You are but a physical phenomenon and a form of technology and, new technology has made you obsolete and replaceable"
Jerry: You abandoned us
Morty: Yeah but it improved you
Never have I wanted to punch Morty so hard and I like Morty. This is like an abuser who excuses their actions for “Yeah but thanks to me ruining your life, you grew as a person”
There are people like that out in the real world using that kind of logic.
Some people will say stuff like this. I think it’s because they really can’t say anything that will make what they’ve done any better and just grasp at straws to save their ego. Even the worst people still usually want to believe they are “good” people and when you give them clear evidence otherwise they will start reacting poorly.
"Sorry, I can't pay for the commision anymore.

0:17 This part of the conversation captures how I feel about Jerry.
People shit on him but his only sin is being an average Joe in a family of sociopaths. Imagine you never get any respect or appreciation by your family for "being a loser", when in reality, you are a far better person than the grandpa they idolize. And when you go through hell, your son (who killed humanity) has the only reaction of "but you are badass now".
The guy doesn't deserve that.
He was deemed cool after being mentally fucked up too
Finally someone who can actually get it
Respect man
Average Joe, tf you mean. He left his wife outside a car with groceries in both hands to fight a hobo trying to kill her. He can’t land a job for his life. He asked HIS OWN DAUGHTER to give him some money to get through the month because of how pathetic he is. Now I am not saying Rick is even close to a good person but: he was willing to sacrifice himself by getting erased or whatever so Morty could get out and be better than him, he gave up himself so that his family could stop being chased by the feds, and although he is a terrible father, you can really sympathize how painful it was for him to make a choice of sending his daughter to space and making a clone.

By far, one of Jerry's finest moments. Hermit Jerry was Morty's original dad. He sired him and raised him for the first fourteen years of his life. As such, you can hear the anger, hurt, resentment, and betrayal on the speech he gives Morty.
The "I'm cool enough" question reflects how angry he feels at Morty always sticking up with Rick, despite endangering him often, over him, who just wanted Morty to be safe. Jerry was forced to become cool by fighting a zombie apocalypse by himself and with the rest of his family. And he then lost his wife and daughter in the process of surviving.
I also love how he calls out Morty on abandoning his family. He left with Rick and never came back, replacing the family he knew for a new one. The way he yells at Morty for not treating him and the rest of his original family like people shows how much respect he lost for Morty. His son chose to remain with Rick and his new family rather than risk Jerry. You can see how he's blaming Morty for the death of Beth and Summer because he chose an easier option rather than deal with a harsh reality.
The thing about moving on shows a great way of dealing with grief that is undermined by cynicism and aloofness. Jerry doesn't want to replace his wife and daughter. He moved on and now knows how to survive in the universe that Morty destroyed. It's clear to him that Morty adopted Rick's coping mechanism of moving to different realities, so he refuses because he'd rather suffer and move on to a better life than just running away from it.
This Post right here is what I was searching for...the right actual explanation to this scene mortys consequences and the sad future of his family this is an excellent explanation that I truly needed
Very well said. A lot of people also want to point out how Jerry destroyed the other portal gun when morty came back just to give Summer and “I told you so” but they failed to realize that Jerry and the rest of the family were surviving in this hell hole caused by Rick and Morty, and Morty was just going to bail on them in the first place but OG Jerry was well aware of that and snagged the portal gun just so Morty can face the consequences that he’s caused. Morty never had an attachment to Jerry, and Jerry knew this. This episode really makes me appreciate all Jerry’s in general. Like the man will do anything for his kids, but they choose to put him down at any given moment because of how Toxic Rick is. This is best shown with how Beth treats Jerry now as oppose to seasons 1-3 where she would constantly belittle him, now seasons 4-6 she’s very much loves him for his quirks because she no longer seeks Ricks approval.
This is a awesome comment
Thank you for this comment. You truly get it.
I see a lot of depressed, angsty, edgy teenagers defending Morty and saying nothing matters. What pathetic cowards.
They act as if they would abandon their families if they discovered there were other versions of them out there. I know for a fact I wouldn't.
But Morty DID come back. Not to fix anything or to save his family though. He came back to show them off like a zoo exhibit, a morality tale for the new Summer.
I actually never thought we'd see Morty see the repercussion of this and truly see what he and Rick did to his world, very nice to see that. I think Rick is too far gone to really care. Very nice to see Jerry slowly become a character people respect, in a weird way.

Your Mom and Sister DIED MORTY!!!
gosh its like i can feel both the venom and pain in his voice when delivering these lines
Jerry is a prime example that the people you surround yourself with define you. He was never cool because his family would never allow him to be. Remember when he and Beth viewed alternate timelines during the Interdimensional Cable episode? The Jerry in the other timeline then was a movie star. He hung out with and fucked other movie stars. Beth, Morty, Summer, and Rick are all so toxic to him that it stunted him. they prevented him from growing, and when they aren't in his life, we see him become the extreme badass he is truly capable of being.
So if you find yourself surrounded by toxic people, get out of there however you can. You could be a Jerry. So full of potential, but never given a chance to explore it, thanks to those around you.
I like how you turned this into a dramatic and inspiring life lesson without exaggerating any part of it but by just simply being real about it. This show is truly incredible.
That is such a powerful revelation, and I agree completely.
Es como Meg griffin
0:49-0:56 It’s amazing how this Jerry went from simply seeing Rick simply as a disease to admitting that he was right. And without it being part of some desperate attempt to survive or needing to someone to tell him off.
Jerry is the one who needs to be telling people off.
simply seeing simple ricks simple simplicity
Rick wasnt right, Jerry has lost every shred of a decent life and is now dead inside (and I guess outside since Rick Prime killed him), but the message here isnt that Rick was right all along, that is just the conclusion that damaged people come to when they are dealt a worse hand in life than they are capable of handling.
But if you noticed, this jerry showed to be better than Rick and that’s by not replacing his original family
Rick wasn’t right though especially since he can’t get over the fact that his family was killed. No matter how badly he claims he wants to let go he can’t.
This hits even harder when you realize that under all that well-justified anger and sorrow at Morty's betrayal, there's likely still a part of him that loves Morty to the point he tried to kill someone who was going after him. He was a true Dad to his last moments.
I'm glad this was brought up.
Morty has always been the most hypocritical character to me. Constantly, he was always judgemental of Rick for not caring about people and throwing them away, but Morty did the same thing to his family. *His original family.* Even when him and Summer went back, he didn't even show remorse for leaving them or affection for them. He left them to die. Twice. But he was using this to show Summer how careless and heartless *Rick* was.
I'm glad he was finally called out for it
The word hypocrisy really just describes Morty and the entirety of his character. Sometimes I can even feel some of those mortiness creeping in the back of my mind.

It also opens a subtle parallel to what Morty was becoming for a good chunk of the series. Becoming what was essentially a mini Rick wasn't healthy for his character, and Apocalypse Jerry reflects that perfectly.

“A new mom, a new summer”
You can tell Morty is spending too much time with Rick when he’s seeing his family as replaceable.
The clever twist on display here is how this doesn't actually deviate from Morty's regular character at all. He's so used to skipping universes with Rick and finding other versions of himself and his family on the course of adventures that somewhere along the way, his perception of all this became the new normal for him. He actually thinks that simply changing realities and pretending every day that nothing happened is something that anybody can do without a blink, and Jerry's here reminding him that not only can the average person NOT do that, but that it could viably be seen as a wildly awful thing to do.
This scene alone really hits you right in the heart itself dude. Cronenberg Jerry had the right to be mad at his actual son for abandoning them all these years. Seriously he never even thought about going back to his actual family and he’s convincing Jerry that he can give them a new family like their replacement to him.
Morty seriously becoming one thing he hates the most is him turning into Rick. Seeing Morty crying made him realise that it’s all his fault for not coming back to them.
"Oh, am I cool enough for you now? That was easy! It only cost me F***ING EVERYTHING"!
As a former people pleaser, I can't begin to describe how relatable this line is.
“Oh am I cool enough for you now? Well that was easy, it only costed me FUCKING EVERYTHING!” My favorite line from Jerry in this entire show.
"It only cost me ****ing everything"
Rawest shit Jerry's ever said
It's really sad how the first Smith family we saw ended, and too bad we won't get to see more of this Jerry. But he died as a mature survivor who became the person Rick never accomplished to be. As he said, he has lost as much as Rick, his children and wife, and he lives in a post-apocalyptic world full of cronenbergs only, but he found fulfillment anyway and found out how to move on and keep living his life in his own reality, instead of taking shortcuts with a portal gun, turning you into someone who doesn't care about anything and sees everything as replaceable toys. On top of it, he was the one who had a chance to face Rick Prime and kill him. And even though he failed, the reason he made that choice was to protect his own Morty, who abandoned his original family and left them to survive in the Cronenberg Reality. Now, that's what a real man would do.
I wanted this Jerry to hook up with Space Beth. But this works too. Damn shame on the ending. Least he took a swing back at Rick.
The fact that he actually got pretty close to not just killing Rick, but Prime Rick, is a pretty epic way to die. Seen and belittled as less than nothing only to be the closest one to killing the universe's god in human form, being closer at doing so than Rick.
Damn, Kronenburg Jerry and Space Beth would be super badass
@@TomboTime well it was also showed before that most Jerry and Beth are very successful people if they did not marry each other
0:19 The most badass Jerry moment I have ever seen that you can feel his rage and sadness over what Morty and Rick have done, the fact that he accepts his reality will forever be something neither Rick or morty will ever do
Notice how Morty is still using Beth and Summer as something their dad can replace. This is such a great scene, and something I wish they'd done so much sooner, that people's lives are still important even if someone "doesn't care" or "gets used to it"
Morty: It improved you
Jerry: I moved on from caring
It didn't improve him, it killed him. Jerry is a survivor now.
Morty had unsupervised access to Rick’s portal tech & weapons on many occasions, if he had truly cared about the family he abandoned he’d have rescued them from that terrible reality, but he didn’t.
That scene hits hard. This was Morty's real dad. Chris Parnell did a damn fine job voicing this scene.
"I deserve that. But you know, it improved you"
Literally, one of the top words when the person who hurt someone tries to downplay their actions because that hurted person benefits from it in the end. Heck, some even try to claim their success "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have this" or "Well, I may you a better person so you own me"
Yeah it almost sounded abusive. Morty is probably mentally deranged and delusional enough not to see where the problems are.
He's so pissed off he regained his sanity and confidence
Damn. The way he delivered this reality check to Morty is too real. You can just hear the ferocity of his sadness and anger in it. It makes you put everything in perspective that Jerry is the only one who gets it and give a shit
0:25 “You came back and talked about us like we weren’t people Morty,” love that line.
Justin just got done with a beer and beating his wife before he was like,
"This Jerry is not allowed to live.
He stinks of greatness!"
😂😂
Never thought I’d see Jerry like this 😳
It's deserved after what both Rick amd Morty did, but sad he died before we get to explore his side.
Not like the circumstances would've permitted anything else. But something tells me that he wonders if it would've just been easier to take a long walk of a tall cliff.
People have limits and eventually change for better or worse.

He said that he doesn’t care anymore, but his expressions tell otherwise…
The point is that he’s moved on.
If he truly didn't love his son at all anymore he would have just killed him on sight for what he's done, instead he taught him a harsh lesson that he needed to learn and then moved on. Even this Jerry is a better father than Rick could ever be.
I always felt that this show was unnecessarily cruel to Jerry (especially this one) for no reason. When sh*t hit the fan Jerry stayed by his family instead of abandoning them like Rick and Morty did. Jerry is a very flawed man but he's leagues better than Rick and I feel Rick hates Jerry because of that one fact. Rick is smart but he is the absolute worst kind of person and he never uses his intellect for anyone but himself and yet he's miserable. Morty deserved to be told off because honestly he takes his family for granted especially Jerry, the man who raised him.
Only this Jerry did. Every other Jerry basically runs away and abandons his family (like when Beth was being chased by a homeless man trying to stab her and Jerry ran into the car and locked the doors to protect himself).
@@jish55 Fair point. But then I go back to other point, of Rick doing the same thing time and time again.
@@jish55 Jerry survives. Sometimes surviving means throwing others under the bus. Sometimes it means banding together with the only others around who can help with the hunting and security. Whatever gives him the best shot at surviving is what Jerry will do.

Not really, his ego got his family killed. He should've taken Morty's offer back in season 2 instead of smashing the portal gun.
He wanted to stay in the hellhole instead of returning to society. He knows the moment they reintegrated into society that his Summer and Beth would go back to disrespecting him.
@@zerofudou5689 if you were in his position would you go back? He made it and hes still a jerr
Jerry not wanting to kill Morty even after he talks replacing his ORIGINAL family. Jerry really is the best character in the show
The rickest jerry is the reason Rick left Cronenberg dimension.
Assuming Rick is still a good status.
Actually, the Rickest Jerry is Doofus Jerry.
@@sonicdash761 that's the Jerryiest jerry
The hardest part for me here is that Morty offered to give Jerry a new family. He didn't offer to be his son again. That's his father. This isn't an alternate universe version of his father. That is literally his universe's dad. Even now, Morty is a callous, uncaring brat who thinks he can make it all right again by pawning Jerry off on somebody else instead of taking responsibility. Jerry was right to kick him to the curb.
he knew his dad wouldn't take him back. it was just his last attempt to 'reedem' himself
Jerry putting all this on Morty is gaslighting at it’s finest.
i think thats because he viewed rick wrong.
rick also looks like an uncaring bratt that would never do anything for anyone. but now we know he never stopped grieving about his real family, the altarnate universes doesnt mean anything to him cuz he knows it wouldnt be the same. morty didnt get that, so he thinks the only way to cope is not giving any shits, he thinks he can fix anything with different universes now
@@vibezonegaming Literally nothing he said was gaslighting. Jerry did lose everything and Morty did leave them to die in a world he ruined.
He wasn’t even doing it to hurt him. As he said, he walked away from caring.
@@vibezonegaming I don't think he was gaslighting him. I believe he was trying to teach him one last lesson.
He ultimately tries to kill Prime Rick, ONLY after he says he's looking for Morty and Rick. He still cares about Morty in some form, but just accepts his fate.
This Jerry deserved better.
I think what makes it hurt so much that he told Morty off is that he isn't deranged or wild. He's rambling about Batman and doing his camp guy stuff. He's not just somewhere in there, he's right there in front of us, Jerry Smith, not changed near as much as we want to believe, but he's done with his son. Even with that in mind, he's got no real malice towards him either, and even took a long shot at giving Morty a head start against Rick prime. So the fact that he's telling him to fuck off here shows he means it at the bottom of his heart. You can't simply undo that bond, but neither can you ever undo that betrayal. Jerry hasn't actually changed at all, and yet he's not Morty's father anymore. All that's left is for Morty to accept his own responsibility.
“Rick was always right, everyone needs to let go.”
The last words this Jerry heard from the “Smartest Man In The Universe” was that love is nothing but a chemical reaction that compels animals to mate. This statement was meant for Morty, but it hit Jerry the hardest, years later.
Is it wierd that Morty talks about finding Jerry a new Beth and Summer like someone wanting to replace a lost object? I mean they have the possibility but it´s still f*cked up that when they mess up they go to another universe, move and on and pretend nothing happend.
The line delivery, when he said “your mom and sister died morty” was 🔥
Yeah I got goosebumps from that. It's not very often you hear these incredible voice acting these days.
"I was apologizing for that earlier". And I thought S1 Bojack's apology was awful
Morty improvised his apology from those cringy CZcamsrs
People need to remember. The damage was caused by Rick... Morty didn't understand the side effects... Rick did... the man basically handed world destroying weapon to a CHILD....
And then put that child through so much toxic abuse that the child became jaded and more uncaring about death and stuff...
I mean, think about it, Morty is now someone who could cut off his own limbs without fear... he could now shrug off hellishness and starving to death.... Rick put the boy through too much sh*t...
In the same way that Jerry became more cruel.... so did Morty....
Think about it, did OG Morty even know they were alive??? And by the time he did find out, they were insane and trying to kill his other version of his sister....
He's not caring because Rick put him through so much sh*t he can't care.... everything is replaceable...
Morty's cruelty is due to Rick's selfishness... and Morty got used to that...
But here is the kicker... Morty is crying because he cares... he can try to hide it... he can lie to himself... but deep down.... he cares... he just was unwilling to admit it.... same as Rick... same as Jerry....
Haha, NO. At least not the first part, anyway.
@@oceanberserker ?
@@TeenWithACarrotIDK Yes?
Look how Morty continues to talk about how interchangeable his own family is. He is talking to his real father here, not just the one he chose to replace him with. He is responsible for killing his family, and he thought nothing of it up until his father confronted him with it. Don’t pretend he’s the victim, he’s another perpetrator. Rick is fucked up, but so is Morty in a very different way.
@@Rexis102 Yeah they're both fucked up, but it's pretty clear that Morty's disregard to his original family and thinking how replaceable his family is due to Rick's influence.
Its rough knowing that Jerry is a loving man and he loves his family probably more than they would ever do. And it shows a lot people don't care you are family loving man. But when you become badass and cool they know how much you've lost or sacrifice be like that.
Man, they did this Jerry (Prime Jerry) dirty in the end ! I hope they see how much the fans and viewers liked him and bring him back !!! I wouldnt even mind him as a frequent recurring character like space beth!!
“It improved you” 💀
Seeing a lot of hate for Morty, and while it’s important that he face the consequences of his actions, he’s still a kid. Him offering to make jerry happier by taking him to a better reality is a symptom of Mortys toxic relationship with Rick.
0:19 Last Ronin Michelangelo in a Nutshell
Wow, you can truly hear the pain and anger in Jerry's voice in his delivery.
And hearing Morty try to make the claim of "find a new mom and summer" shows he has become as disconnected as Rick.
Jerry didn't need compensation from Morty, he just wanted Morty to truly feel how he felt
I love this scene. Morty deserved every word of it. He left his family to rot and to add to that he offered Jerry a new reality to replace them as if they meant nothing to him.
"It only cost me FUCKING EVERYTHING." That line had some weight behind it.
Whatever could have repaired the relationship is forever shattered and it's sad to see the Jerry we all know into a cold hearted and uncaring man that is forever broken by the fact he lost his wife and daughter and was abandoned not once but twice by his own son.
"And that is the best deal you're gonna get. So take it"
Because if Jerry cared, Morty would be dead.
"and that is the best deal you will ever get.... so TAKE IT!"
one of the harshest lines in the series, and yet, wonderfully delivered. from Jerry's point of view, morty destroyed the world, then froze and killed his family. and this is morty's true dad, and he is that saying that he knows things can't be fixed, and doesn't want things to be 'fixed' becasue rick and morty never 'fix things' they run away from them. Jerry doesn't, he just deals with it...its part fo the reason I feel Jerry is the anti-rick in the show, they have completely different coping mechanisms.
You know Jerry was right when he said Rick was a terrible influence on Morty. When things went wrong on the Earth because of their actions, Morty bailed and abandoned his family. Not once did he ever think or consider or think about going back to save them or get them off the planet to a safer planet or universe. Morty just got himself a new family and didn't think twice about his original one. Jerry rightfully calls Morty out on this and just shows contempt and disgust for when Morty after he offers to find him a new family. That isn't going to fix anything. Jerry is actually dealing with his grief, while both Rick and Morty just universe hop to get away from it all.
This jerry is a badass and the fact that he gave rick credit shows he's really grown excellent character development wish we could see more of him rest in peace
0:19
“Oh, am I cool enough for you now? Well, that was easy, it only cost me *FUCKING EVERYTHING.* “
Damn…that kinda hits hard
This is why I like Jerry and always feel bad for him. All he wants is to just be a dad, have a family and be there for them. Instead he gets treated as a human punching bag and lightning rod for ridicule simply because was normal and not cool.
Jerry was the man we needed all along.
This is the MOAB for emotional damage, in my opinion. I can’t imagine reuniting with one of my parents and trying to fix it, just for them to tell me “I don’t love you anymore, I moved on”.
That’s not a knife to the heart, that’s a .50cal BMG round at point blank range.
Because too much time has passed between then and now and Morty isn't offering any of what he is to help his father, but solely to assuage his own guilt. Which in no uncertain terms is selfish in the worst way possible.
@@funnylove4321 mother of all bombs
Morty deserved it.
I mean it's basically kinda of an inverse abandoning father situation.
They just bailed, left you alone with no explanation and then years later when you moved on with your life they come back like "Hey son/daughter, I know I wasn't there for you all these years but hey, now I want to make things right, what if we play that game we used to enjoy when you were little" expecting you to act as if anything changed.
People change and people have the right to move on and deserve to live even when you are gone.
@@outdoorscholar6016 thank you 😊
Jerry wasn't kidding with "You abandoned us", at Morty because one he did left them to freeze and Morty talked about getting Jerry a new mom and summer like they can be replace. But Jerry already knew that if doing so it wouldn't be the same as it would be just some kind of sick dream.
Its nice that Morty admits he messed up but it isn't entirely his fault when he is a kid influenced by Rick offering him endless possibilities. And honestly, they could always clone them to make something remain alive from them.
Either way, I think after all that mess Jerry still went easy on him, he could kill him but he only took his stuff and gave him the type of harsh lesson that likely wont even affect him in later episodes
It’s not his fault for destroying the world but it’s 100% his fault for abandoning his family.
He hates Morty for his actions, but Morty was still his son and he didn’t want to kill his son, it’s what made him better than Rick and Morty
Easily the BEST Jerry, badass to the end. Maybe Rick can bring him back in later episodes
He probably ends up with space mom tbh
I doubt it.... mainly on the writers of the show.
If he ever cares
@@jamesdyer173 , if the Rickiest Rick brings backs this Jerry to have a family with Space Beth then Space’s Summer will be the Summeriest Summer.
I think this ending is suiting to him. I hope they don't come back to this timeline anymore. Time to, you know, move on.
lessons of this episode hit hard from home...
just because you move to another universe with a new version of your family doesn't make you move on. you're just repeating the same mistakes and not take responsibility to the point you're going through a loop.
This episode was great. Morty never took responsibility, and he seems so tone deaf here. He should have begged for forgiveness. The fact that he tried to reconnect by playing a fucking board game from his childhood shows it's about him and not the people he hurt which is more naivety than narcissism. Ricks toxicity has him stunted him i think.
Reading these comments, I think people forget Morty is still very very young and has grown up with Rick as a Role model at that. Even if he deserved worse, or has lived/experienced more than any teenager his age could possibly dream of, he’s still a kid and Jerry’s son. Jerry isn’t trying hurt him, he’s telling the truth and not actively trying to hurt a family member you sick weirdos. It doesn’t matter if he abandoned them, maliciousness like that is something only a deranged person would resort to, not a wise father
I guess a lot of people just felt the desensitiveness and "eh I don't really care anymore" Morty has and it's a part of his character trait now. That's why people dislike the way he acted as if nothing ever happened in the first place and he could just make up for it the fact that the whole reality was doomed and Morty's own real family was gone with it too.
YES! THANK YOU
Sorry but at any age you should know not to abandon your family for death. Him being young is not an excuse and should not be one.
And you think this Jerry isn't deranged? Watches the entire world turn into abominations, his wife and daughter are dead, his son abandoned him for a cushy life in another dimension, and he's literally the last man on earth?
I'd go frickin nuts in his place.
Oh stuff it, they're young or a child is a poor defense
Jerry is justified for being angry.
"A new mom, a new Summer, a Job."
Jerry is finally happy and Morty doesn't seem to want that.
This is such a heart breaking scene, seeing the nicest character be as cold as rick. Wow this is a good show
Jerry’s nihilism seems different to Ricks nihilism
I'm glad Jerry got to call out Morty as a PoS
To be fair, he had a right to be mad at Morty. It's honestly a miracle that he didn't kill him
I know this scene makes look Morty as the one that ruined his original dimension, and I am not denying his part, but the one that ruined it in a bigger scale was in fact Rick. He was narcicistic and irresponsable enough to give a teen a love potion, without thinking about every possible way that could go wrong despite how obvious it was.
Rick gave morty the means to roofie Jessica, he even admits it in front of Morty and piles the blame on him when in fact it was HIM who gave Morty the love potion in the first place. You just dont hand a teen something like that and expect everything to go well. As an adult he should have either give him better adivise (wich was never gonna happen) or take him to someone who can adress the situation.
"Nothing really matters, so it's the same if I let my grandson roofie someone else as long as he leaves me in peace". That is what I felted when he so easely gave the love potion to Morty.
What dod you exepected a teen like Morty to do? He didn't knew much better back then when he wanted things easy, but he could have had a better guideance and learn.
Well morty trying to roofie Jessica is bad on it’s own, I agree though that it’s mostly ricks fault for destroying the world. However it’s everything morty did after that makes him a piece of shit. This was his real family, the people that birthed and raised him, and he never came back for them. Now after all this time, after his dad is the only one still alive, he has that audacity to defend his actions by saying “it made you better.” Then he offers to give his dad a new family like they’re replaceable, and maybe a lot of this is a result of the trauma Rick has put morty through, but still, morty could have gone back to help them, and instead forgot about them
I dont think anyone is debating that rick messed up the whole world, but thats what he does. Rick is essentially a rabbid dog, he's just going to do whatever self destructive thing he feels like with no sense of responsibility and will just go somewhere else when he needs.
As much of this is rick's doing, morty is more culpable due to his still existing sense of morality. Morty new better than to get rick to make something that was essentially a roofie, he knew it was wrong and he knew leaving their world for a new one was wrong, still he went along with it and even pushed rick to do it. Meanwhile rick didnt even consider the consequences because this already isnt his world. Its meaningless and replacable to him.
Jerry didnt say anything about ruining the universe. He was mad morty abandoned them. He left them to die
@@averagejoe9040Morty's morality wasn't much, he was more immature than anyone with morals, just like kids who struggle to know what morals are.
"I moved on from caring and that is the best deal you will ever get." Wow, what a line. He actually sounds like Rick.
This. This right here, is why Ricks hate Jerries.
Because EVERY Jerry has this in them, could be this, could be strong, could stand up for themselves and tell him off, could exist on their own, could be something a Rick can respect... but pretty much all of them choose not to.
Keep in mind back when Prime universe got cronenberged, Rick took an extremely traumatized Morty and placed him into another perfect sandbox of his old reality and reinforced over and over again that everything is okay and they're just gonna go with it-- and this happened several more times. Rick taught a developing Morty that people can be replaceable because you can just yoink one from another dimension or hop and abandon, completely forgetting the last place as if pressing a reset button-- this is how he's taught Morty to deal with his trauma. It's only this episode that he's faced with the cold hard fact that he was a shitty person, cross-dimensional, and that he's left behind pain and hatred because of it.
Funny thing is that even Rick truly doesn’t think people are replaceable given his relationship/refusal to given up on his original family revenge or original BirdPerson. He conditioned Morty to be even worse than himself
It's oddly satisfying seeing Jerry rip into Morty like that. Morty honestly deserved that.
And this isn't a father giving a son a lecture, but a grown man giving a selfish brat a big reality check.
@@taraungoogle8482 So true.
"am i cool enough for you now?"
At first I felt bad for Morty getting chewed out by Jerry, but then I remember this was Morty's real dad. A dad he abandoned because he royally screwed up that dimension over a girl he liked. Morty became Rick at that moment, dropping one reality for another, and now treating Beth and Summer as something he can easily replace for Jerry, who has shouldered resentment for years over his son's stupidity. Jerry finally growing a pair felt pretty good to watch, honestly.
When you realize Jerry let off Morty easy when he had all the justification in the world to kill him he even states it saying he moved on from caring and that's the best Morty could get if Jerry still cared Morty would have been slashed like rick
Are we gonna forget that the citadel of ricks froze his family and not morty and on top of that he was taken away so he wouldn’t have been able to save them in time
To be fair, they wouldnt have had to be frozen if Morty didnt teleport himself and summer to this reality which was to try and prove his point that Rick was bad
@@KobashifanSam in his defense, Summer probably would have gotten herself hurt without him guiding her. Plus, he was trying to teach her about Rick.
I always tought Rick was the biggest bad guy in this show but now I'm starting to think it's Morty.
This Morty was the worst thing to ever happen to this reallity and maybe even others.
Even Prime Rick didn't do this much damage (that we have seen so far).
Except the damage was caused by Rick... Morty didn't understand the side effects... Rick did... the man basically handed world destroying weapon to a CHILD....
And then put that child through so much toxic abuse that the child became jaded and more uncaring about death and stuff...
I mean, think about it, Morty is now someone who could cut off his own limbs without fear... he could now shrug off hellishness and starving to death.... Rick put the boy through too much sh*t...
In the same way that Jerry became more cruel.... so did Morty....
Think about it, did OG Morty even know they were alive??? And by the time he did find out, they were insane and trying to kill his other version of his sister....
He's not caring because Rick put him through so much sh*t he can't care.... everything is replaceable...
I think labeling anyone a "good guy" or "bad guy" on this show misses the point. If there are infinite universes, then there are an infinite number of Morty's who do shit like this. And there are also an infinite number of Morty's who do the opposite. These events are all inevitable, because ALL events are inevitable. "Morty" is as much a hero as he is a villain, because there are an infinite number of realities where either are true. And now that the central finite curve has been destroyed, the same is true for Rick. They are both trapped by inevitability, as are we all...
@@TheDeathmail Also on top of that, the one ideal version of his life we've seen where he was with the girl Jerry accidentally reset, Rick is suspiciously absent from the whole montage of his time with her. Feel like that was an intentional nod to the fact that his life is happier when someone in his life is more important than Rick.

Just solidifying the fact that Morty is far more like Rick than he’d care to admit.

@@tssteelx he found a friend who is also a crowbar
Considering how OP prime Rick is he could bring this Jerry back to life and seeing how much people like this Jerry I could see them doing that in some kind of twisted way 🤷🏿♂️😅 I mean he was only shot in the head Rick could find a way out of that 🧐🤣
Nah. It wouldn't be the same Jerry because Prime Rick has been quite clear he works alone. So the only way for that to happen would be for him to make this Jerry a servant forced to obey him which would cheapen this Jerry's character because he found freedom in the apocalypse. Once he ran into Rick Prime he was dead, at least he went out like a badass.
Jerry has been literally shredded apart in a hail of gunfire before and they brought him back without even really trying. So yeah it's possible, hell they did the same thing for bird person.
Prime Rick killed him, at least we see him shoot this Jerry in one of the adult swim videos that explain how this morty is prime Rick morty n Rick is trapped in a version of the house with his wife talking to him out of sight
As amazing as this episode is, it also highlights the series' problems.
Hermit Jerry could've been a great deconstruction of what happens to all these expanded worlds only to get killed off unceremoniously. What a waste
The main issue when the entire cast is written as jerks, i like the show but they take the "everyone being a piece of shit" to an extreme like south park but failing at doing so
@@ishiddddd4783 South Park has been doing that for well over a decade so it's only natural. In comparison, Rick & Morty just does a bad job.
Someone already pointed this out, but I personally felt no sympathy when Morty started to cry. I can empathize with him feeling bad, but he can't handle his biological father snapping back at him.
I need to rewatch the 1st season to remember if Morty actually ever treat his own father like crap, but even if that wasn't the case Jerry still has the right to be angry at Morty.
What else was there to do with him we haven't already seen
They could still make it into a Spin-Off just like the Vindicators. In that way we can see what Jerry and the Rest of the Family has been doing when Rick and Morty leave that Universe.
@@AgentKyo actually two decades now. It aired in the early 90s lol
