Evil Morty's Dark Backstory | Rick and Morty | adult swim - Krátké a kreslené filmy
What I like about this backstory is nothing major happened. No big twist, nothing. It was exactly like every other episode. One day evil morty just snapped.
Yeah that extremely lame with no pay off just like this season and last season
@@themollymachineNo, this is how you make a broken character feel natural, they did a great job with Evil Morty, he's not some super villain who got infected and went crazy or has a tragic past, he is just a regular Morty who got tired of the Ricks' abuse. And this season is great, sixth was also great, the fifth was ok, and the fourth was bad, but the show is clearly recovering.
@@OriTheBestGame Eh, I didn't care for it. It may be clitche for the expectations for Evil Morty's backstory to be some grand out of the ordinary reason. But I just think there should be something that really differentiates the character. Nurture or Nature. Either through experiences that show more abuse than other Morties, or if not that at least some explanation to why he's so intelligent and capable of building Rick-like inventions: IE, evil spawns from capable people like Rick and his genes differentiate Morty in the worst way. This explanation was very inside the box, super basic, and really made no sense. Morty's way too smart, and he snapped pretty easily. Not very interesting either.
I want jerry evil lol!
@@bobross4616sounds a bit entitled ngl
You know after he snapped he lost his stutter, such a slight thing, but it shows how confident he became after he stopped caring about rick.
This is the potential the mortys have if they just stop caring about their ricks.
i initially didnt identify this as evil morty because of the stutter
He stutters a little bit with the why. 0:22 w-why don't I get you a drink.
Its a real thing that happens too, my stutter is neurogenic but its almost completely gone when Im in a heightened mental state
@@jackreynolds3465that’s obviously before he snapped
A Morty being smarter than most Ricks is just what this show needs.
He’s basically smarter than all ricks in the central finite curve
@@jayfree3852 not c 137
@@thepoemsof...855he is tho
@@thepoemsof...855He is
This Morty is no smarter than the others. He's just more focused on a goal, rather than pining for Jessica.
"Evil" Rick still being semi conscious and wanting to end himself is probably one of the darkest things I've seen in this show, imo.
Fr, I feel bad for him purely because of that, the fact Morty put him through that shows how little he cares
@@shinobix4925I mean..we've seen how our Morty's original family and universe were abandoned and all killed. Not to mention countless other Mortys and Ricks over the course of the entire show. You can see Evil Mortys train of thought here. Does it all matter when there are infinite realities and at some point in time a Rick or Morty does something even worse? Infinite universes provide the perfect setting for creating sociopaths. Our Morty became one and it's likely he'll end up like Evil Morty given enough time.
@@shinobix4925clearly Evil Rick put Evil Morty through a few things. This was apparently the breaking point
When Evil Morty said, "Yeah, pal, 100 years...forever." I think he meant that. He was planning to slave him forever, not allowing him to escape or even die. That Rick was lucky those Morty finished him off.
Yeah, and that the whole "do it, kill me!" wasn't him being controlled by EM to say that. Originally, a lot of people thought the goal was to goad the Mortys into murdering a Rick (perhaps to prove to them that they can), and that EM was basically forcing ER to say that.
Now we realize he was telling the Mortys to do their worst, because he couldn't stand living like this anymore, and he knew they could only kill him if they really tried their best.
0:43 I love how disinterested Evil Morty sounds. He's not driven to madness, just tired of the nonsense.
Well what he does next shows he was driven to madness
@@xonnaxaswaterxinternet6813madness?? he did the smart thing and you're calling him mad
@@0ranger I mean he killed almost every Rick and Morty i mean he couldn’t find another method to escape the central finite curve
Why did I hear morty’s voice when I read this 😂
Yeah, it really feels like he doesn’t like what he’s doing, but feels he needs to out of a sense of obligation.
I like how nobody finds it extremely amazing that Rick prime created a device that can kill a specific person across infinity. Like its par for the course when you are Rick.
It’s not infinity, the central finite curve was a continuously segmented part of infinity.
@@maylabrown4584But it actually ereases them outside of the finite curve, cause otherwise Rick would break it earlier to find Diane
The central finite curve was created after Prime Rick deleted Diane from existence. The device really deletes someone from infinity.
@@maylabrown4584 Rick prime said that he erased her across "every universe across infinity" for prove it's in the scene where all the rick's are about to fight each other
did i miss something, but why did rick prime do it to begin with? what happened to his diane? or is that like season 1 ?
For the people who say "Well, now I get why he's evil", every Rick abuses his Morty to an extent some more than others, some really care about their families, some just want what's best for him without caring how it affects the rest of the Smiths, Evil Morty is the only one who snapped and had the guts to do the things that he did, he doesn't just get annoyed by Rick's actions, he has a distaste for his and every other Rick, that's why he wanted to leave the central finite curve, and besides let's be honest, Ricks have done worse things to Mortys than shoving them up cavities.
True except for one thing our C-137 that we been following is the only Rick that genuinely cares for his Morty.
@@Areaninetyone Hmmm, not sure, with how many dimensions there are i'd imagine that there are other Ricks that feel affection towards their Mortys, on some of the comics we actually follow Ricks and Mortys from different dimensions and some of those Ricks seem to truly care about their Mortys.
Is Morty evil now?
I dont think hes the only one that snapped. We had that one joke in season 3 i think where rick was reborn into a clone body in a fascist universe where fascist morty killed fascist rick right off the bat. Im sure there are a bunch of morty’s that had meltdowns or snapped and killed their ricks, it seems like this morty is the only one to break the cycle though.
@@Areaninetyone The wasp version seemed quite caring tbf
How ironic, technically Evil Morty is a space pirate, wandering, free of restrictions, and wears an eyepatch, Rick's worst fear ended up being real
I kinda got the vibe that Evil Morty went with the eye patch just becuase he knew Rick is actually afraid of pirates.
I think we all agree that any episode with evil Morty is a fantastic episode.
He carrys the show on his back and he's only got what, 5 episodes or something
Him and the President of USA
With how everyone was hesitant with the season because of the new VA situation. They def should've made this episode 1 instead of 5.
@@user-qg3nj1sv8j Rick and Morty received a 70 episode deal after season 3. Unless Adult Swim wants to pay lots of money for a breach of contract. Rick and Morty has at least another 3 seasons left after season 7
@@meriewanderer Agreed, He's the only reason I still watch the show
1:32 this changes the meaning behind evil Rick’s line, we wasn’t egging on all those Mortys he wanted them to kill him
yup
Except we already knew that he was under control remember???
@@TheDeathmailwe just didn't know he was trying to end himself
@@TheDeathmail Not until the ending
Also he wanted to kill himself because he realized that he went too far he realized that to force morty someone who usually will tolerate almost anything to the breakdown point he reached probably made him the worst rick.
Rick trying to commit suicide to free himself and then being prevented by Evil Morty is one of the most evil, deplorable and truly messed up things i've seen in this show.
The idea that Evil Morty was puppeteering his Rick like an NPC is incredibly cruel, when Rick literally bends himself backwards to shoot the security guard Rick shows how little he cares now
Except "Evil Rick" wasn't Evil Morty's Rick, nor vice versa. He was a replacement Morty and was assigned to this angrier abusive Rick. This Rick either lost his own Morty or never had one in the first place. Evil Morty was basically a slave and Evil Rick was his enslaver.
That’s not how NPCs work lmao. What do you think the N stands for? You control a PC
@silverblade357 No, this was "his rick" he controlled him. That's why it showed him trying to off himself.
Seriously? That's one of the most deplorable and messed up you've seen in this show,
literally the episode before this is a how a government conditioned its citizens to commit suicide so they can sell their guts to aliens
That was his grandpa. He didn’t want to see him go out like that. But then again he let him get beaten to death by Mortys
It's kinda genius how Evil Morty purposefully took advantage of Rick's alcoholism here to get him vulnerable, "Are you drunk yet?" wasn't just a snarky comment, he wanted to make sure Rick was at his most mentally impaired before he attacked him
The Scariest thing about Evil Morty is that nothing particularly bad or tragic happened to him that put him on this path, he was a relatively normal Morty who snapped one day, and I think that's much more impactful than if he went through some tragedy and we felt bad for him
Edit: Relatively normal Morty, but way more smart and capable than your average Morty for sure yes
i mean...Rick puts him up to a ton of abuse, physically and emotionally. it looked like his Rick wasn't as emotionally evolved as our Rick (which isn't saying alot i know). most Morty's put up with the BS but Evil Morty just had enough of it, so it's not like it's out of the blue or anything.
The only thing that seems a bit weird to me is that he's suddenly Rick-levels of science-savvy and starts making his own advanced cybernetics. I had the impression that he was intelligent at using Rick against himself but not necessarily that he was able to out-science him.
@@bvbxiong5791 oh it was absolutely not out of the blue, he just couldn't take it anymore and snapped, its like Evil Morty said "That's what makes me evil, being sick of him, if you've ever been sick of him you've been evil too"
@@bvbxiong5791The way this Rick is talking to morty compared to others, he definitely cares. I wouldn’t doubt if he was like C-137 (became depressed after losing Dianne) but instead of Rick being able to move on, this Rick, while loving his family and morty, saw it as useless at the end of the day. Him being drunk and talking to the morty like that shows he truly loves him somewhat.
It's not just that and even then I'm not sure if he was "normal" in the first place?
What I'm getting at is how is he smart beforehand as in building that eyepatch thing and aswell the stuff leading up to today episode (make his Rick evil and he pretend to be his underlind, being the new leader of the Citedal and made a new home in that multiverse of madness)? He obviously learn from Rick but this is Rick we're talking about and not just learning from a mentor? Like the main Morty is still a bumbling idiot that couldn't find a gun to shoot Evil Morty so Evil Morty so far is definitely special among the others!
I love that they added the little piano snippet of For the Damaged Coda at 0:42 . Such a masterfully crafted scene.
love how they always make it show that the song is specifically evil morty's theme
ah I have missed that part, thanks.
What’s the song that played during Evil Morty’s actual montage in this clip?
oh
yo
This takes the Joker’s iconic quote “All it takes is just one bad day” to a whole new level.
I don't think it was just ONE bad day with this Morty, though.
Yet another person misinterpreting the killing joke. Jokers ideology of one bad day being enough to drive Someone insane is fundamentally wrong and that was the whole point of the killing joke that nobody seems to understand.
@@borbafatt there’s no need to take it seriously.
@@borbafattPretty sure they were just quoting joker here. I didnt see him mension the killing joke or its message. This was a direct reference to only Jokers ideology.
@@lightinger8548 that ideology is based off of the killing joke. No other Version of the Joker has that philosophy.

0:15 It's scary how Morty made this heavy decision instantaneously. He had enough and immediately began his plan by getting Rick Drunk. No outward tell-tale signs broadcasting that he snapped.
I personally would be suspicious if I noticed him fold that way and have such a quick change of mood.
yeah I know this comment was a while ago but while I'm rewatching the series, I agree I would expect someone like Rick to pick up on that sign especially during that moment of frustration but I guess it's whatever@@razorleaf
After rewatching this scene over and over again, Prime was right about something.
"He's only 14!, what will happen the next time he gets mad at grandpa." Sure, he didn't know Evil Morty is WAY different than the rest of Morties but think about it.
Evil Morty didn't had a tragic backstory, didn't had a tragic event that drove him to madness, he wasn't driven by adrenaline to commit horrible acts like our Morty or driven by blind rage and revenge like Rick. He was a complete normal Morty who just decided he didn't wanted to pull up with all this anymore.
Which leaves open a door for our Morty to go down a similar path. There has been several instances on how our Morty rebelled against Rick and knows him enough to know where to hit.
He just needs to get tired of his BS to become Evil Morty 2.0
The thing is Rick-C137 doesn't go adventuring anymore, because of the fact that he has no purpose in life anymore he's much worse than that Robot who passes Butter
Which leaves Morty being alone living a normal 14yo does, go to school, gets bullied, chasing his crush, etc.
I think that's a tragic backstory. Evil Morty was an abused kid who decided to bite back. They had clearly had this fight over and over again and it never resulted in Morty getting treated any better. Evil Morty IS way different, but mostly because if a Rick said "you're in or you're out" then every other Morty would decide they were in. This one just decided he was going to stick up for himself. All of this was him getting out, as completely as he could.

You know they did really well with conveying a “tired, done, kinda depressed, almost a little regretful ” look.
The fact that we got a backstory of evil morty and a final battle with rick prime, rick c137 teaming up with evil morty in one episode middle of a season proves how great this show is.
Exactly. These are somehow ricks who are hurting the literal oringal Rick, Rick prime number one (since prime confirmed if he didn’t kill ricks family. C-137 would had killed his and he would had been prime Rick.) point is, these ricks are clearly all different and have different tech, but yet only 2 of them had enhancements? Excluding morty, Evil Morty and C-137. The last Rick to live along with Indy Rick both had ehancments, but none of the others did. Even the wife beater Rick “attachment is death bro, that’s what I learned hunting this guy.” This Rick is now confirmed hunting him for long enough for him to relaize this, but yet his unarmed with zero cybernetics? Makes no sense
@@nikolai6489C-137 was ready to give it all up. Prime was most likely just saying that to pretend he was above him. Villains tend to say stuff with no actual meaning just to get in the protagonist’s head.
Hey guys, our Rick isn't c-137, that's Rick primes timeline. We're never got a definitive answer for his original universe number.
@@higharchbishopofteatasting6217our rick is c-137, if it weren’t c-137 the council members wouldn’t call him Rick c-137 because they know what his original dimension is because of the flashback. The dimension we’ve never gotten a number for is rick primes, the Cronenberg one
@@ricekrispies4994 That's not remotely true, our Morty and Rick prime are both C-137, this is described in s6 e1, when Rick mentions that Mortys original grandpa wasn't around anymore, actually watch the show before spouting nonsense.
I love how simple it is. Implying almost any morty can become evil morty.
Its also weird that in infinite multiverse there is only one evil morty, like Rick have multiple evil version of themselves and even better/good version than c-137 rick
His Rick is evil rick, so I assume that rick was much worse with morty and never showed the occasional display if love that main rick shows.
@@fikrijuanda6321 They're in the central finite curve, other Mortys who would end up smarter go outside the curve. Evil Morty is an example of success when you got have a 1/infinity chance, so long as you're determined.
If you've ever been sick of Rick, then you're an Evil Morty too.
He said something along those lines once
Because it’s just a dumb show. If it were real, there would be infinity evil Mortys. That’s how infinite works. Every minor decision you made, would make a new reality.
So there’s a universe out there that’s exactly the same as this one, except you have 1 less hair. Or 1mm shorter finger nails etc.
So there would be infinite evil Morty’s. Just with the slightest of differences.
1:02 remember, Rick is afraid of pirates. That’s probably the reason evil Morty uses a eyepatch. It a screw you to ricks.
😨
1:09 He wasn't smiling .He was different since the beginning.
Nice catch!
I’m glad someone else caught this, I definitely think he’s one of the artificially manufactured Morty’s maybe one that just came out wrong but I am DYING to learn more about and SEE more of him
interesting
Very possible or the writers just wanted us to know it was him he was deleting in the file. Besides the eye patch the only way to tell who evil morty is, his facial expression or lack of one.
Perhaps he was the first Morty to finally understand how all the Morty's he sees are just replacements for the incompetence of Ricks.
I love how they tied in the episode from our universe where they come in and steal our Rick and Morty. This episode was soooo good
wait, what do you mean?
@@cisco4766The episode where Evil Morty first appears
They say the name of the episode somewhere in the middle of season 5 finale
@@violetrose674
I get what you’re saying, but since the “cold open” for that episode was meant to be a fakeout (kinda like the “cold open” for Mortiplicity where the alien squids come in and kill the whole Smith family), that wasn’t actually “our Rick and Morty” that was captured.
In fact, the only reason they get captured in that episode (if I’m remembering correctly) is because they happen to stumble upon Evil
Morty’s hidden lair.
I love how they make it look like old, now painfully bright, style.
1:00-1:03 Theory: Evil Morty wears the eyepatch because he knows many Rick Sanchez’s are afraid of pirates.🏴☠️
Isn't it already clear that it's a part of the device he uses on Rick?
@@RousellaI think it’s the reason why it’s an eyepatch instead of something like a wrist watch or something

@@Rousella rick mentioned he was afraid of pirates in one of the president episodes (3x10 around minute 8:40)

Evil Morty went crazy in this episode. Not only was he able to keep up with Rick, but he was even improving Rick's stuff, giving him advice and basically working side by side together as equal beings. Also, the reason he got his personality and knowledge was very intriguing as he simply just got sick of Rick and decided to take matters into his own hands. Definitely in my top 3 favorite characters in the show now.
Who's the other 2?
@@shinobix4925....... You know who
@@shinobix4925+
One thing that's also brilliant is that C-137 Rick actually accepted the input, even if begrudgingly
His experiences have taught him that he always has to remember he's not the top dog anymore, and he's survived because of that
He got knowledge because he was with Rick; the influence of Rick made him smarter because Rick is smart (Proverb 13:20) We know Morty is not the brightest of the family, and he could’ve never make the instrument to control Rick without Rick’s technology. About his personality… Those thoughts and sentiments were already there, he just decided to act on them.
The fact that evil rick truely wanted to die when he said " kill me, do it" was a nice twist. back in the day we fought it was some kind of insult just but it was still rick left inside this puppet
One thing no one pointed out so far is how Evil Morty knows his gadgets. I believe that Evil Morty's Rick has been making him do all the work, *which made Morty know of the ins and outs of Rick's technology and mind.* This is just assumption, but it's also possible that Evil Morty already self-enhanced himself with cybernetic augmentations before the Morty-napping and presidency. After all, no Rick would expect a Morty to be cybernetically enhanced like all Ricks.
It really show throughout the whole episode, he really thinks 10 steps ahead and not giving a f#&k about any of Rick's adventure.
Lmao why’d you put it in bold writing 😂😂
*it ain’t that serious bro*
Disregard the previous comment, that is definitely an idea worth highlighting. I think you're totally onto something, it makes a lot of sense if EM were forced to do a lot of the work that he picked up the skills for engineering that we see from him later
And as we say his genius might have skipped a generation from it's original rick (or Rick's DNA) 🤔
@@xDarkMonkeyz nah. EM can take credit for his own accomplishments.
He literally downloaded several Rick's knowledge about his tech into his brain.
I feel like some people are forgetting that certain Mortys are tossed around to different Ricks in the Citadel whenever a Rick dies. Could be that Evil Morty was mistreated by all his past Ricks and just one day snapped. He's even on the Morty Agency directory suggesting that he's a hand-me-down like Slick Morty. One of the windows in the background says
"Morty"
"Get Yours"
But I guess it's also just as possible that Evil Morty just killed his Original Rick after a few adventures. Meaning perhaps Evil Morty has Psychopathic tendencies.
Yeah I really don't think the Rick he took control of is his original Rick. The sudden change in personality doesn't seem like someone snapping to me but more like revealing their true intentions. Like he was pretending to be that Rick's Morty to eventually control him.
Bruh, if there's one thing evil morty didn't do wrong, it's all the ricks he killed. That's not psychotic, ricks are so cruel to mortys
I think you may be on to something. I hope in the future we get an evil morty background. Like more than this type of background. He's such an interesting, well written character.
@@Vale10952 The one thing that didnt add up was why is he killing all these random Ricks, they arent highly important Ricks like the ones who run the citadel at the time with the council, but I agree if he was deleting his profile in the reigstry and is a hand me down, it makes sense that he grew tired of all the adventures at some point. It would also explain he was killing all the previous Ricks... though the issue is why go after C-137 Rick? Maybe going after the Rickest Ricks? Though still doesnt add up why a literal Citadel member escorted him away as if he knew he was in trouble... we may not know the full story.
@@abdullahansari437 Yeah but he was kidnapping Morty's to torture them that doesn't make him any better. Not only that he blended up ricks and morties to disrupt the curve
Evil Morty is basically a version of Morty who actually learns from Rick. So much so that he becomes even smarter. It’s a Morty that matures, it’s a classic master and student relationship where the student surpasses the master. So technically there isn’t actually anything evil about Evil Morty. He’s just Ricks best student.
"There isn't actually anything evil about Evil Morty" well, other than the fact that he tortured and killed a lot of people.
Noo dude, I understand your sense of morality but you’re bringing your sense of reality into your opinion. that’s like living in a universe that’s Rick isn’t the smartest across infinity, then judging Morty or Rick. In that case Summer and Beth are also evil as they also have their own respective kill count. You have to immerse yourself into the world of Rick and Morty and give judgement from there.
Good point. I guess in the grand scheme of things, Evil Morty is truly considered "evil" just because he's the only one who dares to defy Rick and actually fight back.
He’s still evil.
“Sorry to be such a high maintenance Morty”
I think that line could mean a lot. For all we know, he may not even be that Rick's original Morty
@@TheBlakus420 I feel like that line implies that he was assigned to this Rick from the citadel. In fact, its even possible, I think, that this Rick wasn't ultimately the reason Evil Morty snapped. Maybe it was a previous Rick.

I love how this backstory recontextualizes evil rick's death back in season 1. Before, it was just a Rick being a Rick until the end. Now we know he was still there and actively wanted to die to be released.
We didn’t know that before? I thought it was implied because evil Morty was controlling Rick with the eyepatch (we see that reveal in season 1).
This episode was one of the best in years. I feel like Season 7 so far has been an improvement over seasons 5 and 6. It's interesting how every canonical appearance of Evil Morty has been on odd numbered seasons, I wonder if it's by design or just a coincidence.
Season 4 was very hit or miss, season 5 was a slight improvement, but season 6 was the best season in years, this season has been amazing so far.
@@maxxymrice6200 Seasons 4-6 are all mixed bags, some very strong episodes but also some extremely weak ones, Seasons 1-2 are flawless, 3 showed some cracks but was still great, season 5 is specially awful though, in my opinion at least, hate the Gotron episode.

@@Childofbhaal I mean, we already have answers. At least for Prime. Like, he was THE Rick, THE one who thought of multiverse travelling. Rick C-137 was the ONLY Rick to replicate this by himself, and when he rejected Rick Prime, Rick Prime was just pissed and arrogant enough to kill C-137's family.
@@Childofbhaalyeah they just wanted to end it because they're down their co-creater who probably had more interest than the entirety of this band of second rate writers they have now.
Rick Prime: “we could team up! Be like Batman and Robin”
Evil Morty: “Eh, I don’t really need a Robin”
Hard.
I really do enjoy the fact that Evil Morty really did just get sick of Rick. He thought it was demeaning that he had to go up something's butt for Rick, so he murdered thousands of Ricks and Mortys so he didn't have to do it again.
Yep
I love this so much. His Rick could've been abusive, or harmful in ways that aren't normal for your average Rick.
But he's not. Infact, the way he spoke is near equivalent to how our Rick once fought with our Morty.
Only difference is that our Morty took it and waited for Rick to transform into someone better.
But.. Evil Morty? Nah. He just got *tired* of it, and took charge.
Yup
it's what makes him evil, imo
instead of just quitting like his rick offered, he decided to betray his rick and then kill hundreds of ricks and morties all so he could go have a retirement home in a dome in the middle of nowhere. someone as smart as him could have found a place even in the cfc where no one could bother him but he didn't even consider it
@bana8736 How? the central finite curve is an infinite prison. Any universe he goes in there is still influenced by ricks. He did what no morty did, accepting changes
I like how an infinite number of universes also means a universe where a Morty is smarter than most Rick + is evil. I wasn't expecting this episode mid season but I loved every second of it
Infinity also means there is always someone smarter than u. And this is something even Rick could be afraid of.
Evil Morty can't be smarter than his Rick, because then Rick isn't smartest in the world, and that means his universe wouldn't be a part of the Central Finite Curve
@@Cezakohe is, thats what the central finite curve is all about, having only the universes that Rick is the Smartest but in their hubris they underestimate how much Morty is on par with them
Evil Morty did not win cause he was smarter cause he was more tactiful. He knows Rick underestimate morty so he used that to his advantage, if he treated him as a threat he would of lost.
If Morty was smarter than Rick he wouldn't need to steal the knowledge of all those dead Rick's. All Morty did was take knowledge and apply it. You don't have to be smarter to get the drop on someone. All you need is opportunity.
The only reason Morty got away with so much is nobody expects much from a Morty. Low expectations and Anonymity were his biggest advantages.
My theory: since Rick said about quitting in a manner similar to a threat, Evil Morty isn't in fact his original one.
As Evil Morty explained that there was an entire industry of Morty cloning, he could be the clone as well, the one who would return to the assignment bureau as their asset, or even product. This would also explain why once he took control over his Rick decided to delete files in the bureau. Those were the most likely his own.
I think its deeper than his Morty threatening to quit. The way Rick talks its like he's talking to a battered spouse, like Morty has tried to run away or just tried to not engage as a form of passive resistance. If he can't just leave, "quitting" seems to be a matter of just going back to the Citadel to be assigned another Rick, which could be even worse if the citadel has a policy of shuffling uppity Mortys to progressively worse Ricks until they end up dead or shut the hell up because they know the next Rick down will just be worse.
I like evil morty's expressions through out the episode. With his own Rick he shows a bit of sadness with what he's doing to him, but he knows he can't stop
A few things I noticed. The purple goo that Morty drips from being covered in it when they first arrived was still there in the next scene. Rick's last conscience line was "Get off me! What are you doing?" That gave a chills. Morty covered his tracks by erasing himself from the system. And also his eyepatch had a way to see the world without showing his eye.
1:05 lmao he didn’t have to sassily shoot that man
I think evil morties rick was a classic "citadel minded rick" and would've just replaced him if he quit. Thats why evil morty snapped. His Rick was all take and no give when it came to anything, while C137 acts like that, but really goes outta his way to make things right immediately after because he cares.
He's a "High Maitanence" Morty.
Probably factory made to a Rick that saw him as a recalled product.
This was all about Morty recognizing what it would take to break free from his abusive relationship, and going through with everything.
But i think he is not evil. I saw his emotions when Rick kills prime. Evil Morty knows his grandpa.
oof
Not wrong in the least.
Evil Morty is just fed up Morty.
He’s tired and is just done, he still feels, but it’s so dulled and repressed it just comes across as cold and callous. What we’re seeing with evil Morty is truly what depression and acceptance of that over a long enough time looks like. Especially when it comes to his Rick. You definitely see a bit of remorse over what he’s doing and how he’s controlling rick and the situation, but in all reality, he is controlling his situation. He is doing what he needs to do for his own self preservation.
Honestly, I could rant on for a while about evil, Morty, and how good of a character he is and what he represents, but at a certain point it just becomes well rambling and stating the same thing multiple times.
The writers knew they were losing us with the random eps so they gave us what we wanted in one ep evil morty and prime rick , nice
aside from the obvious, what caught me offguard is the fact that "evil rick" wasn't just a complete android, and was still at least partially sentient up until his death
10 years of Evil Morty's journey
It's awesome what has became
I like how everyone started this episode and it was all normal and classic between R and M but the he suddenly put on the eye patch and it changed everything, amazing
Rick: "You know how we feel about pirates."
Morty: "Why do you think I wear an eye patch?"
I love how there's nothing special about Evil Morty. He just got fed up with Rick one day and actually did something about it
Evil Morty is by far one of the best characters this show have, his actitud it’s like he is tired of everything around him that why nothing surprises him
If a Morty ever lowers his eyelids by 25% and stops stuttering, run for your life.
Everyone has a breaking point. Most fans see Mortys and Ricks as less than people, more like objects but each one is individual. Each one has a breaking point and different capabilities. Just like Cop Rick who was shown to be sympathetic and in this case Evil Morty.
YES you get it! A lot of the fandom treats "Rick" and "Morty" more like DnD classes than people. That's why it's so annoying to see so many call EM the "rickest morty" imo
To be fair to the fans though, the characters themselves also refer to other "Ricks" and "Morties" that way.
What I wanna know: how did this Morty get so freaking smart? I mean, he is basically on Ricks level at the point of this episode.
He scanned and took some of the rick's memory that he could get his hands on
Morty always had the capacity but neither Rick nor his conscience gave him the chance to reach his full potential. He is not only younger, but also determined, unlike Rick. Rick's ego get in his way of learning and adapting but Morty doesn't have his pride and knows being "smart" (just being ambitious really) doesn't make him better than other people. He also seems to think there is no meaning in life, like Rick, but instead he creates his own happiness whereas Rick mops in his self-pity, destroys his body, most of the time isn't even sober to use his brain properly. Also Morty is his grandson. I'm pretty sure he inherited that genius just like Summer.
@@imge509When Summer was hanging out with rick, she went from cliche sweet 16 girl to, Basically her mom
Its possible that when the curve was created everyone including mortys were dumber than their Ricks at that point in time. However they must of not foreseen the possibility that a Morty could at one point surpass their own Rick.
It could be that this Morty at first even when he took control of his Rick he was still dumber, but over time improved his mind with technology. And now its at the point that Evil Morty may even be smarter than C-137
Yeah pretty sure in the first episode of evil morty it’s shown that the reason all the attacks on ricks were happening were because the brains were being scanned and downloaded. While then in the season 5 finale I think they have evil morty say our ricks brain was also mostly scanned already as well. So the whole scheme was evil morty was gaining as much info as possible to bring down the finite curve.
Did they drop this backstory on us to say "THIS IS HIS BACKSTORY QUIT BUGGING US ABOUT IT NOW"
"Whoa... Dead Ricks?"
"Yes, now everyone can shut up about it."
Yea everyone kept saying we think he was a mysterious Morty who wanted it to be over
And the creators were like just shut up and we will give you a back story
Yep, but kinda unlike Ricks kinda lazy back story that was already revealed to us through a half fake memory, this one was actually really well done. It shows the realism that nothing really major has to happen for someone like this Morty to snap, it takes time and repetition to build its full weight. This episode was extremely good, definitely gives me the vibes Rick and Morty used to give me back in its early days, but somehow better.
I think evil morty was already getting miss treated by rick several times before this so I guess before this evil morty must have been studying rick behind the scenes until he finally had enough of his rick
I think people are missing the reason why this Morty is different. It's because he had the one Rick who had no ego, no concept of self, who truly did not care about anything, even himself. Every other Rick would've had the survival instinct to be wary of Morty's sudden change in behavior, especially when offering alcohol. Every other Rick needs Morty as his inferior to project onto, but this Rick truly did not care whether or not Morty stayed or left. And all the other Morty's play their part, enabling Rick, being pathetic, which takes a lot of hidden effort. He gets it from Jerry, who we get to see how badass he is when he finally decided to take life seriously. Here we see a Morty completely detached from Rick because he chose to be so.
I love how his eyes switched to "tired eyes" the second he decided he had enough of Rick. His tired eyes stay until the moment he left the curve.
I just realized they removed the Mortys screaming in unison at 1:36
Cause Justin Roiland
I know, but it was there originally in the episode. @@extraterrestrialcontent
@@extraterrestrialcontentPossibly not. They removed other things like Rick's grunts with the knife and Rick's scream when he was taken over by Morty at the beginning
Tbh this was the greatest episode we’ve had from the show in awhile, so much to take in. Very excited to see more.
2:03 nice going
i’m glad the brought this around
2:02
They edited out Ricks scream when he gets taken over??? 0:52
Yup
@@XangoFwet it’s weird, I felt like it was like the new guys best Rick scream yet
@@E6PO1 They also edited out the groan rick makes when trying to off himself at 1:32
which again is weird, it was good.
1:37 they also edited the morty screaming for freedom
This is Sooo gonna cause a Mandela effect
"An eye patch? You know
how we feel about pirates." works so well because people watch this show on pirated sites and Ricks are afraid of pirates 😂
you know seeing in the last episode Rick called Morty a dog (again), I'm really giving more credit into what Evil Morty has done
No wonder he became evil morty SHEEEEESH
Yeah i can understand him
Facts.
YO DEVONTE! WHATS GOOD?
What do you mean no wonder? Its no different than typical Rick and Morty interactions.
DEVONTEEEEEEE
I love how Evil Morty snaps. There's no great moment of rage and beating someone bloody, there's no yelling or screaming or crying, he didn't argue or fight back, there was no debilitating pressure.
It was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Enough is enough. And Morty decided, that day, he's finally had enough.
I absolutely love characters like this, where one second you can see the emotion in their eyes, how much they care, and then with the final confirmation hits that all their efforts are futile? For the first time, that emotion completely disappears from their eyes, a silent and apathetic hatred.
It gets me every time.
He was never evil, he just had enough of Rick´s bullsh*t.
0:10 Did no one notice that Evil Morty raised his hand after Rick's angry threat? Like, what did Evil Rick do to that guy beforehand?
For certain, Evil Morty didn't have one big moment that made him who he is today. He just endured so many moments that one day, he decided to have enough of it. The sheer random casual nature adds the horror.
Also, does anyone notice how... empty the house is? No Beth, Summer, or even a Jerry? Like, what is Evil Rick REALLY like?
You made most of that up.
@@Vale10952 look up TV Tropes.
To be fair they were in the garage most of time, and it was night so yea.
Anyone else find it interesting that the "evilest" versions of morty and Rick are the ones who have zero emotional connections to any other humans (their family).
Not sure if Harmon did that on purpose, but i like it.
I think it’s interesting ending BOTH Evil Morty and Rick Prime plots at the same time. It really does leave you with wonder of what’s to come next. Because every major plot has been wrapped up.
A story of the infinite multiverse and 2 in infinity Mortys and Ricks.
How did evil morty get so smart?
This Morty must have paid more attention to what his Rick was doing.
Morty has always been smart. This Morty snapped.
He scanned Rick's brain
It's often shown that a Morty without anxiety can display the same intelligence as Rick.
He shoved seeds up his a**
In case anyone is wondering: Evil Morty is kidnapping Mortys so he can use them to shield himself from the Citadel and killing Ricks to download their brains so to increase his own intellect and learn about the Central Finite Curve/a way to break through it.
I was SHAKING with excitement the moment I saw that eyepatch
I like how he wasn’t evil he was just sick of it
I mean he murdered mad ricks
Idk he did allot of evil things
"That's what makes me evil. Being sick of him."
@@toxiclightning5303as if our morty didn't kill anyone before
@@tsukicha3674 He didn’t kill any ricks tho.
1:14 Love Jerry's screams in the background LOL
Aaaaaaooooahhhh
Oh my god!!!!
the soundtrack is insane, absolutely obsessed
I genuinely like the touch of instead of Evil Morty slinking off and hiding among all the Mortys, he was deliberately welcomed among them by a council member. I mean it was a evil Rick, who cares about his Morty...
“You _drunk_ yet?” Perfect intonation, so full of contempt, you know immediately it ain’t our Morty.
1:20 very fancy
You can tell this Morty is evil because his room is completely clean and organized.
Notice how he says "Sorry for being such a high maintainence morty"? That's not his original Rick. He was bought from the citadel. There's more to his story
Tbh, this episode just blew my mind, especially after those four before em. Can't wait for the next episode!
" Yeah pal, Rick and Morty, a hundred years , forever..." - Evil Morty
remembered when we all thought Evil Morty was Rick C137's original Morty? good times
1:42 Now i gotta ask.. people say that the council member Rick didnt know he was blanketing Evil Morty.. But the council members jumped in after C-137 called a guard member for finding the killer. Either this is bad timing or that council member is onto something..
Prove me wrong
Ты не прав
Seeing what evil morty done to his Rick it brings a whole new meaning to his last words he wanted to die
evil morty needs his own show
The Morty Show: Evil Morty and his rivals
No.
thank god you aren’t their idea pitcher
It's just an amazing episode. You guys did a really good job, so many small details, even the battery on the background was empty and after one minute left it was half full.
All this time I thought Evil Rick was a robot built and controlled by Evil Morty, I just realized it was his original Rick being controlled.
I think the most interesting thing about this backstory , it shows us has that that evil morty isn´t that different from a regular morty , he just stopped caring about rick , he quit . We see in detox morty episode that morty has a great potential and what helds him back it´s his toxic dependence on Rick . When morty has confidence , he gains power .
I wouldn't exactly call Evil Morty "evil", he's just a morty that finally snapped and just couldn't deal with his Rick or any Rick's bs any longer and just kinda escalated things.
That's some a+ repiping, almost exactly what they say in the show
… Yeesh, no wonder he became Evil Morty.
For the people who wonder why Evil Morty is able to create and even do better Rick-like contraptions than Rick, it's actually been hinted at ages ago. Remember that one episode where Rick got drunk and made that superhero team go through some messed up stuff? Morty was shown to be the most competent person out of all of them, disarming bombs, all that sort of stuff.
It's actually not that big a stretch that Morty has picked up a lot of stuff from Rick during their adventures, or whenever Rick gets black out drunk and goes off the rails. Morty is extremely capable but lacks the confidence to do anything about it. That is, until they snap one day, like Evil Morty here does.
Estuve buscando por todos lados este comentario la gente olvida que Morty es realmente capaz cuando se lo propone es básicamente una bomba de tiempo en potencia
this episode was a great epilogue to his arc. Ricks were too prideful to suspect a competent Morty, even C-137 and Prime both got played like fiddles by him
Honestly Evil Marty while terrifying is ultimately a character who just wants to be left alone. He’s no where near as bad as other bad guys such as Rick Prime, Tammy, Story Lord, Doofus Jerry, Fart, King Jellybean, Lucius Needful, and almost a large portion of the alternate Rick’s including our own. The biggest and evilest thing he’s ever done was destroying and killing all the Rick’s and Morty’s on the Citadel and honestly I don’t think any of us are going to shed tears other them… Unless Doofus Rick was among them
yup
