Morty is seeing his life the same way falling apart, Rick is seeing life carry on happily. Mortys life got a little bit better, but Rick's life long purpose has been done and has has nothing
you make it sound like rick has it worst, morty lost his real family, his entire reality, then killed/replaced a version of himself. sure it sounds tame compared to the rest of the show but for teen experiencing it the first type it would screw with his entire perception, as far as he knows another morty could do the same to him. Rick lost literally nothing and can focus on doing littlerally anything, heck he hasn't even tried to unerase Diane with the omega device(or just cloning/some other method of resurrection
Both are dealing with existential dread. Morty's just lost his entire world and family, and now lives a lie with strangers, in a world where there are infinite versions of him and where there is no meaning to anything and no reason to continue to live. Rick has just completed his quest for vengeance and is now living a lie with a family of strangers, in an infinite universe, also with no reason to continue to exist.
I like how Morty's first action is to hug Rick and just keep conversation with him the whole trip, like he gets from experience Rick's likely in a weird place right now.
@@vondas1480He can't just unerase Diane. As Rick said: "When I build something it works." The Omega Device truly destroyed every version of Diane. There is no reality where she exists. Even outside the finite curve.
I think its super poetic how Beth & Jerry approximately appear at the same time in both, and that theyre fighting in the first one, and finally getting along in the second
You can tell that the "you lived in my house and raised my daughter" line really got to rick. All he ever wanted was to a husband and father and i hope he gets that by the time the series ends
I hope so too. His loneliness and isolation has always been a theme, I wonder if perhaps he will finally be happy to be somewhere where he isn't the worlds smartest man
I feel like he already has it, he just doesn't see it yet. He's focused his whole life on revenge and hopefully now he can truly move on and embrace the life around him.
If Rick Prime can erase Diane, Our Rick can bring her back. That should be Rick's new purpose; bring back his wife, even if it can't be his true wife (as she was killed before all other Dianes were erased), he can at least bring back every other infinite Diane.
@@hmk5123 we know how his quest for revenge has shattered him. Bringing back Dianne might not be a good idea, he probably isn't anywhere near the man he was when they were together. Loving what he already has is what he needs I think. God, I'm sounding like Dr Wong (Racist name BTW 🤣)
the evolution in the relationship between rick and morty is probably the best thing of the show, the dynamic between them is so different from season 1-2
It really is one of the best arcs in the history of television, and it's on a show where several characters have wielded diarrhea guns on multiple occasions.
it's so cool how overtime each season the relationship between beth and jerry has developed and everyone else and you could see that rick has basically taken the place of morty from season 1 episode 5
Also that Rick actually grew to be somewhat fond of Jerry, nowadays at worst poking some light jabs at him compared to how early on he vehemently despised Jerry to a violent extent.
@@joshuakim5240 It's been hinted at a couple of times, and yet every episode where they explore Rick and Jerry's relationship is a banger even to this day.
What's interesting is that in Season 1, Rick just got a beer for himself and Summer is just bored. But in Season 7, Summer is happier and it's implied Rick shares a beer with her at her request. Also the Jerry and Beth part--- It's a different Jerry but he gets along so well with both Beths compared to toxic Season 2 Jerry
Honestly Rick has one of the most realistic actions to revenge I’ve seen. Only true violent and heartless sociopaths enjoy revenge but not Rick. He spent years hunting Rick prime, he killed thousands he destroyed worlds he dated he murdered and he spent decades in a constant state of deep depression and nihilism and he finally finally kills the person who ruined his life and what does he have. Well nothing, his wife and Beth are still gone, his dimension is gone, most of his friends are gone and he just had another body to his count. The only difference is that now he doesn’t have a reason to keep going.
Revenge is not inherently evil or wrong, and moral absolutism oversimplifies complex human emotions. Rick received a huge provocation, and the idea that "revenge is evil" is a Disney myth. Your assertion that revenge is futile and leads to emptiness is just a consequences of his extreme reactions to an extreme provocation, rather than the inherent immorality of wanting revenge.
@@stickydolphin5038 I think you misunderstood the guy you replied to, he didn't say revenge is immoral, its just that Revenge was what kept this Rick going, his entire thing before taking on Morty was Revenge on Rick Prime, but now that is done, he has no reason to keep going or to stay with this family, or Morty. Remember that he took Morty on because he is Rick Prime's grandson, as bait, but the adventures they went on, actually brought them closer, same with the family, this Rick even if he doesn't want to admit to it, they grew as a family together, none of them want this Rick gone, and you can see that he has clones made for every one of them just incase any problems happens so that he can keep them alive. He even have Jerry's dna, during the entire christmas, Jerry can float episode, also the Big Foot episode we see Summer clones, we even have Beth's clones ready to go. Even thought they are not all from the same universe, they all decided to stay together as a family. Only need Rick to see that.
@@stickydolphin5038Good analysis, tough I wanna add a few things. I doubt revenge is executed on the basis of benefits. I believe revenge occurs as a result of a violation to an individual, essentially brutalizing their identity. Prime violated C-137 via destroying the thing he held most dear, family. I think C-137 doesnt seek real benefit in his revenge, he just did not accept the violation, and retributed simply because he is brutalized.
@@nickpolizzi9612 true, but prior to that he wanted all knowledge and his family, which at least to me seems like everything to him. But thanks for the accurate correction, I'll fix this. :)
bit more than that... Rick finished his life's work and now has no purpose did it feel good probably for a bit but now he has no goal driving him forward he's no longer a badass scientist out for revenge he's now a sad man who's wife was taken from him
Of course it does one is being forced to bury himself and the other is having an existential crisis after achieving a goal. But both have to find a way to keep living after that
oh it does, but the fact Rick is the one that's feeling a bit lost and unsure after so long is such a change of pace cause Rick's always been the confident one. The one absolutely sure about stuff. Now he's taken down the one person who he's been hunting effectively all his life, now what?
it's not just that morty buries himself, it's that rick takes him to one of infinite dimensions, where the sister he just lost is exactly the same. he's not morty, he's now just one of *infinite* morties
Crazy how he was staring at the time travel stuff, makes me think that is foreshadowing for something. Also crazy how rick looked after making fun of jerry at the table, at first he thinks he's happy but then is like "What is my purpose." He's the butter robot
Revenge often comes in to fill in a hole left by a tragic event. The problem is that once it’s over, when it’s gone, it just leaves an even bigger one in its place
A small detail I noticed when they're placing the bodies. Rick just tossed it in the hole while morty carefully pulled it in. Really shows that Rick isn't new to this sort of thing. While Morty is completely horrified by this situation. I'd imagine I would carefully place myself in a grave as well.
Crazy how they both basically went through the same thing. First Morty was traumatized from losing his real family from being cronenburged, then Rick finally getting his revenge after many long years only to find himself feeling empty and lifeless, thinking what now?.. I’m glad he finally avenged his wife and child.
If you want to get even more meta, Rick and Morty were voiced by the same person in Season 1, but are now two different people in Season 7, which is the exact opposite of how they've developed as characters, who are now in the same boat after experiencing life-altering events.
It is interesting to compare Jerry and Beth's dynamic in the first ptsd scene with the second. In one they are a disfunctionfal family and in the second they are semi-functional.
Loved the inverse realizations they had. Morty originally got a taste of why Rick was so detached and attempted so hard to be apathetic (which we learn was due to losing what mattered to him only to find so many replications of the same thing elsewhere) and his choosing to only focus on an undercurrent of revenge while ignoring or not allowing any deep meaning to connect him to those around him because there were "Infinite numbers of them so who cares". But morty doesn't do that. He keeps trying, even though he got separated from his original family (multiple times) he still strides forward, learning, adapting, becoming more jaded and mean in some ways and more courageous and kind in others. Then we have Rick. All that avoidance of genuine feeling bit him in the ass so many times, so many people calling him out on it because he was constantly failing at being detached not to mention creating his own misery, unable AND unwilling to move on or try to fix himself and thus damaging any future relationships (familial or romantic). Then, after losing friends, losing the Fear and Respect of the family, losing the awe by all those around him finally seeing that he was messed up and didn't want to get better, we watch as he gets his biggest win, only to realize it was not just a hollow victory, but one he willingly traded to someone just as powerful as him but with almost none of his hang ups, and now he's got... what? A future he maybe didn't expect to live to see? Family willing to allow him in that he maybe doesn't want or doesn't want To want? Nowhere to look but inside at what he has left, which by his own choices isn't much.
This video really shows how much the animation and artstyle has changed over the years. I like how even after all this time, Rick still doesn't close the fridge's door.
Its funny how the only thing that makes rick feel empty is the very thing he existed for . Finally got a taste of his own world being turned upside down.
I see it this way. Rick spent so much time focusing on revenge that he never healed from the pain of losing his family. Now it's hitting him like a brick in the face.
Morty’s issue is shock over how fast everything went south, how he lost his whole world 1:14 and how easily he can be replaced. Rick has already been through that already now his issue is different , his reason for being was revenge and he’s lost that and now he has to find a new purpose. The outward reaction is drawn the same in the cartoon but is it the same emotion.
Rick feels the same way Morty felt, he is now surrounded by a family that is not his own, and what is even sadder is when you learn that Rick never had a family of his own in the first place. His wife and daughter were killed very early on which led to summer and Morty never been borned . and beth not Even meeting Jerry, yeah that's fucked up
This is what I think. After killing an enemy named Rick Prime, what everyone realized was, "Revenge will get you nothing." It's just comfort in my heart
A big part of Harmon's story circle is the main character experiencing something traumatic as a consequence of achieving his/her initial main goal, which changes them deep down so much that he/she is forever changed. If Rick and Morty goes 10 seasons, his moment would be at the correct placement on the series Story Circle.
I’ve heard a theory that the reason why this music is played in both is because they feel the same emotion. How? Morty just lost his entire universe and had to bury in corpse. Intense shock. Rick? After getting revenge, the realization that his wife is dead finally set in. They both experience the initial shock after a huge loss.
While both are heavy, I feel the Unmortricken one has slightly more of a silver lining. Throughout the family are happy and interacting with Rick, Morty even checks on Rick and hugs him at the start. Rick is definitely feeling empty and contemplative, but I feel in Season 1-3 he'd be even more alone than Morty in the first clip and likely contemplating suicide like he had in other hardships back then, here he has more to consider. He and the Smiths have made some real steps since then. Really, beating Rick Prime wasn't Rick's biggest accomplishment.
The first one was Morty realizing how nothing mattered and he or his family that he's loved and cherished could be so easily replaced. The second one was Rick finally achieving his goal to avenge his wife and daughter only to realize he will never have his family back and instead he will have to live with a family that wasn't his own with no more desire to keep moving forward.
I love the expression he has at the dinner table. I think either that's the moment where either Rick realizes "Oh god, this is it. I'm sitting here, my greatest goal completed, with my family finally happy around me, and I still feel empty inside." Either that or its just him still being shellshocked and realizing that he has no clue what he just said because he's been running in a fugue state ever since he got home from killing Rick Prime.
I'm probably late to this realisation, but rick only went to C137, and came back into Beths life, to see if Rick Prime would show up. There may have even been a point where he was planning to kill the prime family in front of Prime Rick.
Rick sits there realizing he has nothing left. No purpose. No original family. Above all he's still living in Rick primes house. With the other versions of his family.
Morty is trying to cope with his old life being gone Rick is trying to cope with his life long goal being gone Gotta love when Rick and Morty have parallels
I realize that both these scenes are them realizing their lives are now completely different, but also the same that they've always been Morty was in shock that he is in a completely different universe that is also the exact same Rick finally killed his enemy which is what his entire life revolved around, so now he doesnt know what to do Everything feels different but still is the exact same
Good thing Rick is getting therapy. Maybe after the pickle episode the writers planned for more therapy sessions that led up to Prime Rick's death for the purpose of future therapy sessions. I'm sure there will be an episode where Rick gets close to ending his own life again and that's going to hit us so damn hard, like WAYY harder than the Unity episode. Very interesting character development.
Honestly... I see progress. See, how Morty was isoleted and ignored by everyone. Whole family were in their own heads and issues, and doesn't care about each other. But with Rick- he's isn't alone. Morty talks with him, other Smiths talks with him. They don't let him go spiral.
Notice also Morty is completely gone while Rick is showing little responses and signs of life from everyone checking on him. He's still there, if kinda numb and contemplative. I feel totally in Morty's situation, Rick might have tried to off himself again, believing he has 'peaked' and he has nothing else in life going for him, while here he has more to consider. Hell the first thing that happens after realising his life goal is done is get a hug from his grandson.
I mean... for Morty the same thing happend that happend to Rick: His family died. (Or in his case the entire planet...). So all his friends and his mother, father and sister are dead. And (I don't think he knows this yet) Rick isn't even his real grandfather... so that realization, that all his loved ones are dead and there is nothing he can do abouit it... and those people "are the same" but the "are NOT"... that's tough... especially on a kid like morty who is very good hearted. Ricks final is different because he realizes that his revenge didn't bring him any kind of fullfilment. He probably knew all along... but the one (and only) thing that has been driving him all this time is gone... and he doesn't know where to go from here on... So in a sense rick and morty do have two totally different realizations going on that are stupefying/numbing them.
The animation alone has come such a long way from season 1 in all the little subtle details just comparing Rick burying his corpse to comparing the Smiths and himself eating with all the little mannerisms they each have.
The duality and character development of this is so good, season 1 where the family is extremely toxic with each other and Rick not caring and in season 7 theyre now straight up a found and family, coming from different universes occupying another different universe(Parmeesian pronounced universe). From our Rick(C-137) leaving behind Jerry, Beth, and Summer in the cronenburged universe(prime) and only taking Morty(prime) with him to replace C-131 Rick and Morty to him now taking along those specific Jerry(Season 2, swapped Jerry boree), Beth, Space Beth, and Summer with him to leave the Mr. Frundles'd(C-131) universe.
I kind of wished Jerry ripped into his original family a little more for being dicks when he got sent back lol Yeah I think it’s great they’re a found family Who would have guessed the way to make Beth and Jerry’s marriage work was add another woman to it?
Everyone was shitting on morty for telling original jerry he could get a new beth and summer but completely forget this episode and all that mortys been through.
This is like Johnny Cash vs Trent Reznor's version of Hurt; however, instead of the same lyrics having different meanings, the scenarios themselves have different meanings.
Many episodes later, rick learned how to move on a little bit and became more appreciate with his new found yet the same alternate universe family. Rick grew a stronger bonding relationship with his morty as he goes on adventures. He never looks back again.
I don't know how, but this show literally just shown how I feel every second I'm awake. This show has such a emotional touch. Rick and Morty 100 years.

I see it this way. Rick spent so much time focusing on revenge that he never healed from the pain of losing his family. Now it's hitting him like a brick in the face.
0:34 did Rick just go to get Summer and himself a beer?
Maybe?
Cold be a soda
@@Giran023 it's the same cans as his beer from earlier in the episode
*When your newbie friend is starting to get better at the game and you are at your 10th lose streak:*
One thing is for sure… I’ll never listen look on down from a bridge the same way ever. Whoever picked the soundtrack has an impecable taste for music
Morty’s issue is shock over how fast everything went south, how he lost his whole world 1:14 and how easily he can be replaced. Rick has already been through that already now his issue is different , his reason for being was revenge and he’s lost that and now he has to find a new purpose. The outward reaction is drawn the same in the cartoon but is it the same emotion.
Thank you for making this. God, I love this show.
Honestly Beths and Jerry having a water fight is heartwarming.
Rick feels the same way Morty felt, he is now surrounded by a family that is not his own, and what is even sadder is when you learn that Rick never had a family of his own in the first place. His wife and daughter were killed very early on which led to summer and Morty never been borned . and beth not Even meeting Jerry, yeah that's fucked up
Rewatching this whole series is going to be a real treat when it’s all said and done the arcs we’ve gone through in a show like this is incredible!
This is what I think. After killing an enemy named Rick Prime, what everyone realized was, "Revenge will get you nothing."
It's just comfort in my heart
Which is *gay!* 😄
@@Fridaey13txhOktober I never meant to say that Please don't misunderstand
Bro it’s awesome you put these 2 episodes together, good work man
A big part of Harmon's story circle is the main character experiencing something traumatic as a consequence of achieving his/her initial main goal, which changes them deep down so much that he/she is forever changed. If Rick and Morty goes 10 seasons, his moment would be at the correct placement on the series Story Circle.
now rick knows exactly how morty felt.
I’ve heard a theory that the reason why this music is played in both is because they feel the same emotion. How? Morty just lost his entire universe and had to bury in corpse. Intense shock. Rick? After getting revenge, the realization that his wife is dead finally set in. They both experience the initial shock after a huge loss.
you are dead and yet alive this is the shock that these two faced at different time and different places
This moment from season 1 was when I knew that Rick and Morty was something different and special.
Rick prime : “what’s your life without me?”
Rick : let’s find out
I think it aged the way rick prime wanted it to
The parallels and the consistency. Love it 😍
The fact that Rick leaves the fridge open makes me anxious
in both lol
While both are heavy, I feel the Unmortricken one has slightly more of a silver lining. Throughout the family are happy and interacting with Rick, Morty even checks on Rick and hugs him at the start. Rick is definitely feeling empty and contemplative, but I feel in Season 1-3 he'd be even more alone than Morty in the first clip and likely contemplating suicide like he had in other hardships back then, here he has more to consider. He and the Smiths have made some real steps since then. Really, beating Rick Prime wasn't Rick's biggest accomplishment.
The first one was Morty realizing how nothing mattered and he or his family that he's loved and cherished could be so easily replaced.
The second one was Rick finally achieving his goal to avenge his wife and daughter only to realize he will never have his family back and instead he will have to live with a family that wasn't his own with no more desire to keep moving forward.
A man with all the knowledge has no way to know how to be happy.
I was looking for something like this, thanks!
I love the expression he has at the dinner table. I think either that's the moment where either Rick realizes "Oh god, this is it. I'm sitting here, my greatest goal completed, with my family finally happy around me, and I still feel empty inside." Either that or its just him still being shellshocked and realizing that he has no clue what he just said because he's been running in a fugue state ever since he got home from killing Rick Prime.
The moment they knew their lives weren’t gonna feel the same
Kinda wish this show focused on the main overarching story way more cause its really good when it does.
You can really see the differences in the production values. The background have so much more detail now.
I'm probably late to this realisation, but rick only went to C137, and came back into Beths life, to see if Rick Prime would show up. There may have even been a point where he was planning to kill the prime family in front of Prime Rick.
Imagina si eso hubiera pasado
Rick: mata a la familia de prime
Prime:como sea
Nothing beats Rick Potion Number 9. Set the foundation for the show. Morty truly realizing about the Multiverse always gets me.
That's amazing. I knew it reminded me of something!
Still leaves the fridge open, haha
0:41 all meaning is destroyed when you do it for the first time. Rick's now
Rick sits there realizing he has nothing left. No purpose. No original family. Above all he's still living in Rick primes house. With the other versions of his family.
Thanks for pointing out the parallels. See this is why I can't deal with shows that go on too long. You forget stuff
Everyone's getting better, improving
Except rick, he hasn't gone anywhere, and he's noticing
Morty is trying to cope with his old life being gone
Rick is trying to cope with his life long goal being gone
Gotta love when Rick and Morty have parallels
I dont know if I was supposed to but I was laughing the whole time in the new episode in this scene
Even the darkest most horrible purpose provides a happier life than no longer having a purpose.
I realize that both these scenes are them realizing their lives are now completely different, but also the same that they've always been
Morty was in shock that he is in a completely different universe that is also the exact same
Rick finally killed his enemy which is what his entire life revolved around, so now he doesnt know what to do
Everything feels different but still is the exact same
Morty feeling the death of another Morty for the first time, Rick feeling the death of another Rick for the first time.
Pleasure + Failure + Existential Trauma = Morty.
Pain + Success + Existential Trauma = Rick.
see this only made that episode even better. Im loving what they did with the last episode as well
I guess this song has become the theme song for existential crises now
Thank you for this
Good thing Rick is getting therapy. Maybe after the pickle episode the writers planned for more therapy sessions that led up to Prime Rick's death for the purpose of future therapy sessions. I'm sure there will be an episode where Rick gets close to ending his own life again and that's going to hit us so damn hard, like WAYY harder than the Unity episode. Very interesting character development.
This is exactly what I was thinking about when I saw this moment.
Honestly... I see progress. See, how Morty was isoleted and ignored by everyone. Whole family were in their own heads and issues, and doesn't care about each other.
But with Rick- he's isn't alone. Morty talks with him, other Smiths talks with him. They don't let him go spiral.
Notice also Morty is completely gone while Rick is showing little responses and signs of life from everyone checking on him. He's still there, if kinda numb and contemplative. I feel totally in Morty's situation, Rick might have tried to off himself again, believing he has 'peaked' and he has nothing else in life going for him, while here he has more to consider. Hell the first thing that happens after realising his life goal is done is get a hug from his grandson.
someone made it finally, the parallel
Mazzy Star is so damn good, really hits the feels
Some things take time to get over. It just is.
i started watching the video and my spotify music was under the bridge from red hot and it was perfect
I mean... for Morty the same thing happend that happend to Rick: His family died. (Or in his case the entire planet...). So all his friends and his mother, father and sister are dead. And (I don't think he knows this yet) Rick isn't even his real grandfather... so that realization, that all his loved ones are dead and there is nothing he can do abouit it... and those people "are the same" but the "are NOT"... that's tough... especially on a kid like morty who is very good hearted.
Ricks final is different because he realizes that his revenge didn't bring him any kind of fullfilment. He probably knew all along... but the one (and only) thing that has been driving him all this time is gone... and he doesn't know where to go from here on... So in a sense rick and morty do have two totally different realizations going on that are stupefying/numbing them.
The animation alone has come such a long way from season 1 in all the little subtle details just comparing Rick burying his corpse to comparing the Smiths and himself eating with all the little mannerisms they each have.
The duality and character development of this is so good, season 1 where the family is extremely toxic with each other and Rick not caring and in season 7 theyre now straight up a found and family, coming from different universes occupying another different universe(Parmeesian pronounced universe). From our Rick(C-137) leaving behind Jerry, Beth, and Summer in the cronenburged universe(prime) and only taking Morty(prime) with him to replace C-131 Rick and Morty to him now taking along those specific Jerry(Season 2, swapped Jerry boree), Beth, Space Beth, and Summer with him to leave the Mr. Frundles'd(C-131) universe.
I kind of wished Jerry ripped into his original family a little more for being dicks when he got sent back lol
Yeah I think it’s great they’re a found family
Who would have guessed the way to make Beth and Jerry’s marriage work was add another woman to it?
I knew that music was in another episode
Everyone was shitting on morty for telling original jerry he could get a new beth and summer but completely forget this episode and all that mortys been through.
We have come a long way.
This is like Johnny Cash vs Trent Reznor's version of Hurt; however, instead of the same lyrics having different meanings, the scenarios themselves have different meanings.
I was looking for the equsode where they first used the song. Super
Many episodes later, rick learned how to move on a little bit and became more appreciate with his new found yet the same alternate universe family. Rick grew a stronger bonding relationship with his morty as he goes on adventures. He never looks back again.
Amen hermano
The contrast is unreal
the two scenes have literally nothing in common except this music
I think I am experiencing one of these right now.
It’s crazy how the two scenes are similar beat for beat, it almost looks intentional
I don't know how, but this show literally just shown how I feel every second I'm awake. This show has such a emotional touch. Rick and Morty 100 years.
i'm happy they got back to the lore than only focusing on those Rick and Morty adventures, curious what's going to happen at this Season 7 finale.
seeing both beths and jerry getting along at almost the same time we see beth and jerry arguing the first time around is touching asf😭

I miss old Rick and Morty. Shit just don’t feel the same
