    Season 4 of Rick and Morty is giving us a brand new, deeper look into the mind of our favorite genius, Rick Sanchez. Throughout the run of the show, people have speculated about what's going on with the smartest man in the universe. Today, I have gathered all the data I need to really dissect his brain. I think we may all have judged Rick a little too fast... or did we?

    I think it's Summer's emotional intelligence that sees the pain in Rick. She understands that its a mask and she has one to, to some degree. I think that's why she is his favourite, and why he deliberately excludes her.

      considering he's probably summoning wormholes with his portal gun and wormholes are what theoretically appears when you fold a universe in half, he'd be restricted to only being able to teleport to one half of the universe, so there's about a 50% chance that would've been impossible
      but that's just a theory, a *film theory*
      edit: now that I think about it, it would actually be possible to teleport anywhere in the universe including the second half if he just uses it twice

He truly despises the 'common good' or 'higher purpose' notion because that is exactly what made him miserable: maybe he went with Bird Person and Squanchy on dangerous and illegal missions to save the universe, but eventually it ended up to losing his family!

    I still believe his family actually died, and he jumped to another dimension where he himself had died (so he could take his place) but Beth is alive.
    That’s why he “disappeared” for so many years; it’s when the Rick of the reality we follow was dead, before our Rick came from another dimension.
    Our Rick is mourning the family he lost, while living with a replica of them.

There are even morties with no Rick's and even ricks with no families. So it isnt hard to believe that C137 Rick and Morty have no one but each other. We also know that C137 Rick genuinely loved his original family. We know the baby Morty in his memory is not the current Morty and it would also explain why, since dumping their last reality, Rick has become more invested in this family but wildly swings from genuine affection to callous indifference. But seen in season 4 finale and season 5 episode 2, Rick has found himself entangling himself deeper in the family. As Beth says in the latest episode. He's become afraid of losing them

    Rick's wife couldn't of died and she definitely raised Beth after he left her but We never see her in any universe he visits. There's no way she died in every reality. In the episode where bird person gets married, Rick says he couldn't make his marriage work. Insinuating that they broke up. Surely if he broke up with one, he could move to an identical universe but one where Rick doesn't exist and meet her again.
    It's more likely that his wife is just as clever as him and is hiding from him in every reality. Like the citadel of Rick but for her. Beth is very head strong and dominant over Jerry, it is likely that her mother was as well making her and Rick clash being both dominant. It's likely he wishes he'd given in more to her to make himself happy.
    Anyways, just a thought.

      Or his wife deleted herself from every reality and rick just blames himself, drinks and tries to forget everything about it. If his wife exists in every reality, there's a reality where she is bad at hiding. Ricks would have found her. Maybe rick made a mistake and deleted her. Fact is, her totality or avatars of her in the shows "real time" haven't showed up yet.

      This is another detail that needs to be confirmed, it just make sense.
      Rick and his portal gun is like an addiction of escapism in something like the Remote of Morty in The Vats Episode.
      The Portal gun is Rick's way to see in thw multiverse, his flaws, his strenghts, his successes, and his mistakes.
      Yet his wife is constant on every multiverse, he cannot change, escape, chase, or fix.

      @user-dz2hj6jo5h Před 3 lety +22

      Agree, Rick specifically said that his marriage ended in failure, but i think she still died also. Like when rick said to Beth that she made the crap out of those eggs and then followed it up by ‘i wish your mother was here to taste them’ or something close to that, which kinda insinuates that she’s not alive because a divorce doesn’t mean loosing contact with your kids. The only other thing i could think of is that the mother may have dementia and so whether she’s alive or not she doesn’t really visit her family, cos she’s physically incapable.

      yeah, we know for a fact that the c-137 sanchez family isn't Rick's original family, because Rick was actually present at the birth of Morty, which he wasn't for c-137 morty as he had "been gone for so many years". His past is truly a mystery.

      @@lordjaxter6968 Rick and Morty are from say Universe 1, but Beth, Summer, and Jerry are from Universe 2. Remember, their Rick and Morty died in season 1.
      We know Rick identifies as C-137, but we don’t know if Morty is C-137. Nor do we know Evil Morty’s identity either.
      Universe 2 Beth says Rick was gone for 20 years.
      Universe 1 Beth did as well.
      Rick C-137 held Morty when he was little. It’s not possible for Rick to have been gone for that long and not miss holding Morty. Plus he at least knows, but also somehow remembers Jerry and Beth going to Prom, and him knocking up Beth.
      - Rick also fought a Revolution and became a wanted criminal to the Galactic Government.
      It is possible Universe 1 Rick is still out there, never re-contacting Beth, on top of Universe 1 being messed up already.
      This means Morty of (unknown) has never met his original Rick.
      Rick C-137 also knows a confident Morty is a bad Morty. Speaking from experience perhaps? Further proving Morty isn’t Ricks first Morty.
      Also, Dianne is likely out there somewhere, since Beth and Rick never say she is dead. Why she doesn’t visit her grandkids I don’t know, maybe because Rick is there?

    its interesting stumbling over this vid after watching the GoBots/Voltron episode in series 5. Looking at how Rick becomes obsessed by Gobots and the whole family gives him all the attention he craves and how summers role was so big in the episode it really applies to additional weight to this Just A.

    When Rick show the memory of his wife and his daughter Beth dying it is a real memory because it is from a different universe that that Rick originally belong to and Rick left his universe and came to the new universe where this Beth’s Rick left her when she was a kid so that’s why Rick from our dimension doesn’t talk about it
