Still, some things never change, like Morty trying to kill someone with a spoon. One Jerry may be faster to pick up on what's going on than the others, while one Rick may even be supportive of his daughter instead of calling her a bitch for questioning Rick's motives for creating the decoys in the first place. Episode writer Albro Lundy gets a lot of mileage out of showing different versions of the Smith family and the small differences between them. Just before we get tired of the format of seeing a family check on the decoys, only to realize that they might be decoys themselves, before another family comes in and kills them, Mortiplicity raises the stakes or introduces a new layer of weirdness to maintain the show's familiar lightning-fast pace.Īfter a quick montage of dozens of Smith families maiming, assassinating each other, or committing suicide, we jump to a sanctuary for decoys. Like the best episodes of Rick and Morty, the concept is taken to its most ridiculous extremes, as the further remove a decoy is from the original, the weirder they get, like a Smith family made of robots, or wooden dolls, or gruesome The Texas Chainsaw Massacre-inspired creatures that wear human faces as disguises.

RELATED: 'Rick and Morty' Season 5 Episode 1 Recap: The Smith Family Keeps A-Changin' As one Rick explains, "It's Highlanderrules." Because of the number of decoys all there who have no idea if they are the original, they won't stop killing the other Ricks until there is only one. You see, in Rick's narcissism, he never thought to realize that once you create a perfect copy of Rick, he'd start making his own copies of himself because he thinks he's the original, and those copies would then make copies themselves, thinking that they are the original. But this is the hardest the show has dived into the concept, as we start to suddenly meet more and more clones that die horrible deaths.

Then we cut to another Rick, who is very much alive and explains that a decoy family has been killed and they are now in danger, which should have been clear from the start, since decoy Jerry said he had a job interview later that day.Ĭlones are a classic sci-fi trope, one that this very show has toyed with before - it's only been a couple of episodes since we last saw Space Beth, after all. Before they can sneak up and kill him mob-style, the family is brutally murdered by space squids. I personally wont be watching the new seasons, ill stick with the classics.We start with a classic Rick and Morty scene in which the family sits around the breakfast table while Rick and Morty proudly proclaim that they are going to kill the Christian God (who is real and has been asleep for thousands of years). All i meant with this post is that he's the main essence of rick and morty, he voices more than 2 characters. Hes a great voice actor but a fucked up dude. I understand he cant be a part of the show and i dont blame the creators for dropping him. Im sorry for my ignorance guys, i just dont have that much info on the whole thing. I have been a victim of domestic violence so i am in no way defending it Im not defending him, but i shouldnt have mentioned allegations as some people are taking it to believe as if i think he didnt do it. I dont watch podcasts or keep up with news, so im sorry if im a little late, i only found out today RIPĮDIT Ok apparently i wasnt quite clear enough, apologies.

No one will capture the essence of the characters like justin roiland did.

As much as i hate domestic violence, i wont be able to watch with different voices to rick, morty and a load of other characters. The show dropped him due to some allegations of domestic violence.
