I honestly did enjoy the latest episode even though I am a little critical of the direction they decided to take Evil Morty this episode. The mystique I got after the various Citadel of Ricks episodes is finally gone, and I was honestly satisfied with Evil Morty fucking off to never be seen again in his last arc.
Don’t get me wrong, the latest episode’s plot was cohesive, the character arcs were logical and understandable, the animation went hard, and all around 5 stars.
I just loved Evil Morty as one of the main villains, and even though I’m sure this won’t be the last we see of him, I’m just a little sad that I probably won’t ever feel the same excitement from seeing him return as now the veil of mystery is gone.
Anyways, cheers to a new season. Nerd rant over.
Yeah, I’m in 100% agreement here. His thesis statement, “That’s what makes me evil–being sick of him. And if you’ve ever been sick of him, then you’ve been evil, too.” was so good. The idea of a Morty who wanted to chase the pure freedom and chaos of an unfiltered, infinite universe and him being painted as evil as a result was such an interesting character.
I don’t mind that they brought him back, but I do wish that was the underpinning motivation of his character still. Or, if they wanted to subvert that, that while he craves pure freedom, he ultimately learns he doesn’t want to become as detached as Rick (as he saw when they last met) and still wants some connection to Rick or his family.
