Rick has had...

4 beths...

2 Summers...

But only ever one Morty.

RICK AND MORTY "Cryo Mort a Rickver"

[fear-no-mort]

Season 8 Morty Smith aka Morty crashing out

Thanks for the ride, Rick. // Your son sucks! Ugh! // Now listen to me. You. Stupid. Old. Man. //

And can't forget sassy Morty:

Fashion's cyclical, babe. I'm retro. // This guy?

No one:

Rick Sanchez: Man I wish Morty were here with me, this would be so much cooler with Morty

Rick and Morty didn't have a ton of screentime together in season eight (hopefully, that changes in season nine), but I actually thought they seemed closer in seasons 6-8 than they did in earlier seasons where they spent more time on screen together? Some of the moments I noticed in season eight include:

Morty eagerly joining Rick on adventures rather than sighing as Rick grabs his arm and drags him through a portal

Rick asking Karen and Doug not to get Morty in trouble after Morty beats him up

Morty pulling Rick out of the way when a priest tries to whack him with a baseball bat

Rick killing Thistle after he bites Morty

Rick saying "All right, Morty, grab the sealant, I'll make this quick" like an actual grandfather, not barking orders at him

Rick bringing Morty back to the citadel ruins to help him find his lost fidget spinner

Morty telling Rick off when he feels like it instead of being afraid to cross him

Rick trying to make Morty feel better about Morty Jr.

Rick and Morty having ordinary conversations, like Rick telling Morty the entire plot of a movie

Aside from "Summer of All Fears" (I guess that was this season's "mean Rick" episode), Rick and Morty seemed less like a crazy old man terrorizing his grandson and more like a couple of idiots getting in trouble together. They might've had more interactions in earlier episodes, but those scenes heavily involved Rick insulting and abusing Morty. Now, they're on more equal footing.

i needed to play this back a couple times. moment of lucidity . that particular lack of respect and careful regard in their relationship that actually makes it more insane in the way that works for both of them that they couldn’t have with any of the others. and makes them feel close in the way that youd feel bonded with a toy you’re responsible for dirtying and breaking beyond repair
