@5hrignold agreed!

does anyone think about the fact that rick never actually said "no" when morty asked him if he was bait for rick prime?

i doubt hes bait now but instead of just saying "no morty. youre not." he evades a clear response and instead specifically says "for you to be bait, it would mean he cares about something. he truly does not give a shit"

this is...interesting. theres sort of an implication there that rick KNOWS for sure rick prime doesnt care about anyone or anything. including his original family

i feel like, originally prime smith family WAS bait. or maybe as close to bait as they could be. rick has done some really terrible things with no remorse and when he finally joined the prime smiths, he was at his lowest point. i think rick reached a point where he was fully willing to kill this family to get back at prime

but prime didnt care. prime would never care. "he's the real deal."

so rick just...stayed there. and yea, morty is not bait NOW, so he technically didn't lie to the kid

#rick and morty #rnm #rick sanchez #rick prime #morty smith #he avoided the question in a similar way to the end of close rick counters of the rick kind #which makes a lot of sense considering how he didn’t want to admit to morty that he cared about him/that he did good #and i can’t help but think that he was scared to see that defiance and leadership in morty the way he saw it in prime?#especially with him saying ‘i’ve seen what happens when a morty gets too cocky’ and refusing to tell morty what he means #(‘i’ll tell you when you’re older)#which is not only a classic example of rick avoiding giving an answer #but also very interesting considering the more recent meta references about the lack of ageing/morty being 14 forever #and dan harmon himself saying the show could end with morty turning 15 #it would be interesting if the show itself was a universe rick had created #and for him to heal he had to destroy it (end the show)#it would be very cool on a meta level especially the way rnm handles that stuff #almost akin to like our universe being another ‘microverse’ or simulation #or even something like the roy game #where time is running much faster inside than out #so it’s almost like the show is our view into that dimension #and he’s still outside trying to decide what to do in real life #especially considering that the next two episodes after solaricks both feature this concept?#i think would it be a cool way of having an ending that was deliberately ambiguous #(eg bojack horseman ending without you really knowing if bojack will improve or not)#i can imagine rick realising in the ‘simulation’ (the show) that what he needs to do #or if the other ricks put him in a simulation (a la simple rick) as some sort of punishment? or maybe trying to see if his story checked ou #especially the way in his crybaby backstory the building of the citadel is largely glossed over #and just goes straight to him crashing into the prime dimension #it makes you wonder how much of what we’re seeing really happened)#and especially since solaricks makes a clear point about rick ‘forgetting about ageing’ in his timeloop in c137
