Rick and Morty Episode 7 Season 3 Review
Holy Rick! They've done it again!
The Ricklantis Mixup is about the fifth time this season that I've watched an episode and thought "wow, this might be the best Rick and Morty episode they've ever fabricated!" Not bad when you're only seven episodes in.
There'south so much to unpack from this episode that it's hard to know where to even start. After some classic Rick and Morty misdirection, our main characters are off on some other crazy hazard, except this time we're ditching them to explore life on the rebuilt Rick and Morty Citadel.
That'south correct, every character in this episode is some version of either Rick or Morty which means that Justin Roiland voices every single line of the episode – and he'due south up for the challenge every bit each character has their own unique vocalisation whilst still staying true to their inherent Rick or Morty-ness. It'southward actually quite a masterful performance, which yous'll notice if you go dorsum and watch the episode with that in heed.
It'due south actually quite interesting that all these Rick and Mortys would come together to rebuild the citadel considering how anti-Rick the whole thought is (as our main Rick has pointed out earlier) and this episode actually explores the fallacy of such a guild existing.
Even if everyone is a super-genius, someone needs to fill all the manual labour jobs. Just like in our globe, societies are fabricated up of an elite few who have the majority of ability and wealth whilst everyone else does the menial work necessary for civilisation to flourish. And then of course, in a world total of super-geniuses, there's going to exist a lot of dissent.
It isn't just Ricks that are suffering, merely Mortys as well, every bit we see them treated, basically, equally 2d rate citizens. The idea that a Morty's purpose is limited to being a sidekick to a Rick is heavily reinforced. We get a glimpse into 'Mortytown,' which is basically a slum full of Rick-less Mortys who accept gone off the rails, and information technology isn't pretty.
The Ricklantis Mixup focuses on four main storylines
Each of the storylines explored evidence Rick and Mortys breaking free from the restrictions the rules of the citadel have placed upon them, and in most cases it ends in disaster. A Morty who's lost five Rick partners jumps to his death because he'southward so sick of the bicycle he'south stuck in ("I wish anything well-nigh this life would change").
A novice cop Rick ends up shooting his partner, a jaded-cop Morty, due to his corruption and willingness to so easily kill off other Mortys ("Call me a sidekick one more time!"). A factory worker Rick ends upward shooting his boss and taking Simple Rick (who'due south stuck reliving happy memories in order to produce the secret ingredient for wafers!) earnest later on existence passed on for a promotion. In the finish, he gets tRICKed into thinking he will exist getting a better life, but instead becomes a replacement for Unproblematic Rick.
The other storyline is perhaps the well-nigh interesting one of all, as it shows a very capable Morty attempting to run for President of the citadel. After enduring plenty of mockery from plenty of Ricks, he'south able to win anybody over with a populist speech that promises people a improve life where everyone will be appreciated for their unique private talents.
It's what everyone wants to hear, but of grade, information technology's a lie. That's just not how societies piece of work, but a great example (and one we come across in our own world all the time) of how republic tin can be manipulated by a leader with a populist message.
His ex-campaign manager (some other Morty) ends up coming across the truth about this Morty from a shady Rick ("It's secrets, what do you think it is? Await at how I'g dressed") and attempts to electrocute this dangerous Morty simply doesn't become the job done and is imprisoned and murdered.
The victorious Morty then begins his reign the way that whatsoever good dictator does – by murdering those in ability who oppose him. He and then begins "a cold calculated speech with sinister overtones," while some of his immediate changes to social club are shown. And, if you haven't realised information technology by now, the music gives information technology abroad with one of those brilliant moments that'south spring to requite you lot tingles down your back.
Evil Morty is dorsum!
That's right, it'due south Blonde Redhead'southward 'For the Damaged Coda', which ways that it's Evil Morty from all the way back in Season 1'south 'Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind!'
He's the ane that was secretly controlling the nigh evil Rick and using him to kill off various Ricks throughout the multiverse, whilst framing our Rick for it. We've been anticipating his return for a long while now and he'due south officially back and in charge of the citadel, which tin can only mean trouble for our favourite Rick and Morty pairing.
What does he desire with the citadel? Does he plan to go on killing off more Ricks? Does he want to sever the Rick and Morty bail forever? Or does he just crave power for power's sake? Chances are we won't find out direct abroad every bit Dan Harmon likes to play the long game, so don't be surprised if nosotros don't see a follow up this season.
What nosotros do know is that at that place'southward now a serious threat in the universe to our favourite Rick that hasn't existed since he wiped out the Galactic Federation and blew up the old Citadel in the kickoff episode of Season 3, 'The Rickshank Rickdemption.' Which at present makes this the nearly anticipated showdown in Rick and Morty history.
Like I said at the showtime, it'due south some other absolutely bright episode in what's now clearly the best season of Rick and Morty so far. There's a lot of actually dark stuff shown here, just of course at that place's nevertheless plenty of humour ("You're pitching the policemen'south ball to a black teenager here").
It'due south hard to run into this episode beingness topped, only they've done it earlier and probably (hopefully) volition do it again. Make sure to check out our reviews of Episode five, Episode 4, Episode 3, Episode 2 and Episode 1!
