[QUOTE=MendozaMan;52047831]So basically [sp]this was literally ALL a play for the creator of R&M to get mcDonalds to bring back the szechuan sauce for mcNuggets. WHAT IN THE FUCK.

[QUOTE=Annoyed Grunt;52047473][sp]He says right after, it was all a ruse to make Beth not hate him and make him the patriarch of both the family, and the universe.[/sp] [sp]I am actually surprised they were done with the Cronenberg universe so fast. One does not think too strongly about it because it happens six episodes in the first season, when the show really has not established that much continuity, and it is seen as nothing more than a gag about "reset buttons" that are so common in continuity-less shows. But now that the show has reached its third season, the fact that Rick (and even Morty, which makes it that more fucked up) just bailed on an entire dimension and their original families really does put a dent in the capability to believe that Rick does actually care in his family[/sp] [sp]My own personal theory is that Rick [I]was[/I] a gigantic piece of shit, and didn't give a fuck. The Cronenberg incident was his biggest fuck up to date and that was the point he started caring, which explains why he wouldn't want anything like that to happen again.[/sp] [sp]Or maybe he's just a gigantic dick for real, that's also a completely reasonable possibility.[/sp] The best and worst part about this show is that while you can usually assume that whenever somebody gets all epilectic trees about a cartoon they're definitely looking waaaaay too much into it, with Rick and Morty anything could actually happen and the writers' answers to fucking out of left field theories is making canon that is even further away from the left field.[/QUOTE] [sp]I think the reason Rick was able to bail on universe c-137 into wherever they are now is because he didn't really have any emotional connections to the family. To him all Beths are important so ditching one for another doesn't make a difference in the grand scheme of things and he never did anything with Summer c-137. He was willing to save the current Summer because he actually formed a bond with her like he did with Morty c-137. Rick is completely amoral and he only cares about 3 things. Morty c-137, the current Summer, and all incarnations of Beth. Even then because caring can get him hurt he does everything he can to either not care or to shit on Morty and Summer to drive them away so he doesn't have to care. I think Rick's remark that he'll never take Jerry on an adventure again "because he crossed me" speaks volumes about Rick. He never gave much of a shit about Jerry before, even allowing him to tag along because it meant nothing to him either way. He never went after the Council of Ricks because the one time they went after him they were justified in a way Rick could understand (even if he disagreed), he never went full on against the Galactic Government because fighting a rebellion would mean becoming invested. It's only after they cross him that he goes full annihilation mode on them. Killing his friends and locking him up, trying to assassinate him and kidnapping his grandkids, and standing up to him are the ways in which he was crossed and he did the most destructive things he could in retaliation (destroy two governments and ruin a man's life), which actually fits Rick's past behaviour well. Rick usually finds the fastest solution to a problem but he rarely goes out of his way to attack people, and when he does it's usually because all other options (which aren't harder than killing) have run out or someone has attacked him directly. Also, Rick definitely cared before the Cronenberging since there's a picture of Morty as a baby in Birdperson's house along with the picture of Rick and Birdperson rocking out, and Rick wasn't around until about a year before the show started. So either current universe Rick was more different to Rick c-137 than we know (which seems unlikely as no one has ever commented on any differences) or Rick found some way of getting a picture of baby Morty, and more importantly he cared enough to bother doing it in the first place.[/sp]
[sp] Anyone else slightly thrown off by the fact that "our rick" (the conscious of the one we started with) just kinda casually swapped bodies and nuked the previous one like it was nobody's business? Idk I just thought that was a tad bit weird especially after seeing his old body take a bullet to the face. [/sp]

He knows that the next moment he opens his eyes after he uses the swapper he now possesses a gun, and his old body is now the enemy. He also doesn't think one step ahead, he thinks 15. Swap the guy, shoot old body, shoot enemy, do it fast. Contact enemy base, transmit to higher authority via radio (???), destroy both enemies in one fucking go. The fact that he had that fake gun shows that he already thought about what was going to happen the minute the bug agent started interrogating him. [/sp] In short, rick IS the smartest man in the universe.

[/sp] In short, rick IS the smartest man in the universe.[/QUOTE] [sp]Being totally amoral definitely makes him both incredibly powerful and impossible to predict. Nobody except another Rick would have predicted that number of body swaps, but even the Council didn't seem to have a process in place in case that happened, something about C-137 is different. As long as his conciousness is still intact, he doesn't seem to care what form he takes or what means he uses to get something done. Swapping bodies and destroying the old one means nothing because it's not "him" any more, it was him, but now it's either empty or another Rick. Holding zero attachment to himself because he knows he's not a "good" person, but wants to survive.[/sp] At least, that's how I've viewed the character since Cronenberg-verse happened.
Thinking about it, [sp]if the origin story was only partially fake for this particular Rick, he was basically crafted by other Ricks to be this way after /someone/, whether another Rick, the Evil Morty or otherwise, bombed his Diana and Beth for the sake of spiting him and/or predicting the path he'd take. Which would imply that the Galactic Rick fuckover was long-a-coming given their sheer spite for him.[/sp]

[sp] Rewatching the episode, I noticed that the inter-dimensional rick talking to young rick in the memories said that "It's a non-stop party where all the guests are the only person we like". But current Rick hates himself, it's what makes him different. But this doesn't mean shit if the memory was fake in the first place[/sp]

He had to sell it to the interrogator after all, despite being in a position to take control. They think Rick can't manipulate memories, but what if he made one up? After all, he's the one who had to take them there.[/sp]
[sp]I think it's a true memory, with the only change being his formula. I see Rick as the kind of guy to show some vulnerability only to then go back and try to disguise it as a joke or part of a scheme. "Wubba lubba dub dub!" The only thing I want to know is that, if it's true, what had happened in our Rick's continuity between the death of his family and him returning to a different Beth's life months before the pilot episode. Mainly because the Beth in the new Cronenberg World and the current universe both had a Rick that had disappeared, leaving both her and her mother.[/sp]

This rick genuinely wants to be with Diana and Beth (Diane aint around for some reason though in either universe), Rick knew those ricks wouldnt be back so he just slid in their spots. That said, doesn't make sense as the rick in the new universe was killed by Rick. I think this is the fall of character season but we'll see[/sp]
Surprised that I haven't seen this posted anywhere yet, it's beautifully animated. [video=youtube;51y9JIpzZbU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51y9JIpzZbU[/video]
[sp]You may think that Rick cares about his family at times but his speech psychosis at the end of the episode made me worried it's not just about hiding it, but he would really just utilise his family more and look for more power (him mentioning he's the universe ruler).[/sp]

[sp]Rick may claim to not care about Morty or Summer, but he clearly cares about them more than most other Ricks. The Council of Ricks episode showed that they only really regard Morties as accessories and they make literally zero references to Summer at all. I can't think of any citadel shots where we see her. One of the Ricks even use Hammer Morty as a human shield before getting killed. Rick may never give a straight answer to the audience about if he cares or not, but he clearly regards them as being more than just iterations. The only exception I can think of is him taking the Free Morty coupon at the end of the Council of Ricks episode.[/sp]

He is the only Rick that has denied joining the Council of Ricks. There's something different about C-137 Rick compared to the rest of them.[/sp] [sp]I'm thinking the memory is real. The Council of Ricks went around recruiting multiverse Ricks to gain access to the portal technology earlier than waiting on their own breakthroughs. C-137 Rick didn't want that, instead desiring a life with his family so he could watch Beth grow up. The Council of Ricks plan an attack on C-137 Rick and kill his wife and daughter, hoping it would force him into the Council. From then on, C-137 Rick finished developing the portal technology and used it to hop from multiverse to multiverse, finding dimensions where that dimension's Beth had been abandoned by her Rick. In each of these, something tragic would end up happening forcing C-137 Rick to hop to another universe.[/sp] [sp]This makes a shitload of sense because C-137 Rick has pictures of young Morty even though Beth has said he hasn't been around for 20 years. Morty is only 14, so that can't be possible. It also explains why Rick says "we only have a few of these left" after the Cronenberg episode, as C-137 Rick has already been to most of the other universes with a nearly identical Smith family only to be forced to abandon them for some reason.[/sp] [sp]Just a lot of speculation, but if this is all true then that would mean C-137 Rick has the most tragic story of them all, and also explains why he's the only one we see throughout the entire show so far that has some kind of a drinking problem.[/sp] [sp]His rant at the end of the first S3 episode shows how broken he actually is. He's been set on destroying the Council of Ricks for a long time now and it's pretty obvious that he is against any and all forms of attack against him and his well being. C-137 is attached to Morty, Summer, and Beth but has no desire for Jerry, which is something I always thought was pretty clear from the get go.[/sp]
Jerry's situation [sp]is for the best-- for him most of all.[/sp] also nice snippet of audio i missed the first time, [sp]9/11 rick: "... as an excuse to take away our freedom!"[/sp] niiiiiice, justin.

I love their sauces though and I need to try them with mcnuggets some time. I'll try CFA nuggets again soon as well, maybe I just got a not so fantastic batch? Tasted a little too crispy to me.
I don't know if they changed their sauces or not, but 7 years ago I used to love them, now they just don't do it for me.
