leave it Rick and Morty turning his season finale into a scathing review war of stars. Season 6 Episode 10 began as a cute Christmas special about how much our newly reformed Rick (Justin Roiland) loves his family. But it doesn’t take long for that holiday cheer to turn into holiday treason of the highest order.
I wonder what this new episode might mean Rick and Mortys future? We’ve got you covered. Consider this your guide to the Adult Swim season 6 finale.
How works Rick and Morty End of season 6?
It wouldn’t be Rick and Morty if it has not been reset at the end of the season. Have you noticed that Rick has been extra helpful since Analyze Piss? That’s because he replaced himself with a robot programmed to be 22 percent nicer to Morty and his family. That was the one who actually helped Morty through Ein Rick in King Morturs Mort, and he gave Morty his lightsaber in Ricktional Mortpoon’s Rickmas Mortcation.
Most of the finale followed Morty and the President (Keith David) as they attempt to retrieve Morty’s dropped lightsaber before it hit Earth’s core. At the beginning of this panicked adventure, Morty learned that his grandfather had replaced himself with a robot. After the self-examination that took place in “Analyze Piss,” Rick realized he had to catch the Rick who murdered his wife and daughter before he could move on. That’s one of the reasons he gave up on Morty’s knight quest.
“I’ve become what I hate. It’s like Netflix drama down here,” Rick says. “And I don’t mean a good one by accident. I mean your regular Netflix drama.”
As painful as that was, it wasn’t the only betrayal Morty faced. Shortly after the President confiscated Morty’s lightsaber because it was too dangerous, he made the same mistake as our titular teenager. The President dropped the lightsaber and nearly destroyed Earth—again. Instead of trying to recruit the real Rick, Morty teamed up with Robot Rick to confront the President. There was a fight at the Mos Eisley Cantina and a lightsaber weapon, but everything went back to normal in the end. The real Rick saved Morty, the nicer robot Rick died, and the President walked away unharmed. But as always in these finales, it’s what happens in the final moments that really sets the stage for what’s to come.
what could happen Rick and Morty Season 7?
If you need proof that Rick has really changed, watch the end of Ricktional Mortpoons Rickmas Mortcation. Since Episode 1, Rick has been preventing Morty from his original task of tracking down Rick Prime. But in the season 6 finale, he changed his mind and actually let Morty help him.
“Hunting him destroyed me, Morty, but now we’re going to do it together,” Rick says in a tirade reminiscent of the season one finale. “You and me. It’s going to take over your life, Morty.” Rick and Morty season 7 chasing my nemesis. Maybe you’re trying to stay sane doing it. Plate juggling. Not every episode, Morty. It might be happening in the background. Who knows? Nobody but us. It’s the most painful shit I’ve ever had to deal with, and I’m bringing you in because you asked, Morty. You and me, Morty.”
So if you were hoping for a huge season on Rick Prime, it looks like we’re about to get one. Fingers crossed Season 7 is coming out soon.
