Rick & Morty fans this one is for you
Hey readers, welcome back & to the new readers I picked up just for the R&M fan-fiction, glad your here and welcome aboard. To my returning readers I know this is something a little different then normal but I am a big Rick and Morty fan so just relax and enjoy these paragraphs.
So for the people living under a rock and all the “Jerrys” of the world; who don’t know who or what R&M is. Some people compare it to “Back 2 the Future” I personally do see very small similarities but I wouldn’t even compare the 2. It is a cartoon series mainly featured on adult swim which is basically Cartoon Network for adults.
The series revolves around the wild interdimensional adventures of a Scientist (Rick) and his grandson (Morty) as his sidekick. The 2 are quite a pair with Rick’s high level of intelligence and Morty’s… well his Morty-ness. There are other semi main characters who occasionally partake in the antics like his daughter Beth, son in law Jerry, and granddaughter Summer. Also other wacky characters like Mr. Meseek, Mr. Poopybutthole and Bird Person.
Now I’m not going to explain the whole show in this blog, and I think its better to just watch a few episodes and come up with your own conclusion of the story line. I’m writing this blog to share some of my favorite fan fiction stories, already out there and in its second half of its 4th season trust me there are a lot of ideas about Morty’s true identity, What is R&M’s original universe, Is that Rick’s original Morty. Today are just a few of my own personal favorite ones.
Rick is Morty, Morty is Rick.
One of my favorites and I am almost 100% behind it. The ideology behind Rick actually being Morty. Now the first hole in this story comes from S1:E10, where our Rick’s mind is being downloaded and there is a memory of a baby Morty. So that would mean that Rick is his own grandfather which is pretty big twist. Being that of all the things Rick can do why would he pretends to be his moms’s father. Unless Morty felt for Beth because his grandpa walked out on her when she was very young and never returned. The only other really “god complex” example came up in S3:E3 where he did something remotely similar and turned himself into a pickle. Saying he was doing it because he could and the reason any one could would be because they can “which they can’t”. But we all know Rick just didn’t want to go to therapy with the family, which he admitted later on in the episode.
The second hole in this theory is Morty is legit retarded and Rick is clearly a super genius. So if neither of them is faking it how could the same person be hopeless as an adolescent but a universe jumping, timeline altering grandpa. The answer is MEGA SEEDS! We all know from S1:E1 that the effects of the mega seeds cause super intelligence as well as loss of body functions and that trademark drool we can often catch on Rick. That also ties this fan fiction in the the next one below.
There is so many other reasons why this could not be the story line but I find that one the most brain boggling. Also a few reasons why it could be true.
So the next one makes sense to me because it involves the beginning credits. So I always enjoyed a cartoon that had a different intro like The Simpson from my childhood and then as an adult on American Dad. Certain shows like South Park have also showed me the importance of changing the beginning credits by season so you kind of get a feel during the title what type of theme to expect or what part of the story line this episodes belong to.
Who is Rick’s original Morty?
Fan fiction theories would say our Rick’s original Morty was the one left in a universe of giant frogs after he tripped and then failed to get into the portal soon enough. This story line would also give some soft evidence to the next theory. If this Morty didn’t die in this universe but had to struggle to survive and build a hate for Rick. So much hate that it sparks an epiphany of some sorts and bring an unusual amount of success, for a Morty. Which isn’t that uncommon for Morty or the rest of the Smith family.
In S1:E6 Morty’s original Summer, Beth and Jerry were left in an universe where Rick turned the earth into a planet of genetic mutants all madly in love with Morty.
Later in S3:E1 Morty goes back into the universe to show Summer how meaningless life was and we get to see the rest of the family after living a Rick-free life for some time. In the dialect we get to see exactly how much rage they have on Rick and go as far trying to kill Summer for being basically an anomaly because of Rick’s universe hopping. Trying to destroying the portal gun to prevent Morty from leaving his original universe.
Another explain of Rick-free gains is in S2:E6 , when Morty; frustrated with Rick being the asshole he is and refusing to cooperate with Zeep to get home, wanders off in the woods to go live with the tree people. With in a matter of months which was clarified in dialogue , he not only learned the language and survived but became the leader of the indigenous people of the teenyverse by the time he ran into Rick again. Which he was originally not even looking for.
Thinking again how Rick basically just left Morty in that universe of giant frogs and we have heard Rick say that our Morty is not his original Morty and how easy it is to just find a new one from a new universe(as he did with the whole family at least once) and thus the fan fiction spirals out of control because that leaves us with the question unanswered in a sense. Since we still aren’t sure where that Morty is now and if he is even alive. Could he be Rick’s original Morty?
Who is Evil Morty, Where is his original Rick & why does he hate all Ricks so much?
Continuing with the information given in the few paragraphs above, if that Morty is still alive he is NOW what we know as Evil Morty. A lot fits into theory if you ask me. We aren’t sure where the Morty from that beginning credits went but if he survived it does seem pretty likely that he could be Evil Morty. In S1:E10 he composed an pretty elaborate plan to not only frame our Rick but also make it seem like one Rick was setting up another. Still no one on the other side of the 4th wall knows that it was really a Morty controlling the Rick that was framing our Rick.
That same Morty; presumably Evil Morty, went on later in S3:E7 to run for president of the Citadel. I don’t think an average Morty would ever be able to complete such schemes. But a Rick-free Morty with a clear goal of “Rick Must Die”.. now that seems highly believable.
“I feel like trying to figure out Rick and Morty’s true plot or story line is like the better half of a bad acid trip.”
Of course all these fan fiction theories I have brought to you pretty much cancel each other out and leave all questions still unanswered like the age old question: “Which came first the Chicken or the egg”. That is really the best thing about FF and having a great series like Rick and Morty that leaves so much unanswered so theories can be created, rebuttal and refuted all while still enjoying the show and understanding it enough to follow it. With the extremely long break in between episodes I expect nothing less.
Still waiting on the rest of season 4, we’ve been waiting for months now. -___- And we will continue to wait because we are already so deep in, broh.
I hope you enjoyed this blog. Might do a season on my podcast dedicated to Rick and Morty because if you are a fan of the show then you know that discussing fan fiction could go on and on, trust me I’ve done it with friends after a couple blunts. Feel free to let me know some of your favorite fan fiction theories and poke some more holes in the ones I have up here in this blog.
As always, thank you for stopping by and I see you all back here next time.
