History YMMV / RickAndMortyS5E3ARickconvenientMort

** Rick has wildly disgusting sex with an alien who has breasts growing from her elbows while an entire planet has an incest-laced orgy.

** Beth gets the verbal beatdown some fans felt she deserved.

* HarsherInHindsight: This episode came out around the same time details of Music/BritneySpears's conservatorship under her father became more publicly known,[[note]]Among other things, Britney was at the time unable to make financial decisions for herself or even get her IUD removed so she can have more children[[/note]] so seeing the adult Tina-Teens exploit Planetina to the point they're willing to sell her into literal slavery has an extra dark subtext.

** Planetina. She goes through extreme measures, but it ''is'' true that Earth is in a desperate situation. Morty gets upset about her actions, yet never actually tries suggesting an alternative course of action

%% Broken Base has a 6-month waiting period before examples can be added.

** Justin Roiland ''masterfully'' conveys Morty's heartbreak at having to dump Planetina after witnessing her killing dozens of workers while helpless to stop her, showcasing just how hurt the boy really is inside.
** Sarah Chalke's performance when Beth comforts Morty is done perfectly, selling Beth's compassion and sympathy for her son in an amazing manner.

** Morty's relationship with Planetina is noted by many, including Beth, to look like ephebophilia since she looks like an adult woman and has existed since TheNineties, while Morty is 14.

** The coal miner who snaps at Planetina. A jerkass who would sell out his own planet for short-term gains for sure, but he's not exactly wrong when he says he needs the income. In real life, plenty of coal miners actually are willing to move into more eco-friendly jobs, but have the bad luck of being stuck in towns where the mining industry has too strong a hold. Then again, Morty wasn't on board with actually wanting to harm the miners and Planetina was clearly unhinged at that point.

** The lack of a "Heart" element for the Tina-teers prevents exploring how the Heart Tina-teer would be affected by the fact that their fellow Tina-teers now only care about money and are being willing to sell Planetina for profit and of course finding out that all of his/her fellow members are dead and Planetina becoming a mass murderer thanks to Morty.
** The entire story about Planetina. It could have explored the toll it would take to have fought for the environment since the nineties with no step forward and the situation actually getting worse, and society even turning the environmentalist message into an empty slogan just to make more money. Instead they just went the gritty way, turning the Tina-teers into greedy assholes and Planetina into an extremist, focusing entirely on Morty's relationship and avoiding any actual discussion about the environment alltogether.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Similar to Morty's one-shot girlfriend from Season 4, Planetina instantly became a fan-favourite, with the added bonus of being her own character rather than a SatelliteLoveInterest.

*** As explained by FridgeBrilliance, there was also no Heart to balance her out, just the four elements that make her up. A CommonKnowledge with Captain Planet was that him being summoned without Heart would make him a {{jerkass}}.
