Rick and Morty episode: The Rickshank Redemption

Loud House Episode: The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos


  • Absurdly Spacious Sewer: The sewers that Pop-Pop, Ronnie Anne, and other Royal Woods citizens use to hide from the Federation are large enough to house ramshackle shacks for them to live in.
  • Adaptational Context Change / Adaptation Deviation
    • The events of "Relative Chaos" and The Casagrandes are all rendered null and void because in this adaptation, Great Lake City was destroyed during the Galactic Federation's invasion of Earth. As a result, not only does Ronnie Anne end up staying in Royal Woods, but the extended Casagrande Family (and later the Chang Family) end up moving to Royal Woods.
    • Unlike the original Loud House episode, most of the focus is directed towards Rick, Lori and Leni while the Casagrandes and Lincoln only play secondary roles.
    • Rick's rant at the end of the chapter is promising the kids that things will be "light-hearted" without the Federation and "szechaun sauce" memes, whereas his rant at the end of "Rickshank Redemption" was him bragging about darker adventures demanding szechaun sauce.
  • Adaptational Badass: Albert Loud fights the Federation forces in the story, using a shotgun. Downplayed with Lynn, Sr. who is just as cowardly and pathetic as Jerry was in canon, albeit only for a bit.
  • Adaptational Early Appearance: Lynn Sr. gains his restaurant at the beginning of this fanfic's third season, whereas he gains it near the end of his canon show's third season.
  • Adaptation Expansion: The Federation president is given a fairly larger role than in canon. Still, he is a gullible, incompetent politician who falls to Rick's Indy Ploy anyway and is a Dirty Coward who'd rather take the easy way out than fix the issue.
  • Adaptational Intelligence: While Morty was clearly played on Rick's Batman Gambit while he lies about being aware of it, Lori reveals that she was indeed playing along with killing Rick after the Riq IV encounter.
  • Adaptational Late Appearance: The Casagrande Family made their first appearance in Season 2 of The Loud House. Here, they debut in the beginning of this story's third season.
  • Adaptational Name Change: In this story, the name of Rick's wife is Laura instead of Diane, possibly to keep up with the Loud Family's theme of names starting with the letter "L".
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: In the original "R&M" episode, Rick destroyed the Galactic Federation as part of a plan to show up Jerry and get Beth to divorce him. In this story, Rick destroyed the Federation in a genuine attempt to give his grandkids a relatively normal life.
  • Adaptational Protagonist: The Casagrandes are sidelined in this adaptation of "Loudest Mission", with the honor of protagonist going towards Rick, Lori, and Leni as they try to defeat the Galactic Federation. At best, the family only plays supporting roles. It won't be until next chapter that they get A Day in the Limelight.
  • Adapted Out / In Name Only: The whole plot of "The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos" has been mostly negated and altered in favor of a retelling of "The Rickshank Redemption". The only thing retained in The Loud House's side is the Casagrandes and the chapter's composite title. The Galactic Federation wrecking Great Lakes City squarely solidifies this deviation.
  • Break the Cutie: Obviously taking Summer's role as the hostage in the final confrontation, Leni becomes extremely frightened when Rick threatens to shoot Riq IV through Leni if he doesn't let her go. Of course, like in the original episode, it was a bluff that ultimately gets that Rick killed. Rick L-137 then apologizes to Leni for the ordeal.
  • Call-Back: When Lori reads the letter from her original family, they mention moving to the kingdom of Mewni, where Rick, Lincoln, and Lola visited during the chapter "Driving Miss Hazy with Mr. Meeseeks."
  • Children Forced to Kill: Lincoln kills a gromflomite at the climax to protect his dad. His family then take note of the spear he used to kill.
  • Deconstructed Trope: Lincoln's fourth wall breaking. This chapter states that Lincoln had been talking to an "imaginary" audience to keep his focus, but in the wake of the Federation's take over of Earth, he can't bring himself to do it.
  • Demoted to Extra: The Casagrandes, specifically Ronnie Anne, don't play a major role in this adaptation of "Loudest Mission". That honor goes to Rick, Lori, and Leni. It won't be until next chapter that Ronnie takes the protagonist role with Rick.
  • La RĂ©sistance: Pop Pop hopes that the underground commune will one day become this to the Galactic Federation. They get their chance after Rick destroys the Federation's economy, using the resulting confusion to take them down.
  • Take That!: In his rant, Rick denounces his szechaun sauce gag as well as the memes the base has made out of it.
