History WMG / RickAndMorty

Evil Morty's plan was to escape the central finite curve and build his own paradise to live out his days in peace and independence, outside of any universe. He gets bored there every once in a while. So he often pays a visit to the universe of Fortnite to crank some 90's.

Enter Jerry whom, despite all of Rick's insults and downtalk, might have been the only person who could have produced a Morty, depending on how much the show really leans on ForWantOfANail vs. InSpiteOfANail. Jerry might have some incredible, untapped potential besides what is implied his stupidity that Morty inherited. If this is the case, Rick might be constantly belittling Jerry and trying to get him away from Beth in order to keep him from becoming a genuine threat.

[[WMG: Rick will go outside the Central Finite Curve to look for Diane]]
The Omega Device can kill someone throughout all universes, but it's never specified it's only within the Central Finite Curve or not. Rick, not entirely sure himself, decides to take a leap of faith and do what Evil Morty and create another tear in the curve. This can not only lead to a whole season of Rick trying to find Diane in uncharted territories but also explore these new universes outside the Curve and how they operate without him being the smartest in their world.

How else do you think they got the idea for the design of Shleemypants being modeled after [[Film/TheLangoliers The Langoliers]] from the otherwise obscure film of the same name without it receiving a {{Colbert Bump}} from The Nostalgia Critic's review of it, let alone in a way that many people would get such a reference? Also, Frank Palicky being frozen by an Expy of [[Film/BackToTheFuture Doc Brown]] played by [[Creator/ChristopherLloyd the same guy]] who would later be featured in [[Film/SuburbanCommando Suburban Commando]] could be a shout out to the film's meme (I WAS FROZEN TODAY!!!) first popularised by The Critic.

Monsoon is already playing TheOtherDarrin to Lemongrab, one of Roiland's other iconic roles, in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTimeFionaAndCake'', a show owned by the same parent company as ''Rick and Morty''. And if the studio knows they call pull off one of his roles...

Rick is supposed to be sixty years old, so its reasonable he could still be alive. Instead of being an abusive asshole or important person, Rick's dad is a blue collar worker who hasn't done anything that special in his life. Kind of like Jerry actually, [[OedipusComplex which is why Rick resents him]]. Part of why Rick is the way he is comes from being resentful of his father's mundane, under-achieving personality and wants to stand out. Maybe Rick's grandfather was something a lot more interesting, a scientist like himself, and that adds to his disappointment, or his family has never been that interesting and the young Rick idolized more adventurous figures.

[[WMG:Rick Prime[=/=]Weird Rick's true goal is to find a universe where he can ascend as a god.]]
In his few appearances, he outright tells Main Rick that portal technology would make him a god. One of the possible future plotlines will likely involve the main versions of Rick and Morty trying to find a way to stop Rick Prime's plans for godhood and defeating him for good.

It's not specified when the memory where she picked Summer over Morty happened, but it's possible it happened before Morty and Rick jumped universes in Season 1. After they left, the original Beth mentioned that she was finally happy now that Rick and Morty were gone, which would be shocking... unless she's already expressed her willingness to live without her son. Maybe that memory was even why she was finally happy, even without her idolized father - because without him and Morty, she no longer had to live with the constant reminder that she was ready to sacrifice her only son without a thought. That would make Rick choosing to leave Beth to the Cronenberg world, the way she chose Morty to die, a minor KickTheSonOfABitch moment (even if it also punished the blameless Summer and Jerry and left everyone else in the world to suffer as monsters). If Rick had found out how quick Beth was to sacrifice Morty and it upset him, that might have even made the difference in making him willing to leave that Beth and find a new one - one who was a better person, the way he (in his better moments) would want his daughter to be.

Most of his cruelty in "The Ricklantis Mix-Up directed [[KickTheSonOfABith to cruel Ricks]], and he appears to be encouraging Mortys to stand up for himself. His worst act of cruelty to a non-Rick was [[ColdBloodedTorture the Morty-dome]], and even then it was specifically part of ThePlan than just wanton cruelty. Evil Morty's goal is to eliminate all the Ricks in the multiverse [[SociopathicHero for being reckless and dangerous]]; the first step is to encourage Mortys to be independent from their Ricks. As such he feels justified doing whatever he can to end Rick. If he isn't C-137 Rick's original Morty, he might hate him most of all because as the Rickest Rick he represents the purest form of the person he so despises.

But with a twist! The family wants to go see the sequel to [[ShowWithinaShow Two Brothers]] that is called [[OddlyNamedSequel Two Brothers: Dr. Candypants Goes to the Avocado Circus for Sexy Time in 3D]], but the film is only showing in the dimension they got the broadcast from. Rick makes a portal to go there, but the family ends up in the reality where the films are real and struggles to survive a brand New Mexican Armada's attack. It will ''then'' be revealed that Rick, who has supposedly spent the episode trying to get the family back home, did it on purpose just so he could have Jerry scream [[ARareSentence "I hate Mexican tomato laser bombs!!!"]] and make it into a StupidStatementDanceMix on [=YouTube=] that ''also'' makes it appear that Jerry is expressing a racist hatred towards regular Mexicans. The rest of the family will be mad at Rick for putting them in peril just for that purpose.
