Considering how long it takes for Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon to come up with more episodes of Rick and Morty and produce them, fans are excited for the return of the show next month to conclude Season 4 and probably get into the Evil Morty story arc once more.
After three long years, Rick and Morty came back this year with another 10-episode season, divided into two parts. The first of those, consisting of independent adventures, featured the two main characters in a number of unique and creative scenarios. Alas, there was no sign of Evil Morty and his plan to kill C-137. But since we’re getting into the second half, things might start to go ugly for Rick and his grandson.
Now, according to a new fan theory posted on Reddit, Rick Sanchez is actually a made-up name. Morty will eventually grow into Rick and his grandfather will cease to exist at some point. In fact, Rick is trapped in a time-loop, which could explain why he feels constantly in pain. As the Redditor suggests, Rick understands that at some point, he has to “guide his Morty to become a Rick.” This is why he lives life to the fullest and doesn’t care about much else.
Rick knows how the story will end, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t enjoy it. As for Evil Morty, he’s one of the Morties who realizes this and decides to put an end to this insanity by killing every Rick. Perhaps after accomplishing his goal, Morties will no longer have to turn into Ricks, thus breaking the time-loop.
Of course, this is a wild and controversial theory, to say the least. It also comes with a whole lot of different complications, including Beth’s history as Rick’s daughter and the fact that if Morty truly is Rick, then he’s also father to his own mother. (Confused yet?)
Additionally, the Citadel of Ricks consists of millions of Morties and Ricks that interact with each other on a daily basis, each with their own histories and backgrounds. Suffice to say, the theory collapses on itself when you think too much about it.
Then again, we’ve come to expect literally everything from the minds behind Rick and Morty, so I guess we’ll have to wait and find for ourselves when the next episode premieres on May 3rd.
