A social Crime ? I get it but I love Rick and Morty and I miss Roiland doing stuff. I’m so tired of the hiperconsequencialism …
Comment on What character is the king of plot armor?

Rick Sanchez.
He’s supposed to be the smartest person in the universe. The rub is that the writers aren’t as smart as they want him to be, so that leads to them writing his enemies to be dumber than him to preserve his superior intelligence.

hes basically a god in his part of the multiverse, up until he met the “god-dinosaurs”

Isn’t that part of the plot though? He’s super depressed and part of it is because everyone else is so goddamn stupid

Yes, but my point is that his hyper-intelligence is to a point something we just have to believe in since he is being written by people who aren’t hyper-intelligent themselves.

Its also a plot point in (after the recast) that he did this to himself. Evil Morty’s goal was to escape the cluster of multi-verses that Rick curated where he was the smartest person in that universe. I like the newer plot driven episodes, but writing this im noticing that while I like the show as its airing, I have never really rewatched it…

The intelligence to curate universes to ensure you’re the smartest person in them is like some sort of self sustaining Gary Stu feedback loop.
