Rick and Morty Season 6 Episode 2: Rick: A Mort Well Lived Thoughts

-

 


You know, I have been thinking how this episode was gonna pan out after how raw the premiere was and short answer, it was kinda like how I expected it to be. Not bad but certainly doesn't hold a candle to the premiere in terms of quality.

Let's get the obvious out of the way first, the Die Hard parody B plot was kinda mid but I feel like they made it annoying on purpose the longer the gag went on. Doesn't excuse it but I didn't hate it's sheer existence at the very least.


Now, here's the part the title of the episode refers to. The idea and execution of this part of the episode was really strong. Marta was a surprisingly interesting and deep side of Morty that I'm glad was tackled, it makes the end of the episode even more messed up tho.


The end of the episode reveals that Marta chose to remain in the game while the rest of the pieces of Morty returned to his body. Which ultimately makes it so that the side of Morty that criticizes Rick is no longer a part of him. That... is an interesting plot point. I hope this does not mean they take away his character development from S1-S5 like this but at the same I'm intrigued by how they will use this plotpoint. The promo of the next episode shows that he still criticizes Rick to some degree so I wonder if this is even an important plotpoint.


Overall, not a bad episode and of course it was not gonna live up to the premiere but it was decently fun. (5/10)

The little girl wanted to be a royal guard, protecting others in her home village from evil do-ers. She trained for long amounts of time to achieve her goal. Along the way, she met the love of her life. Together, she thought nothing could stop them!” “That was... until Hood, the leader of the hoodsters, alongside her small group of followers arrived on their town. They offered the town a chance to join their side. But the mayor and the royal guards declined the offer, calling them psychopaths on the loose. And Hood... she didn’t take too kindly to their response. She ordered her group to invade the town that night, killing everyone who declined their offer once again. The little girl and her lover hid in a safe place after hearing the news, but they were found shortly after. The girl bowed and begged for mercy. Hood walked towards and asked

WRITER - VIDD03K (SAM/NINIAN) COVER ARTIST - HEXXED_OUT3 EDITOR - ADDY It was a cloudy day at Town Unda, now Headquarters for the Crystal Kingdom. Some of the Crystal Knights were waiting for any orders from their Queen, except for one of them. She was constantly thinking about how some of the MPC members managed to escape, and she found their recruit rather interesting. He was all alone, sitting in the cafeteria all by himself, so she decided to strike up a conversation. Hey kid, you're the new one, right? Yeah. I see. She sits right next to him, much to the recruit's surprise. You look awfully lonely, maybe you could use some company. I guess, yeah. Reserved much, aren't you? I guess. ...Wow, you're kinda boring dude. Oh, yeah? Then what about you? Maybe you have some super interesting life story! Hmm… maybe I do, but maybe you don't care to listen. Well what if I did care? I guess I have no choice but to tell you about it! You know Town Unda, right? Hm… I thin

WRITER - TURTLEDOODLE1 COVER ARTIST - VIDD03K EDITOR - ADDY “Every story has its beginning. Some are happy, some are sad and some… some are quite interesting.”   It was a strange day on Planet Perdiah. After their defeat at the hands of Team Bushra and Array, the Rascals were all in a bad mood. Some took it far better than others though. They had to get back to the mainland to plan their next move. After a few hours of travelling, they came across The Mountain That Never Ends. Markus found the name unnecessarily long but rolled with it. There was no other path to use besides this mountain. Despite all the rumors surrounding the mountain, Markus told Murray to continue driving.   When will we arrive at the mainland, Murray? According to my calculations… in about 2 hours. Good. * grunts * The sooner we get out of this place, the better. So… what’s our plan now, sir? Are we going to find another temple or- No. We are not. Aww why not, bossy wossy? Ya’ still upset over the fight? I don’t t
