Rick And Morty A Way Back Home Beth

Okay, let's talk Rick and Morty. Specifically, Beth. And specifically, my (maybe) unpopular opinion: she needs to go home. Like, really go home.

The Beth Situation: A Messy Portal

We all know the deal. Rick, being Rick, cloned Beth. He gave her a choice: stay with the family or jet off on intergalactic adventures. Classic Rick move, right?

So, one Beth stayed. The other... well, who knows? Space Beth is out there, probably blowing up planets and having existential crises. Good for her, I guess.

But this split created a problem. A Beth-sized problem. Actually, two Beth-sized problems.

The Family Beth: Stuck in a Rut?

Let's focus on the Beth we see most. The horse surgeon Beth. The one trying desperately to prove she's not a complete screw-up.

She craves Rick's approval. She drinks too much wine. She's basically a highly functional mess. Sounds familiar, right?

And that's the thing! She's relatable. We've all been there, wanting to impress someone, feeling stuck in a job, reaching for the bottle of wine at 5 pm. But is this really the best path for her?

Space Beth: The Solution?

Here's where my (possibly) controversial opinion comes in. Space Beth is the answer! Or, at least, part of the answer.

Hear me out. Family Beth is constantly struggling to be... well, not Rick. She's trying to be a good mom, a good wife (sort of), a good daughter. But it feels forced, doesn't it?

Space Beth, on the other hand, is free. She's embracing the chaos. She's not tied down by societal expectations or family obligations. Isn't that what Beth, deep down, actually wants?

A Proposal: Beth's Journey Back to Herself

So, what if Family Beth embarked on a journey? Not a space adventure with Rick, but one away from him.

What if she went to find herself? Maybe even meet up with Space Beth! (Imagine the therapy bills!)

It wouldn't be easy. It would be messy. But it would be real. And it would be a chance for Beth to finally figure out who she is, independent of Rick's influence.

Think about it. Rick's always saying he doesn't want to hold anyone back. Well, here's his chance to prove it. Let Beth go!

Let her explore. Let her make mistakes. Let her find her own version of happiness, even if it's a little bit weird and dysfunctional.

Because, let's be honest, everyone in the Rick and Morty universe is a little bit weird and dysfunctional. But that's what makes them so darn relatable. Especially Beth.

So, maybe it's time for a Beth-centric arc. An arc where she confronts her demons, embraces her inner Space Beth, and finally finds a way back home... to herself.

It might even be good for Rick. He might learn a thing or two about letting go. Or he'll just replace her with a robot. Who knows? It's Rick and Morty, after all.

But one thing's for sure: Beth deserves a chance to break free. To boldly go where no horse surgeon has gone before. And maybe, just maybe, find her place in the galaxy. Or at least, a decent bottle of wine.
