Remember that feeling after finishing the *Rick and Morty* Season 5 finale? The one where you felt like your brain had just done a marathon while simultaneously laughing and maybe shedding a single, confused tear? Yeah, me too.
The tenth episode, "Rickmurai Jack," certainly didn't disappoint. It was a wild ride through alternate realities, memories, and enough meta-commentary to make your head spin.
The Sheer Insanity of It All
Let's be real, *Rick and Morty* thrives on chaos. This episode, however, cranked the chaos knob all the way up to eleven. We're talking about Rick becoming a samurai, fighting ninja crows, and traversing through memories like they're amusement park rides.
And who could forget the reveal about Evil Morty? He was plotting something big, something that felt like the culmination of seasons worth of foreshadowing.
Reddit Reacts (And Explodes)
Naturally, the internet, specifically *Reddit*, went absolutely bonkers. Theories flew faster than Rick's spaceship, each more convoluted and mind-bending than the last.
Everyone was trying to piece together the puzzle of Evil Morty's grand plan. Was he trying to escape the Central Finite Curve? Was he after revenge? The speculation was intense!
One of the popular theories revolves around the idea that Evil Morty saw the repetitive nature of all Ricks and Mortys' relationships. So he wanted to break free from that cycle.
More Than Just Jokes and Sci-Fi
Beneath the layers of hilarious gags and science fiction absurdity, there was something surprisingly poignant in "Rickmurai Jack." The episode delved into the complicated dynamic between *Rick* and *Morty* with a raw honesty.
Rick's constant self-destruction and Morty's growing resentment were palpable. It felt like their relationship was teetering on the edge of collapse. That's heavy, Morty!
A Heartwarming(?) Bromance
Even amidst the chaos, there were moments that tugged at the heartstrings. Seeing glimpses of their past adventures, both the good and the bad, highlighted the bond they share.
It's a messed-up, dysfunctional bond, sure. But it's a bond nonetheless. A kind of connection that only two interdimensional travelers who have faced down countless horrors can truly understand.
Rick and Morty's relationship has always been the show's driving force. Even when they're at odds, you can see the care underneath, even if its expressed in a twisted way.
Evil Morty's Masterplan
Ultimately, the episode revealed Evil Morty's plan: to escape the Central Finite Curve, a walled-off multiverse where Rick is always the smartest man in the universe.
He essentially blows a hole into reality, allowing him to break free and enter a new, unknown universe, free from Rick's influence. Now that's a plot twist.
This opens up so many possibilities for future seasons! Where did Evil Morty go? What awaits him in this new reality? We'll just have to wait and see!
A Finale That Left Us Wanting More
"Rickmurai Jack" was a fitting end to a season that had its ups and downs. It was funny, thought-provoking, and left us with a whole lot to ponder.
The episode served as a reminder of why we love *Rick and Morty*: it's not just about the jokes. It's about the characters, the relationships, and the willingness to explore the darkest corners of the human (and alien) psyche.
So, while we eagerly await the next season, let's raise a glass (of Fleeb juice, perhaps?) to Rick, Morty, and the endless possibilities of the multiverse! Wubba Lubba Dub-Dub!
