Spoilers for Rick and Morty S08E10
(in fact, spoilers even if you have watched it)
except for @arolock who figured out this terrifying truth more than a year ago
HERE WE HAVE LIVE FOOTAGE OF A FRESHLY SNATCHED RICK BEING MIND CONTROLLED* BY RICK PRIME INTO ABANDONING HIS FAMILY
*...puppeteered?
Cause we sure as hell know this Beth was not Beth Prime.
THEY FUCKING DID AND I FUCKING CALLED IT
For anyone who doesn't know what we're screaming about, last year, after S7 ending, I tried to figure out the whole Prime and C-137 history and came to formulate a funny theory that maybe Prime was collecting other Ricks into a hivemind, offering them not only a portal gun, but also a possibility to become 'the smartest man in the universe', by, obviously, joining forces. Which in reality was a trap created by Prime to subdue other, lesser Ricks, gain more knowledge and, as an end goal, eventually become Infinite Rick, probably by subduing every Rick in the multiverce.
These converted Ricks later became his cover-up, hence the multiplicity of Prime across the multiverce. All these 'clones' and 'decoys' Rick later grabs and brings to test, are actually Prime's hivemind bodies.
All theory is here:
