Morties Feeling Worthless Is Dangerous
We remember that amazing episode of season 1. We got a bit of depth with the show and learned of Rick.
But with season three, I noticed something. Rick is getting rougher with Morty- right? Right?
What if Cocky Morties are less dangerous than insecure Morties?
Let's talk of Evil Morty (Eye patch Morty)
"Morty' are no match for their Rick."
Even Evil Morty finds himself valueless, he finds himself so worthless that he tortures his other selves.
His hatred of Rick is so deep he allows himself to hurt Morties, ruin multiple versions of his families' lives and so much more.
Unless this Morty was a sociopath, he doesn’t feel he is worth it. A lot of Morties don't.
This comic by the tumblr user --- really shows what I want to describe.
(Comic by tumblr user @ahkaraii)
This shows how being feeling so small and useless jades a person. Morty, children in general, emotional abuse can turn people into something completely different.
Let's look at the comics (they're canon) it shows a Morty being a Rick and a Rick being a Morty.
(Rick and Morty issue 3) It shows a Rick dealing with the abuse Morty usually deals with, and snaps. Our Morty is slowly breaking, in the newest episode, where they detoxify themselves, Morty is shown sociopathic.
I don't think in the first season he was this way, but he has seen awful things, and dealt with a worse grandfather. He is desensitized.
In the vindicators episode, Morty was shown to be extremely smart. He knew all of Rick's tricks. He knew how to defuse the bomb and had a present of if it works.
In the interdimensional cable episode, Morty explained it pretty well. I am sure he is more than 20% right, Rick is a genius, Beth is smart too. (Though blinded by emotional trauma), and summer, though emotional, is clever.
Why would it skip Morty? It didn't, his doubt, dread, and overall teenage angst holds him back. At the beginning, maybe, but if pushed hard enough he will learn how to survive on his own.
Let's look at Miami Morty, he lazes around the beach all day and dances. He's happy, dumb and happy.
Morty in season 1 was dumb and happy, feeling loved by his family and unknown of his parents' marriage issues.
But now he's aware, aware of so many things. He's angry, depressed and feels good for nothing. His emotions are high, showing his toxic self he has so much more dread and hatred for himself, for his parents and even his sister.
He is starting to be resentful towards Beth and Jerry. He's isolated, barely at school and going to terrifying adventures. He has no escape, no socializing of children his age and spending so much time to himself.
Too much time alone with your mind as a child is toxic. My niece when she was with her parents more, used to lock her in her room for hours when she was in trouble. She grew violent, upset easily and jaded. When she was able to socialize, play, and see other children in her age group she became her normal, sweet self again.
Our Morty is not Evil Morty, the creators told us time travel is off the table.
However, Morty is down the same road as Eye patch Morty. Do I believe Rick is Eye Patch's Rick? Maybe.
But people's theories and learning the actual twist to the show made season 3 take so long and I think ruined the storyline.
But that's just the theory.
Oh, and remember how Morty shot Rick in episode 1 of Season 3 because Rick was attacking him verbally?
Here’s more examples because fuck Morty got dark.
