I know, I know. I've watched the season, and it seems that Rick has taken quite a beating during the later episodes, specifically with the Ricklets and the new and improved Galactic Federation. And for the beatings, I don't think that it is in character for him to lose these too often. Occasionally, yes, but it is not in his character to be that way. However, he still won't be in full control, but not to the same extent as the canon.

So, here's how I think Season 4 will play out if Rick kept most of his mojo and character intact.

Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat

Of course, it mostly operates the same, save for Rick noticing the death crystal earlier on. He and Morty fight for the wheel, and Morty winds up killing him in pursuit of Jessica. Rick still does go through the multiple fascist realities and still ends up befriending Wasp Rick, and most of the episode stays the same.

The Old Man and the Seat

I have no thoughts and changes on this one. It would likely stay the same.

One Crew Over the Crewcoo's Morty

Of course, this is one of the episodes where Rick stays in character, so it would likely be staying the same.

Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim's Morty

The episode would most likely not happen. If Rick stayed in character, he would have probably put his gas mask on and make sure that Morty never got the dragon, even wiping it from his memory. I may be biased, but I really hate it due to its sexuality, so I'm making it like it never happened. The talking cat would likely be another thing, and a short clip with it would probably replace the episode about the dragon.

Rattlestar Ricklactica

Of course, it stays the same.

Never Ricking Morty

It would probably stay the same.

Promortyus

I seriously don't think that someone smart like Rick would be gullible enough to look at a Glorzo egg. He might've freed Morty and gotten him and Summer back to a repaired spaceship and left. Simple as that, or they can just have a massive amount of Glorzo dogpile him long enough for one of their own to control his body, only to get alcohol poisoning. I did love how they made a joke about the yahoos and creeps who ship the two.

The Vat of Acid Episode

Morty still rebels, and Rick still finds a clever way to put him down, and it would probably stay the same.

Childrick of Mort

Now, this episode would likely experience big changes, mostly in how it ended if anything. Seriously, out of all the people in the episode, Rick was the one who was the least in the wrong. Beth was the one who suggested that they put the unproductives down a pipe in the back, it was Jerry and Reggie who wound up starting the fight, and Morty and Summer were just plain high up their asses in that episode. As for Gaia, something has been going on really wrong in them. If they saw everything, then the Smiths would be the ones being banished rather than Rick. In my version, Rick would win against Reggie in the brawl, only for him to increase in size and basically cheat. Rick responds by turning Reggie into a giant magnet (like how Cameron did with Lightning in Total Drama), causing several asteroids and the ship to crash into him. Reggie, would, of course, still fall on the city and destroy it, but in this one, Gaia would not be angry enough to outright banish Rick, but rather the Smiths. However, Gaia's interactions with Rick end up with him and the planet having a talk, realizing that it just wouldn't work in the end. Instead of putting Morty and Summer into it, Rick instead tells Beth and Jerry that they would resume a dysfunctional marraige and go back to hating one another, regarding how their relationship should never have existed and how embarrassed he is over the cries of denial that he constantly hears as they drive through space.

Star Mort: Rickturn of the Jerri

Of course, due to the interaction at Childrick of Mort, the Smiths wind up becoming more and more cold to Rick due to what he said there, and like with the canonical version, Space Beth shows up. They still have a heart-to-heart with what they missed out, and they soon spot the Federation right at their doorstep. Rick immediately takes notice and goes to rescue Earth Beth before she could get captured, with Space Beth following en suite. Over time, it becomes clear that Rick doesn't know who is who, but makes sure that they do not notice. He still kills Tammy, and fights Phoenixperson. What is different about this is that he takes notice of the switch on Phoenixperson's back, and winds up turning him off. However, the Smith family still isn't really fond of Rick, and winds up giving Space Beth the credit. The ending scene is basically the same, only Rick does not flinch and instead grabs Space Beth's wrist for a second before shortly letting go. He still realizes that he was a terrible father to them, and that, through his own actions and their constant exposure to sci-fi calamity in a pretty bad way, he sits down, contemplating his next step.

I might just be overanalyzing things, but I don't think that the smartest man in the universe could be taken down so easily. He had the tools to win, but for some reason or another, he didn't. My thoughts might have something to do with the synaptic dampener that hindered him. What are your thoughts and how would Season be different with a still in character Rick?

And WHY do I keep posting these kinds of things!?

People say that Rick might have to stand by someone like Morty in order to mask his brainwaves, and he might be the second star of the show, but as I kept on watching and waiting, I've come to see that Morty Smith is not even close to the ideal sidekick. Granted, I love the show, and I am an active fan, and while some might blame it on Rick, Morty takes a good amount of that blame for himself. I have a few points to back that up.

No. 1) Morty's crush on Jessica is dangerous.

We all know of how hormones work, we get them all the time, and we happen to find someone to mate with. For Morty, it happens to be Jessica. Anyone can fall in love with her, but for Morty, time and time again, he cranks it to eleven. If you are an early watcher of the show, then you'd remember seeing Season 1 come to the masses.

For that, he openly pestered Rick into creating a love potion to entrap Jessica so she would fall in love with him for life. Of course, he gets her when they were on the annual flu season dance, and everything goes there. Sure, Rick might have made the serums, but it was Morty who pulled the lever and turned everyone into Cronenbergs.

And if that was not enough, if you are a recent fan like me, then you would probably have seen Season 4. Get this, he openly killed Rick in a future where he would die with Jessica. The danger of his crush on her was once again seen when he openly killed civilians and even weaseled his way out of justice just to ensure his dreams come true. He even would destroy the world if it meant that he would die with her. It just shows the lengths he would go.

No. 2) Morty has acted out in disturbing ways.

Over the course of the series, it has been shown that Morty isn't exactly the type to stop and think about his actions. As with the last point, Morty killed an entire group of people just so he could die with Jessica, and it ultimately shows that he would do anything to get to her.

On top of that, he has also displayed some heavy amounts of violence, like in the purge episode. It wasn't really Rick who did all the killing, save for the rich people responsible, but Morty just straight-up murdered a bunch of innocent people just for the heck of it. Starting with the lighthouse keeper, he started going on a rampage which subsequently forced Rick to knock him out.

On top of that, while dealing with his parents' divorce, Morty once again killed a bunch of people, unleashing his full, unbridled rage. While his sister married a warlord for a brief time, he used the spirit within the arm to his gain. But it really doesn't have to be violent, per se. He even mutated Ethan, turning him into a grotesque mess instead of talking it out. That guy needs some medicine.

No. 3) Morty is disloyal and self-centered.

Here's one of the biggest problems: Morty's constant display of disloyalty towards the mad scientist, as well as his self-centered nature. Sure, they could be three separate points, but I am not sure how to put them in, and they seem like they go well together.

Anyway, Morty is Jerry's son, in blood and in brain. Sure, he has a bit of intelligence in him, but his primary focus is his own wants. Whenever there is a multiverse that shows awe and beauty and terror, he outright dismisses it for whatever he wants, which sometimes causes him to clash with Rick.

I mean, even when the Galactic Federation took charge, he still showed these behaviors. His father was a self-congratulating oaf that was working under a false job, his mother was an unemployed, drunken mess, and his own sister was a desperate shell of her former self. Morty? Well, he was at peace this whole time, even ASKING the robot to shove pills down his throat.

Whenever choosing between his wants or his needs, he tends to go with the former all the time. He ultimately proves this is true during the early parts of the Season 3 premiere. While Summer goes toward freeing Rick from the prison he was held in, Morty did all in his power to make Summer think like him. First off, he uses ghoulish overkill, trying to deter her from getting to him, and he goes for the hurt. Heck, he even renounced Rick in front of the council under the lie that he was not.

I forgot to mention the Tiny Rick episode. I really haven't seen it, but every time Rick cries from within Tiny Rick, Morty ignores it due to the rise in popularity he has in school. Hell, even when Birdperson said that Rick's popular catchphrase was indeed a cry for help in his peoples' language, he just ignored it.

No. 4) Other possible candidates shine.

It's not really a point, but over the course of the show, it has been proven that there are other people whom Rick can look up to. The Rick and Morty relation, in my eyes at least, doesn't seem to work properly. With Morty's disloyalty, self-centered desires, brief fits of rage, and zealous crush to Jessica, it has been proven that he isn't the one that Rick needs.

Sure, you can say that they had their fun times, but truthfully, they are few and far in between. Morty has been through tough shit, that's for sure, but whether it is that's causing him to behave the way he is, the series as a whole and Rick himself need a sidekick that would show the mad scientist some love and companionship.

One candidate would likely be Morty's sister, Summer. She is a different cry from her sniveling little full or half-brother, but with some of the Rick and Morty writers being women now, Summer has gotten some time to shine. She fits many of the requirements, being loyal, trustworthy, and somewhat reliable to the cause. She knows when things are troublesome, and she is smart and selfless enough to know when to act. Her only real problems are that of a normal teenage girl's, and being, well, a teen, she would probably grow out of it some time in the future.

But hey, even if she doesn't really get into it, it doesn't necessarily have to be family that could be sidekicks. In Spy Kids 3: Game Over, Gerti said and I quote "Remember, everyone's your family."

In a sense, she is right. It doesn't have to be genetic, there is a whole sea of people that are suitable for working under Rick's wing. And hey, if you are as smart as him, then why don't you make a device that would cancel out your genius waves without standing by a Morty?

Look, I'm not trying to pick on ya, and it is okay to have an opinion. And besides that, Rick and Morty takes place in an infinite multiverse, so everything is and anything can be true and false at the same time. Crazy, huh? I can't really blame you on that front.

Anyway, those are just my thoughts, I wanna hear yours, and be sure to surprise me or whatever. Until then, I might as well do my thing, whatever it may or may not be.

I've been looking through the wiki, and judging by what I saw, you guys have not even bothered to update much! It took a couple of days for you people to even update a page, and a week or so for a transcript, and I'm not talking about actual transcripts, I'm talking about one giant paragraph. Some sentences definitely had randomly capitalized words.

Back in pages of earlier episodes, we had the whole thing: a complex script, quite the good gallery, and a bunch of nitpicks. NOW that the final episode of the fourth season has aired, we're at a practical GHOST TOWN!!! And for what!? A couple of episodes! Just because there is this ongoing meme about Rick & Morty episodes having longer gaps does NOT mean you get to slack off!

I'm not trying to be mean, but there is a lot of work to do on this wiki, and I am not willing to clean up the mess on my own. So please help a brother out and get this wiki ship-shape, will ya?
