I'm here wondering about how Rick Prime feels about Diane considering he said "I killed your beloved Diane" not "I killed Diane"
I wonder if that's significant
Yeah, tbh I feel like we got a lot of good smaller details about who Prime is as a character.
It's not like he actually cared less about his Diane. He's obsessed with her! He builds robots that do nothing but degrade versions of himself for what a bad lover he was. He constructs massive Diane guardians that defend himself and the Omega Device. He borderline worships her more than C-137 does, and he's 'wife guy' Rick.
It's not even like he cares less about C-137 than vice versa. When Evil Morty drags C-137's body in, he looks... worried?
Prime's not this cold, callous monster to Morty when he thinks he's meeting him. He's sort of apologetic and awkward.
He's not even particularly mean to Morty or Evil Morty. In fact, he's way more appropriate than C-137 is in the language he uses when he addresses them. He seems to be more conscious of how to treat children and follows a set of moral principles around that.
He's sad when he kills Slow, admitting it hurt him, too.
He directly references missing C-137 and immediately recognizes a distorted AI version of his wife's voice.
In hindsight, he even looks hurt in the Crybaby Backstory.
I mean, shit... Prime's whole villainous monologue is him begging for Rick to admit that he meant something to him. Makes you think...
It's so obvious Prime is not this unfeeling sociopath we expected him to be. He's a monster, sure, but he's still a person. Why? and How? he's done what he's done are where I think it could get interesting.
