Morty is so dumb that...

1. He regularly disarms Rick's neutrino bombs. The first time he did it it was completely on the fly, no prior experience. Yet, he did it.

2. He has a knack for learning alien languages... as for the tree people in the battery dimension, it was obviously done without any sort of translator or support. (And he took over as their leader)

3. He's quick on his feet and can think his way out in a stressful situation, figuring out things that Rick can't and coming up with innovative solutions.

4. He figured out how to use a portal gun.

5. He can figure out how machines he's never seen nor used before work, and employ them successfully.

6. Beat Rick (smartest man in the universe?) in a board game.

7. Can manipulate said "smartest man in the universe", if he so chooses.

8. Became a successful stock broker. Out of the blue. Just did it.

9. Run. Whole. Freaking. Civilizations (and also toppled them as Marta)

10. Pitches good ideas that Rick typically ignores

11. When suddenly becomes motivated to try, he is good at math

12. His ideas were good enough that he would have gotten a deal for a movie production...!

13. His default intelligence is maxed out.

...At this point, it's only a matter of time before he starts making his own inventions, Eyepatch-Morty-style.

GUYS.

The only reason we've been thinking that Morty is stupid is that Rick has been calling him stupid repeatedly.

Sure, Morty does plenty of dumb stuff, but so does Rick. Rick has the emotional intelligence of a four year old and throws tantrums of cosmic proportions whenever slighted (vat of acid? submit to the selfie?), while often going ahead with complicated, innovative ideas... that in reality solve nothing and are a waste of time (Pickle Rick?? Leg Rick?? Cloning his own daughter? The dumb time-loop in his own dimension? Replacing himself with a robot? Creating a robot ghost to scary Mr Poopybutthole instead of just telling him to leave??) Not to mention his many incredibly lame jokes.

Everyone does dumb stuff occasionally!!! No one is an impeccable genius of non-stop moments of brightness!! (even Eyepatch Morty, the most cautious character, the character who has made basically NO MISTAKES up to now, sounds dumb a couple of times: "I'm gonna do the thing I wanna do, with the curve thing" and "My biggest fear is other people being afraid. Of fear. Itself." lol).

If Rick hadn't been calling Morty a freaking idiot with every breath available, we wouldn't be thinking "oh look haha the moron became a stock broker, what a joke, must be some sort of fluke"; we would be thinking "what an incredibly gifted kid".

We would attribute Morty's many mistakes to lack of experience, to lack of wisdom, to youth, to enthusiasm, to idealism, to teenager hormones, to acting hastily.

We would wish to see him eventually mature, apply his time and effort to worthwhile endeavors instead (mainly) of inane teenage stuff. We would wish to see him do well in school, we would wish to see him reach his full potential and succeed in great things.

Only Rick keeps pounding our heads with how stupid Morty is, and all of Morty's successes are never mentioned again, but getting lost to oblivion in comparison to Rick's (who has 60+ years more experience) genius.

WE VIEWERS ARE BEING UNWITTINGLY MANIPULATED THE EXACT SAME WAY MORTY IS.

rick sanchez is touchy, he’s possessive- even if he says he isn’t and rolls his eyes at your blunt observation.

he will gesture for you to come closer if you’re on the opposite side of the room, hold your waist while in public, graze your knee with his when eating dinner with his family. he clicks his teeth with his tongue in feign annoyance when someone teases him about his affectionate touch towards you.

you like it though. little miss. along-for-the-ride. your whole life you’ve had to grit your teeth and white knuckle grip the steering wheel, desperate for any semblance of control. but with rick, its… easier. he does little things for you.

he fixes the AC in your apartment, hacked into your direct deposit and flooded it with money in off-shore accounts only you can access. he listens to the things you like and instead of buying them for you- he hand makes them to be your perfect fit.

he asks nothing in return, he never has.

only that you stay close. close enough to touch, close enough to hold and protect.

he’s lost precious cargo like you once before- and once he did, he’s never been able to get it back. he is determined for that not to happen again.

after years of suppressing intrusive feelings and pushing you away emotionally, he’s come to terms with the fact that he does want you in his life. and it scares him, really it does.

he wakes with nightmares that toy with the idea of losing you, they tease and taunt him.

he’s afraid of himself, what he might do to you in times of weakness. but for now he calms those frightening waters of insecurity by pulling you closer by the hem of your shirt.

by rubbing the small of your back under the cloth covering it. kissing your shoulders and the soft of your neck when you’re asleep.

besides wanting you, and needing you, and loving you. he likes you.

he enjoys your company and appreciates what you say, curious what type of obnoxiously endearing sentence is going to spew out of your mouth. you’re honest to a fault, an open book. what’s in front of him is what you are. you’re not simple, just tired of hiding parts of you that have been aching to be expressed aloud.

you’ve lost people too, and there were things you were waiting to tell them, confess to them, share the burdens you’ve been carrying to them.

so now you just say what comes to your mind. no waiting.

rick appreciates that. he’s spent years figuring out how to weasel truths out of deceitful people, and here you are! open and honest and so pretty to look at.

he wishes he met you sooner, he realizes while running his fingers down your thighs as you snore peacefully. you could’ve done so much good for him, undone so much damage, he would’ve healed somewhat properly. instead of this lump some of mangled parts and pieces that have been emotionally wounded by past trauma.

he doesn’t want you to fix him, never that. but he does know you could’ve helped the bruises heal neat and quickly.

he kisses your temple, moving the hair matted to your face to get a better look at you.

you’re here now. and he doesn’t plan on letting you go anytime soon.

so he’ll touch and grope and suck and bite as much as he possibly can before his time with you runs out. you make his humanity bearable to him, something easy to swallow- like a vitamin.

he’s eternally grateful for that.

If I had a nickel for every time Rick programmed a robot who was thoughtful and could love morty in the "healthy way " , only for morty to find out it's actually a robot and get pissed but still feel a connection to said robot, so he tries everything to save that robot from dying, because it was the only kind and loving adult role model he has ever had , only for the robot to still die and the episode to end with rick traumatizing morty, I would have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened TWICE
