Rick and Morty Season 9 Episode 8 spoilers
WTF WTF WTF WAIT WHAT HOLD YOUR HORSES I NEED TO REWATCH THAT 3 TIMES
Ok so Rick made Morty cry before the opening theme played, nice going asshole. AND THEN MORTY BECAME THE ASSHOLE honestly he shot the monster, was so done with Summer, did the thing with the ship, but the most striking thing was that he delivered the COLDEST lines insulting Rick because.... yeah. But also that was so damn cold even Rick hesitated for a second before realizing what happened because Morty would never say that.
The fact that Morty basically just asked for a hug at the end broke me, and none of what Rick did, said, or gave him really helped with that for me because he was under the influence of the bug. He did kinda tell the kid to keep his emotional distance from him in the end so that's that.
Also, Rick got rid of the bug, but did Morty get his empathy back? Like, did Rick fix that? I couldn't tell... I think not because of him not enjoying the card tho. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows.
Also Jerry scaring a serial killer was peak (we all knew he was gonna get shot as soon as he came out, which totally deserved btw, since, well, serial killer.)
I'm a Morty fan, can you tell I'm a Morty fan? I love Morty. He's my kid. He does not deserve to be told he's bait by Rick, he even argues that Rick had told him he wasn't before, that broke my heart, the kid breaks my heart.
TLDR: Rick is an emotionally unavailable asshole, so instead of dealing with the consequences of his actions, he drugs his grandson.
See you all next week, take care of yourselves!
