(The following is just my personal opinion of Morty.)
First of all, this is just an analysis of the protagonist Morty, not Morty in all dimensions.
Morty's child has several characteristics:
1. The IQ is not high (recognized by the family), but the emotional intelligence is considered high in his family (to protect Jerry's self-confidence and do manual work with him, to protect summer from hanging out with strange people, and rick to speak ill of the staff of the alien spa) stop him, etc.)
2. Kindness, compassion and cowardice are generally possessed by the public, and the moral concept is relatively strong
3. Loves family very much, and family is more important than rick (s3e1 can easily see that morty chose not to rescue rick in order to protect summer, and condemned rick for abandoning Beth)
4. Being cornered will bottom out (massacre, s3e1)
5. The 14-year-old pi child has far less tolerance and judgment than rick
If the character Morty is taken out of the R&M show, he will be an adolescent kid who loves his family, is kind and cowardly, has a crush on the goddess, doesn't study very well, and fantasizes that he can take risks easily.
But he happened to meet rick.
Rick takes him as a human shield, Rick treats him as a little helper, Rick takes him for experiments, Rick pulls him to various strange dimension adventures, Rick puts him in various worlds and situations that he cannot understand, sometimes morty Was amazed, and sometimes pushed him into a corner.
Hence the Holocaust episode.
Some people say that this episode shows Morty's dark side, I don't think it's a problem, Morty really got red eyes in the carnage. However, this is not a typical case of showing morty character.
Everyone has a dark side, but it won't show it under the big environment, and Morty is in such a cannibalistic environment, he is easily affected by the environment and does some irrational things, the environment The impact on people is huge, like the movie "Battle Royale". Not to mention that he is just a 14-year-old child whose mind has not yet fully developed, and his endurance cannot be compared with that of a god-level character like Rick.
So there's s3e1, where Morty shoots and kills Rick.
Rather than killing Rick for his damaged self-esteem in this episode, Morty chose to save Summer instead of Rick in a high-pressure environment. Let's take a look at the development of the plot. First, Rick threatened to not care about Summer and asked Congressman Rick to kill Summer, and then Morty aimed his gun at Rick in order to protect his sister. That is to say, Morty aimed his gun at Rick for his sister's sake. It was after everyone scolded idiot and shot.
In fact, Morty is a little pitiful here. In order to save his sister, he chose to point the gun at Rick, and in exchange, he got countless idiots... It can only be said that Rick is very predictable, taking Morty's psychological activities into consideration.
But this also reflects that Morty definitely cares about his family more than Rick.
For Morty, rick is someone who suddenly appears in his world and then pulls him on an adventure regardless, someone who "abandoned his childhood mom, little planet and everything", a "devil" Or a messed up god", a man who doesn't care about everything including himself, he has seen with his own eyes how rick trades with killers or dumps his own creations for game currency or drug, and also sees how "skillful" rick abandons their original world.
Morty's attitude towards rick should be the most sensible in his family, probably because he always takes risks with rick, sees more, knows rick better than others, he is neither like Beth's overly attached nor like Summer's excessive exaggeration, let alone Jerry's excessive hatred, he sees Rick as an arrogant and irresponsible mad scientist who sometimes even hurts his family emotionally.
In his heart, rick has never been a hero, but an irresponsible and arrogant god, a god who can easily get everything he wants, and can also abandon everything without caring. I think that's one of the reasons why morty didn't choose to go to federal prison to rescue rick, because morty knew that nothing could trap rick's "god", he believed that rick could save himself, he never believed that his rick would die .
But in fact, what Morty sees is exactly the side of himself that Rick wants him to see: absolutely sensible, infinitely capable, and in control of everything. And rick's "irrational" side is deeply hidden by himself so that no one can see it. Occasionally showing such a corner, rick will quickly hide it, so obscure and fleeting, I hope that in the future For a few seasons, Morty will really understand Rick and see where Rick's grief comes from.
From s1 to s3, morty has been growing, and his growth is highlighted in s3e5 (The Whirty Dirty Conspiracy). In the absence of rick, morty's ability is displayed, whether it is calmly dealing with summer's deformation, facing the dialectical thinking of the deformer, or the final processing method. a lot of).
At the end of the third season, Morty once again chose his family instead of Rick. On the one hand, Rick really made me feel bad, and on the other hand, Morty's choice was also expected by me. It was nothing more than the choice of Rick and his family. , Morty made his usual decision. For rick, maybe the family and affection that Morty values are the only way to end his pain, but if rick chooses affection, will he still be the original rick? Maybe this is an unsolved puzzle.
