S4E8: Appearance and separation

On the surface, S4E8 is more like the more god-like episodes in the first three seasons, so I can understand the high score, but from the core, it has lost the part that I admired the most, which is the logical self-consistency, I still think they lost it. In sci-fi/brain-burning/brain-hole film and television dramas, the degree of excitement is related to whether the logic is self-consistent and related. I can accept that Superman can fly, but I can't accept that Superman hugs his girlfriend who is in free fall without cutting her into 3 pieces.

I have always admired my grandfather's contempt for time travel, because time travel will bring great logical paradoxes. If the focus is not on the logic of time travel, some memes are needed to make the movie interesting. Like no matter how much you travel, you can't change the past, it's a fun idea if you're the first, but boring after that. Or the idea that you can change the future by going back in time. The show has always been loyal to this attitude, so all the ricks in citadel are the same size, and all the mortys are the same size, which means that no one time travels, the logic is very self-consistent.

But there are too many logical problems in this episode, and they are all related to the core logic. More precisely, it is a kind of inconsistency. Grandpa said that when morty presses the read button, morty will be sent to a parallel world. The biggest problem is that the time is messed up. The time of the two worlds is different, or the age of morty in the two worlds is different. , isn't this still time travel? Secondly, it shows that grandpa's technology can easily find an almost identical parallel world. In a previous episode, when they made a mess of their own world and then replaced the grandfather and grandson who were killed in the parallel world, grandpa said this kind of thing If you can only do it three or four times, it shows that it is not easy to find this kind of parallel world, which is another contradiction. But grandpa found a world where grandfather and grandson just died, but now he is killing, which is also contrary to the previous setting.

There are also some serious problems, which have nothing to do with the previous settings, but are simply unreasonable. For example, there is still a big difficulty in this technology. It is to restore the morty to the save button. Many times, it feels like it is about to hang up or even hangs up. There is also the biggest question, why does morty think that the death of morty in those parallel worlds is caused by him, and it is the consequence he has to bear. Isn't this tm killed by grandpa? It's like I'm giving you this book, it's very beautiful, but what you don't know is that every time you turn a page, someone will die, shouldn't these dead people be counted on the head of the person who invented this appalling book. In the play, I tried to use a very far-fetched logic to justify this. When my grandfather gave morty the remote control, he said, do you want to listen to my explanation or have fun? Finally, he said that Morty was wrong because Morty didn't listen to the explanation, so make fun of me , everyone will choose have fun, you should put the ugly words to the front when you invent this kind of thing. In addition, why does merging parallel worlds save people? First of all, those mortys who were killed should die instantly without pain (not to mention why the ricks in those worlds would not stop them), and the result of the merge is that those mortys were not born at all. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with saving people half a dime. No.

The story of morty and his little girlfriend is not bad. The soundtrack and plot design are all good. Unfortunately, I guessed the result after watching a little bit, because the about time I watched before has similar stalks. It is the deep feelings that make the protagonist endure a lot of Pain and reluctance to use the reset button. Otherwise this can be a bright spot.
