Rick and Morty S4E03: It is meaningless to give up your dreams
The third episode of Rick and Morty (hereinafter referred to as RAM) in the fourth season is a super sick episode.
(Note: The following content is spoiler.) In this episode, rick created two robots, thus destroying a large number of planets and lives, just to make Morty give up the script he created and take the risk with him at ease.
Depriving a person of the opportunity to develop outwards, so that the other person has no other way out and can only stay by his side. This practice is called suppression in the pua, making the other person feel worthless and can only follow their own words.
The same thing was done by the protagonist of another funeral drama. In "Horse Boy BoJack", BoJack deliberately ruined Tao De's rock opera performance opportunities in order to allow Tao De to continue to live in his home and accompany him. , Later Tao De discovered that the close friendship with Ma Nan turned into a general friendship and moved away from Ma Nan's house. The simple and lovely Tao De and the selfish and willful Ma Nan began to separate for a long time.
The same thing, rick did more advanced, he designed the same plot based on Morty's script, let Morty take risks with himself, go through the whole plot, and finally make Morty feel that this plot is meaningless, so he " self " Give up writing scripts, give up the opportunity to become a screenwriter and even become famous.
As for life on a large number of planets? Rick doesn't care, as long as his grandson can take risks with him. From this perspective, rick and evil morty are really indistinguishable from each other.
In RAM, rick is omnipotent and the most powerful and intelligent person in the universe. Will this setting continue forever? One day Morty finds out what he is doing, will he sever contact with rick? It's unknown at the moment, just watching the end of the third episode, the people at Netflix commented on morty: Damn , it's like someone stealing his passion for his own ideas, he doesn't even know it. The next shot was switched to rick waiting outside for morty. It was the first time I felt that rick's smart face was so annoying.
Morty " self " feels that it is meaningless to write such a script, but, my little boy, do you know that it has other more valuable meanings: self-expression when writing the script, satisfaction when being recognized and appreciated by others, And your confidence after you might become famous is what your seemingly omnipotent grandpa can’t give you. He can develop potions for the girl you secretly love to fall in love with you, but it can’t let you really get her love for you. It is up to you to create and complete by yourself.
Writing plot-reversal scripts is not meaningless. Many screenwriters write scripts to express themselves, but insisting on this is already very powerful, and giving up dreams is meaningless.
The reason why I think this episode is morbid is that many people think it’s ricky and extremely smart, but I think this practice of ruining most of the planets just to ruin your dreams is super morbid, and more importantly, Morty still didn't know that it was not that he " he " gave up his dream of writing a script.
In the sixth episode of the third season of RAM, rick and morty enter the psychological detox device (the machine in the play works to purify the traits that people most hate and want to get rid of), and what morty is purged is inferiority. , Weak and dependent, Morty, who has no inferiority complex, is super healthy and full of self-confidence. Compared with the previous him, he is confident that he has achieved success in the secular sense.
I believe that this is what most people want and should become the most. It's just that, in the process of growing up, we will always encounter some self-confidence deprivers consciously or unconsciously. In order to realize their self, they do not hesitate to deprive others at the cost of self. Many people have been cowardly and cowardly, precisely because they have not been sufficiently protected.
In the third episode of the fourth season, rick is exactly morty's self-confidence deprivation. Compared with the two taking risks to fight monsters together, this is really boring.
