About S1E6 In this episode, let's talk about the growth of morty first. Morty followed rick across to another universe, and found that the quarreling parents, the older sister watching TV on the sofa, everything was indistinguishable from the original world, but it was not the original world. This contradiction made him aware of life and the universe. absurd.

So there is the most bright line of this season

In addition, in this episode, Rick in the original world screwed everything up but survived. On the contrary, Rick in the current world got everything back on track but died in an explosion. The universe seemed to be joking with them.

It's like Mr. Bai, who didn't smoke but got lung cancer, and Hanke's condition eased after smoking. We could only smash the wall angrily, beat and tease his fate. In such an absurd universe, anything can happen, there is no karma, bad guys may live long, and good guys may die early. Rick's words express this absurdity to the extreme.

This kind of thing is possible in parallel universes, so is Hitler the demon who paints the earth with blood or the angel who cures cancer? And after Rick and Morty left, the Smith family was happier. Although people all over the world have become Cronenberg monsters.

The opposite in the present world

Here again, the absurdity of life and the universe is highlighted, which is really a drama that does not seem to be over-interpreted.
