Beth let rick decide where she should go, but rick knew that leaving Beth with only a bad marriage and an unhappy life. But rick also knew that once Beth left, she would not choose to come back. From now on, Beth would become like rick, not cherishing or valuing anything.

No matter which option rick does not want to see, he decides to create "two real daughters" and let them live a different life. It is not so much a solution as an escape.

He could solve his daughter's problems, Beth wanted a clone, and rick knew the result, which was not what he wanted. So he "made a selfish judgment" to choose such an irresponsible behavior. What a father can do to "cut in two" a daughter.

In my opinion, Rick is really a terrible father, but I don't know why this "rick-style" fatherly love touched me again. This irresponsible behavior, buried deep behind the changes of rick, I am amazed by the screenwriter's shaping of the characters.

Recall that in the first season, rick cold-bloodedly abandoned Beth of the main universe to another plane. Rick said he "doesn't care about everything in the universe". The most visibly grown character we can observe on this show is of course Morty, who started out like a jerry until he met rick. So, what about rick? rick, I believe since abandoning the family has become that kind of absolute ruthless, and then didn't know what happened to rick, and was interested in taking risks with morty (stupid brain waves?).

Rick changes himself while taking risks with Morty. Rick became human, took responsibility for family relationships, and opened up. But every time he changed, rick began to fall into a huge contradiction and began to feel confused about his life. In the final episode of the season, rick's decision to make him deeply hurt once again on the human side, because of his irresponsibility and the beginning of caring for his children. He finds out that he loves her daughter and convinces her that it's just a lie of "producing a plan to clone people", but the human part of Rick doesn't want her to repeat his tragedy, and the cold side doesn't want her to rot like this In one of his life, he lied to his daughter, carried the pain that he should not have carried, and "divided her into two".

Every time I see rick, the smartest person in the universe is caught in a situation where he doesn't know the answer to the question of "the conflict between humanity and ruthlessness", as an audience, I always feel a little bit of sadness for rick.

In the end, I really like the show rick & morty. The brain hole of this show is a big part of what attracts me, but the brain hole is just a flash in the pan. The core of a work should be "character characterization". Many people regard rick as the protagonist, but in fact I think morty should be the real protagonist. Although the screenwriter has not fully expressed it so far, the potential for character creation is huge. The two characters in this show are extreme, rick and jerry. I think their popularity should be comparable, rick is cool and powerful, jerry is very annoying. But none of them are objects we choose to pursue or change in reality, but morty. At first, morty felt a bit like "a dirty version of Nobi Nobita", but since he traveled with rick, he has learned a lot and discovered a lot about himself, and he gradually realized that he can't be like rick, Can't be like jerry either. Rick is brave, irresponsible and casual, while Jerry is cowardly and overly dependent on his family. Morty is still looking for what he wants. In his eyes, the elders are just escaping from reality. Having the courage to face life and not giving up on loving life after discovering the truth is his attitude towards finding answers. Maybe this is what the writers want to express to us in the future.

I'm looking forward to the fifth season. I heard that it has been renewed for 70 episodes. With the funds, the main creators can no longer create part-time jobs. It is really hard work for the main creators. I really appreciate these Artists have brought a lot of joy to our lives! So I'm looking forward to seeing you next season~~
