Since Morty’s consciousness is being dominated by the identities of the many NPCs for whom the game world is reality, their inclination, upon hearing Rick/Roy’s message that they are all part of the same grandson, is to form a religion around this idea, which they celebrate with bad rock songs, just like Christianity does. Rick has inserted himself into the game as the titular character Roy, to try and liberate Morty’s mind from the game.Ī lot of clever stuff is done with this concept. It seems if you’re jacked into the game and the power goes out, the game will restart and splinter your consciousness across all the non-player characters, which is exactly what has happened to Morty. It’s technically not totally accurate to have said this episode is without lore because it’s centered almost entirely around one of the best-ever Rick and Morty gags, the arcade game “Roy: A Life Well Lived,” introduced in season two’s “Mortynight Run.” It’s just not very deep or exciting lore, unless you’ve been waiting four seasons for more details on how the “Roy: A Life Well Lived” arcade cabinet works. In fact, that last one isn’t so dissimilar from this new episode, except this one’s about a society where every person is inhabited by a small piece of Morty’s consciousness. Some examples of other episodes that do this sort of thing are “Promortyus,” which explores (and subsequently massacres) a society of face-hugger aliens “Mort Dinner Rick Andre,” which follows the accelerated timeline of a Narnia-style dimension and “Auto Erotic Assimilation,” which examines a society in which everyone is mind-controlled by one entity. “Rick: A Mort Well Lived” is quintessential in that it does that standard Rick and Morty thing of taking a sci-fi concept and then devoting an entire episode to expanding upon it-pulling it apart, exploring the inner-workings of it, and, ideally, imbuing it with emotional stakes in the process.
Recent comments from the show’s creators suggest that we can expect to see this plotline continued this season, but you can’t lore all the time, so the second episode of season six returns to more familiar territory with a quintessential Rick and Morty one-off sci-fi adventure. In the season premiere, we were told Rick’s portal gun was still nonfunctional and learned that Rick Prime is out there and is probably going to try to kill Rick, Morty, and, I don’t know, everybody else? The guy just seems to like killing.
