They actually reference the off screen Atlantis adventure, Rick mentions how he fornicated with a mermaid and Mr.Nimbus said “I knew it was you”

I was just about to say the same thing although I don't think it doesn't debunk the whole thing
@@reefroad7726 everything else lines up too well for that this to be a debunker, it could be to make you think that this is C-137 rick
He else was going to comment this but saw this comment
Rick and morty is that kind show where unless they directly quote that was when they went to atlantis, you can't be sure they actually reference that exact adventure
morty not being to a full week of school in “several years” because of ricks adventures, yet only being 14, implies that rick has been around for those years. which makes sense with the viewed memories from close rick counters of the rick kind because he would have seen this morty when he was younger.
The young Morty in ricks memory are from his home universe, in the current universe he died when beth was young or left, and has since replaced himself
Does he say he's 14 in season 5?
@@theMcWOPPER yes. The scene even appears in this video
Its called a figure of speech
@@Kxy2x yes, in the real world maybe so, however in this show each word a character says is deliberately chosen by the writing staff. They wouldn’t have morty say “in several years” unless it actually was several years so as to not mislead the audience
This aged like a fine milk.
Yep

Like a warm milk
None of his prediction is ever correct. He should stick with "theory" not prediction, at least the creator don't bother to prove him wrong with a theory
Looks like it's just the new writers being, simply, bad
Instead of Mortys origin story, it was Ricks origin story this whole season.
False the whole season wasn't his origin story. You just see his origin story in a memory. Everything was current with flashbacks.
I've seen the newest Episode and i wanna say: 'Evil' is a funny word to use for Evil Morty. I mean, anyone here who remembers the End-Boss of the Show 'Supernatural'? If i remember correctly, this Morty-Breeding-Machine and the End-Bosses Obsession with a certain 2 Brothers is very, very, very similar. Entertainment-Obsession or Grandson-Obsession: Seems pretty similar to Me.
@@OneTyler2Many But this isn't Evil Morty's Story either I just explain the age process isn't aging but not being killed or being clone or replaced base on a specific time since our Morty Never died for 2+ years Meaning he should be 16 by now but the thing is he is still 14. Evil Morty also should be older since our Morty should be Younger but due to the fact it's a cartoon they don't age.
@@SmokingSexyStyle They literally played the age thing as a joke its not that deep
@@littlechungus4909 But game theory is still wrong on this one. Our Morty would have betrayed Rick causing our Rick to die and him becoming Evil Morty. Plus it's just theory who cares
The part about Morty being 14 there was a line he said at one point saying "I've been 14 for years now"
I think morty started out at 12 back when the show first started it's run with the adult swim promo " morty just wants to be an ordinary 12 year old".
@@Spicystachegamer No, he's been 14 the whole time. The thing is, Rick and Morty know they're in a television show.

@@callistoarmy5576 stop this. This isn’t cool and it doesn’t work. Viewers don’t like this, creators don’t like this, no one does
Turns out the writers WERE just being inconsistent with the characters, and even all the smaller details like dates talked about in the theory. Every thing that mentioned has being "totally out of character" was random and without purpose.
Yep just old-fashion lazy writing Tho the season final slaps
@@knowledgeablebro6970 And also the 1st and 2nd episode, plus "A rickonvenient mort" and ep 8
It's so confusing. Like did they just forget stuff? How did they let it get this sloppy? I guess the first 2.5 seasons were a fluke? I liked the season finale but aside from that, kinda feels like a wasted season to be honest. They did the "canon" stuff in such a way that just felt like a parent saying, "Fine, here is the thing you wanted now stfu about it." And it was done well enough, but felt unresolved.
They are intentionally subverting your expectations of consistency and making fun of those tropes and the people who follow them religiously.
@@crowman1795 That worked so great with Star Wars.
Well, this was obviously disproved by the last few episodes of season 5 but I think that the theory still holds some merit to it. Instead of it being "Evil" Morty's backstory, it may just be how over time Morty C-137 becomes "Evil" Morty as is hinted by Evil Morty when he says that all of us are Evil Morty once we get sick of Rick. We've witnessed our Morty getting smarter and going on more solo adventures, as well as how he is getting increasingly aggressive and emotionally unstable, also realising that Rick doesn't care for him at all and would abandon/replace him without a second thought. The entire season seems to present the idea of how Evil Morty is just like all the other Mortys, but just wanted to break the cycle. Perhaps the box of "time travel stuff" could play a part soon too.
Interesting opinion
It's likely the lack of interest in time travel by Rick is due to his apparent creation of the central finite curve.
I just wanna say there is no C-137 Morty. C-137 Beth was killed along with Diane.
Yeah i think this too
@@Tristan02539 makes no sense. Why would c-137 Rick start this government without decoy and some other Rick came with his grandson and then the rickiest rick clones that grandson? Also in the finite curve are only universes where rick is the smartest and every rick needs a morty. The OG rick would have to be the one who came up with morty
They DID address that Rick and Morty went to Altantis in the Mr Nimbus episode and fooled around with some hot mermaids! Mr Nimbus: "I KNEW that was you!" (That's my only contribution to this theory)
Now I have to rewatch to find matpat is right or I am because I think ep 1, 2 & 4 is showing our morty who is 16 and Rick is changing after that thing went with Beth and pp or bp and ep3 showing evil morty which is also shoutout to 4 th ep anime and mats Thory evil morty is his first morty and second morty is to counterbalance to evil morty as some morty refer to him true and mortiest morty plus I guess the ep 4 anime version of Rick is stick with his family instead of bailing them for 20 yrs
kzhead.info/sun/e7yBdM6nmIKmZok/bejne.html ..
That's a true statement
@SolarCaronte there are infinite Rick's and Mortys...the same could theoretically happen to another pair of Rick and Morty. Also...could be a narrative Red Herring.
One thing that is important...we might have different episodes with different ricks and morties Like we saw on the ep with the doubles. We can't tell the difference...So it might happen that some eps are normal rick and morty and others are other versions of then.
“In 24 hours, someone will tie this broadcast to Evil Morty somehow” -Jelloapocalypse
I'm Back. Sorry the theory was incorrect. It was the other way around, It was Rick's Origin Story
Well now we know the Rick and Morty we’ve been watching is C-137, some I’m curious to see how the continuity errors will be explained. This would’ve made a lot of sense before the finale. I’m thinking the last 2 episodes could’ve been our Rick and Morty, and maybe the first 8 episodes of the season are a different Rick and Morty? Not sure, hope season 6 explains all.
I've seen the newest Episode and i wanna say: 'Evil' is a funny word to use for Evil Morty. I mean, anyone here who remembers the End-Boss of the Show 'Supernatural'? If i remember correctly, this Morty-Breeding-Machine and the End-Bosses Obsession with a certain 2 Brothers is very, very, very similar. Entertainment-Obsession or Grandson-Obsession: Seems pretty similar to Me.
@@slevinchannel7589 I’m not quite sure that evil Morty is necessarily “evil”. Although I think the idea of anything being evil is silly, I believe evil Morty had good intentions. It just happens that Rick didn’t like those intentions. At that point you have to ask, do the means justify the end? I guess we will see once the implications of the curve being destroyed is revealed. I’m very excited to say the least!
@@karsonkelley6002 I'd say: That breeding-program of the Citadel was 'evil beyond evil' and 'terrifying beyond what 'Satan' of many Worlds and Games and Books has ever planned. I'd say its just like 'Chuck' from 'Supernatural' and there he was; guess what; the END BOSS. Stopping a Multi-verse-level Evil is kinda badass and heroic, if you ask me. Yeah, he could definetly have singeled out the 'good' Mortys and Ricks, but oh well. Still pretty impressive what he managed to do.
@@karsonkelley6002 In a world with Rick Sanchez (even a trillion of him...): Yeah, its objectively and obviously fact that the End justifys the means...
Nah ep 8 is connected to the previous season and that ep some of bird person memories connected with Rick's flash back in ep 10 and it would make sense ep 1-7 being a different dimension rick and morty
8:35 the only loophole to your theory is that in Season 5 episode 3, as Planetina flies away from Morty’s house after Beth kicks her out, as she flies away, if you freeze frame it and zoom in to the top right of screen, we actually see the graves where Rick and Morty from C-132 were buried in the backyard. This was intentionally drawn there, which means, the Rick and Morty in season 5 are the ones from C-137 who are now in C-132, as confirmed by season 5 episode 3.
Don't forget Mr nimbus references the ricklantis mixup
In infinite universes though it is entirely possible that rick and morty have done that exact same thing in another existence, so maybe its a red herring?
Also, after going back and looking at it, I only see one grave, and it honestly doesn’t even look that much like a grave
@@trueblueranger6 after seeing the clone episode you could be completely right
@@jacobulewicz3297 it probably got overgrown with time
The real cincher for this theory, is if it's revealed the Rick we're watching reminisces with this Morty about being around for his childhood, or something to that effect. 137 Morty didn't spend any time with his grandpa until the start of the show, but we also know 137 Rick did spend time with a Morty at a young age, specifically Evil Morty.
I believe that line is exclusive to the pilot.
Episode 7 completely debunks this theory.
So Rick leaves the season 5 morty for the normal one?
@@mobiusbelts3607 episode 7 isn’t even out
@@mobiusbelts3607 episode 4 just came out. So unless you are Ant Man & The Wasp, we don’t believe you. :P
(SPOILERS). You were right (KINDA) it is his origin story. When evil morty is explaining his reason that he’s evil he says he’s evil because he’s sick of Rick which is something you see happening through out the show.
He also says “if you’ve ever disagreed with Rick, you’re an evil Morty too” Who says there’s only one evil morty
I think the issue is implying or otherwise assuming that Evil Morty is so special to begin with. I'm saying this because in the season 5 finale, Evil Morty implies that all Mortys in the Rickverse eventually become evil when they learn the truth behind their existence: "If you've ever been sick of him [Rick], then you've been evil too. There you go kid. Now you're Evil Morty. Sooner or later, we all are...on this side of the curve." So what that says to me is that the only reason they have yet to become evil is because they don't know about the Central Finite Curve. What that further implies is that Evil Morty was the first one to understand this and that's why he's so unlike his counterparts. He isn't special, he just beat the rest of the Mortys to the punch. Since Evil Morty needed C-137's memories specifically to access the other side of the Multiverse, that implies that our Rick is the only living Rick that knows about the Curve. So what does that suggest? This itself might be a nod to Evil Morty's true origin story because if our Rick was the only one left who knew about the Curve, then how did Evil Morty know about it to begin with? Although it's true that the Ricks on the Council of Ricks knew about the Curve too since they helped to build the citadel, I don't think they're connected to Evil Morty and they probably never told their own Mortys about what they knew (assuming they had one or still have one). I also believe that C-137 killed the Ricks on the Council BEFORE Evil Morty could access their memories. So my theory is that after our Rick's family died, the family that he slipped into belonged to Evil Morty, the version of Rick's family that he never got to have. He raised Evil Morty to be like himself and perhaps he shared the knowledge of the Central Finite Curve with that version of his grandson. Otherwise, how would he know unless Evil Morty found out about the Curve when he scanned C-137's memories all the way back when they first introduced Evil Rick. But I don't think that's the case because Evil Morty even says to C-137 "You can't escape your past Rick", which suggests to me that the two know each other (then again, he did read most of Rick's memories after their first encounter way back with Evil Rick, so maybe not -- it could just be a taunt and nothing more). At the end of "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind", Rick says something ominous to his Morty to the effect of "don't become too smart for your own good", further casting suspicion (in my opinion) that C-137 had something to do with Evil Morty's backstory involving the Central Finite Curve. That knowledge probably broke Evil Morty and transformed him into an evil version of Rick's grandson. Perhaps this is why our Rick is so reluctant to share anything about what he knows with our Morty to prevent the same outcome from repeating itself. Perhaps Evil Morty and C-137 had a falling out, so that Morty slipped into another Rick's life (Evil Rick) and began his quest to free himself from the Rickverse while our Rick simply found another family. If you're looking for an origin story, I'd say that this is likely the case. The only other possibility I can think of is the theory going around that the reason why C-137 never found the Rick that killed his family is because that Rick somehow escaped to the other side of the Multiverse and THAT is how Evil Morty knew about the curve. Perhaps that Rick is his true Rick and not C-137 after all. But honestly, there are so many unknowns to Evil Morty's backstory specifically that pretty much anything goes at this point. The only thing we know for certain is that he isn't Rick's original grandson since that Morty never got the chance to be born in the first place. Everything else is a tossup.
nice theory bro really well put i agree completely
But didn't evil Morty create evil Rick?
@@chim8939 In a sense, yes. The Rick he was controlling was organic with implanted cybernetics, so before Evil Morty used him as a puppet, that Rick was likely autonomous and living his own life in much the same way as his infinite versions. If Rick C-137 and Evil Morty had a falling out, and that Morty slipped into another Rick's life, perhaps he did so with the intention of controlling that Rick to draw his plans against escaping the Rickverse. To do that, Evil Morty needed to lure C-137 using Evil Rick to scan his memories for what he was looking for, and that was what the Central Finite Curve was and where to find it. The only thing he didn't get was how to bring it down and access the other side of the Multiverse. That's why he had to lure C-137 for a second time. But back when Evil Rick was around, the other people that knew about the Central Finite Curve was the Council of Ricks, NONE of whom Evil Morty tried to lure into a trap. He only tried to lure in C-137, the Rickest of the Ricks. Why take such a chance? Such a risk? Why not go after the lesser Ricks? It implies that as far as Evil Morty knew, only C-137 knew what the Central Finite Curve was, where it could be found and how he could escape. Which means, in all likelihood, he found out about it through C-137 himself, thereby suggesting that they have history. EDIT: I was just thinking that he can't be Evil Rick's original grandson either because not even most Ricks know about the CFC. Unless C-137 just came by one day and dropped that bombshell, but what would the reason be? I find that alternative to be less likely.
When the comment is better than the video:
The easiest and most simple connection from Rick to Evil Morty is the one memory that Rick has involving picking up a Baby Morty. Evil Morty was definitely part of the first family Rick slipped into, and Rick slipped in from near the beginning of Beth and Jerry's marriage in that universe. Evil Morty grew up around Rick, he had way more time than any regular Morty to adjust to Rick.
Jessica also acted like she’d never been on a date with Morty before, or met Rick previously. Which she has?
i was thinking the same thing. like in the toxins episode, rick’s apparently close enough with her to have her number.
Well Rick could have erased her memories because he was embarrassed
@@yocharlysurf Wasn't that the episode where they ended up changing dimensions and replacing the other Rick and Morty that died though? It might be the same Rick but it's a different Jessica.
@@merdas9058 true, but i feel like if any minor inconvenience or plot hole can be explained away like that then its poor writing. bc then what’s the point? and rick is definitely a bit more out of character this season among other things like how often have we heard him call morty ‘kiddo’? or be cordial enough to ask how is saturday is going..? he usually just doesn’t care. i think it at least hints that something is different for a show as baseless as family guy can be, you still don’t randomly see peter being friendly to meg unless there’s something going on, or unless the plot revolves around a break from his character like when she almost drowns and he becomes super obsessive over her.

i can debunk this. In the official rick and morty mobile game pocket mortys, if you find the one true morty, you can see that he is from dimension c-568 while the one in the show is from c-137. this is proven as hints of the main story in the tv show are hidden in there, and since there are infinite realities in rick and morty, pocket mortys is considered canon. while we dont know what rick we follow in pocket mortys.
@Sam that's because Rick and Morty was intended to be a filler based show, like SpongeBob.
Goddamn this whole theory was so good that I just assumed it was true throughout the season and I kinda got let down when it wasn't :(
The final episode was still really good tho!
About the whole "morty still being 14" thing, I'm pretty sure the creators have said something about not having any birthday episodes as they want the characters to stay the same age, even if they have several Christmas episodes and such. Cartoon characters not aging isn't exactly anything new.
@Angry Combat Wombat go to ep3 and go to the frame of plantina leaving you can see the grave of c132
Exactly. I can't even think of a cartoon where the characters DO age lol
@Angry Combat Wombat nah done all the time in simpsons acknowledging Progression of time and past events while no one actually ages.
@@Oliver-fu1go They mention events but I can't think of them ever mentioning time, in relation to episodes. Morty specifically hints at the first episode, and says it was "years ago." In the Simpsons, however, when events are mentioned, it's always events we haven't seen yet in order to tell a new story. As an example, in the first few seasons, when Marge and Homer are seen in their childhoods, they're in the 70s; but now-a-days, they apparently grew up in the 90s. I can't think of a time where anyone in the Simpsons or a show similar has specifically said "Remember when I did this thing a few years ago" in relation to another episode.
@@nickcopley606 true
Conspiracy theory: Every time there is a continuity error in the show it’s actually the episode switching to an alternate but very similar reality.
in the episode with the planet lady thing, in the end, you can see Rick and Morty's graves. So that is probably following C-137. But with the decoys, it may not be?
@@Slugcatsam I’m just saying that no one said that couldn’t have happened to other Ricks or Mortys. Assuming that all Ricks have the capability to make the love potion and to dimension hop, it is possible the same situation could have happened to several Ricks and Mortys.

Exactly. @HumanHere I have been asking thisss
its so funny too watch back on this and see how wrong he is
wow so the season sucked so bad that they thought there was some inner meaning
There's one giant flaw that disproves this entire theory -- in S5E1 with Mr. Nimbus, Rick says "I've already been to war with Atlantis when I D-Day'd that mermaid puss" which is a direct reference to C-137's trip to Atlantis, proving the Rick in S5E1 is Rick C-137.
Finally someone mentions it

Whoa hold on here Mat Pat. This Rick and Morty is in fact the ones that did go to Atlantis. In episode 1, right when negotiations fail with Mr Nimbus, Rick does mention being in Atlantis smashing mermaid's and Mr Nimbus responds "i knew that was you!". So it does appear to be 1 and the sane.

@@Kali-bs7oj Though evil Rick is indeed stated to be closest to C-137 (and therefore, evil Morty and the universe itself would be too), it stands to reason that Evil Morty also cronenberged a world and successfully escaped to another dimension with his Rick It would also work as a clever misdirect from the writers because people would think exactly what you’re thinking
@@vbarreiro hmmmm that’s interesting, though I must object. That super weird Rick is closer to C-137 Rick
It's probably similar to how in the Simpsons, despite years of Christmas specials, Bart and Lisa are still kids, Maggie's still a baby and Grandpa is still alive. It's just a gag about cartoon characters not ageing.
I think we should also point out that space Beth appears too. I think we knew that C-137 Rick created her.
Rick contradicts himself all the time. He just says what he needs to say in the moment to continue doing whatever he wanted to do. There are already been instances of him trying to connect with someone in a loving way. Like that hivemind episode.
I think we're witnessing a dimension with a big plot twist and evil morty doesn't sound that far fetched if look at the wedding squanchers episode and how they revealed Tammy was a secret agent sent from the galactic federation! I think this may be another one of those big twists that it were being joshed with and it ends up being it was meant to be believed to be something it wasn't who knows only the finale will tell!
Amazing theory but kinda doesn’t work bc towards the end of the season they do refer to themselves as C1-37 soooooooo
0:10 finally somebody else says it well madonna also said it as well "tell me love isnt true, its just something that we do"
Didn’t Rick tell Mr. Nimbus about his time in Atlantis and Mr.Nimbus responded by saying, “I knew that was you!” Wouldn’t this exchange prove we are still on the same timeline?

The thing is with infinity dimensions there are an infinite amount of rick that got that mermaid puss
But also the Graves are present in the plantina episode
@@TheNis240sx It would be super funny if, in the "Morty Gets an Eyepatch" episode, they reveal something totally different buried, and that Rick and Nimbus were talking about something completely different. Probably not, but would be fun.
What about Summer saying "protect Summer" to the car in order to try to unlock it? And Morty asking "Why are all old guys so jacked"? How can alternate Morty and Summers know about canonical stories?
Because the chances of Evil Morty and our Morty to have experienced nearly the same things are pretty big. Plus even if they haven't, he doesn't explecitly reference the ticket guy, Morty might be talking about a completely different old buffed dude
Season 5 episode 5 completely destroys this theory. Summer references the events of S2 Ep6 which is after evil morty’s first appearance.
In the leaked episode 7, this rick is called C137, so this whole theory is bust

Because it’s a bad theory lol
big oof at the season ending huh?
They used the portal gun to travel to and from Atlantis. So even if it is located in an ocean on Earth, we can assume they travelled to Atlantis in a dimension where there is no Mr. Nimbus.
i think it’s the same atlantis because rick mentioned doing stuff with mermaids and mr. nimbus said “i KNEW that was you…” so it has to be the same atlantis on earth right?

Well that didn't age well. The characters changes aren't extreme at all. Like people need to go back and watch season 1-4 because it's clear morty has got more violent because Rick has been constantly telling him nothing matter they destroy 2 previous worlds they lived in.
I've seen the newest Episode and i wanna say: 'Evil' is a funny word to use for Evil Morty. I mean, anyone here who remembers the End-Boss of the Show 'Supernatural'? If i remember correctly, this Morty-Breeding-Machine and the End-Bosses Obsession with a certain 2 Brothers is very, very, very similar. Entertainment-Obsession or Grandson-Obsession: Seems pretty similar to Me.

Didn't Rick tell Nimbus he screwed some mermaids and Nimbus yelled "I knew that was you!". Showing that Nimbus did not fully know Rick and Morty went to Atlantis.
Yeah he said he d dayed that mermaid
yeah its something he glanced over i guess maybe he didnt fully watch the episode
Another thing he overlooked: you can see their graves from Episode 3 when Planet-Tina leaves Morty after the breakup 🤔
Thats still a continuity error. Nimbus should have known they were there the moment Rick touched the ocean
@@kawaiiqueee3489 That still could have been something Evil Morty experienced, though. With multiverse theory, some can be extremely similar to others, with only small differences.
People make this theory EVERY SEASON, I have given up on it. That being said, the 2 Christmas’ throughout the show is something I had being paying attention to for a while, and I too was confused when Beth said he was 14, but I wrote it off as an Ash Ketchum thing.
The creators of the show have stated that they don’t intend on aging up the characters
well i guess this one is definatly what people were waiting for. Because why WOULD morty be so pissed and so in control with weapons when we saw in other stuff he was not?
True, and I feel like this theory is a little too... predictable? Especially for this show and the writers. I have no doubt Evil Morty will come back but I don't think it will be like this. Also, I personally saw Rick's "acting out of character" as character development after his introspective thoughts at the end of season 4 and really confronting himself about how he is a bad father and friend. As for Morty, I don't think he was acting more immature in e3. His meltdown was pretty called for honestly and he's acting more confident and capable this season which makes sense given the events he went through since season one (me assuming it's still c-137 Morty). ALSO, in e5, we see a glimpse graves Rick and Morty dug for themselves in s1 leading me to believe also it is the same characters we were following.
I can explain the 2 Christmas’ and its not that deep. It just so happened that 2 seasons had schedules that had episodes in December
So that means...RUBBA LUBBA DUB DUB
one thing i noticed as to why planetina doesn't feel bad about killing people is that she's missing the one most important element of all. "Heart" She's literally a captain planet rip off with out the element of Heart to help ground her to loving all creatures of the world.
That's cool thought. I wondered why they didn't add Heart, well it was lame power in cartoon, but with what you said it make sense.
This video did not aged well
It may just be to put people off the scent, but Rick specifically references the Atlantis adventure to which Mr. Nimbus responds, "I knew that was you"
Yeah but whos to say that our new Rick and Morty didn't also visit Atlantis at one point? If thats really whats going on anyway. I myself am convinced they arent C-137.
Yeah
@@Jacobmelrose26 well Rick is C-137 in episode 4 and 7 he’s referred to as C-137 but maybe that Rick just is not the morty or maybe our morty isn’t c137 morty

@@Jacobmelrose26 just watched the latest episode. Rick was explicitly referred to as C-137 Rick by one of the other Ricks, which basically throws this theory out the window, unfortunately 😒 Was genuinely hoping that this theory was true but I guess the creators have something else in store Edit: Actually no, this theory could still be true. Though at the very least it’s confirmed that episode 5 (and therefore by proxy, episode 4) are C-137 Rick.
imagine the "epic cannon" was jus background on ricks car
I know this is old and whatnot, but I've got to disagree about the "love" comments in the beginning. Especially when showing Unity as an example of Rick "falling in lust, but not love." The ending of that episode makes it painfully clear that Rick loved Unity. Really loved Unity. They had a ton of lustful fun, sure, but that's not all their relationship was to him. He loves people, he just usually hates when he loves people (after having lost his family, I'm assuming). He calls those feelings "irrational attachments" in Rest and Ricklaxation, and through "Toxic Rick" we get to see how much he truly loves Morty. He's been getting more and more comfortable with "opening himself up" even though he sometimes tries not to. I don't think it's really all that odd, I think it's just character development and plot convenience. 🤷♀️
This video is why I always tell RAM fans that it's not that deep.
The evil morty theory was dumb from the beginning but I agree.
"Why the 2010 glasses?" Well... It would be in a bad taste to celebrate 2020, wouldn't it?
I just assumed it was 2010 on the planet they were going to
5:43 In the end credits, Rick and Morty say that they had sexual intercourse with mermaids, and in S5 E1, Rick tells Mr. Nimbus that he “f***ed a mermaid” and Nibus responds with “I knew that was you!” There’s a chance that Rick and Morty were sly enough to do their business and leave without Mr. Nimbus noticing. But hey, that’s just an idea, a Gamer Idea
Aaaaaaaaaaaand it was just the new writers, after all
Okay seriously with the amount of rick and morty theories, this is stepping into fnaf territory.
kzhead.info/sun/iLKudKyKep6ho6c/bejne.html
nothing is fnaf level
I don't really have a problem with it. It's a show with a lot to theorize about so it doesn't feel forced.
How has this comment not blowing up
Hi
Not sure this theory is 100% true, but it's gotta be close. I keep noticing this season how Rick is constantly getting saved from death (Mr. Nimbus saves him, in Ep 8 he gets saved a couple times inside Bird Person). Just weird that the alleged Rickest Rick keeps getting bailed out.
Yoooo kyle
Except in ep8, the Rick is our c137 or Rickest Rick. Maybe that was the only true episode and everything else was a parallel alternate Rick and Morty ?
I think given the huge reveal in ep8 about rick's 'dead daughter' that this could defs be all about the evil Morty. Seen some other theories about it too.
What's crazy is that episode basically confirmed that ricks back story in s3 isn't a complete lie, his original Beth and Diane died long before morty was born and that's what made him the way he is
@@zawruh but the episode did start with him trying to put together Birdperson so we know for sure this is current day Rick (after the events of Season 4). We also know that everything said to him by Past Rick (35 yr old memory Rick) is true becaue that is NOT Rick's memory but the objective memory of a figure independent from Rick and his variants, the memory of the Birdperson that rejected young Rick's offer to travel the multiverse, aka, the original Birdperson. So this is why this episode is important : it establishes canon background (while using Birdperson's objective memory) as a framing device.
Waiting for the follow up, cause the Season 5 finale was even crazier than this theory
Goddamnit, if this is actually right I’m gonna wish I hadn’t seen this.
dont worry, its not
Even if he was right, it wouldn't be the first time that fan theories got too close for the writer's liking so they change it up just to still have the 'gotcha'. (Just talking media in general not just r&m)
@@acrj-alfasaus4825 I’ll remember this
@Taco Turtle1313 you should've been more aware
It is not, season 5 finale got leaked last week
When planetina was outside morty’s window you can see the uneven grass from when they buried themselves so we know that at least that episode was c137 Rick and Morty
Yeah tbh i think that debunks loads of this theory. Issa cool theory but yeah
I can't see it
Crap I see it now. Oh no. I liked matpat's theory, though. Maybe the bump is a red herring?? Hopefully..
If there’s infinite realitys, then there’s some reality’s, where rick and morty left they’re own dimension and had to bury the rick and morty from that dimension. (Rick even says we only get to do this 5 maybe 6 time more, when they first transfer to a new dimension)
Beside that, in the last episode they introduced themselves as rick and morty c-137
Big time speculation theory here. What if Rick created the central finite curve specifically to prevent bill cipher from accidentally discovering one of the other ricks and tracking down our Rick who is speculated to have known Stanford Pines. Seriously it kindof makes sense if you look at it that Bill is smarter/more powerful than Rick when first encountered by young Rick.
It's easy to visit Atlantis if you go to a universe where there is no treaty between Nimbus and Rick.
About continuity shifts, we also got a lot if Beth being a horse surgeon despite the galactic confédération making horse "healthy forever". That's odd to say the least
Then her work is fake and its just pretend.
Wait but the only things we've seen her do are related to horses giving birth, nothing about them being unhealthy (also even if they're always healthy, they could still be injured)
The galactic Federation doesn't rule earth anymore tho. Whatever they were doing to keep horses healthy was probably in pill form that left when they collapsed
That and the fact that we haven't heard much about the job since then until S5

Qwestion that needs answering is how do the ricks confirm or keep track of witch Rick comes from where?
This isn't his origin story however it is the origin of a different evil morty cuz in the finale he calls morty evil for defying rick sometimes.
also, Rick does not have his signature drool in most of these
Tho there’s a theory that Rick C-137 is evil mortys original Rick
Yea could mean he became an alcoholic after this morty turned evil
Understand your point but on this very video the "Rickest Rick" mentions being the Rickest Rick and HE doesn't have the signature drool.
He doesn't drink from the flask in those episodes, either. One of the theories about the flask was that it contains mega seed juice, as mega seeds create the same drool and mess with other things. They really are seeding the field for nitpicking theorists :)
@@numberpi5473 Almost every decoy believed themselves to be the Rickest Rick though. We also know Rick clones exist and some method is in place to transfer his memories to a new body.

5:43 In the episode where they go to Atlantis they go through a portal. They could have been in an Atlantis where mr nimbus doesn’t exist or is fine with Rick.

Haha yea
It was very wrong, in a good way though. That season finale was INSANE
Something interesting is that there're already 4 episodes and they haven't used the portal pistol at all

NOW IT MAKES SENSE I KNEW RICK WAS DOFFERENT
Nah
But won't be because they have a tendency to reject theories
Evil rick wasnt a robot, but evil morty used tech to control evil ricks brain, that was made very clear in the show where one of the ricks said "He was being controlled, ive only seen this kind of technology once before" importantly, being controlled not just a robot. you can also see evil ricks real brain inside all the wires.
you do know once a fan theory is put out it cant happen, its like the train episode "they're taking all the good stuff" thats a reference to fan theories taking their best ideas if someone predicts your story you need to change it because its too predictable
Honestly and as a writer that the worst feeling someone able to predict your story before you tell it
Rick won’t let himself fall in love
Bruh Also first furry
Yea lol
But lets focus on morty, also yeah ur right
Aye
Thats sad
But Mat that's impossible since we see when planetina is flying away, we see dead rick and mortys Graves in the back of the house if you look really closely, which means for at least the planetina episode that is indeed canon, hmm mabye instead of a different timeline, we are watch 2 separate timelines take place at the same time
the actual twist was better than this sorry

@@geogamelion7895 if that's the go-tron episode that could still be c137 without changing this theory for two reasons: 1.

The go-tron episode is the only episode so far in which Rick utilizes his portal gun OR drinks from his flask (unless he has the flask in the planetina episode: but I don't think so...)
Theory: Remember the anime style youtube special. The theory Matpat made said that season 5 will show morty will turn into Rick. I think this is right. But I think it is a figuritive change. I think Morty will become characteristicly more like Rick with (his heartbreak, mass murder and most likely further events in the season) and not like evil Morty. Hey, but that's just a theory.

A swing… and a miss!
In the episode that came out last night summer does a throwback to the “keep summer safe” episode. Edit: It was just confirmed that the first episode of the season was evil Morty‘s origin story but the rest was not.
yep, theory disproven :(
And in the Voltron episode it was confirmed that we're watching C137
I think that might have been a adventure that happens in both time lines like mantis apocalypse ep .maybe this is Morty with c113 (we know that he is not c113 Morty and c113rick replaced his rick)in a timeline where c113 rick didn't replace him
also notice that evil Morty was no where to be scene in S4, I know I'm over theorizing but I really think that this will be very cool and if it's actually wrong then it's still just a theory
"there is no way morty is a 14 year old in the start of season 1 and still in season 5" meanwhile ash ketchum, being ten years old for more than 20 seasons
Meanwhile Bart Simpson, being ten years old for 34 years.
Both of those shows sit in arrested time though, much like a comic book. Everything takes place "now" and anything that happened prior happens in the year appropriate relative to the current one. Rick and Morty advances the time line much like a lot of modern live action shows. The comparison doesn't work.
RIck and morty is not the same thing as pokemon or The Simpsons...
Ash saw Ho-Oh at the end of the pilot episode. After seeing this pokemon, your guaranteed eternal happiness or whatever, which is why ash never ages, his happiness is being on an endless childhood adventure in an exciting world of pokemon. GIVE US THE CANNON
@@manuelreboledo8091 Granted, but the Floating Timeline still applies to all three.
They addressed getting some mermaid pus in the episode, Mr Nimbus suspected it was them, and really you're going to use 2010 glasses as evidence? Might as well point at a clock on the wall, the characters openly acknowledge that years have passed and regularly show they're aware of the audience.
I joined this mole hunt in season 5 but so far this the newest video of yours I've seen because I'm watching in chronological order. The first thing that was a little odd that I thought about way before this series is that Morty say "Split the Diff" enough times that I started saying it...
Morty, becoming evil morty has crossed my mind a few times before, morty probably will fall out with rick, then somehow hold a grudge on rick

@@xavierxrc hrrrrrricko
I think that the show was trying to do an examination of its own Nihilism with season 5 and all the details that appear to be meaningless. Historically the show has been very very intentional about including small details to explain a larger story arc. This season however seems to be an attempt to remind the audience that nothing has a purpose or actually matters, existence is absolutely random and I believe the randomness of season 5 is supposed to be a reflection of that part of existence. The show has always and is still about how existence is absolutely random and meaningless, and instead of getting caught up in trying to create meaning out of nothingness we should instead just sit back and enjoy the ride.
My theory is there's another Rick who is the Prime rick who is the main bad guy.
I can imagine at the end of the season mortys everyone is dead, including Rick (who he probably killed) then the camera just pans over to ricks corpse on a table and blueprints for the robot Rick and eyepatch as the one song that plays at the end of every evil morty episode just plays in the backround
There’s a mistake. You used the example of how Rick and Morty went on a mermaid adventure in season 3 as proof that this season is not in chronological order, but the Mr. Nimbus episode does reference that moment
So glad you said it I thought I was the only one who noticed
Yea I thought that too
@Miguel Messina I think he just didn’t care
Oh my God, this really IS just a shitty season.This might just be THE best wrong theory episode ever.
Hey @filmtheory I also wanted to mention that episode also takes place after summer was heartbroken which happens in an older season
Plot Twist: We've been watching Interdimensional Cable this whole time. 🤷♂️
Bruh imagine that’s jus the very last episode of the whole series 😭
While I absolutely LOVE this theory, here are some unfortunate holes... 1. In the next episode's opener posted by Adult Swim, Summer and Morty are left home alone. Before Beth leaves she warns them not to teleport the house, like they did in the season one finale. Which was the episode immediately AFTER the Ricklantis Mixup, where we meet Evil Morty. And... 2. When the C137 boys went to Atlantis, after returning at the end of the episode, they were talking about/celebrating the "mermaid puss". And in the season 5 opener, they reference this at the end when Rick admits to Nimbus that they did just that, as a prior violation of the treaty. So unless there's some kind of time travel involved, it's not evil Morty. But I totally agree with you about the odd writing this season. I also hope it's a set up for something.
In the episode Rick potion #9 everything about c132 was the exact same as c137 except that Rick and Morty died. Just because they reference something from past seasons in season five means nothing. It could literally be the exact same 'version' of everything but with a few minor changes. I'm not saying that's the case, just illustrating a possibility.
@@detective_mitch_conner this, it could be an intentional red herring
@@detective_mitch_conner of course it could be someone other than c137. There could be an infinite amount of Morty's who accidentally teleported their house during the party.

@@carpeimodiem in Rick potion #9 after Rick cronenberged the planet, they travelled to another identical universe (save for Rick and Morty dying in the garage) c132 that wasn't temporally synced with c137. You could argue symantics and call it time travel if you want (it isn't).
@@detective_mitch_conner what? No. That was the version where Rick actually cured everyone. Then went back to home and resumed working in the garage, accidentally blowing themselves up. There's no time travel involved.
In the episode rickternal friendshine of the spotless mort, Rick says “the potential for a new pickle Rick is skyrocketing” Meaning the pickle rick episode must have happened before this one
I mean, I feel like Rick has changed over the last 3 seasons. It doesn't feel too out of character to see him change.

Rick C-137s Morty (the Mortiest Morty) is not from dimension C-137. If Ricks backstory is to be believed in episode 10 of the latest season, this would mean that Ricks original Beth (Beth C-137) was killed as a child meaning there can’t be a Morty C-137.
