Rick and Morty Episode Idea
As much as I enjoyed season 9, I feel like the show has lost the main storyline. The main antagonist are all out of the picture with Rick Prime dead and Evil Morty incarcerated.
My main joy from watching this show came from the Evil Morty story arc and I’m sure many would agree.
I hope to see a new storyline created that introduces a new main antagonist or a story arc that can be carried on for seasons like the Evil Morty storyline.
EPISODE IDEA:
If I could create a new story arc I’d have Rick and Morty go on an adventure and Morty dies. As we all have seen especially in the latest season, Rick has a deep regard for Morty. He even was willing to sacrifice himself once to save Morty in the episode "A Rickle in Time" (Season 2, Episode 1).
Anyway, Morty’s death would cause Rick to seek Morty’s revival by doing something we all know he despises…time travel or as he calls it “the Long Island iced tea of science fiction.” Rick would essentially go back in time to stop the event from happening. However, to do so he’d have to seek help from Evil Morty who is currently locked in time prison. Rick would break Evil Morty out of time prison and in exchange Evil Morty would “help” Rick build this Time Machine.
Plot twist: Rick was only using Evil Morty so that he could take the place of Morty Prime’s death. This way the time police would never come searching for him. I know this part doesn’t make much sense but, I thought it would be a nice touch.
