The biggest unsolved mystery in Rick and Morty

Hey everyone - I’m surprised there aren’t any YouTube videos diving into what I feel continues to be the biggest unsolved mystery in Rick and Morty. And that is the question of who is the “baby Morty” in all of Rick C137’s memories.

This baby Morty is referenced 2 times to my knowledge:

  1. Season 1, Ep 10: C137 has a memory of himself picking up a baby Morty, which leads him to tear up

  2. Season 2, Ep 5: Morty Prime sees a picture of C137 holding a baby Morty and asks Bird person “Who’s that baby?” Bird Person doesn’t answer.

But a potential third reference is the biggest mystery: in Season 1, Ep 10, at the end of the episode, C137 tells Morty Prime “ just don’t get too big for your loafers, buster brown. A cocky Morty can lead to some big problems. It can be a real bad thing for everybody.” Morty asks “Oh yeah how’s that?” And C137 responds: “I’ll explain when you’re older.” I will call the Morty referenced here as Problem Morty.

So what this tells me is that C137 has some kind of big past experience with with a Baby Morty (from the photo and the memory) and a Problem Morty (from Rick’s warning) that we have not yet explored or found the answers to, to my knowledge. Both the Baby Morty and the Problem Morty could be the same person. I don’t think this Baby Morty and this Problem Morty are Evil Morty, because Evil Morty’s backstory was revealed in season 7, and it doesn’t seem to have a connection to C137.

So who is the Baby Morty in C137’s memories, and who is the Problem Morty that C137 warns Prime Morty about? Have these questions ever been answered? Do C137 and Morty Prime have a deeper connection than what we know about now? Is there some other canon Morty who will be revealed down the line?

Thoughts?

Do you think evil morty could have beat Rick prime on his own without the help of Rick c-137

It’s just something I keep thinking about a lot, I would love to hear your thoughts.

R&M technology?

So my friend and I were watching R&M and was wondering if anything from the show is possible. For example Ricks portal or computer, how would that work with real world physics being applied. Also which of his tech are we close to having in the real world?

could rick have previously worked for the galactic federation

When you think about it, we know next to nothing about Rick’s life from before Beth was born, the only thing we’ve seen is at the end of the memory rick episode. Well, during Fear No Mort Rick said something pretty interesting to Diane.

I've seen that robot's arms. Yeah, I used them on a law enforcement drone that the Feds had me build. It's how we, uh -- How I met my wife.

it could be possible that Rick meet Diane while he was working for the galactic federation. maybe there the ones that first helped him with space travel in the beginning

Is it explained why Rick lives with family?

Often, in real life, it is because someone needs help physically or is confused. This is not the case with Sanchez by a long shot. Sometimes it is financial, but I would guess if Rick wanted to make money, he could -- he could portal into a bank vault, right?

On the other hand, he says he wishes he owned the rights to Jerry daycare centers (what an idea, I mean for the show, that was) but he may not be serious. I just don't believe money is a problem for him.

Does he simply like being near his family? Or more deviously, does he need them for cover?

How dangerous were the memory parasites?

Besides consuming resources (the fake uncle was eating) and reproducing very fast, did they actually threaten humans in some other way?

They are superhumanly intelligent, it is implied by their ability to fabricate realistic memories. Are they potentially even helpful by creating pleasant memories?

My friend is really into conspiracy theories, metaphysics, and alternate dimensions. What is a good episode to show her of Rick and Morty with those themes?

She believes in 9th dimensional cosmic entities, parallel universes, portals, all that stuff. I brought up that the show has a lot of examples of those, but what are some good episodes to show that?

Trying to find a episode.

Hi, I love Rick and Morty and just finished my 2nd re watch. A line Rick said has been stuck with me and I want to find the episode again to rewatch it. The line is “My God is the biggest asshole that’s never existed” or something along those lines, does anyone know what Episode this like is from ?

Am I Going Crazy

Guys- I keep seeing people mention gerbils and I just finished S7 (for the second time) and there weren’t gerbils. Did I accidentally skip an episode?! To make things worse - I watched it the first time under the influence and have a vague recollection of gerbils. Now that I’ve watched it sober I’m tripping out because there were no gerbils.

Please help. SOS.

Voice changes on all episodes

I might be tripping out, but it sounds like the voice of Rick is different in the versions of S1 I'm watching at the moment. I can't say what the source for the episodes is, cos it's not the original streaming site. Anyone know anything about this?

was rick a hippie?

In The episode Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort, Rick described his past self as a “idealistic hipster douche.” But later in the episode, Memory Rick got excited of the idea of having a war. Doesn’t that go against what hippies stood for?

where could the story go from here?

The end of season 7 wrapped up all the ongoing stories officially. Seasons 8 to 10 is just gonna be classic episodes, wrecking shit, portaling out, adventures, social commentary, crude characters and all that stuff.

Besides Memory Rick becoming real, both Poopy Buttholes and Churry coming back, and Magma-T & Ice Cube in Challenge of the Geomitrons (please no btw) all being future episodes there’s gonna be no story until the end of season 10. but….

I remember seeing a while ago unless i’m high that Dan Harmon said he wants to a R&M movie after Season 10 is over, then season 11.

That movie could wrap up all the unknown elements of the ongoing stories. you’ve got The possibility Rick meet another Diane before Prime used the omega device, Baby Morty (of whom Rick presumably meet 10 years before the pilot), Kyle (Rick's old partner) and Mr Nimbus.

I can see the plot being about Doofus Jerry getting yellow portal fluid, and then R & M & EM gotta stop him, also possibly tying Baby Morty & Kyle into the mix somehow, with it all being a big thing for R&M’s continued character development.

heck maybe they could even bring Prime into the plot. Yes i know EM fried all of his secondary bodies and then Rick beat him to death but… since he used backup bodies he probably didn’t have a operation phoenix set up just like c137, but after Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Repeat we know that doesn’t matter. Prime’s consciousness could have been inserted into any clone body across The CFC after ep5. maybe they could even bring back the og family to. I know those probably sound stupid but i’m sure if they really wanted to they could make it work. there’s so many ideas that they can do.

A question about froopyland

When/how did rick c137 build (a version of) froopyland? (If he ever did) Because he figured out teleportation after his wife and original daughter died.

The police responded to Jerry's call about Mr. Nimbus because he was white. What?

I get they were going for brief social commentary on racism and police misconduct, but the joke kind of fell flat. Asian-Americans don't have problems with the police, not anymore than white/European-Americans and not to the same level that black/African-Americans and non-white identifying Hispanic-Americans have. They could have tried a little harder with that bit.

Can we put the "We may have been following a different R&M in (x) episode(s)" ideas to rest?

For some reason I've been seeing this idea mentioned and float around a lot lately in the main sub and even here, so I wanted to give my opinion.

Unless it's explicitly ever said/shown otherwise in the show (for example, in Evil morty's backstory we are led to first think it's OUR R&M, but it was just a mislead. later it's shown in episode that was a different rick. Same with when Evil Morty shoots Rick in the head at the beginning of the first citadel episode. later it's shown in episode that was a different rick. Finally - the story train episode went out if its way to show that c137 wasn't the one on the train, just a sentient action figure version of him.) Point is if you don't see proof to the contrary IN-EPISODE, we are ALWAYS following Rick and Morty prime.

How do I know for sure, you may ask? It's really simple. Because if it wasn't the way I describe, it would be bad writing. And that's just not what Harmon does. It's bad writing because this show, is semi-serialized. It has continuity through an over-arching plot. (obviously) Those things make character development a necessity.

So if the show were to ever show us an entire episode following a different R&M and never explicitly state that, it just goes against everything Harmon stands for in his writing. I mean think about it - this is a guy who dedicated an entire episode of the most popular cartoon in América to simply jacking himself off about storytelling structure with story train.

"B-but what about Rick's development during season 6! When he was just a robot the whole time!" He was a robot for one fucking episode in knights of the sun, and for like 2 minutes in the ep after that before getting exposed. The 8 other episodes of character development for him were completely protected. Them doing it this way allowed Rick to grow but not be completely kind and compassionate like robo-Rick. So the writer's treaded and are still threading a really fine line where Rick is a better person but it also makes complete sense for him to still act like an asshole a lot.

theory: Kyle is Rick’s son and he went into the omega device with Diane.

after unmortricken, we’re able to get a mostly complete timeline of the whole backstory.

In the early 80s, Rick Prime goes around giving thousands of ricks portal tech until c-137 is the first to deny his offer, so he kills diane and beth. Over time more and more Ricks do the same, so there families are also murdered. These ricks will eventually end up in prime’s death trap, where he tricks them into killing each other to get diane back. sometime after, mostly likely after Beths were already adults, prime uses the omega device and kills all remaining Dianes.

Now let’s get to theory

In the 80s theses Ricks, including C-137, go live in alternate realities, we’re there counterparts took primes offer and abounded Diane and Beth. Ricks and Dianes then meet Mr Nimbus, and she gives birth to Kyle. By the early 2000s everything is seemingly normal, with C-137 and others even getting to meet Baby Morty. That’s until Rick Prime, realizing killing there Beths and Dianes wasn’t enough, omega devices Kyle and Diane. By 2013, C-137 crashes into Beth and Jerry’s backyard and season 1 starts. In the Prime Dimension where Morty is from, No Kyle could have been born, but in C-131 he likely was, which means that prime could have erased all Beths, Jerrys, Summers and Mortys memories of him existing.

If you feel bad about liking Rick and Morty, because of Justin, well don't

Maybe all of you know by now that Justin wasn't really apart of the how, don't get me wrong he voiced 2 of they main characters and a couple of others but he didn't write that many episodes. I think he only wrote about 6 episodes out of all the seasons. (I apologize if I'm wrong)

I watched this video (which basically explains the whole situation) and now I feel less bad, because Justin's actions are just bizarre

so in conclusion, if anyone is still whining about how 'Rick and Morty won't be the same' then you're quite wrong because Justin didn't even write half of the episodes in the show. And if you're one of those people crying over it just because of the voices then that's really sad

Why does Rick hate the citadel if he created it and vice versa?

I'm still a bit confused on (our) ricks relationship with the citadel. He created it but then decided to destroy it. The citadel called him a "rogue Rick" despite him being the creator and, assumably, knowing that he killed a shit ton of ricks before. If at most I would assume that they would just not try to mess with him

Morty didn’t hang up the phone cause healthy Morty loves his grandpa

I read a few posts and they all had different theories. But I think the real reason Morty didn’t hang up was because his healthy side loved his grandpa. And he was no longer with him.

The irony is that healthy Rich doesn’t. So it makes them the perfect pair when they’re both normal.

How could the central finite curve know if rick was the smartest being in his universe?

How could the central finite curve know if rick was the smartest being in his universe? is it because the smartest rick can create a portal gun? I dont thin kthats likely because dinosaurs created portals and even upgraded ricks gun.

How did all the ricks get a portal gun?

If Prime and c137 were the og creators then how did the rest get portal guns? Did the portal guns get distributed to all teh ricks? or after the omega device killed everyones diane, all the ricks created it after her death, And if so wouldnt that make prime and c137 not the og creators? cuz everyone found out a way to create it

Why did Rick prime kill all Dianes?

Why did he kill them all across all infinite universes? Did he just not want to see other ricks happy? And wouldnt killing all the Dianes make all the Ricks Smarter and make a higher chance that they will find out it was him?
