LividLiquid posted:There are infinite worlds. There aren't infinite worlds with Ricks and Morties, is how I interpret it. Not to go far down this rabbit hole, but if there's infinite worlds then there are infinite worlds with Ricks and Morties and infinite worlds without Ricks and Morties. That's what "infinite" means. (I feel like I should be doing this post like Rick's speech patterns). The "central finite curve" can mean a lot of things but what it comes down to is it's the reason that a random Rick has a three digit dimension code instead of a quintillion digit long code. It's the reason that the galaxy isn't packed end to end with degenerate Morty matter. It's the reason why there can be a one "Rent is Too drat High Rick" instead of an entire planet of them. And those examples are scaled down in a way so that your brain can wrap itself around them. When you start dealing with infinites things get crazy fast. It's better to just accept the premise given to you than start trying to make Rick and Morty fit into that.

There are infinite universes with Ricks but also infinite universes without Ricks. But that second infinity is still a bigger infinity. Think about infinite trees. How many trees? Infinity How many leaves on those trees? Infinity Are there more trees or leaves? Leaves

Captain Splendid posted:There are infinite universes with Ricks but also infinite universes without Ricks. But that second infinity is still a bigger infinity. Yep this right here is the concept of cardinality There's infinite integers and infinite real numbers but for every single integer there are infinite reals, so even though infinite is infinite, there's more reals than integers. And you have to imagine that other ricks blow up their worlds and move to others too, not just C-137. So he can only go so far until he runs into another universe that another Rick has already "used". So there's a concept of a localized pocket of dimensions within the greater whole of infinity dimensions.

Anyone else get a Richard Dawkins vibe from Reverse Rick Outrage? I also enjoyed that the news team are all (presumably) progressively shittier clones of the same Rick. This season is killing it.

I told her it looked like she was just making them up on the spot. There were lots of squiggly lines, but they weren't greek letters or anything recognizable like that. And now I'm looking for examples online and I can't find any so...maybe she really was making them up...!

Concatenation posted:Anyone else get a Richard Dawkins vibe from Reverse Rick Outrage? I took it more like "these are all the same rick, but each of them were injured / scarred differently from the same incident. So three different offshoots of same universe, three different ricks. Incidentally, this may mean that C-137 is both the Cronenberg'd universe and the one Rick and Morty took over for their dead counterparts. I haven't seen the ep. in a while but the implication was it was the same except Dead Rick solved the whole virus thing in time. Probably overthinking it but thinking about it is fun!

Yeah, this episode was really cool. The idea of the citadel and infinite copies of the same two or so people living on it is a great Sci-Fi concept. But yeah, I agree with C137 Rick. It's not something they should keep going back to. To me, the show is about The Smith family falling apart because Beth and Jerry ultimately despise each other and do a really good job of hiding it and Rick is the most toxic person in the multiverse. The citadel would need to be it's own complete show and Rick and Morty needs Beth, Summer and Jerry at this point.

Holy hell  Just got back to work to echo that this is easily the best episode of the season, even with the highs like Pickle Rick or Whirly Dirly. I guess this is where they spent all the time that they didn't on the Vindicators episode, and I gotta say it was worth it.

Season 2!" etc. He does it all the time. It's a common trait of Dan Harmon shows, and Rick and Morty is even more explicit about it than Community was.

ashpanash posted:"Ohhh, we'll be right back, ladies and gentlemen." No, I know he does it all the time. That's not in question. I went back and watched it again. I was wondering what, specifically, about this time made you guys think that he wasn't saying that he had done this before. I'm wrong, but it's not 'because they do that all the time' but specifically because Rick does not in fact indicate that he had done it before. He says 'they can't just do this every week, we only get 3 or 4 more of these, tops'. That in no way indicates that he's done it before, thus I was incorrect. Thus, I was wrong, and also you are all wrong about why I was wrong, thus we are all wrong together. Now we're aaaaaall accountable.

Ps the moral of this episode is the best Rick rejects the idea of the Citadel, which is a dystopian city of various himselfs, and goes on cool adventures with the best Morty, and if you concentrate on poo poo that doesn't really matter to those two (who are best) you miss out on some mer-puss Now let's get this all out of the way and move on the to item fifty-nine in tonight's agenda, which concerns timelines in Legend of Zelda

The show creators have said multiple times not to think about it too hard and how they don't want to go up their own rear end with super complex continuity. That's why people are telling you this. I mean, if you really, really want to you can figure out the intricate canon which accurately describes everything you're seeing, but keep in mind that the show's writers aren't even trying to adhere to it, in which case, what's the point?

"You want to reign in your Morty?" That line at the beginning really stuck with me. I think it's interesting that our Morty is becoming more and more of an outlier on the Morty scale.

jaete posted:I liked that in the election there are like five Ricks and only one Morty. So that makes it much easier for Morty to win, since Rick voters will end up dividing their vote. Like Trump in the Republican primaries Yeah, my first thought was that Morty would win in a landslide and then my second thought was "do Mortys get a vote?"

That's why people are telling you this. They don't want to, yet they do. No way evil morty and the citadel doesn't come back to haunt rick, him saying that they'd never have any effect on them ever again was pretty obviously foreshadowing. I think one of the genius parts of this show is that they do such a good job of not giving a gently caress while actually giving a whole bunch of fucks actually, because for something with such a disdain for continuity it's actually got really good continuity. Hell yeah I want to sit around and puzzle over dumb little aspects of a science fiction cartoon, if you don't see the point in that then I'm not really sure how you wound up reading or posting in a thread about it in the first place.

No way evil morty and the citadel doesn't come back to haunt rick, him saying that they'd never have any effect on them ever again was pretty obviously foreshadowing. Remember that they seemingly put Rick in a really deep hole in the cliffhanger last season, but Rick was easily able to overcome it, to the point where it questionable whether he planned the whole thing that way. Because remember, Rick is a demon, or super-hosed-up god. He can do anything. It doesn't matter what Evil Morty's plans are, Rick will either beat him, ignore him, or just plain bail. Any of those would be interesting and I'm sure amusing as hell. But I would expect this show to continue to build up expectations only to undercut them, rather than make some showdown between Rick and Evil Morty the centerpiece of any legitimate story arc.

I'm gonna go watch the episode again, I guess. Like I said, there are infinite worlds with Rick and Mortys. But there is not infinite time to explore them all. Most likely each Rick ends up developing portal technology and coming across other Ricks, and over time you get a spiderweb of known Rick-having worlds. I-i-i-it's not that complicated guys.
