RICK AND MORTY SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 ENDING SERIES

CanвЂ™t ask for much more from a pilot.Д®ditorвЂ™s note: this feature originally ran in July 2017. Not as complex or as emotionally affecting as Rick and Morty managed later, but, hey, for the storyline it has, itвЂ™s well-plotted and, furthermore, itвЂ™s pretty funny.

But the main charm of the pilot is that it has a bit of a scrappier feel that allows for Roiland to adlib for lengthy periods and doesnвЂ™t mind expending a portion of the running time holding on a shot of Morty writhing in agony after breaking his legs.ДЄll in all, a simple, yet solid episode to start a series with. It was this sort of thing that initially turned some people away from the show and, especially as it grew more plot-heavy, it made sense to scale this stuff back. As Rick, he ends just about every sentence with вЂњMortyвЂќ and horrible belches interrupt his speech, like, a lot. ItвЂ™s got a lot more Justin Roiland adlibbing and stumbling over lines than the show would go on to have. Speaking of, a few of the seriesвЂ™ all-time best one-liners are in this too, like when Rick tells Morty the Gromflomites heвЂ™s shooting at are robots and then, after Morty shoots one and witnesses him clearly bleeding to death, Rick explains, вЂњItвЂ™s a figure of speech, Morty! TheyвЂ™re bureaucrats! I donвЂ™t respect them!вЂќДЄnd, of course, we also get the iconic вЂњRick and Morty forever, 100 yearsвЂќ ramble at the end, which is emblematic of what I enjoyed about rewatching this pilot. We get the showвЂ™s first ever (duh) chase sequence, featuring the amazing bit of animation where Morty accidentally inhales an alien drug and coughs up a humanoid creature that instantly ages through its entire life cycle and then dies. Summer doesnвЂ™t get too deeply fleshed out beyond вЂњteenage girl,вЂќ but we at least get a good feel for Beth and JerryвЂ™s dysfunctional union (honestly, their plot is kind of tiresome and based a lot around watching them bicker, which is a problem that plagues Beth and Jerry plots regularly).Д«ut, again, aside from establishing the showвЂ™s framework, the pilot is mostly a vehicle for fucked-up jokes and sci-fi sight gags. ItвЂ™s not exactly an integral series plotline Rick is generically ruining MortyвЂ™s life for his own gain (specifically he wants him to smuggle alien super seeds from another dimension up his butt), but the dynamic of their relationship is well-established and a lot of other groundwork is laid. The show got sappier only one episode later with вЂњLawnmower DogвЂќ and delved into the super-darkness starting with Episode 5, вЂњMeeseeks and Destroy,вЂќ so that this episode is simply a basic introduction to how madcap this shit could and would get works just fine.

However, watching this episode now, knowing all that follows it, I quite enjoyed the pilot. Rick and MortyвЂ™s pilot was dark, but not in any lasting way, and it was relatively anti-heart, ending with Rick ranting over a convulsing Morty.

My main issue was that Sprinkles had a lot of heart and also wasnвЂ™t afraid to get deeply, unsettlingly dark at times. Sprinkles had raised my expectations awfully high. When I first watched it back when it aired, it didnвЂ™t blow me away as much as IвЂ™d hoped it would, but then again Mr. Read more: Rick and Morty Characters We Want To See AgainДЄnd so, here we are at the pilot. In this way, IвЂ™ll have reviewed every Rick and Morty episode ever and, with a pedigree like that, I dare my parents to call me a failure ever again! (EDITORвЂ™S NOTE: I do not actually deserve any of this)ДЄnyhow, now he wants me to go back and review the first three episodes I didnвЂ™t get to the first time around in a retrospective sort of fashion.
