ok but rick prime was conceptually a genious move by the writers, i think. i know jack shit abouy writing but hear me out
our s6 C-137 rick is not the same as season 1 or s2 rick, he has matured, regressed, getting softer, angrier, older. it has been a commom complain by the dudebros that rick is not that badass emotionless characters that he was before, because in the latest seasons the writers are trying to explore how miserable and lonely the smartest man in the universe really is. he's not a god anymore, hes a pretty fucking sad dude that tries desperately to stay in control, and that has been getting on some fans nerves, apparently
some people really miss nihilistic asshole rick. but instead of regressing his character, they decided to create prime rick.
prime rick is everything C-137 tried to be. he's funny, unhinged, heartless, brutal, and the list goes on and on. he's what we thought season 1 rick was. and i think thats genious because now not only we can explore this new contrast between two ricks, but also is a huge opportunity for more badass cool fights
at the same time that we can keep developing c-137 rick as a character, we can also have a heartless, god-like amazing (prime) rick that was what we had in season 1 and 2. it's a nice throwback, especially because so far this season seems so much similar to the first seasons, except now our perception of the smith family has changed drastically. and now that we got this far, we can finally see them by old lights
it both pleases the character bunnies such as me but also brings in renewed philosophical tropes to the nihilistic tone enjoyers that also made a huge part of the fanbase. the dudebros can have their rick back
in season 4 and 5 the writers seemed confused with what they wanted to do with our beloved rick and morty - are they regressing or evolving? are they serialized? are they episodic? - and while i think s5 suffered more with pacing issues due to this indecision, i think they finally got the tone right. this season is so promising!! we only have 2 episodes so far (another one tonight) but i already have the urge to re-watch them, such a thing i didn't have every since season 3
not to mention an "evil rick" being our next villain right after "evil morty" is so damn cool, especially because prime rick is evil because he doesn't gives a damn, while evil morty is evil because he grew up in a system that does not give a damn. evil morty wasn’t the real evil, he was a product of it. and now we are facing the true evil himself, and i cant wait!!
so, overall. good play on the contrast, rick and morty writers, yall rock.
(also, at the same time they obligy our rick to confront his worst, "regressed" version, we also have our morty confronting his regressing version too, hence the second episode A Mort Well Lived. something tells me they are going to really deep dive into their development this season)
((they really seems to be making this parallels to season 1 and 2, ANOTHER EXAMPLE BEING THE WHOLE FAMILY BURING THEIR BODIES IN THE BACKYARD LIKE THAT SCENE WAS SO COOL I LOVE THEIR FOUND FAMILY SO MUCH WHAT IS THIS))

I'd love to see this come to the real world movie scene! I'd want Peter Jackson to co-write it with R.A. Salvatore and direct it

After a long time of being completely dissociated and disillusioned with the world and my future, I'm sat in the park, opposite my new home in London, watching the people and the dogs, taking in the sun and feeling the breeze roll over the back of my neck. I'm finally feeling a little hopeful, it feels like I'm seeing/feeling what's important, seeing people for what they are, watching them have fun, and peacefully enjoy the sun. I feel a bit lonely, by myself, but I'm okay with that. The sun, my coffee, my book and the strangers walking past can keep my company. It's so peaceful..
