    The season 9 premier of #RickAndMorty, S9 E01 “There’s Something About Morty”, is a fantastic episode. But it sure has a different tone once you’ve seen the season finale and come to the inevitable conclusion quoted below.

    You have “Evil Morty” going full-Astroboy. You have Rick C-137 going full-Looney-Tunes. And you have Morty Prime catching Evil Morty red-handed and calling him out for it. You can’t help but share in the victory as Evil Morty is carted off to Time Prison, no matter how many times you watch this episode. At least until you’ve seen the season finale and come to the inevitable conclusion quoted below.

    But wait. Rewind a moment. What was it for, specifically, that Morty Prime caught Evil Morty red-handed? Emotional vulnerability. Trust in the veracity of the moment. Honesty.

    Okay sure. Evil Morty is still a slime-bag sporting a villain accessory. But what does that make Morty Prime?

    The weird thing about #RickAndMorty S9 E10, “Field of Dreams”, is that most of the episode is an anticipatory response to my specific reaction to Episode 8 outlined in the quoted post below—which is, of course, a well-documented and common pattern in #NarcissisticAbuse but not something you expect a TV show to pull off.

    Imagine that. A whole alternate universe to explore the life and times of a “basic Rick” who has dealt with his alcoholism, attends AA, turns his life around, becomes a professor at MIT, and finds love in a healthy relationship. But even with a whole multiverse worth of mind-poisoning, “basic Rick” never manages to get Morty Prime back to Rick C-137. The episode makes it look like Jerry’s fault that this “basic Rick” universe goes full-Estate-Sale. But let’s face it. It was the inevitable consequence of the real point of the episode, and recurring theme of the series: Morty-Prime’s underlying psychological complex.

    I’m not really sure what to call this pathological quest for a surrogate father, other than the Tom Sawyer Complex, maybe. Certainly that’s the name suggested by the episode description. Whatever you choose to call it, it’s more disturbing than either the Oedipus or the Electra complexes, albeit not by much; severe dysfunctions of the Syzygy (aka, the pairing of the anima and animus in Jungian psychology), all produce a similar full-body-emotional-revulsion when confronted head-on.

    But yeah. That’s the deal. Now we know. And we can’t deny it. Every Morty is Evil-Morty. Not because of a specific villain accessory or any overt plan to conquer the multiverse for purely selfish reasons, but because he’s sick and chooses to remain sick.

    God damn that’s fucked up.
