Rick: A Mort Well Lived

The snappy, high-intensity dialogue of the first seasons is long gone, replaced by over-explaining everything and repeating the same joke over and over.

I do like the concept of the Roy subplot. It's creative and inventive, but execution is lacking. It gets too sentimental at times - it would be good if the writers weighed up the softer pieces with the more brutal humour that Rick and Morty is known for.

In the end, both the overall plot and the Roy subplot is painfully predictable and generic.

Some people wanted more Rick and Morty and they wanted it now. Unfortunately, the result is that the episodes are just not that special anymore.

In fact, they have been perfectly mediocre adult-cartoons.

A really cool sci-fi concept with good action and comedy! I loved the simulation concept and how it furthered the relationship between Rick and Morty. I don't know how they keep coming up with these concepts! I also loved the B plot with Summer and the Die Hard stuff was hilarious. The only thing holding this episode back is some of the jokes, some of them felt forced but that's okay because the jokes that were funny were REALLY funny and reminded me of old seasons of Rick and Morty. The pacing was good, the animation was great, and the dialogue between Rick and Morty was emotional and gave us a lot more insight on how Morty feels about Rick and the other way around. Overall this is just another good episode from the Rick and Morty team and I'm super excited to see where they take it from here. Good job to the team and I'm looking forward to where they take the season in the future!

Rick A Mort Well Lived is nothing that special in comparison to the episodes that came before it. I found it pretty boring throughout its run, especially the entire Die Hard subplot. It was sort of funny at first, but the joke gets old quick when you realize that's the entire subplot. The main plot with Roy was interesting at first, but didn't maintain its neat concept for long. I feel that there was a lot of story potential for a return to Roy, but it didn't work super well here. This episode was a large step down from last week's premiere and hopefully the next episode is better in terms of its premise and execution.

My biggest gripe with the show over the past few seasons is that they almost always try to fit two storylines in a single episode and often have them tie in together at the end. That is very hard to do well in a 23 minute runtime. Both of the stories in this episode had potential (ESPECIALLY the 5 billion Mortys concept) but it felt rushed and barely developed since they kept cutting back to Summer.

Also, I don't know to put this into words very well but the spacing/timing of jokes and punchlines feels...off? Characters respond too quickly without letting a setup develop is the best way I could describe it.

Overall, this show is still entertaining but a fraction of what it was in seasons 1 and 2.

This show is filled with references, especially this season. Without exaggerating i can say that from every 10 scenes there's at least 6 that reference other works and that amazing.

I kinda get why some people didn't seem to find this episode as enjoyable as the others, but it was decent. I didn't watch die hard and maybe that is why I liked it, some of you who did watch die hard

The concept of a collective as humankind and a global consciousness is really interesting. Which by the way It's not a religion :D.

I kinda have this crazy theory about evil morty and the game they were playing but i wont share here as this is a no spoilers review. But i guess anyone who saw the episode felt the same way as me.
