He’s supposed to be the smartest person in the universe. The rub is that the writers aren’t as smart as they want him to be, so that leads to them writing his enemies to be dumber than how smart they can write him, to preserve his in-universe superior intelligence.
He can make anything out of anything. He has cybernetic implants that can do anything the plot needs.
I actually like the show (a social crime in 2026) but being an overpowered, plot armored, walking deus ex machina is his gimmick.
Yes, but my point is that his hyper-intelligence is to a point something we just have to believe in since he is being written by people who aren’t hyper-intelligent themselves.
Its also a plot point in (after the recast) that he did this to himself. Evil Morty’s goal was to escape the cluster of multi-verses that Rick curated where he was the smartest person in that universe. I like the newer plot driven episodes, but writing this im noticing that while I like the show as its airing, I have never really rewatched it…
hes basically a god in his part of the multiverse(finite curve), up until he met the “god-dinosaurs”. assuming the show is going to explore universes outside the curve, htere might be other beings that are equivalent to his. the only thing he couldnt do is resurrect his wife.

Isn’t that part of the plot though? He’s super depressed and part of it is because everyone else is so goddamn stupid

The intelligence to curate universes to ensure you’re the smartest person in them is like some sort of self sustaining Gary Stu feedback loop.

A social Crime ? I get it but I love Rick and Morty and I miss Roiland doing stuff. I’m so tired of the hiperconsequencialism …
