    The theory I've seen floating around a lot is that Beth only survives if her Rick abandons her. If he puts family above science he loses his family. Ironically, the most loving thing a Rick can do for his daughter IS abandon her. ACTUALLY loving his family leads to their deaths. No wonder he's so afraid to show emotional attachment...

    "he was literally about to give up science for his real wife n daughter" We don't know that, that was part of the "fake" backstory in season 3 Without dialogue, we don't know how much detail Rick changed, note that in the real backstory, C-137 appears to show animosity towards the other Rick, they look to be arguing, but if you go to the scene in the brainalyzer, he is calm and serene

    Because of this backstory my opinion of Rick has greatly changed. Rick, despite being an all powerful bad ass, was little more than a selfish prick. The finale of season 4 where Rick was watching his own memory to discover who his real daughter was, only to realize that he doesn't even know. His conclusion of himself perfectly sums up how I felt about him all this time: "Holy shit, I'm a terrible father". Rick is the smartest man in the (known) multiverse. Unsurpassed in intellect, balls, and power. But at the end of the day he's still a piece of shit, deadbeat dad- UNTIL we see who he truly is in this finale. This revelation explains so much about Rick's personality, his attitude towards each member of the family, and overall why he does what he does. I now sympathize and have grown to truly respect him as a human being.

    Think about it. That Rick who took (at the time) "Good Rick's" family is the catalyst for all of this destruction. They no doubt hate him more than C-137, ergo, themselves. C-137 was the hero and the Rick other Rick's aspired to be. Further proof is the sadness the one Rick who rebelled had for "Simple Rick" and his anger at Simple Rick's death via portal gun. This Rick (C-137) does have a genuine desire to be good and do the right thing but is so damaged, broken, and desensitized.

It explains why the portals still aren’t working or why c137 is the most dangerous, he was the only one beside Rick prime to reach his full potential. It also explains why we are so many ricks do 9-5 jobs at the citadel since they never developed the tech for themselves

    The all multiverse of Ricks and Mortys is a well of sadness, all those Ricks and Mortys being the tools of other tools, some believing in a false cause, some just being the victims from those tools when they come to their universe just to kill them / kidnap them. We don't even know which was the first Ricks to start the citadel, it was already a thing way back before C-137. Rick Prime doesn't even seem to care of the Citadel since he's gone rogue too. Everytime a Rick or a Morty dies I think on the fact that all their adventures lead to this collateral death, end of the story for them. How much different were they to the ones we are following ? Just enough to be crushed, it's sad, there's no point, and somehow, it does to me. When does it become so casual to kill an alternate version of yourself ? I suppose that a chroenenberg version wouldn't be too hard, but a version that is so slightly different that it is you, period. Over and over, you kill them, it doesn't matter to you, no surprise to see Rick being so cold, and he brings Morty into it, at a tragic point where, somewhere, A morty was as much done with the value of life to turn his self evil. Yeah, depressing.

    Honestly, the theme here actually kind of transcends the sci-fi genre R&M parodies, sort of stepping into bigger shoes for a moment and graduating to full-blown cosmic existentialism. The track that's playing gives a palpable flavor: long, echoing drones often indicate monumentality in music, symbolizing the vastness of space and the constructs our characters are grappling with, along with the lonely thrumming synths to represent Rick's robotic directive for answers, despair, and just being lost. It all fits, and I think this is the point where the story is going to turn around. I think it's where we're gonna start to see Rick's breaking point. His true limits. That's some good human music.

    So let me see if I got this: Rick Prime went around recruiting Ricks with the promise of them being the best in the multiverse and giving them portal technology. So he's the one who manufactured the idea of the Central Finite Curve and every Rick within it is essentially stuck in there since they don't have the ability to create their own portal fluid or any knowledge of how it works. My assumption is that Rick Prime wanted to make his version of a citadel or government and take over the multiverse until only Rick's were left. A non-stop party where the only person invited is the only person they like. Then there's Rick-C137. The only one that passed on Rick Prime's invitation. Rick Prime then kills the reason behind Rick-C137's refusal: his family. With nothing left to lose, Rick-C137 creates his own portal gun and tries tracks down Rick Prime, only to fail. The Ricks within the Curve find out about C-137's killings and decide to join forces to eliminate him, but C-137 obliterates them with a bored expression. The Ricks then reach a truce with C-137 and develop Rick Prime's original idea of a citadel/government, to which C-137 eventually leaves the project. He then drunkenly crashes into Rick Prime's Smith family house and encounters Rick Prime's Beth. Be it guilt or whatever, Rick C-137 stays and becomes a part of the family. And from there, the Rick and Morty story begins. I assumed a lot and borrowed some aspects (like the "other Ricks can't create their own fluid" theory) from other commenters but I think this makes the most sense.

Instead of having to give up her family to live her best life on her own, she can live either way simultaneously by having a clone of herself. Though, now we know Rick chose to be with his family. Maybe it was an act of kindness: living both lives like Rick did, only without the tragedy, heartbreak, and leaving/having you family taken away in an instant.

Being the "Father who abandoned Beth" (quotations because his real family died) and he lives his life taking the responsibility of a life he never even choose to be in. Which makes the scene where him and mordy move into another family and him seem unaffected give a much more deeper meaning to it when you think about it.

    @@user-xx6vy9ri8p Because our Rick went to Rick Prime's dimension hoping that Rick Prime would eventually return so that he could get his revenge. But he never did. In "Solaricks", when our Rick went into the wormhole, "Diane" told him that Rick Prime was likely trapped in his original dimension just like everyone else was. When he realized that, he went straight to that dimension. The fact that where he went is the same dimension that Morty ended up in (his original dimension, which got Cronenberg'd in "Rick Potion #9"), paired with the fact that Rick Prime was there as well, outright proves that the Cronenberg'd dimension was Rick Prime's original dimension all along, and that our Morty is Rick Prime's grandson.

    Maybe Rick had visited several realities including one where Morty was still a baby. Maybe Rick intended to bail on this reality like the other's but seeing a baby Morty so close to his daughter's age when she died reawakened something in Rick and kept him coming back. For Rick this was a second chance to be a father again. So he kept coming back visiting him in secret watching him grow up and slowly he became attatched. It explains why he cares about Morty despite finding his attatchment irrational.

    the story: rick, probably in his mid to late 20's, was on the verge of discovering interdimensional travel, but after being shown a version of him that succeeds, decides he doesn't want to become that kind of person. the rick that greeted him is offended by one of his own rejecting the portal gun and so retaliates by killing ricks wife and daughter. the trauma of this incident sends rick into a spiral of depression and self imposed isolation. after anywhere from several months to a few years he resolves to complete his portal gun project and hunt down the rick that murdered his family. after some time exploring the multiverse and learning about many different universes, he meets a guy who tells him about a criminal arms syndicate that sells memory crystals. he offers to trade an expensive rifle for one, but knowing the criminals aren't just going to give a memory crystal away that easily, plants a trap that kills the dealers before they can shoot him. he uses the memory crystal to print off a photo of the rick who murdered his family. he then spends several years searching for this rick, to no success. by now he is in his mid thirties. he eventually gets wrapped up in wars involving the galactic federation, during which time he meets bird person along with many of his other closest friends. once the federation is defeated, he asks bird person to come with him on his adventures, but he declines. rick then travels to a future version of his own life where he picks up a trail that puts him back on his original quest. He spends the next several decades travelling from universe to universe murdering any rick that stands in his way in search of the one who killed his family, continually meeting dead ends. this is where he begins to build up a reputation among the rest of the ricks. he picks up another clue centring around a special symbol with a large number of ricks tied to it. he spends several years systematically assasinating each one. finally he reaches the end of the trail, meeting a rick that looks suspiciously like the one who he's looking for, but unfortunately isn't. just before this rick dies he destroys all evidence that could keep the search going. at this point rick, now an old man, looses all hope. he returns to his own dimension to live the rest of his short life in pain, but is constantly bothered by other ricks trying to assassinate him, as a full political movement against him has built up among the ricks. rick emotionlessly slaughters the entire group, and the rest of the rick population chooses to swear fealty to him. he and four others team up to create a citidel for all the ricks to live in harmony, but rick is unconvinced by the idea. once construction is complete, he chooses a new family in a new dimension where their rick is long gone, and reintegrates back into the life he never got to have, introducing morty to the portal gun, and finally achieving happiness for the first time in his life, permanently scarred by the decades that preceded it.

That Rick had been shown to have been around and loving to his family/Morty. It's extremely possible that Birdperson remembers the Rick from before our Rick took over his life, who seemed close and may have been there for Morty's birth somehow. It would also explain how Morty was confused, because he's not the original, either, the original is buried outside in the backyard.

    As someone who used nihilism and cynicism as a cover for depression and anxiety for years, I can at least personally vouch for this. Its a lot easier to think of the world as terrible and irredeemable when you think of yourself in the same light. Its also especially insidious because cynicism and nihilism can look like "wisdom" because people think that happiness and optimism is a sign of childishness and immaturity.

    I think it makes the conversation he had with bird person hit even harder. Bird person's people experienced genocide at the hands of the galactic federation, when he fought them for years and finally won on blood ridge, it meant something. Well, it's more like it meant everything.There was catharsis there. Rick never got that, he was never able to find the guy that was responsible for his personal tragedy, and after so much time wasted and his entire life spent chasing a phantom his coping mechanism was that it all didn't matter (And it's also reality which he didn't choose to be exposed to, that he's just one Rick, and there are infinite Ricks). When he shares his secret with Bird Person, the feeling of loneliness kicks in again because truly NO ONE could understand what it's like to be a Rick (And they refuse to choose to, because who would choose that?! It's miserable), let along this specific Rick. Bird Person wants things to matter, he wants meaning; Rick, ironically also wants that but it's impossible to achieve for him because he's aware that he's not exactly special and there are infinite versions of him. To top that off, the one thing that could have given him "meaning", finding his wife's killer, seems to be anything but attainable. He's chasing a phantom across infinity, it's tiresome, and no one wants to share that with him.

All the Citadel Ricks never learned how to make the portal juice, it was kept as a secret to the high elites, given to them. But C-137 perfected it himself, no help, and he made that portal gun with his own hands instead of buying it or having it given to him.

    If anyone is wondering why our Rick is so much better than other Ricks at basically everything it's because that thing he used to scan the phoneman with was apparently an early version of the brain scanner Evil Morty used in this episode and our Rick used it to absorb the scientific knowledge of hundreds or even thousands of advanced alien species throughout his journey for revenge against Rick Prime

    Another thing we know now is that he simply cut himself off from any universe he wasn't the smartest, which is why Rick comes across as so stupid so often out of universe: Because we're not one of his universes. But in his part of the multiverse, he's not just arrogant, he's quantifiably right.

    This shows how rare and special our Rick is. Just like Simple Rick was treated like a delicacy, our Rick also chose Family over Science. He just didn’t get the chance to live it out. The music with this story tells it beautifully. Amazing finale

    You know something? You only start seeing the drool in the backstory when he's just given up on life. No hope of getting payback, no family to go back to, no nothing. Then when he's showing Morty the Portal Gun, it's gone. It really does sell the fact that Morty's one of the few things he has left to live for.

    feels like the problem with understanding the show is that alot of polar opposites happen but don't affect certain parts of the show.. like Rick acting like he doesn't give a fuck when he still does.. it's all part of his complex backstory but it makes sense. just like when he gave up on finding the killer it changed him entirely but that still didn't stop him from becoming the rickest Rick.. I feel like everything he was and went thru makes him the rickest Rick. feels like he always was is and will be the rickest rick..

    1:03 I think this version of Rick lives in a universe where he is not the smartest one in the universe, on the other side of the central finite curve. Whether he knew it or not, once the curve was constructed, Rick could never find the Evil Rick that killed his family. Even though the curve is gone, so we may very well end up meeting him. It’s also interesting to note how different his portal gun looks.
