Adventure With the Avengers Knock-offs: The Vindicators Even when he’s only inches tall, Rick is somehow still able to blow them all up. When he does make it back to the surface world, he busts right out of a toilet and then has to deal with generic-looking armed agents. That “really basic ingenuity” involves Rick fending off an army of wild rats by setting traps and building some mecha armor out of trash and rat body parts. He’s just on Earth, a few hundred feet from the house … so he has to figure out how to get himself out of that with really basic ingenuity. He can’t reach into his lab coat and pull out his portal gun or any of his other infinite inventions he has hidden in there, and yet he’s in the most mundane of circumstances. And he doesn’t have the same resources that he usually has access to. Rick and Morty writer Ryan Ridley described the episode with the following: He turns himself into a pickle, and then he sort of gets trapped, and he ends up involved in a situation … One twist leads to another, and he’s totally screwed. The story’s been called a survivalist tale akin to 127 Hours, and in it, Rick will somehow become a pickle and struggle to survive without his usual arsenal of resources. Based on the color, it’s possible that this is the same type of bright-green rock that powers Rick’s Portal Gun, but that’s purely conjecture.Įventually, Rick and Morty learn to play nice and actually share a meal with the raiders.Įpisode 3 is supposedly slated to be the infamous Pickle Rick episode, which has been teased as far back as San Diego Comic-Con 2016 with an exclusive rough cut animation. It seems like Rick steals a large green crystal from the raiders, which leads to an extended chase sequence.Ĭhances are, this is the titular “Stone” referenced in the episode’s title. The Season 3 trailer that debuted June 29 showed a lot of footage from this episode already. There are tons of grungy vehicles, mohawks, BDSM outfits, and even a sawed-off, double-barrel shotgun that Summer uses to mercy-kill somebody. But in the above Design Sneak Peak video, co-creator Dan Harmon confirms that Episode 2 is also the previously teased Mad Max-style episode that’s set in “a diesel-powered vehicular field of death and nihilism.” We’ve long known that Season 3, Episode 2 would be titled “Rickmancing the Stone” and at least vaguely reference Romancing the Stone (1984), which is already an Indiana Jones knock-off. “Rickmancing the Stone,” aka The Mad Max Episode Morty too, then, being the daughter of that Beth, isn't directly related to the primary version of Rick, but essentially adopted from a universe into which the main Rick presumably traveled to spend time with a version of his daughter in the wake of what we now know was her death.1. That said, memory Rick revealing that the version of Beth he fathered is dead implies that even the Beth that Rick lived with during the series pilot wasn't his biological daughter but a multiverse variant. In fact, the Rick and Morty introduced in the series pilot eventually move to a parallel universe immediately after the death of its version of Rick and Morty, effectively replacing them and living with alternate universe versions of everyone they once knew in their home universe from then on. Variants of Rick and Morty from throughout the show's multiverse are something of a "Rick and Morty" staple. In a discussion thread about the episode on Reddit, user u/Wommby pointed out that this line has potentially major implications, in that it reveals that the version of Rick most often featured in the show isn't directly related to its main version of Morty.
