The premiere of Rick and Morti Season 8 is a dark, perverted affair, and at first it seems to be Rick's fault. In the past seasons, Rick has made a chaos forgetting to mark all the dangerous things in his garage, but this time he ruined things by falling asleep at the wrong moment. It is a shame, because his plan to discipline his grandchildren-excluding them in a matrix simulation, designed to teach them not to steal a rick-on phone being a pretty decent parenting with Rick and Morti standards. Unfortunately, he fell asleep and accidentally left them for 17 years there within hours.

However, similar situations have already happened on the show. In Season 2, Morti spends his whole life in the game VR Roy, and it is frightening when he wakes up and realizing the past 50 years of his life has never happened. In Season 6, Morti plays Roy again, but this time The defects of the game and his consciousness are broken through the whole digital society of the game. Once again, a few decades of life on Morti have been flying here, but "Rick: Well lived" is happy to brush the implications of this aside.

Meanwhile, the "summer of all fears" of season 8 is diving into the question of how these experiences would affect someone. When Morti and the summer wake up from their 17-year paragraph in the matrix, they changed and grew. Summer has the mind of a confident, educated, semi-rendered woman in the mid-30s, and Morti has a veteran veteran's mind.

But their time in the matrix was even darker than it first appeared: not only did Morti pushing to kill himself over and over in war against Osama bin Chargen, but it turns out that this war was shameful orchestrated by the summer. Summer knew how much mental damage she caused her brother, but that never prevented her from putting it through it anyway.

Was the summer okay because he bothered his brother for years at the end? Well, yes. But to be fair, she did it for good reason. She believed that this produced war was the only way for her and Morti to escape the matrix, and for everything we know, she was correct. We have no idea how long Rick would sleep and we know that one hour in real life is equal to several years within the simulation. Rick Probably I would live long enough to get the children out of there before they dry up in a difficult age, but summer there was no way to know it for sure.

But unpacking the ethics of summer procedures are second to unpack the implications for its future. Summer was ruthless in this episode, channeling her inner rick much more than we've ever seen this version of Morti. It is the nail polish that asks the question: We have already handled the evil Morti and the evil rickBut what about the evil summer? Where is she in the multivision on this show?

By the end of this episode, the summer had its memory of adulthood deleted and returned to normal. But even though she doesn't remember what happened, We Still done. We have seen what it is capable of, so for the more the other flights are? The show has been found to have endless realities there, so what about the reality where summer did not erase her mind at her end? How exactly does that reality play?

Evil summer is such an attractive concept, because her presence in the show has always been understated. Rick and Morti occupy the main focus, so most of the summer defined moments occur in a B-talk or occasional episode of the spotlight. Whenever summer gets her chance to shine, it almost immediately proves to be both competent and relentless. She manages to Outside- "Die" is fanatical in "Rick: Mort And it effectively leads the whole planet of hunters in the Golden Age in "Promotortius". She is someone who canIf she wanted, it caused huge problems for the whole world around her. So why didn't the show give her a chance?

Guests of the wicked summer theory are further obvious hints about that sprinkled in the series. There were "Night Family" in Season 6that revealed that summer has a deep resentment to Rick in her subconscious. Then there are that promo for Season 7, Where in the summer raises the idea of ​​"Citadela in the Summer" where she calls (a) the summer battalion to destroy the Inter -Galactic Patriarchate. " That it's actually TV gold.

But the main reason why evil summer remains such an attractive idea is because it just looks fun. Even in this premiere of Season 8, the summer in the diabolic site brings us pleasant to see it. Similar to how Rick was more fun when he was a careless drunken Jerk in season 1, summer is more fun when Allowed is allowed to leave his morality aside and go full wicked. The first episode of Season 8 gives us a slight taste of how attractive evil summer bow can be and we hope to get the whole meal until the finals of Season 8.
