Rick and Morty's big season 8 change explained.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The twist that made Rick and Morty’s season 7 finale the show’s highest-rated episode in 4 years is the same thing that will allow season 8 to redefine the show’s status quo. Rick and Morty is one of the most anarchic and inspired shows on television, so it is somewhat strange to suggest that the series has a surprisingly rigid formula underlying all its chaos.
With an IMDb rating of 9.4, “Fear No Mort” is the highest-rated episode of Rick and Morty in 4 years. Unlike season 7’s earlier standout, episode 5 “Unmortricken,” “Fear No Mort” didn’t need to make major changes to the show’s canon to create an impact. Instead, the episode relied on Morty’s surprisingly poignant journey through his own mind.
Rick Prime was first introduced in the season 5 finale and became the show’s main villain in the season 6 premiere, but season 7 took Rick’s obsession with vengeance to new heights. Season 8 could take this same level of character focus and apply it to Morty now that Rick’s main storyline has reached a natural conclusion.
Compared to “Fear No Mort” or “Unmortricken,” “Rise of the Numbericons The Movie” felt extremely lightweight. As an introduction to Morty’s solo adventures, the outing seemed to prove that Morty was too insubstantial a character to carry a story alone. Even though Rick and Morty’s funny episodes with the President prove not all of Rick’s storylines are meaningful or moving, Morty’s potential as a main character seemed limited by his passivity in “Rise of the Numbericons The Movie.
