Judging by Rick and Morty season 7, episode 1, Justin Roiland's departure might be the best thing that could have happened to the show.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Since Rick and Morty season 7 already needed to upend the show’s tired formula, Justin Roiland’s exit is starting to look like the best thing that could have happened to the series. When Rick and Morty debuted, the show was an instant sleeper hit.

That became the least of its worries when Rick and Morty season 7 was jeopardized by revelations about its star Justin Roiland. He was accused of domestic battery in January 2023, prompting Adult Swim to sever ties with the actor. Thus, Rick and Morty season 7’s creators needed to replace the voices of both the show’s title characters while also addressing complaints about its lackluster sixth season.

By picking up right where season 6’s stinger left off, the cold open of “How Poopy Got His Poop Back” tacitly acknowledged that the show wouldn’t get away with rehashing this familiar formula again. The show proved that its creators had listened to criticism of season 6 as Mr. Poopybutthole’s grim, repetitive storyline was finally addressed and eventually solved by the show’s main characters.

In “How Poopy Got His Poop Back,” Rick and Morty season 7 showed that its creators were up to these intersecting challenges. The return of characters like Birdperson and Mr. Poopybutthole was pivotal to the episode’s story, thus ensuring their presence didn’t feel like pandering, and Rick’s attempts to be a good friend without admitting he was being responsible felt both hilariously in character and indicative of his growth.
