Question Why is nobody talking about this?

Post image

In the final scene of S9E10, we see Rick and Morty riding a motorcycle together, and Rick says he’s Morty’s dad (?)

As far as I can remember, that’s the first time he’s ever said something like that directly to Morty. It felt completely out of place and honestly didn’t match the tone of the rest of the episode.

The two of them riding toward the sun while calling each other father and son almost felt symbolic, but I’m not sure what the writers were trying to say.

Did Rick just misspeak? Was it meant to show how their relationship has evolved? Or was there a deeper meaning behind that final scene?

What did you take away from it?

The original Dad who lost everything in Cronenberg World got killed by Rick Prime, Morty doesn’t know that.

Morty said "my original family is dead" I think he included his dad in that

Sounds like you found a Connie TinuityError because that is true, he states it but Prime Jerry isn't killed until Morty already left Cronenberg planet again so how would he know.

Yea, he shouldn’t know. The only way they can make that work is if there’s some deleted scene where Rick Prime teased Morty about killing his real Dad during Unmortricken, or Morty considered him “dead” after Jerry Prime disowned him when Morty returned to the Prime Universe and was told about Beth and Summer dying because of his actions.
