Film Theory: We SOLVED Rick and Morty Season 4 Episode 1!

Special thanks to Audible for sponsoring this episode!  

The Rick and Morty is back! The season premiere, "Edge of ToMorty: Rick Die Rickpeat", left me with so many theory ideas and I couldn't wait! This episode showed us a side of Rick and Morty we haven't seen before and I LOVED it! In fact, I think that there was a life lesson hidden somewhere in all the jokes and violence. What was that lesson? What did Rick mean at the end of the episode? I'm here to explain it all to you!

So glad to see so many of you liked this more "laid back" style. It helped us get the episode out same week, rather than weeks later after all this was relevant!

That said, seeing a lot of comments about the green screen, lighting, and background, so quick note: I had to film while traveling, meaning stuff was a bit rougher than it normally would be. Shouldn't be a problem in the future!

Mat pat: "yes, ive got my rick and morty tattoo. no you can not see it, its for the lady's eyes only"

Which says to me, hes got a Pickle rick

[TravisPlushProductions]

Did


Did Mat film on a green screen in which the background was just his room?

Badly lit MatPat + green screen = 10/10

Lol

Mattpat: "lemme green screen myself into my studio real quick"

[HeyItsTheWykydtron]

Mat is human? I thought he was just a sentient animated JPEG cut out.

Rick: “shhhh idiot
Mar Pat: we’ve never seen him take that much care for morty
😂😂😂

[hhhsp]

Ethical Egoism is actually kind of catchy

[LoganProductions]

"He's never shown that level of care for Morty"


Didn't he sacrifice his own life to save Morty when they broke time?

[connormagee]

Rick: there’s a lesson here, and I’m not gonna be the one to figure it out

Matpat: whomst has summoned the almighty one

[GhoulishOverkill]

The lesson is don't worry about how you're going to die, worry about how you're going to live.👌👌
That's what I picked when I saw the episode.

I know it's hard to consistently find mind blowing theories especially with the lack of content, so i think the direction and format you're taking is a clever change of pace to keep us entertained with content, but I hope we see some theories in the old school way still too, but love watching you Matpat always entertaining

Broke: actually being in your living room

Woke: greenscreening yourself in your own living room

"big brain concept"
me: *smirks unconsciously thinking abt felix* ._.

[margaret_adelle]

I wanna focus on the analysis, but all I can think about is how much darker he's lit than the green screen behind him.

[doesthisIookinfected]

I feel like this episode proves that a "cocky Morty is bad for everyone"
