That’s important to underline how the Multiverse status-quo is about to change, especially since now beings from realities outside the Central Finite Curve can challenge Rick in new and exciting ways. So, the first major thing the new season’s premiere confirms is that, yes, Morty beat the Rick we think might be the smartest and most capable of all the Ricks. They are incapable of using Rick's Portal Gun to jump through dimensions, since the destruction of the Central Finite Curve messes around with coordinates- and even the Rickiest Rick cannot think of a way to escape his death. There, Rick and Morty contemplate their death, after being left stranded in space by Evil Morty. Season 6, Episode 1, takes us back to the shattered Citadel. Season 5’s finale also reveals the ultimate plan of Evil Morty: break down the Central Finite Curve and escape to a reality where Rick doesn’t rule. Called the Central Finite Curve, this collection of realities also had as a side effect the damnation of every Morty (voiced by Roiland), as Rick’s grandson is reduced to a decoy in the realities of this section of the Multiverse. Many decades before the series started, the Council of Ricks, with the help of Rick C-137, built walls around the multiverse to isolate only the realities where Rick is the smartest man alive. But that’s part of what makes Rick and Morty such an interesting experience, as the series allows its characters to grow amidst the most chaotic sci-fi storylines.Īt the end of Season 5, we learn the reason why every reality has one genius Rick. There’s a lot to unpack in “Solaricks,” for sure, and people who just jumped into the series for Season 6 will be completely lost. On top of that, we meet the true villain of the whole series, the man responsible for Rick (voiced by Justin Roiland) becoming a ruthless, drunk, egomaniac asshole. In Season 6, Episode 1, not only do we get a direct follow-up to the multiverse-crushing Season 5 finale, “Rickmurai Jack,” but we also earn some deep cuts on previous seasons - and not in the “let’s make some jokes and move on” kind of way, as the new season’s premiere really ties up a lot of loose ends and puts the Smith family at the center of a new storyline. Season 6’s premiere, “Solaricks,” is here to show fans that the Rick and Morty crew understood the fair criticism and is ready to steer the new season's boat on a different course.
One of the main complaints about Season 5 of Rick and Morty is that the show became ever more uncoupled from its canon storyline, with most of the episodes dedicated to wacky one-shot concepts that might be fun but don’t pack the same emotional punch.
