I think the future of Rick and Morty comes from the present. After a few days of suffering, the first episode of the favorite brain-burning animation "Rick and Morty" in the fourth season can finally be watched normally. I watched it again with the feeling of pilgrimage, and I still felt familiar with it before: I didn't quite understand it. After watching it for the second time and the third time, I finally got a general understanding of the main plot of the story, and came to the conclusion that it is still a magical drama and did not live up to everyone's expectations.

The main plot of the first episode is as follows: Rick and Morty stole the Death Crystal from another planet. Touching it can show your way of death, and the way of death will change with your choice. Morty couldn't resist the temptation to choose the way of death next to the goddess Jessica. In order to achieve this goal, Morty made all kinds of crazy behaviors: driving too fast, killing Rick, killing classmates, killing policemen, killing troops, surrendering, being acquitted, getting everyone's forgiveness, refusing the invitation to swim naked with the goddess, and choosing the road of dying alone beside the goddess.

This story is about Rick's death. He shifts his consciousness to other Rick's clone tanks in parallel space, trying to find help to stop Morty. After being arrested in the fascist world, Rick tried to live in the present and was killed many times by the Nazis. The theme of the first episode was to enjoy the present or think about the future. When you pursue the future persistently, no matter whether you miss too many people and too many beautiful things around you, you finally find that the future you are looking for is just a joke. Of course, only by living in the present and having fun in time can you become a walking corpse without thinking. A famous saying sums up such a person well: some people are alive, but he is dead.

In addition to the accident, the film satirizes and criticizes some behaviors in real life: the goddess Jessica tweeted in grandma's hall. When her sister saw the photo, she felt very sexy. Sorrow gave her a special light. Then she tried her best to give her father candy, and her mother promptly exposed her sister's evil thoughts of taking photos and sending Weibo to her father's funeral home. There are many examples in life: relatives died, photos were taken, friends were posted, or Weibo was used to seek praise, so there are still many people trying to impress others, and even more sadly, they can attract many people to watch. So I think the future of Rick and Morty comes from the present.
