Like grandpa, like grandson. Of course our boy is smart!!

Morty is so dumb that...

1. He regularly disarms Rick's neutrino bombs. The first time he did it it was completely on the fly, no prior experience. Yet, he did it.

2. He has a knack for learning alien languages... as for the tree people in the battery dimension, it was obviously done without any sort of translator or support. (And he took over as their leader)

3. He's quick on his feet and can think his way out in a stressful situation, figuring out things that Rick can't and coming up with innovative solutions.

4. He figured out how to use a portal gun.

5. He can figure out how machines he's never seen nor used before work, and employ them successfully.

6. Beat Rick (smartest man in the universe?) in a board game.

7. Can manipulate said "smartest man in the universe", if he so chooses.

8. Became a successful stock broker. Out of the blue. Just did it.

9. Run. Whole. Freaking. Civilizations (and also toppled them as Marta)

10. Pitches good ideas that Rick typically ignores

11. When suddenly becomes motivated to try, he is good at math

12. His ideas were good enough that he would have gotten a deal for a movie production...!

13. His default intelligence is maxed out.

...At this point, it's only a matter of time before he starts making his own inventions, Eyepatch-Morty-style.

GUYS.

The only reason we've been thinking that Morty is stupid is that Rick has been calling him stupid repeatedly.

Sure, Morty does plenty of dumb stuff, but so does Rick. Rick has the emotional intelligence of a four year old and throws tantrums of cosmic proportions whenever slighted (vat of acid? submit to the selfie?), while often going ahead with complicated, innovative ideas... that in reality solve nothing and are a waste of time (Pickle Rick?? Leg Rick?? Cloning his own daughter? The dumb time-loop in his own dimension? Replacing himself with a robot? Creating a robot ghost to scary Mr Poopybutthole instead of just telling him to leave??) Not to mention his many incredibly lame jokes.

Everyone does dumb stuff occasionally!!! No one is an impeccable genius of non-stop moments of brightness!! (even Eyepatch Morty, the most cautious character, the character who has made basically NO MISTAKES up to now, sounds dumb a couple of times: "I'm gonna do the thing I wanna do, with the curve thing" and "My biggest fear is other people being afraid. Of fear. Itself." lol).

If Rick hadn't been calling Morty a freaking idiot with every breath available, we wouldn't be thinking "oh look haha the moron became a stock broker, what a joke, must be some sort of fluke"; we would be thinking "what an incredibly gifted kid".

We would attribute Morty's many mistakes to lack of experience, to lack of wisdom, to youth, to enthusiasm, to idealism, to teenager hormones, to acting hastily.

We would wish to see him eventually mature, apply his time and effort to worthwhile endeavors instead (mainly) of inane teenage stuff. We would wish to see him do well in school, we would wish to see him reach his full potential and succeed in great things.

Only Rick keeps pounding our heads with how stupid Morty is, and all of Morty's successes are never mentioned again, but getting lost to oblivion in comparison to Rick's (who has 60+ years more experience) genius.

WE VIEWERS ARE BEING UNWITTINGLY MANIPULATED THE EXACT SAME WAY MORTY IS.

Some of my favourite comic panels from what I’ve read recently of Morty being adorable, and smart (emotionally AND factually) and also just taking charge from Rick bc it always makes me happy to see him complain as he follows Morty to keep him safe anyways.

insanely funny to me that the "kill... pencilvester" line from total rickall was the only time we've heard rick's voice thick with emotion like that

if justin roiland ever pulls something like that for a lore-heavy episode i think i will pass away

I'm late to the party I know, but I don't think enough people are talking about the fact that our Rick *didn'f* leave Beth. His Beth was killed.

A couple of Ricks did leave their Beths and those are the Beths we see in the show. That means that when Rick has been searching for new realities to hop into, he always chooses ones where the Ricks left their Beths when they were kids. Because those are the only Beths who are still alive. The only Beths alive were abandoned when their Ricks found portal guns.

And Rick NEVER corrects Beth. "I never left you," "I didn't leave!" Etc when she denigrates him or rants about being left by her father. Because he knows those feelings are valid. They are coming from a real place, because her father really did leave her, and to her her father is him. It's fuckin mind blowing!

I'm sorry but the fact that we went 5 seasons thinking our Rick left his wife and child and that was the basis as to why many hated him/ view him as a bad father is important!

Always wanted to draw Tuft Rick with a pole-arm as a weapon and I also had to draw poses for practice.

So I figured I'd hit two bird with one stone

The moment I saw Wasp Rick I knew I had to draw him! His design is so cool!
