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!
Love the analysis videos, from science to philosophy hope to see more!
Woomy!
@viktor trajkovic did you even read it? Ugh people like you are so annoying
Why are u green screened in the video
Amazing approach....liked it.... would love more of these "analysis" videos
How come all mortys deaths are with rick but rick has one with morty how does that work
I know this video is a little old now but I just wanted to say: I think your interpretation of Objectivism is a little incorrect. What you’ve actually come closer to is a Max Stirner form of egoism where as long as you derive pleasure from your actions, those actions are objectively correct. In truth, objectivism is about *rational* self interest. Meaning that Morty, if he were truly an Objectivist, wouldn’t allow Rick to die to achieve his “objective” goal, as in Objectivist philosophy, murder is considered a selfless act. You’re making an innocent person sacrifice their life for your benefit only, which - if you’re an _actual_ objectivist, not the shitty version of it Atlas Society perpetuates - is something you’ll want to avoid. For an example of this, look no further than James Taggart, the antagonist of Atlas Shrugged. There’s a controversial scene in the book where because of an error at Taggart Transcontinental (the train company he and his sister Dagny, the protagonist of the story run) two trains get into an accident and blow up a tunnel. To me, this represents that phony version of objectivism people are lead to believe. James doesn’t care about the outcome of his choices to send in another train even though he knows one is stuck, because if his plan succeeds, the incoming train will still arrive to its destination on time.
Why are you greenscreening yourself into that room?
I'm wearing a Rick and Morty shirt right now
What I like most about your new style, is one most evident when compared to other YTers; it seems like you said (at least) most of it in one go. No cuts. Some of your colleagues are almost notorious when it comes to cuts, and they seem not to understand how off putting their content becomes because of it. I really appreciate you took the time to say your lines properly in one go. Thumbs up for that. 👍
I shmaak the video, give us more.. give us more... give us moreeee
I hope you haven't had IT tattooed like Pickle Rick!
Can we talk about how your behind a green screen
you should watch the politician it is a similar message
you can tell this guy listened in school
Or my theory is, morty is too stupid to realise that how he dies has nothing to do with his actuale problem, i think that sums it up pretty good.
I loved this style, actually
show is not that smart its just u who is dumb. consider that for a change.
Just stick to your old format...it worked better...
0:48 “nothin personnel kid 😎” fantastic reference
everyone has heard of something like "big ego!"

I do love your chill format! keep up the amazing work I just can't fathom how you put out so much content, you have so much on your plate.but I've been a fan since back is the cringy DVD that's just a game theory! Much Love.
Akita? but isn't it actually a reference to the Movie Lucy? At the end of the show, she does basically the same thing even down to the colors. that movie was lit.
I really enjoy the laid back style and all the rick and morty episodes
Morty has one problem: he's way too interested in Jessica! He buried the death Crystal in his forehead and didn't bleed?!
*burp* stupid normie Jerry!
Imo hologram Rick reminds me of a male feminist. Think about it he is acting all nice to Morty until he finally gets what he wants. He's passive-aggressive, easily offended, and a protestor. It seems rather intentional.
Trippy hands in greenscren PattMat but nice vid :D
I kinda miss the full-body videos
Badly lit MatPat combined + green screen = 10/10
When a show has a mystery not even the FBI can solve, but I know about Matpat's channel: I HAVE THE POWER OF GOD AND ANIME ON MY SIDE
“We eat our prey alive” seems to be addressing the relevance of living in the moment and the “hatch eggs in their eyes” addresses the planning for the future, all undermined by the actual point of having empathy. Noice one
Cool owo
rip the baby sanchez
I love these videos!! You should do a Venture Bros theory video!! Its also a really great show that has/had a lot of theories to it!
I miss your old video editor. Rest in peace to him.
wow, I have totally a sapiophillic crush on you man.....I Love your theories
Mat: Yes I have a rick and Morty tattoo no you cannot see it its only for the ladies to see Me: waaaaait
Is it just me or MatPat looks like he was crying? ;-;
He cries all the time. A real big baby.
You are not really in the room,mat
I do prefer the other format, but I still hear interesting theories either way. So I dont care
Is he recording with a green screen?
[6 months in the future] Are you sure that “attacking” the police is “morally reprehensible”? Really?
yep
MatPat: I use audible while I'm driving through a lake Me: *W h A t*
Sorry but why do you need a green screen to look like your in your own room 😂
The video played for ac ouple seconds in that little preview so when I clicked it all I got To hear was "theory" so am sad now
I like to think the lesson is that it's not about the way you die. It's about the way you live. Live in the moment, or live planning for the future, live being a selfish jerk wad, or live benefitting the world, anywhere between all that. How do you choose to live life?
The questions on my mind for that episode was "What is making this death so certain?" Every action had up to eight outcomes, but there was one that was guaranteed, and the actions he did were extremely chaotic. It also never changed even when he made a mistake and corrected it. with every mistake he made the odds that the he would get the Exact Same death by trying again should be getting smaller. To the point that the outcome would be impossible to recreate. Just thank that even the concept of a certain death beyond that example that was used with Rick would not work. Either you have Determinism or not. You cant have a little of it. If i have to make a theory then it would be "The Death Crystal has some sort of conciseness that tricks people into chaos." or "That is a slightly different death every time and as long as he survived all the adventures, his death would be guaranteed." Badly worded drunken thought, out.
egoism is actually not 100 percent bad, because there are no such things as bad or good.
So the lesson was "living a good life is better than having a good death"

i liked you more when you were an animated head
Dude! You give me Jake Peralta vibes.
This is weird, I don't trust a live action MatPatt. Give us JPEG cutout!!
Attacking bullies is not reprehensible
7:02 zen buhdists must be really bad at chess
Yeah I like both styles.
“HE|_|_”w o w
P
Astounding. I cannot find a worse take on Objectivism, and believe you me there are many bad takes. Did you just like... Look at the name and try to extrapolate what it meant?
6:40 Nice Theory/Analysis but it looks like the greenscreen or something doesn't look quite good
if you didnt have the zoom-ins i wouldn't had realised youre using a green screen 👀
I like these more laid back film theory, because I don't have to use my brain as much and also Mat doesn't ruin movies or TV shows for me.
I loved it
Anyone else watching this see the dickhead brother from step brothers in this guy?
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
Is it just me or does it seem as if he’s in front of a green screen 😐
he is
Why is his background green screened
He was traveling when he filmed this episode
Amassing episode 😒
The lesson basically: (in a hoarse voice) The needs of the many outweighs the needs of the one.
I like the new style, but i also like your old one. So you could do half and half
Easy do not trust a hologram
Why does Rick always have drool coming out of his mouth
