While fan obviously know how oftenRick and Mortysteals from slew of shows and movies , as that ’s fundamentally the assumption of the serial , they have n’t place their sights on superhero cinema too often ( or else favour more iconic , Hellenic employment of scientific discipline fiction or fantasy ) . But in emergence # 48 , the couplet putInfinity Warin their crosshairs .
The brusk story " Hit Me , Space Baby , One More Time " by Kyle Starks , Marc Ellerby , and Sarah Stern begins like many sequence ofRick and Morty : with Morty existing in a seemingly perfect fantasy land completely unrecognizable to his substantial life story . His founding father is a successful businessman , his mother is a classic adoring homemaker – Jessica is even his steady girl . When Morty realizes that Rick is confined to a wheelchair because he sacrificed himself to write his grandson , he knows something is haywire . It ’s then that Rick photograph Morty alert , and explains thetruth : Morty has become a cosmic god .

When Thanos only had an regular army of Chitauri to re - equilibrize overcrowded worlds , sure , murdering half the population indiscriminately madesomesense . But with the powers of a god , capable to rewrite reality throughout all Creation … Thanos just did the exact same thing . Rather than create a"paradise"by doubling resources and solid food , double the routine of habitable worlds throughout the universe of discourse , or curing equid influenza , Thanos pulled something thatMortywould accidentally oversee . bolster the face that both may qualify as"real stupid idiots"in Rick ’s middle .
But hey , Mortydidremember to give himself a new robot lady friend before relinquishing his divine powerfulness . Which is more than Thanos got for his bother .
