For those that didn't catch it, the episode started with Mortys killing Mortys, then Ricks killing Mortys, then Ricks killing Ricks, and finally with (evil) Morty killing Ricks.
This is hands down my favorite episode of all Rick and Morty, the writing in this episode with all the different stories happening and the voice acting skill to be talking to yourself the whole time for this ep was incredible!
Kris Waite finally somebody who gets why I like this episode so much and think it’s amazing. Yes the *insert spoiler here* moment was awesome but the sub stories are amazing!
To those of you wondering why they didn't have as big a reaction to the evil Morty reveal, remember that it's only been about 4 months since they saw the previous evil Morty episode so it's still relatively fresh, whereas regular viewers had to wait 3 AND A HALF YEARS between the two episodes. It was a long callback.
This was the first R&M episode that they reacted to since after their winter break. R&M 3x6 was recorded on December 20th, so they were getting back into the swing of things and had a bunch of other shows to record that day.
I call bullshit on that. I began watching Rick and Morty last October and I watch the whole thing in 3 weeks and I indeed was super impressed by the overall development of the episode. Although I had already figured out that it was Evil Morty mid-episode, I still got the chills when the reveal was confirmed and hen that errie song came out.
They eat the cookies because simple Rick has achieved what what they never will be able to achieve: happiness. They need to drain his chemicals because it is forever out of their reach. The ultimate form of jealousy.
I don't like this one. Doesn't make any sense for the smartest man in the universe to live in such a fucked up society when they even have the choice not to. The social critic part is also weird since Ricks are obviously way smarter than Morties so I don't get what they're trying to imply here...
The creators said this episode was written up before "when the world couldn't not be viewed politically" and was just an exercise to see if they could make an episode about the citadel interesting, I think they did a hell of a job
@@chrisdawson1776 And therefore there has always been a time it could be viewed non-politically. Because not giving a damn is not a political perspective.
Evil Morty utilized all the Mortys he controlled in the past as refugee crisis in the citadel, fueled discontent on all sides, came as the great equalizer and took over the citadel into an authoritarian regime.
Evil Morty was way back in episode 10 of season 1. When I first watched the episode, I didn't pick up that it was him until the scene where Campaign Manager Morty got sent through the air lock.
Alexander De Jong Detective Rick giving CM Morty the files at the bar, "President" Morty saying he doesn't know his original reality and the air lock scene.
See, I binge watched the show to catch up with Rick and Morty by about the halfway point in season 3 so Evil Morty was still kind of fresh in my mind and I was able to figure out it was Evil Morty when PI Rick gave the campaign manager the photos.
Just a man trying to learn Mostly every reaction is at least 20 mins, especially from the last ten or so. You'd think there would be more to discuss with this episode especially. I don't mind too much I guess cause they didn't have much to write being that they seemed super into this episode
@cbriggs120195 This was also the first R&M episode that they recorded after their winter break. R&M 3x6 was recorded and uploaded for me to edit on December 20th, so they were just getting back into the swing of things.
yea wtf? i dont even know if i wanna watch the video? Did they even like the episode? Also "they always have short discussions" they have had 10min+ discussion to boring episodes.. this episode has alot of things to discuss and compare to real life scenarios
that simple memory of Blindwave watching that episode has turned into Simple Blindwave's , capturing awesome Rick and Morty moment to completion, come home to Blindwave on youtube!
The amount of Genius writing and Epicness in just 20 minutes of this episode is what Many Shows and Movies have never been able to achieve in their whole lifetime , And that Last Reveal , holy damn , one of the BEST ENDINGS OF ALL TIME 👏😱👏🔥🔥
I remembered watching this episode "Ricklantis Mixup" while Blindawave just uploaded "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind" Season 1 of episode 10, the first apperance of Evil Morty but it was in patreon. Wish I could have seen and hear the full evil morty song/scene in this video. oh well, MERMAID PUSS!
When they first listed all the episode titles for season 3 this was originally called tales from the citadel, I had wondered why they changed the name.
Best episode in the series so far, from Blonde Redheads "For the damaged coda" soundtrack announcing Evil Morty to the epic "come home to the taste of shattering the grand illusion" wafer tagline.....there's more layers to the "Ricklantis mixup" episode than an Inception sequel. well done!
YES! Been waiting for this episode for you guys. I was having a somewhat shitty day and this put a little ray of happiness in there. It is true though, this episode was like, the definition of what makes this show so good and so entertaining.
this is the most serious episode of Rick and Morty and Im kinda disappointed in their reaction and in their discussion. I taught they would like it more.
cory hawks yeah but blind wave is different they analyze every episode and they understand the structure of the show and they make smart predictions. That's why they guessed it was evil morty and when they found out they were right they weren't like "Oh shit. ahhhhh I can't believe this". They were like "i knew it".
12:12 It's also like the Tales of Ba Sing Se from Avatar: The Last Airbender, where it goes through a bunch of short sidestories with each of the characters.
I'm not sure if you noticed, but the song that played when all the people were sent into space was the same song that played when Evil Morty was originally introduced.
Just watched this episode and I absolutely loved it! Missed the evil Morty first appearance so I was a bit confused but went back to watch and now it makes more sense and just made the episode even better than I already thought!
I cried at the end of watching this, because it took me back to my childhood when i saw this episode for the first time. The hype around rick and morty s3 and the mystery of the plot still actively unraveling was truly something special.
With time. Viewers that waited years for Evil Morty's reappearance didn't catch on because it had been so long. Viewers on Netflix, like myself, caught on the moment we saw a Morty running a campaign.
10:38 when I saw those flag goes down I was like "WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! ITS EVIL MORTY!!" (When I saw the file of him in it) "I KNEW IT!! THEY DIDN'T LISTEN TO THAT MORTY!!"
this episode was actually ruined for me by all the hype before I saw it. It's as if people hadn't realized how great a show Rick & Morty is before this episode. I shall now relate what I think motivates Rick ... how very smart he is translates to how very powerful he is and that amount is how much responsibility he has to bear. So-called the smartest man in the universe, in the multi-verse that is a lot of responsibility. He can make and unmake things in such a grand scale as each episode testifies. This means he has to always be on guard and everything is his responsibility alone because he has no equal. In the "toxic" episode he unconsciously thinks his love for Morty is a danger because it makes him vulnerable. In the episode "inside a simulation inside an alien craft" he knew he was in a simulation and so he could safely play with his grandson who was actually a simulation as there would be no consequences and this one time he could let his guard down playing with fake Morty. If it were the real Morty there would be consequences. Rick is a man apart and alone because of his burden. He cannot care about things like a normal human being because power corrupts all it touches. When one is enlightened to such things then a decision must be made what to make of that knowledge and whether it's possible to still belong in the world. This is a little bit of what he wrestles with.
5:50, Detective Calvin, meet your new partner... Detective Eric. Movie Trailer VO: "Detective Calvin, a loose cannon whose determination gets results. Detective Eric, a half-deaf genius whose by the books demeanor makes him the ideal officer. When they team up, they'll save this town, if they don't kill each other first."
And people say Season 3 was weak... it had so many great episodes. And I think this is the best of the whole series. Holy shit... I get shivers every time I watch this.
This episode was voiced by one guy.
The simple Rick voiceover was a different guy... They credit him but they don't credit the voice of Rick and Morty.. It's a joke the creators did
The only exception was the narrator of the Simple Rick commercial which was Sam Elliot
Also young Beth.
@@Acesarecool4269 It wasn't Sam Elliot. It was Jeff B. Davis channeling Sam Elliot.
No, there were at least 3 other people doing at least one voice. Simple Rick narrator, baby Beth and the robot dog.
This has to be the densest Rick & Morty episode.....and it's amazing.
Crulex
It’s so dense, every single image has so many things going on...
Agreed
This was the best episode
For those that didn't catch it, the episode started with Mortys killing Mortys, then Ricks killing Mortys, then Ricks killing Ricks, and finally with (evil) Morty killing Ricks.
Omg I never noticed that.
@@richdadsummit7557 Probably because it's not relevant, important or intended...
@@_booth7992 It was probably intended.

Best fucking episode of the series. Ive been waiting for this.
lazyman1128 SAME
no this is legit the best one
I hope the next show that replaces Rick and Morty timeslot is Justice League cartoon.

bull fucking shit. politics has existed since human language has, and the themes of 3x7 are simply not apolitical.
What the fuck does that mean?
There has never been a time where the world could be viewed at non-politically.

RickdiculousLi he also took advantage of Rick Sanchez C-137’s disassembly of the previous government.
The great Ozymandias move
Evil Morty was way back in episode 10 of season 1. When I first watched the episode, I didn't pick up that it was him until the scene where Campaign Manager Morty got sent through the air lock.
Could anyone point out the hints that were dropped during the episode?
Alexander De Jong Detective Rick giving CM Morty the files at the bar, "President" Morty saying he doesn't know his original reality and the air lock scene.
See, I binge watched the show to catch up with Rick and Morty by about the halfway point in season 3 so Evil Morty was still kind of fresh in my mind and I was able to figure out it was Evil Morty when PI Rick gave the campaign manager the photos.
Big one is the song at the end, same song as his first appearance
I binged so he was fresh in my mind, but I could see a large gap could lead to it being missed.
"Did i gragitate this time yet?"
Zak Rosenfeld 😂
Zak Rosenfeld Anything's possible, Tall Morty.
This was my year book quote😂😂😂
i said this to my teacher
HUGE theory that rick and morty are the same person because of this
Is it me or does Evil morties theme song seem to send chills down my spine every time I hear it?
The melody is based on a Chopin Nocturne. Can't remember the opus number. Interesting tidbit.
@@jamesmays9814 It's called For the damaged Coda but I guess it could be based off a nocturne

Good news
“I want a taser button on my car!”
“No.”
“ *Yes.* “
The pacing of this is incredible, about 4 stories happening simultaneously, without any one going to too long or too short of a stretch.
*I wish incest porn had a more mainstream appeal... for a friend of mine*
junior20091009 He had a picture of Summer in his locker........ For a friend of his, obviously.
Game of Thrones.
Gets a lot creepier when you realise summer has red hair and looks similar to Jessica
I'm going to call him Game of Thrones Morty from now on.
Gets even creepier when you realize that all of his friends are other mortys
Its also like Tales of Ba Sing Se
Ohhh Avatar feels....
Or Tales From The Borderlands
2 of my favorite shows ever
One of the creepiest episodes of Avatar the last airbender.
@@dragonandavatarfan8865 City of Walls and Secrets was
I'm kind of shocked they only had 5 or so minutes of discussion on this episode

To fool the viewers into thinking it had something to do with Rick and Atlantia
@@donutlovingwerewolf8837 I too got fooled enough before watching this ep
That whole end scene never fails to give me chills. The music in this series is so on point.
My favorite episode, so well done, it could even be a full movie! Also, that Mass Effect feel when I see ''Tales from the Citadel'' title!
Best episode of the show so far!
YES
To this day it's still THE best
I never really thought about it, but Slick's wish came true.
2021 and it's still the best episode of the series
7:23 Should've aimed for the head......
10:27 * snaps fingers*
A metaphor? I think so.
I almost cried when evil morty took over that was crazy the plot was crazy this has to be my favorite episode
This episode cracks me up because I imagine Justin Rolland voicing this entire episode by himself. He’s just talking to himself all day 😂

I've been waiting for you guys to react to this episode for the longest. I love this episode.
Always come back to this reaction, bc this episode was so damn CHILLING
I have waited so long for you guys to do this reaction, I can’t believe the moment is finally here :)

13:49 It's the blender dimension
The Bender dimension ?

Those people over react for views. That's it.
Not everyone is gonna go "NANI!?"...

Best episode for me in all 3 seasons!
last week i read stuff like eric is on holiday. please patreons tell me that he's here for morty's mind blowers (my favorite episode)
