shoutout to rick prime knowing evil morty for like 5 minutes at most and IMMEDIATELY dropping the whole “i don’t need a sidekick” thing for basically single-handedly proving that there is not one rick in the whole world that is immune to morty and every conceivable version of rick really adores this kid more than anything in the whole universe
Did you noticed this? Lightening highlights, same place on hair, same age (probably). Even young adult Morty's hairstyle is similar to young adult Rick's, only Morty's hairstyle is shorter but just as wild style too.
creators saying in the behind the episode vid that they wrote diane according to what she'd actually be like as rick's wife, and not according to what morty would imagine her as. this is FANTASTIC to know actually.
she's a woman who can give it back to rick. who can be sarcastic and witty with him. she's intelligent in a way that's independent of being with rick, who finds charm in his nihilistic philosophy. she isn't this perfect obedient housewife. she has grit and drive and opinions that don't match with rick's and that makes her compelling. i am 200% more invested in her character after her added screen time.
what i mean to say is that diane has agency, and i am so fucking relieved about that.
