I guess I'm the only one who liked "Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie"? It wasn't anything mindblowing, and it suffers from the lack of Rick and Morty getting sidelined again, but I thought it was ridiculous enough to be funny. It would've been funnier if Ice-T voiced himself, though.

Thoughts on Rick and Morty S7: Rise of the Numericons and that Kuato Episode (Briefly)

I could barely get through "Rise of the Numericons". Honestly I got distracted during the finale and didn't really mind. Also the Kuato episode was bad too, but at least it had something to say about Summer...this one was literally just the writers deciding they were going to take a break from Rick and Morty to make a dumb popcorn movie, because "anything can happen in the multiverse".

Yeah well, being spontaneous is good for the writing process, but there's a reason we don't literally just write and publish everything we can think of that theoretically exists in an infinite multiverse.

If this is what the writing room considers a good, fun movie, then Ant-Man: Quantumania makes a lot more sense. Because yes, there are things to like about this episode. The structure of a decent story is here. It's generally a silly, punny action-comedy. But it's lacking a hook; some added element or twist that makes it interesting or even relevant to the show. It's hard to even call this an episode of Rick and Morty because there's no thematic connection. The formula is sound, but it lacks the sincerity of a writer who is really interested in their own story. It's performing what should be a story. It's content.

This is also how I feel about the plot-centered episodes from recent seasons, to a certain degree. The writers have to continue these story threads to keep that audience coming back. But they don't feel like a natural culmination of the season's hints and lore like they did in "Wedding Squanchers".

There's this tone that cartoons sometimes get where you can tell the writers had trouble figuring out the dialogue, so the characters just start acting goofy and say normal dialogue almost mockingly, like they become avatars for the writers to restlessly poke fun at them while trying to ward of writer's block. Yeah, both this week's episode and the Kuato episode had that.

Rise of the Numericons isn't the movie they want. It's the movie they think we want.

look i like the new episode for what it was - the simplicity and fun of it all. i was thrilled to see ice t actually in the credits, i remember hearing him saying he would've loved to appear in get schwifty and i'm glad they brought him back.

the entire episode, i must admit, i was waiting for rick to show up. i was like where IS HE. but then again i think that's kind of the point? it's supposed to be a morty centric episode, to see how the kid fares now without rick's interference. i think it works surprisingly well, making the audience miss rick while morty is just having his own adventure. or at least it would. if i didn't have this awful feeling that morty didn't rlly do anything ???

he was just there while the plot was going on around him. i wish he was more active. i like that he was the centre of this episode, i LIKE that rick wasn't mentioned at all, but i don't like how morty just has no agency at this point. it better get fixed istg.

Rick and Morty S7 Ep. 8: Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie

(I do care!)

Don’t forget to add spoilers to the equation

My Favs

Reminiscent of HarmonTown

I use to listen to HarmonTown back when Dan Harmon was still doing that show and I felt this episode was the most HarmonTown-esqe episode they have even done. It was written by HarmonTown regular Rob Schrab and had Dan Harmon and Brandon Johnson as basically the two leads of the episode and I felt I was listening to that podcast once again.

It broke the formula the hardest out of any episode that has been done

Mainly because Rick didn’t show up at all. I guess he’s still so depressed he couldn’t be bothered. I appreciate when the show is able to take a wild swing like that and having Rick present would have taken away from what they were trying to accomplish with Mr. Goldenfold

Mr. Goldenfold’s character was fleshed out

Mr. Goldenfold has always been the butt of the joke so it was a nice change of pace to show him as someone who is passionate about his subject matter and cares about teaching. I think the episode could have done more but it was nice seeing the character taken somewhat seriously.

Math/Letter puns

This episode was chock full of corny, sometimes clever math and letter puns and it was kinda fun trying to hunt them all. A few of my favorites include:

Bracket shield

All Type strikers attack. I want his serifs.

Subtract Water-T to life and carry the one to me

Helvetica Light speed

Threesus Christ

E-10

“I’m a prime number and I’m only divisible by myself”

“And my dick is magma but we’ll figure it out.”

Not My Fav

Morty’s role in the episode

I like seeing Morty in any episode I can get him. I really do, but Morty being in this episode felt like an executive saying, “We can’t have both Rick and Morty not be in an episode that’s a bridge too far. Just find something for Morty to do and call it a day.” As others have pointed out, you could take him out of the episode and nothing would be affected. I wish more had been done to justify him being there other than to commentate.

I’m starting to worry that the show is relying too much on older characters/older concepts

I’m not necessarily opposed to older one-off characters coming back, fleshing out old stories, or explore old places, but if done too much it can start to feel like a crutch. I feel now as we approach the end of season 7 that they might be creeping into the territory of being over reliant on old material. It might be time to start course correcting for that.

My Thoughts

I might be a bit of an outlier on this one but…I kinda enjoyed this episode. I mentioned earlier that this episode felt the most HarmonTown-esqe of any episode they’ve ever done--and I really missed that podcast. This episode seemed like something that they would have improvised or joked during an episode of that show. Also, I had read a couple reviews before the episode aired so I already knew ahead of time that Rick wasn’t going to be in it and that the episode really had nothing to do with the lore or developing the family so I went into the episode not expecting that and I had fun with it.

This episode was a love letter to schlocky 80’s action movies that seem serious on the surface but are, at their core, just dumb, corny fun. I think not having Rick in the episode was a good call because he would’ve just been a cynical voice to an episode that didn’t need any cynicism. Speaking of Rick’s absence, when I heard that he wasn’t going to be in the episode and that Water-T and Mr. Goldenfold were the main focus I expected that the episode would be a bit divisive among the fan base and they did not disappoint. It’s exhausting being in this fandom.

This episode is certainly one of the weaker episodes this season I won’t dispute that but I think a weaker episode from this season is leagues better than that sperm episode ( or some of the weaker episodes from seasons 4 and 5) and I will die on that hill. There was some clever moments, like the primitive googas being reminiscent of early pictographs and the relationship between math and music with Mr. Goldenfold teaching Ice-T about time signatures. That connection makes the logic of Mr. Goldenfold’s and Ice-T’s friendship and falling out make sense, albeit, in a deeply silly way. The writer clearly loves 80’s action movies and used the characters and settings of Rick and Morty to accomplish his own version and I’m here for it.

gonna be honest rick and morty s7e8 was kinda really bad. your enjoyment of it rides entirely on if you cared about the Ice-T joke that stopped being funny like halfway through the get shwifty episode. there are a couple cute puns but it's so boring overall

"Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie" sounds like a wasted episode on paper: it's a ridiculous concept, it's a sequel that nobody asked for, and the two leads are a side character and a one-off cameo. In fact, it wasn't even a cameo. I had no idea that Dan Harmon voiced Ice-T in "Get Schwifty" until today. I thought the writers introduced Ice-T because he wanted to be on the show, but it was just a goofy pun.

But somehow, the writers balanced hip hop, action movies and outrageous antics without going overboard. "Rickdependence Spray" in season five is "going for it" gone wrong--a barely coherent mess that nearly everyone agrees is the worst episode in the show.

Conversely, "Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie" is pure entertainment. The jokes, digs at action movies and running gag that Water-T has no idea who Morty is are hilarious. Water-T's song at the end is actually catchy and the perfect soundtrack to the climax.

The fact that Ice-T voiced himself this time helped, too. Hugh Jackman's role in "How Poopy Got His Poop Back" would've been pointless namedropping if that weren't actually Hugh Jackman.

[Edit: Apparently, Ice-T only voiced Helium-Q? Damn, Dan Harmon nailed that impression.]

And man, everyone really is queer in the Rick and Morty universe! People call Morty the token straight character, but I think he's bi after his weird, unexplained obsession with Bruce Chutback in season five. Wish the series would say it outright, though.

Evidently, B-plots are a thing of the past. Some B-plots from earlier episodes are classic, but I also like one plot getting a full 20 minutes because it gives the leads more time to develop.

Speaking of leads, one issue I had is that Morty is overshadowed yet again. Rick has dominated seasons six and seven with little time for Morty. Sometimes, Jerry or Summer take his place. And now Morty's overshadowed by...Mr. Goldenfold and Water-T?

You could have edited him out and had virtually the same story. It's obvious that he's only present because people might not watch a Rick and Morty episode without at least half of the duo.

This episode did make me think about Dan Harmon's statement in 2022 that Rick and Morty could go on forever. You can do anything in a show with infinite dimensions to explore. Check in on old characters, develop existing relationships, travel to the craziest planets, make social commentary, see what Water-T's been up to, add another twist to Rick's lore--that one has limits, but a 70-year-old man has a long history.

Still, we've all watched THAT show that dragged on too long, declining so sharply that it almost ruins the classic episodes. People say that Superjail! ended too early, and it's even more lawless than Rick and Morty, but it took the viewer to bizarro land and ended before it went stale. Sometimes, enough is enough.

Rick says in "Promortyus" that he doesn't do sequels. However, after six seasons in total and four seasons that stubbornly refused to give fans what they want (not a bad thing, but fakeouts get old after a while), I think we've earned some follow-ups. It feels like the series is coming full circle as we gear up for the last 32 episodes.

But let's give Morty something to do! He has flaws, but he's the moral heart of the show. Without him, Rick would be a miserable old man in a house full of people trying to out-snark each other.
