Rick and Morty
Warning: This article contains references to suicide and sexual assault.
But theres a limit.
Even some ofRick and Mortys best episodeshave sequences that go too far.
At first, Morty is hesitant to get into the festivities.
But when he discovers his inner rage, hes finally able to purge.
Its pretty scary to see the murderous monster lurking just under the surface of this seemingly mild-mannered teenager.
In following that directive, the ship gets creative in the most sinister ways.
So, instead, it uses psychological warfare.
He gives a long monologue about how life itself is meaningless and nothing matters.
But that fun takes a really grim turn when Rick and Jerry shut off the immortality field without warning.
A couple of kids are shown killing each other back and forth for a laugh.
After the field is destroyed, one of the kids doesnt get back up.
The other kid will need a lot of therapy.
A distraught Mr. Lunas takes his own life.
But the darkest storyline in the episode by far is the one set at the Simple Ricks Wafers factory.
The multiverse has but one happy Rick, and hes being enslaved and exploited to create snack food.
Just as Morty is about to give up, this adventure kicks him while hes down one last time.
