And uhh just because his eye is wonky doesn't mean they aren't the same species. He's got the same basic shape/size/and accent or speech patterns. As though there are 0 variations between different members of the same species. Seems like an intentional connection given we haven't seen that poopy butthole since the end of S2 and once again Rick is all about it despite barely remembering it or even seemingly having ever done anything with it.

I for one appreciate that Rick talks to he rats in PickleRick exactly the same way he talks to higher life forms while he's slaughtering them.

It shows you that's how Rick sees everyone, a rodent barely capable of comprehending what he is doing to them. It's exactly like when he rips off Gearface's groin gears, he's not actually talking to anyone but himself.

It's also kind of funny that Rick specifically calls Dr. Wong on being a "monologist" given his own monologue when goring the giant rat. This season has done a great job of characterizing Rick.

Because her authority had just been successfully challenged (Possibly for the first time since she met Jerry) and could not think of any other way to put down the person who did it.

... partially. My theory: "Wong" is a stereotypical Asian surname. If you're going to make a joke name about an Asian, Irishman, or Pole, then you're probably going to use the names Wong, McGillicuddy, or _____ski. Example: "In the Chinese phone book, there are 100 pages of Wongs. That's a lot of Wong numbers!!"

The doctor was named Wong, so Beth, in a huff because of what Darkly Dreaming said and not quick enough on her feet to fully think through her clap back, she decided that since Wong was a stereotypical name, it must be racist to use it... even though she is Asian and it is plausible that her name is Wong for non-racist reasons.

So drunk Rick expected sober(ish) Rick and Morty to have left the traps via portal right (maybe up to the party)? Maybe the Noob Noob tribute at the end was because he straight up didn't expect Morty to even be there anymore. (It's not this because it isn't as funny, but still ...)

What's the over-under on Super Nova having secretly murdered them because they weren't okay with blowing up a planet to stop a shape shifter?

Personally, I think it's more likely that they were killed by Doomnomitron during the mission. The deaths of fellow Vindicators quite easily drives Supernova to scorched-earth-level homicidal rage, as we see in the episode. She's more than happy to kill Rick and Morty because of the deaths of Maximus and Crocubot (and possibly Alan and maybe even Million, which she unfairly blames on R & M).

Of course, once she's decided to kill someone (or someones), she's capable of killing even her own lover to make sure it stays a secret, so it is more than a little likely that Supernova killed them to keep her decision to exterminate the planet a secret.

Hell, it almost looks like the odds are 50/50.

Low chance because it's not nearly as entertaining if she is already a murderer and betrayer before Rick's sheer shittiness and pettiness pushed her in that direction.

It's partly what others have said, and I'm pretty sure partly a meta joke about Dr. Wong being voiced by Susan Sarandon, a very white woman.

I just rewatched the episode, and I don't think they mention Supernova's name until the end, when Logic says it and then Morty does. Although Million Ants does call her "Titty Bean" which is a name.

edit: And what if she killed Snuzzles because he killed Alan Rails, instead of as part of a coverup? :tinfoil:

It's not just entertaining, it's pretty much the main theme of the show that everyone is a worse, shittier person for having met Rick Sanchez.

Whats up goons, its interesting to read your feedback on the vindicators episode. It actually got cut down quite a bit from its original length. I hope they put the deleted scenes in or something when it goes to DVD. I think you guys would like it. Heres some stuff I did for that episode.

This thing which was only featured for maybe 2 seconds?



And here is the 3d model of it.

Also this episode grew on me the more I watched it. It's a good satire of Marvel stuff as well as showing how far Rick will go to prove a pointless point.

If there are deleted scenes I have a feeling I'll like this episode a lot more with them included. I think a lot of criticisms about it boil down to the fact that it really could have used more scenes to flesh out some of the characters.

I do also like that while Maximus is an rear end in a top hat, he's pretty on-the-money about Rick (both that he pretty much needs his sense of moral nihilism to even function and that his alcoholism is unbelievably hosed and destructive).

He inhaled a million ants and he wasnt a ghost (as rick joked)but had the ability to summon a ghost train.
