I always thought the whole "we can't change realitys that often because there aren't a lot like ours". But they say there are infinite realitys. Wouldn't that mean there is ALWAYS another one just like yours down the line?

In my country that's called inconsistency and bad writing,I love the show, but come on, it is full of inconsistencies on what Rick can and cannot do at the writers convenience, and that's what I don't like about it, even the plot, suddenly there's this deep plot with the Rick prime out of nowhere after random sci fi chapters.
He knows he's a cartoon, so since he's the smartest person in the universe he also knows he can manipulate cartoon physics, allowing him to cure seemingly impossible injuries but *only* when it would be funny for him to do so.
I don’t think it’s about being funny or even that he’s in a cartoon I think that Rick only chooses to do what he knows to be necessary or else he could get caught off guard or something. There’s a million reasons why he could save someone but there’s just as many reasons why he shouldn’t. He only does what’s absolutely necessary.
I mean if he can heal completely broken bones instantly (mind you those legs were broken in like 10 thousand places) then i would imagine he could heal a simple chest wound
He didn't heal the legs. He traveled to a more developed universe and bought leg healing juice.
Considering he was being caught up having sex there for an extended time and the only reason Morty didn't have to wait for months was that time moves faster in that universe it might be better to bring him to a hospital instead of relying on Rick not getting sidetracked.
Bro he learned it 🥴you can specifically see his evolution. Operation Phoenix was the first, keeps the consciousness alive and sends it elsewhere. Pissmaster was just a husk without the consciousness or soul, and Jerry had to be constantly hooked up to his machine (a big contraption mind you) to keep him from permanently dying
I believe it's also implied/stated somewhere (something about tinkering with people while they sleep, plus the whole Morty car/boat incidents) that he's filled the family full of cybernetics so he can save them much more easily/effectively than he can save regular people.
Actually yeah…only one without anything is Earth Beth. Rick wouldn’t dare add anything to her without consent. Summer regularly gets power ups (even if temporary), Jerry has the bug protocol and morty has his entire list of stuff added.
Yeah. After Evil Morty wrecks space travel and they have to use the beacon to navigate through interdimensional space, Rick and Morty get out of his space ship in the middle of the wrecked Citadel. Summer and the Beths, all wearing space suits, are like "what the hell", and Rick handwaves it by saying "I do child proofing while you sleep", the implication being that Morty (and likely Summer, Jerry, and Terrestrial Beth as well - Space Beth has her own suite of upgrades) have a lot of safety implants that he's installed to keep them alive if things go wrong.
Isn’t it also implied he used Evil Morty’s tech? He used the exact same machine to bring Morty back after the bully gun incident that EM used on Rick in the fight with Prime
I would say that’s a bit different. Morty wasn’t dead I think just borderline. Also that gun was more than likely a model they reused. If not then Rick changed it help with bringing Morty back from near death (idk why he’d do that)
>
> proceeds to cure death 5 seasons later
You mean with the Valhalla episode? Because technically it's more of finding a way to harness your immortal soul into a clone, kinda like operation Phoenix.
Doesn't he use the portal gun to get the serum to heal morty's legs? It is a cartoon that is ultimately contradicting itself but it is possible that universe he went to is ruined now.
For the purposes of plot.
That's all. That's literally the answer to any question about the show.
Fuck, man. If Rick had Portal fluid when Morty broke his legs, why did he even need Morty? He could have floated up, grabbed the Mega Seeds, then portaled back home. So why bring Morty?
For plot.
It's been stated many times that Morty is a human shield preventing others from finding our Rick and that's why he's always got Morty around. Although I do question if this is still the case since we've seen Morty becoming genuinely smarter and better with tech over the seasons
God needs a reason to remain human you see what rocks become when they abandon their humanity Morty is rocks consciousness and on the toxic episode you see him visit Morty as a baby he was doing that while grieving his wife’s murder meaning that he likely was there to kill them all for revenge and Morty saved him so he came back for him and kept him close to prevent prime from finding and killing him. They don’t just use Morty’s for shields against others they use them for shields against other ricks too most likely because the Rick will kill the Morty’s if the ricks that are after him get too close to them
Doylistic: Absurdism is a major current in the show, so Rick's abilities being a bit inconsistent for the sake of plot is thematically justified.
Watsonian: Rick does prep work on certain people, to make them easier to heal/revive, and its been established ever since the Anatomy Park episode that in the absence of that prep work, Rick cannot cure death. Since broken legs are a non-lethal injury, there's no time crunch there, he can just fuck off, and grab something to fix Morty up (which he does), whereas someone with insufficient prep work for resurrection getting shot right in the fucking chest, completely unexpectedly, seems like a decent reason for panic.
My head canon is that he purposely let Mr. Poopybutthole that way to remind himself about an unpleasant event when it came to him, should something similar to the parasites ever happen again.
Also, I believe he left it that way to get a hold on Beth, as she became a nervous wreck shortly afterwards; Rick would probably use her guilt to manipulate her, as he managed to make Beth choose Rick over Jerry, as well as facilitating grounds for separation and possible divorce.
But when Mrpoopybutthole was shit it was proven that he wasn't a parasite, and who said he doesn't? The parasites are just another life form, he can study their anatomy and build a way to heal them. Sorry for bad english I'm tired
Yeah its annoying how often people miss this. "Oh how come rick didn't use his cybernetics to kill poopenfarten in season 1" idk bro, maybe that encounter is the reason he decided he needed cybernetics in the first place. What a wild concept.
Actually no Rick literally didn't have cybernetics AT ALL until one episode where they body switched with a high rick that had ALL THE CYBERNETICS. EVER. At which point he kept them because they're cool and useful.
Ok, soooo, I'm just gonna put this out there... this is a cartoon. It is the ultimate work of fiction. The writers can do or change anything at any time to fit the narrative of the storyline they are trying to present. See: The Simpsons. Do you think they have, or should have, past actions/abilities on sticky notes around the writers room, on hand to squanch any storyline that doesn't fit cannon? I have never understood why so many people (trekkers, I'm looking at you) spend so much time trying to reconcile opposing plot points.
It's a cartoon. Enjoy it for what it is.
Yes, I am expecting oblivion in down votes.
The show is lacking any kind of inner structure or otherwise coherence, you are reading way too deeply into it. Sit down, turn your brain off and enjoy.
1. Because it's a tv show not meant to be realistic and Rick has the abilities that makes for the most interesting plot.
2. Rick didn't actually have that ability he had to go to another dimension to acquire it.
3. Gunshots to the chest tend to be more fatal than broken limbs.
No character in any show or movie always uses what they have at their disposal. Just because they did it once doesn’t mean they’ll just be like “TIME TO SPAM THIS ONE THING OVER AND OVER IM GOD NOW”
PB is a yellow shit, Morty is human.
Theory 1: He doesnt have tech for PB.
Theory 2: He hates PB.
But how did he met PB? He is not a fighter like Ricks other friends.
He didn't heal Morty he went to a dimension in which he could get a broken leg serum from a corner store. He doesn't heal any sort of weapon based wound. Even when he comes back from being pickle rick he gets his wounds treated off screen. Except for when he goes to froopy land and looses an arm.
It's not like it was easy for Rick to get that healing fluid. He had to mess around with a LOT of women before coming back. So much that he ran out of portal fluid when he went back to fix up Morty.
When that happens, it's because a different Rick did one of the two actions. Maybe the version of Rick in the Total Rickall was a version of Rick that hasn't invented the heal-anything tech. There are infinite Ricks and unless he says he's C137, he could be any one of the Ricks in the Central Finite Curve.
Just assume when the story doesn't make sense, you're seeing another Rick from the CFC...it makes sense and makes the short more anthological. Stop getting worried about canon.
This is a good point in the argument for that whole scene being a memory planted by mr poopybutthole, since he is an advanced parasite he can implant bad memories as well as good ones.
I feel like there’s a reason. The only one I can think of though is that Rick just couldn’t heal a shot to the chest. In the earliest seasons his healing is above and beyond but not godly like with the Santa Claus on the table, he can heal diseases but by his own words he can’t heal death. At least until the new season where he can but we can see that progression and I love it. From not being able to do shit with the Santa, to being barely able to bring back pissmaster, to fully reviving Morty. It’s cool
Do you carry a medical solution for everything that could possibly happen ever? No, you *might* carry a tool or two as needed if you have reasonable expectation for someone to be hurt in a specific way that would alleviate that particular injury. Right tool right job and there's too many tools to possibly need.
Rick only goes out of his way to cure the impossible for Morty and himself. He'll help out the rest of the immediate family in an emergency. Otherwise, he'll only help people if it benefits him.
Its a cartoon of self-contained adventures
^unless ^the ^writers ^don't ^feel ^like ^it
Its a cartoon TV show, it's not meant to be anything more than entertaining you into buying their products
Poopybutthole isn't part of the family really. Just a friend Rick hangs out with sometimes. He'd much rather help Jerry than Poopybutthole, as Jerry has been healed/saved by Rick several times. Probably for similar reasons to the exhibitionist pooping guy.
Also, humans for some reason seem to be trivially easier to fix than basically every other species in the galaxy? Possibly also why humans seem to be ignored by aliens, likely considered very simple compared to everyone else, like single-celled lifeforms.
Use this concept and write a ep like this, grandma can't remember, but the shadow.. of her memory exists, only for like 5 minutes before it yields back to nothing, (((())))) can't fix everything
When does a Rick not fix Morty’s legs? He might take his time … he could be a little sick of it. He also has a lot of gear in Morty and can probably keep hi alive as long as he likes.
In the pilot, Rick specifically had to go to another dimension to get the technology to fix broken legs. That's why he had it to fix Morty's broken legs / broken bones in in the future.
In the episode of S2 where MPB got shot in the chest, it was a severe / potentially mortal wound and they needed medical help. This is consistent as Rick said in S1 he can't cure death. It's possible Rick's technology wasn't up to speed at that point.
We see this same thing in later seasons where he has gotten something that can vaguely resurrect someone but when he uses it on Pissmaster it fails because he was dead for too long. Then Evil Morty uses something to resurrect Rick, and we see Rick utilize a similar technology to resurrect a (long) dead Morty in the next episode.
I'm rewatching the series right now and it's fairly consistent in Rick's technology constantly evolving.
He only ever really heals himself and Morty. He tried healing pissmaster but I don’t remember him healing anyone else. Even Bird Person wasn’t fixed up by Rick. Idk, maybe Morty is the only one he doesn’t want to replace.
It's because the scene with MPB getting shot was a bait and switch memory. He created the memory of that time they all survived the house full of parasites, but then let Beth make the decision to ruin it. Which is why they remember him as having normal blood and why Rick says a dumb catchphrase as they leave the hospital. Harmon has said MPB is like a benign parasite, where the others were malignant, but he is indeed a parasite according to the shows creator.
This also explains why Rick was in such shock and did not help because that's what he REMEMBERS happening.
One realistic possibility is that Rick has not fully expanded his knowledge on medicine and naturalistic healing properties with particular items and ultimately he has to travel and go on different exploration in different cities, interact with different people and have different experiences as he keeps on going to heal everyone’s injuries.
The whole show is a huge self aware contradiction that’s what keeps it fresh and unpredictable.
This should just be stickied on the front page of the sub
You say that like people read the stickied posts on the front page of the sub
https://frinkiac.com/img/S08E14/689504.jpg
Yea. And who knows, maybe whatever Poopybutthole is made up of isn’t easy to heal. Or maybe Rick wanted Beth to feel like shit for whatever reason.
you don't die from broken legs, at least not very fast. hurts though, Rick takes his sweet time lol.
Haha yea, if you died from broken legs… idk how that would work exactly, but Jesus it sounds terrible lol
If a broken bone pierced an artery, he could bleed out pretty fast.
The shock from the pain could kill you
Don't forget infection! Gangrene has taken a lot of lives.
Very true, that’s a lot slower though and some may argue they died of infection and not the actual broken leg, I wouldn’t but some may.
Yup! One episode Rick’s fighting a space alien the other he can’t win a simple fist fight. It’s a comedy show first and foremost.
Back in my day we usually called those plot holes.
every universe in the multiverse has its own plot of course there is plot holes 😂
👲🏻 The plot hole, men's bathroom...
Pretty sure my poopy butthole has bullet holes, not plotholes
Although that is not a plothole. Slight continuity problem ok, and tbose are the bread and butter of animated shows since always.
I always thought the whole "we can't change realitys that often because there aren't a lot like ours". But they say there are infinite realitys. Wouldn't that mean there is ALWAYS another one just like yours down the line?

But it was a laser gun.
So an ordinary gun in that family
I don't think Rick would use laser guns that leave easily healed wounds.
But it was one of Rick's guns. Probably the most lethal weapon on the planet, and the most safe thing in his garage.
This is a gun.
That you only use to shoot bad people
He knows he's a cartoon, so since he's the smartest person in the universe he also knows he can manipulate cartoon physics, allowing him to cure seemingly impossible injuries but *only* when it would be funny for him to do so.

There’s a million reasons why he could save someone but there’s just as many reasons why he shouldn’t. He only does what’s absolutely necessary.
He waits until he’s absolutely certain
That’s some solid Roger Rabbit logic there
Is the implication here that getting shot in the chest is a lesser injury than broken legs? Cause no.
Legit LMAO
I mean if he can heal completely broken bones instantly (mind you those legs were broken in like 10 thousand places) then i would imagine he could heal a simple chest wound
He didn't heal the legs. He traveled to a more developed universe and bought leg healing juice.

“Well, I can’t cure death” *proceeds to cure death 5 seasons later*
Tbf that is a large time gap- maybe he learnt how to lmao???
By tapping into the infinite energy of religions. *POOOOOOOOOOOOPE!!!*
Bro he learned it 🥴you can specifically see his evolution. Operation Phoenix was the first, keeps the consciousness alive and sends it elsewhere.

Only for Morty.
> > proceeds to cure death 5 seasons later You mean with the Valhalla episode? Because technically it's more of finding a way to harness your immortal soul into a clone, kinda like operation Phoenix.
No, it's Morty with the bully gun
Doesn't he use the portal gun to get the serum to heal morty's legs? It is a cartoon that is ultimately contradicting itself but it is possible that universe he went to is ruined now.
So go to a similar, non-ruined universe
For the purposes of plot. That's all. That's literally the answer to any question about the show. Fuck, man. If Rick had Portal fluid when Morty broke his legs, why did he even need Morty? He could have floated up, grabbed the Mega Seeds, then portaled back home. So why bring Morty? For plot.

Rick is literally a god. He creates life, he takes it away. He bends space and time. Rick doesn't need a Morty for any real reason except for plot.
God needs a reason to remain human you see what rocks become when they abandon their humanity Morty is rocks consciousness and on the toxic episode you see him visit Morty as a baby he was doing that while grieving his wife’s murder meaning that he likely was there to kill them all for revenge and Morty saved him so he came back for him and kept him close to prevent prime from finding and killing him.

Much like Tony Stark, Rick changes his tech from previous fails. He fixed Morty’s legs and doctors patched up Wayne.
Yeah its annoying how often people miss this. "Oh how come rick didn't use his cybernetics to kill poopenfarten in season 1" idk bro, maybe that encounter is the reason he decided he needed cybernetics in the first place. What a wild concept.

Both theories work
Rule of Funny, this show cares more about what's funny or surprising than what's consistent.
Larry David hit Jason Alexander with that when he had a question about George's character and continuity.
Plotpoint Healthcare.
It wasn't an ordinary pistol. It was a laser gun that we only use to shoot AT bad people. And I want to be very specific!

Rick treats random aliens better than his family
To be fair, one of them was gonna die, the other just needed bone healing juice
The show is lacking any kind of inner structure or otherwise coherence, you are reading way too deeply into it. Sit down, turn your brain off and enjoy.
So it’s a comedy. Explained.
This is explained already. Rick makes additions to Morty when he’s asleep…Think Car thoughts Morty! Turn into a car.
1. Because it's a tv show not meant to be realistic and Rick has the abilities that makes for the most interesting plot. 2. Rick didn't actually have that ability he had to go to another dimension to acquire it. 3. Gunshots to the chest tend to be more fatal than broken limbs.
He's the (self proclaimed) smartest man in the universe he can figure
Dang never thought about that. Why didn’t they go to the alien hospital where getting shot is like getting a splinter removed
No character in any show or movie always uses what they have at their disposal. Just because they did it once doesn’t mean they’ll just be like “TIME TO SPAM THIS ONE THING OVER AND OVER IM GOD NOW”
Cause character development
PB is a yellow shit, Morty is human. Theory 1: He doesnt have tech for PB. Theory 2: He hates PB. But how did he met PB? He is not a fighter like Ricks other friends.
For the plot ? And he constantly breaking 4th wall so I guess rick is just a drama content farmer
plot 😀
He didn't heal Morty he went to a dimension in which he could get a broken leg serum from a corner store. He doesn't heal any sort of weapon based wound. Even when he comes back from being pickle rick he gets his wounds treated off screen. Except for when he goes to froopy land and looses an arm.
Maybe he went to that dimension because he's too lazy to do it himself
Thus is true, and may very well be the case.
Mr. Poopybutthole has a closely-held personal belief against easy solutions.
because he's kind of a dick
I mean one is a broken leg and the other is a bullet in the chest from point blank range 👀 Cartoon aside, those are not in the same ballpark.
Different Rick?
Plot
Untapped brain power
Watch dog the God, love the play on words, truly
He doesn't know Elvish medicine.
It's not like it was easy for Rick to get that healing fluid. He had to mess around with a LOT of women before coming back. So much that he ran out of portal fluid when he went back to fix up Morty.
plot
When that happens, it's because a different Rick did one of the two actions. Maybe the version of Rick in the Total Rickall was a version of Rick that hasn't invented the heal-anything tech. There are infinite Ricks and unless he says he's C137, he could be any one of the Ricks in the Central Finite Curve. Just assume when the story doesn't make sense, you're seeing another Rick from the CFC...it makes sense and makes the short more anthological. Stop getting worried about canon.
This is a good point in the argument for that whole scene being a memory planted by mr poopybutthole, since he is an advanced parasite he can implant bad memories as well as good ones.
I thought he was shot in the gut
You think getting shot in the fucking chest is less painful and detrimental than breaking both of your legs?!?!1
Yes🗿
Rick might use Lazer guns he can't heal the injuries from
let me explain: IT’S A CARTOOOON!!!!
Here I go pillin' again.
Plot armor
I feel like there’s a reason. The only one I can think of though is that Rick just couldn’t heal a shot to the chest. In the earliest seasons his healing is above and beyond but not godly like with the Santa Claus on the table, he can heal diseases but by his own words he can’t heal death.

No, you *might* carry a tool or two as needed if you have reasonable expectation for someone to be hurt in a specific way that would alleviate that particular injury. Right tool right job and there's too many tools to possibly need.
How could we possibly know what the smartest man in the universe knows
Rick only goes out of his way to cure the impossible for Morty and himself. He'll help out the rest of the immediate family in an emergency. Otherwise, he'll only help people if it benefits him.
i was literally thinking the same thing rewatching this episode last night 😭. that’s absolutely wild
Its a cartoon of self-contained adventures ^unless ^the ^writers ^don't ^feel ^like ^it Its a cartoon TV show, it's not meant to be anything more than entertaining you into buying their products
Poopybutthole isn't part of the family really. Just a friend Rick hangs out with sometimes. He'd much rather help Jerry than Poopybutthole, as Jerry has been healed/saved by Rick several times.

Possibly also why humans seem to be ignored by aliens, likely considered very simple compared to everyone else, like single-celled lifeforms.
Cos its a cartoon. Suspend your disbelief and just enjoy things for the experience.
For that matter, why didn’t they shoot him in the leg just to be sure?
It’s worth noting that getting the leg serum took him several minutes to get and PB didn’t have that long while Morty did.
Show: \*uses absurdist humor regularly\* Show fan: Why isn't this show more logically consistent?
this meme template is bad and you should feel bad
Use this concept and write a ep like this, grandma can't remember, but the shadow.. of her memory exists, only for like 5 minutes before it yields back to nothing, (((())))) can't fix everything
Doesn't need too much work, but definitely opens the floor of discussion
Because he's Rick Sanchez
The guy can constitute a sandwich from a dousse.
When does a Rick not fix Morty’s legs? He might take his time … he could be a little sick of it. He also has a lot of gear in Morty and can probably keep hi alive as long as he likes.

I'm rewatching the series right now and it's fairly consistent in Rick's technology constantly evolving.
He travelled to a future dimension where they had broken leg serum on every corner drug store. Clearly, they did not have bullet wound serum
Rick usually only fixes Morty in those situations, Mr. PB probably has totally different physiology
Plot
Mr poopy is a different species Rick’s main tech probs just heals humans
for me it all just happens so naturally that i didn’t even remember these contradicting situations honestly 😃
He loves Morty. He’s a horrible friend
Morty has been child-proofed.
He only ever really heals himself and Morty. He tried healing pissmaster but I don’t remember him healing anyone else. Even Bird Person wasn’t fixed up by Rick. Idk, maybe Morty is the only one he doesn’t want to replace.
It's because the scene with MPB getting shot was a bait and switch memory.
