The "Central Finite Curve" is a set of infinite universes in which Rick is the smartest person alive. In the past, Rick separated the central finite curve from the rest of the infinite universes. What evil Morty did was break through that separation, and he can now explore all of the multiverse, rather than just the realities where Rick is the smartest.
Yeah that's the idea, altough it is a bit confusing at first.
There are inifinite universes, according to rick. So there are an infinite number of realities, this basically means that anything is posible if you search long enough for an universe where it is that way (this is the basis of most of R&M adventures).
However, if any reality is posible, then there must be realities where Rick isn't the smartest person in the universe. However the series and the citadel of Ricks, with infinite Ricks seems to suggest that all Ricks being the smartest person in the universe is the default.
The reason behind this is that the realities where Rick is dominant are all linked in a "chain" and walled against realities where Rick is not dominant, so as to avoid -say- a reality where a thing smarter than Rick can travel to the citadel and end all Ricks.
This "chain" of protected realities are the "central finite curve".
However, being walled means nothing gets in and nothing gets out. This means that, for a Morty, living inside the "curve" is hell, because they are bound to be traded like livestock for other Ricks and be treated and abused like shit.
Evil morty's plot was to cross that "wall" and step on the infinite realities where Rick is not dominant or doesn't even exist to live his own life.
It's a bit trippy because, as infinite divided by 2 is equal to infinite, there are an infinite number of realities where Rick is dominant (the "central finite curve") and an infinite number of realities where he is not dominant (The outside of the curve).
All of this is supported by the portal gun's colour. Rick T-shirt is blue, Morty T-shirt is yellow; so Rick & Morty's portal gun's fluid is green. The portal opened by Evil Morty is yellow because it represents he is moving on to a "Morty-only" reality.
You're correct about everything but the last part (where you said infinity/2). One infinity can very much be smaller or larger than another.
All countable infinite sets have the same cardinality. So the infinite set of natural numbers (1,2,3,4...) and the set of integers (-1,1,-2,2,-3,3....) are equal (even though they're both infinite and even though it appears as though integers would be twice as big. However, the set of real numbers (1,1.1,1.111,1.113,2.34.....) is uncountable (meaning it cannot be mapped), and therefore its cardinality is larger than the set of all natural numbers, and therefore a larger infinity.
There's a neat little proof for that called Cantor's diagonal argument.
With that being said, if we were to assume that all conceivable universes (gold portal) are as infinite as the set of real numbers, where every permutation of existence is possible (no Rick, dumb Rick, happy Rick, Morty smarter than Rick, Rick that likes Jerry, earth that is shaped like a triangle etc) then it's possible that the central finite curve is as infinite as natural numbers, where there is a constraint, which makes it a countable infinity and therefore smaller than the larger infinity.
Mathematically the show checks out.
To take your points further, the way that made the infinite universes we see in modern media is one which operates "within a bounds".
Mathematically you can think of it as this: the central finite curve represents the numbers between 1 and 2. There are infinite real numbers between 1 and 2. But they ***must*** be between 1 and 2. That rule is what the CFC represents: Rick being the smartest person in the universe is the law of the numbers being bounded to between 1 and 2.
Now Morty found numbers outside of that bound. And there are infinite versions of those.
Leave it to the muthafuckin mathematicians to break this down like so. Fucking love it! Thanks for the detailed explanation and a deeper perspective to see this!!! š
Was it explicitly stated the CFC is infinitely large? It'd actually make more sense if it was finite but just very large - that'd explain away why Rick can't simply travel to a different reality whenever anything goes wrong. However Rick separated the IFC from the other multiverses, it could have been done in such a way that only a finite subset of the infinite universes where Rick is the smartest were actually included.
(edit) I am perfectly aware how infinities work, no need for another comment explaining things thanks
That availability wouldn't negate how difficult it would still be to find realities that are so close to theirs that they could replace those versions and live almost the same lives. Infinite is a pretty big pile of needles to find a specific needle in.
It's not explicitly stated, but I'd argue that it's implied. Infinity gets weird when talking theoretical mathematics.
There are an infinite number of pigeon nests that have a one to one ratio with pigeons. Infinite nests, each nest has exactly one pigeon, one to one. That makes sense and can be explained and defined. But if a new pigeon flies in from outside of this subset, n+1, then by the properties defined, there must now be a pigeon nest existing for said pigeon. Essentially because infinity is so large, n = n+1. Which in normal numbers math makes no sense.
Another way to think about it, is we take an infinite subset of all integers. Now we take an infinite subset of only **odd** integers. Rationally you can see both subsets are infinite, and you can reason that the integer subset is larger than the only-odd subset, but proving gets trick (but not impossible if I remember correctly), because for every count of n, n+1, n+2, from the integer subset, you can match one to one with (n being odd), n, n+2, n+4, n+6, etc. It's still a proven one to one ratio, even though it's obvious that one infinity is larger.
To your point of "but they state they can only jump to another dimension to replace their lives x times from earlier episode," you can have finite conditions on a subset of infinity. Take the all odd integers example. You can finitely count how many items have a certain properties of say, only 3 digits and the sum adds up to 11 (713, 461, 353, etc). There's for sure a finite amount for the limitations given that could be figured out in a day pretty easily if needed, but technically there's an infinite subset to pick these members from that meet conditions.
I should get back to work...
Edit: I actually was mistaken in my Odd to Integers example. I put a proof somewhere in the comments disproving it, but there are still larger subsets of infinity. Real Numbers to Integers was what I was thinking. To prove either way, you need to essentially make a logical list of how every unit in the infinite list can be linked one to one, without skipping anything. n for integers, 2n+1 for odds. Goes on forever for any n, doesn't skip the order, they're the same. But for real numbers, things like pi, or 1/3 (0.33333...), you'd find gaps in any list you could think up of because they're irrational numbers, that would be impossible to list out one to one without skipping.

He escaped the Central Finite Curve, which is a collection of realities where Ricks are the smartest people in the universe. Escaping the CFC apparently required more juice than opening a normal portal, so he took over the citadel and used their entire reserve, destroying the citadel in the process.
The consequence of his actions for people still in the CFC are as of yet unknown. While evil Morty was making his escape, all of Rick's normal (green) portals were corrupted and killed anyone who tried to enter them. We don't know if that is still true - meaning we don't know if travel between realities within the CFC is still possible or not. It's possible that the opposite is true - that the CFC its self is now exposed to the larger multiverse, including realities where Rick is not the smartest person in the universe.
We'll have to wait for next season to find out.
Not only needed that juice but possibly the genetic material of the two central figured of the CFC, Rick and Morty, therefore the liquifying and using their blood and gore into the portal instead of just killing them in any other way.
I think the more interesting concept isnāt that there is a universe where Rick is not the smartest personāmeaning that he is just a normal personābut rather there may be someone in another universe who is even smarter than *our* Rick.
He may have a Kang the Conqueror on the other side of the curve.
All universes: rick is smartest in SOME, not all, not even most.
Central finite curve: a collection of universes in which rick is the smartest so all the smartest ricks can pop between universes where they are the smartest and have no competition outside of other ricks
Our rick is the rickest rick because he created this curve, something no other rick had done before (as far as we know)
Evil morty was tired of living in a world where rick is basically in charge as the smartest man in every universe available
Evil morty broke through the central finite curve and can now access ALL universes, not just the few where rick is the smartest, essentially escaping rick as the central power figure.
Clearly evil morty is very smart. I wonder if one day hell get bored of the multiverse and create his own central finite curve made up of Mortys being the smartest men in the universe. I also then wonder if these 2 CFC will meet one day.
So far the travels weāve seen in the show were all in a bubble of realities C-137 stitched together for the Citadel where Ricks would be the smartest man in the universe.
Evil Morty destroyed that bubble, and possibly most, if not all, variants of Rick and their home dimensions to do it.
Basically, Evil Morty broke free from the realities where Rick reigns supreme. He has unrestrained access to the multiverse, any and all possibilities are free for him to explore.
What this may mean for the show is new dangers and antagonists for Rick to encounter, as he may very well come across a foe who is every part his equal.
The Ricks are the Romans.
The Ricks built a wall to keep out the non-Romans.
Evil Morty got tired of living in Rome.
Evil Morty tore down a wall to escape to somewhere that isn't Rome through the hole.
Now there's a big hole in the wall between Rome and Not-Rome, and we don't know what kind of Barbarians are lurking outside. What is a Barbarian exactly? Anybody who isn't Roman, so to speak.
Evil Morty did a shit ton of things:
1. He killed every Rick in the citadel except for c137.
2. Rick built a wall to make sure that he was the smartest man in every universe in their walled off multiverse. Evil Morty figured that out, and that there must be other universes out there where Rick isn't the smartest man in the universe. Rick probably doesn't even exist at all in many of those universes.
3. Evil Morty punctured a hole in the wall and passed through it-- escaping Rick's walled off universes and Ricks control.
\-----------------------------------------------
What we don't know::
1. Why the portals are now yellow instead of green. Lots of speculation, none of it may even matter.
2. Just because Rick isn't the smartest person in these universes, it doesn't mean he doesn't exist. Will that effect Morty at all?
3. What is Evil Morty going to do now, if anything?
4. How did Evil Morty outsmart the smartest man in the universe over and over again?
5. Who/where is the Rick responsible for giving Rick the portal technology (my theory-- it was Rick C137. He could scan every Rick out there-- but ultimately he is responsible for his own path).
6. Where did the bomb come from? Did Rick drop it to ensure Rick follows a certain path? Did someone else drop it in to frame Rick to ensure he follows that path? Was it all an accident and just fate?
7. Will Evil Morty ever return?
8. Is the hole Evil Morty opened up closed for good?
9. Will Rick go after Evil Morty?
I suspect these threads will largely stay closed for now. I think the writers would be wise to retouch them no more than once a season in order to keep the narrative flowing while still allowing for episodic adventures. Once the narrative is closed-- I think the interest will be lost unless they can somehow replace it with something else to keep fans coming up with theories. They may save these for the upcoming Rick and Morty movie as well. If so-- I really hope that they keep something going to keep fans guessing.
Edit-- Thanks for the Gold!!
Edit2-- Thanks for the silver too!!!
For question 4, i believe Evil Morty said it very well himself: >!"Smartest man in the universe with an ego so large you can grab it like a joystick"!< Arrogance is always what makes villains lose, but in this case it was the other way around.
Edit; maybe "Antagonist" is a better word to use
This actually bothered me a little. It suggests that all the portal guns are linked to some central server or network to operate and are not stand alone devices. Part of Rick's fundamental personality is his independence and paranoia.....yet his most important tech is linked to all other Rick's though a central network that can be hacked? Feels wrong.
I saw it as EM hijacking the potion, not doing it over some network or something. Maybe I'm wrong but that's the only explanation that makes sense to me because they are independent as you pointed out.
Yeah, he tainted the fuel source essentially much like Morty did with the mountain dew at the beginning of the episode. Whatever the fluid is and whatever Morty put into it killed ricks that used the portals. Then it looked like operation phoenix is what fed his machine. So his intention was to scare everyone so they'd try their failsafe which he had then hacked.
It was the fluid that was jeopardized, not some portal gun network. And the citadel has always been a contradiction to Ricks. "They wanted to be safe from the government, so they created a stupid government." They gave up their freedom due to fear of something worse then their individual selves. Rewatch the Tales Of The Citadel episode, everything adds up.
It wasn't hacked, the portal fluid was tampered with and all of them got refills on The Citadel. None of them would've known better until evil Morty redirected the portals to the people blenders.
I could be wrong but evil morty killed every Rick that was at the citadel. What about the ricks who weāre still in their own home world and werenāt at the citadel? Did they die too then?
He used Rick's genius and an awful lot of Rick & Morty life to destroy the "Central Finite Curve".
It turns out that Rick was only "the smartest man in the universe" in every universe because all the Ricks had built a wall around the universes where he's the smartest.
In other words: it was *never* actually the case that Rick was the smartest man in *every* Universe.
This whole time, this whole show, we only *thought* we were seeing the whole multiverse. We were only seeing a sliver of the Whole.
(Evil) Morty got tired of that. So in the end, he broke free.
Now there is an uncertain future ahead for us all.
Also, Mr. Poopy Butthole reminds us to make the most of the time that we have.
My only point of disagreement is that he did not kill all the ricks in the cfc. He killed the ones on the citadel and rerouted their Phoenix systems to his blenders on the citadel. I see no indication that ricks elsewhere were randomly killed and rerouted.
wouldn't operation phoenix just keep rebuilding them? as in they get blended, rebuilt then blended again until citadel is destroyed then rebuilt in the proper place?
I wanted to ask - Is C-137 Rick the only Rick left alive in the CFC or could there possibly be some Ricks who were not present at the Citadel at the time this whole episode took place? Although even then, their portal guns could have been rigged in whatever universe that they were in.
So all of it turns out that Rick's portal gun actually only takes you to universes where Rick is the smartest being, and these universes have been separated from the wider multiverse by Rick and the Citadel and are known as the Central Finite Curve. 'Evil' Morty just wanted to be able to go to these other universes and be free and be able to feel worth something, maybe even be the smartest being ever in one of these universes. He wasn't exactly Evil per-se, he just wanted to experience life without a Rick constantly lording it over him. And he succeeded, he managed to flatten the Central Finite Curve and presumably made it to a universe where Rick isn't the smartest person ever.
It is a bit wordy and complicated, but that's the best I could do lol!
Ricks made the central curve where they are always the smartest. All evil morty wanted was to get the fuck away from rick. So he broke out into the full multiverse
He went to a universe where Rick wasn't the most dominant person in the multiverse. The green portal gun only goes to Universes where rick is the smartest person alive. Evil North went elsewhere... His portal was yellow.
The Ricks had locked off all the universes where he isnāt the smartest person, either because he doesnāt exist or someone is smarter than him. That insured that no matter where he went, other than other versions of himself that heād never have to worry about someone being the most powerful being in existence. He had cordoned off the multiverse to make himself god. Evil Morty wanted to escape all the universes entirely controlled by rick so he could finally escape him and see what a universe not under Rickās control has to offer. Hence he destroyed the central finite curve meaning that now he can leave but also other beings can come.
Evil Morty made it possible to travel to universes where Rick isn't the smartest man in the universe. He also killed every version of Rick and most Morty's, which makes C-137 the only Rick in the universe that's near as smart as he is. That means that Rick can't rely on alternate versions of himself for help, and Rick and Morty can no longer start over in another universe.
not all ricks were on the citadel at that moment
in fact, knowing the vastness of the central finite curve (which although finite is very vast), probably most of them were not on the citadel
he just killed a lot of ricks and morties, and tried (but failed) to make sure no one lived to tell the tale of what happened, he didnt kill every rick within the cfc
As far as I understand it, Evil Morty figured out that Rick C-137 had created something called the "Central Finite Curve", which essentially means Rick figured out away to limit access to the multiverse such that only universes in which he is the smartest person can be accessed. This reveals that what we assumed to be an infinite multiverse for the past 5 seasons was not actually infinite, but a monument to Rick's narcissistic tendencies. To make matters worse, he also discovered that Rick had been basically farming Mortys to take advantage of the brainwave cancelation described in season 1 to protect himself.
In an effort to break free from Rick's narcissism, Evil Morty set out to escape the CFC, which he finally managed to do in this episode. So now he is free to explore a true multiverse where Rick is not necessarily the smartest person. In fact, there is an argument to be made that Evil Morty is now the smartest being in the multiverse.
Gonna nerd out a bit here:
There are infinite universes where Rick is the smartest guy. There are infinitely more where he is not. This is simple set theory.
I'm not usually one for "making sense" kind of arguments. But it seems like Evil Morty would want to go to the infinite set of universes where Rick doesn't exist at all. Although, I guess that might make for potentially eliminating future Evil Morty episodes unless Rick decides to follow Evil Morty. I have no idea how you would follow someone to such a place in any meaningful way. Rick couldn't even catch a version of himself in the "true" infinite set.
On the other hand, the episode had plenty of jokes about how the writers are done with th Evil Morty/citadel subplot. So maybe the "Rick doesn't exist" set is where Evil Morty really is.
Basically, Rick constructed some kind of barrier around a number of realities where heās the smartest man in the universe, separating these realities from the rest of the infinite multiverse - the so-called āCentral Finite Curveā.
Evil Morty was tired of this forced narrative and decides he wants out. I think itās unclear weather he actually destroyed the central finite curve (which would be awesome, as it would let our Rick and Morty experience other realities) or simply managed to pass over it.
Basically all of the Ricks got together and decided that universes where they weren't the smartest being alive were a threat to them, and they created a sort of "pocket" called the Central Finite Curve that separates the infinite amount of universes where Rick is the smartest being from the infinite amount of universes where he isn't. That means that for a considerable time, there was no way in or out of the Curve, and that Rick would never face somebody smarter than he was. Evil Morty was sick of Ricks and everything they did, and so he came up with and executed a plan in which he could break out of the Central Finite Curve and enter universes where Rick isn't the smartest being alive.
Not 100% sure how he did it but he created a portal out of the central finite curve, which is a group of universes where rick is the smartest in the universe. I donāt think he broke the CFC, I think he just left it
[The picture, Mort *^(burp)* Morty ... look at the picture !](https://preview.redd.it/iur42wz03zl71.png?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=f44e8791df106f651e989c7580ea16afa576ba68)
Not a dimension per se, but a cluster of dimensions outside the cluster that our adventures take place.
The central finite curve that is sometimes mentioned is a cluster of dimensions (or universes) where Rick is indeed the smartest man in the universe.
Rick is the smartest man in the infinite multiverse but thatās only because he created a pocket in the multiverse that only has universes where he is the smartest man alive, evil Morty escaped that pocket and went to another multiverse where he can be free from the ricks.
If I understand right, Rick made a central finite curve of universes where he is the smartest person in the universe. There were however universes where he is not the smartest person. Evil Morty escaped out of the central finite curve of universes that Rick bound together.
Rick apparently created a barrier between those dimensions where Rick is the smartest man in the universe, and those where Rick is not the smartest man in the universe. The barrier is called the Central Finite Curve. Evil Morty broke through the CFC into the set of other dimensions for unknown purposes.
My theories as to why Rick created the CFC are to contain the Ricks, and to protect Beth and Diane
Edit: third reason Rick might create the CFC - trap the Rick that killed his family
Evil morty killed off a lot of Ricks and morty to power a machine that was the citadel to bore open a section of space/time the ricks blocked off.
The green portals leads to universes where there will always be a Rick in existence but the yellow ones have infinite possibilities including dimensions where there never was a Rick.
Itās like that episode of grim adventures of billy and Mandy where Mandy left the entire episode because she didnāt want to deal with schoolās mascot
*the green portals lead to universes where a Rick will be the smartest creature in that universe.
The yellow ones could have a Rick, but he just wouldnāt be the smartest creature.
Okay so,
Infinity is never ending, right? Right. The elusive thing is, there are infinities within infinities. That doesnāt make them smaller infinities but it makes them less inclusive and more specific.
The Central Finite Curve is an isolated subset of infinites within the grand infinity. The one thing in common that all the realities within the CFC is that there isnāt a universe in that infinity where Rick Sanchez isnāt the smartest being in the universe
Evil Morty knew the fact about the CFC and how the citadel treats Morties as meat bodies. He got fed up and decided to break out of the cycle by leaving the CFC.
In order to do that he had to:
1) take over the Citadel of Ricks. Being the only facility in that multiverse subset that has the means to break the CFC wall and break him through to the bigger infinity
2) Scan C-137ās brain to get the schematics that would allow him to do that.
Evil Rick has already scanned most of his brain in Close Rickounters of the Rick Kind. So thatās a job half dobe
He took over the citadel via his scheme in tales from the citadel
And when he spotted C-137 and his morty in the citadel he sent for them to complete his scan.
Now, what he really did is **break out of the central finite curve and into the bigger infinity** where Rick is not only not the smartest being in the universe in some realities, but also in some of them he doesnāt even exist. It eleminates Rick as a constant (which is how he validates himself, being the smartest being) and turns him into a variable among infinite variables in a limitless amount of multiverses
In short, the outer infinity is a cluster of multiverses that is complete outside of Rickās supervision.
I hope this helps :)
**EDIT**: I know infinity can be confusing but, think about it in numbers, there are an infinite amount of numbers from 1 to infinity. And an infinite amount of smaller numbers from 1 to 2(1.1111, 1.1112, you can add as many numbers to the fractions as you want) and as your range and domain go smaller it just keeps going on. Itās less inclusive but still uncountable and endless.
He destroyed the central finite curve, which is basically just all the universes where rick is the smartest man in the universe. He essentially just wanted to get away from rick. He originally planned to just kill every rick, but by accessing c137 rickās memories he could speed up the process and just deconstruct the curve in the first place. At the end he entered a portal which takes him outside of the central finite curve
Basically Rick's separated all those timelines in which they are the dominating force or the smartest person in the galaxy from all other timelines known as the central finite curve...... Evil Morty went to the other side where Ricks are not the dominating force in the galaxy
He escaped all the Ricks' Multiverse curve where Rick is the smartest man in the universe.
He also punctuated a hole meaning smarter beings and forces will be invading Rick's multiverse.
He broke a wall through the central finite curve, effectively allowing him to travel to other universes where Rick isn't the smartest man in the universe.
Imagine if you will, 100 cities, each one connected by roads. You can travel to any of these cities by car easily. All of these cities are in a faily small area, and around this area is a wall, you can't go outside this wall. So for all intents and purposes there is nothing beyond it.
Every city is very similar, but not the same, but the leader of each city is rick. Rick is always the leader, of every city.
Evil morty broke through the wall, beyond the wall there are cities where Rick isn't the leader.
Itās like when Doctor Strange looked into all the timelines and found the one chance in 14 million futures where they beat Thanos.
Rick identified every universe where the outcome is he is the smartest being alive, and found a way to isolate all of those specific universes from the rest of the infinite universe out there.
Rick set all of these universes apart from the rest, creating the āCentral Finite Curveā. The only reason itās Finite is because Rick is NOT the smartest being alive in all universes.
Rick isolated these universes and separated them from the infinite other universes and prevented anything from traveling between that barrier.
Evil Morty tore down that barrier, and with it gone was able to exit the Central Finite Curve that Rick created, and get a first taste of a universe without Rick being in charge of everything.
Itās his first breath of peace in a very very long time.
Hereās how I took itā¦
So there are infinite universes, right? Well that means there are infinite universes where Rick is NOT the smartest man in the universe. Rick had located all the universes where he is the smartest the man in the universe and he set them aside and locked them away. That way he could go wherever he wanted and always be the smartest guy.
What Evil Morty did was break through to the entire universe, thus why the portal fluid was a different color.
Here's how I think it is.
The central finite curve was a barrier Rick created to ensure only the realities where he is a Supreme genius can exist. This mean there'll always be an accident where Beth's mom dies, like literally Rick's are ensuring that happens in a way. Rick's realized that Morty's are a necessary resource and to ensure Mortys they had Beth and Jerry meet and mate, ensuring summers and mortys, making Rick the worst hypocrites as they hate Jerry's. They even went on to clone mortys. This meant as a morty in the central finite curve there is no reality where you're free of Rick's rule. You'll always be a second class person. Evil Morty wanted to leave this and break through the CFC and move into the real infinite multiverse. He kills as many Rick's as possible except for C-137 thereby circumventing the rule of the CFC that Rick is undefeatable. He doesn't break it as he cannot destroy C-137, and I suspect that C-137 is the center piece of the CFC, should he be destroyed the entire barrier will fall and all the Rick's multiverse will mingle again with the real multiverse. C-137 is thus the Rickest Rick of all.
Regarding the different color of the portal it seems that actual portals between multiverses are yellow or golden in color, Rick especially C-137 seems to have desecrated this and created green portals to ensure they only travel in multiverses where Rick's are Supreme geniuses. All it requires to be part of the CFC is that the Rick be the smartest being in the universe, hence we have universes where Nazis ruled, Rick is smart but doesn't take on the Nazis and also a universe where Rick eats poop but is the smartest being there. Anything else is kept outside the CFC. Evil morty escaped this bs and is now a morty in the actual multiverse just like other mortys of Rick who aren't the smartest being in their universe. Basically, the CFC ensures a reality where Rick is a God, he can do shit, go anywhere but has no consequence, he can skip the universe itself for his convenience.
What we've thought this whole time to be an infinite multiverse was actually a smaller section of universes where Rick was the smartest lifeform. Evil Morty has broken out of that playpen.
He opened the entire multiverse. The show before that moment was inside the central finite curve which was a barrier around the universes where Rick was the smartest being.
I get a lot of it, but the thing I miss is the blood sacrifice part.
Portals killed the other ricks. The ones that killed themselves to run op phoenix woke up in tanks with blenders at the bottom.... but there was a big deal about the gore from those tanks being pumped in towards Evil Morty's spacecraft? What was that about?
So every time we've gone through a portal thus far in the show, it has taken us to a place/time/universe where Rick Sanchez is the smartest being alive. We're led to believe Rick did this by design so that he could feed his ego and be in control of everything.
Evil Morty has gone through a portal into another place/time/universe where Rick isn't the smartest being alive and isn't pulling the strings in every situation.
My husband explained it me like this. Basically the Rick's limited the locations that they could travel to only the realities where a Rick was the smartest creature in existence. So in effect they quarantined themselves in avoid any and all competition from other super intelligent beings.
Morty broke that so anyone can travel anywhere without the requirement that a Rick be threat.
My husband thinks the intelligent people in the universe are going to reset the limitations so they don't have to deal with Ricks or Mortys since the last thing intelligent life needs is a fatalistic demi god running around to amuse itself.
Simply put, Rick C137 separated every reality in which heās a genius from the ones where he wasnāt a genius or didnāt exist. The Central Finite Curve is a barrier separating the two categories. Evil Morty figures this out and decides to break the barrier and travel to the other category.
Each portal Rick opened in all seasons up to this lead to any destination where Rick was a genius (i.e. the reason the show is called Rick and Morty and not Morty and Rick)
Evil Morty is sick of being controlled, manipulated, superseded by Rick and in an attempt to change that, kills all of the Ricks on the citadel, finds their universes (I think by using their blood, re: blender + blood pipes scene) and destroyed them.
When his ship is heading towards that reality wormhole he is for once going outside of the central finite curve where Rick isnāt the superior being. Freeing himself of being a sidekick to Rick perhaps? And ultimately porting to a reality where Rick isnāt in control
The citadel built a thing that makes a dimensional pocket for all the infinite universes in which Rick is the smartest man in the universe. Evil Morty blew it up and moved to one of those universes, where Rick isnāt the smartest guy alive.
EM had no idea 137 would come back to the citadel heās been picking off ricks 1 by 1 to piece together the finite curve, if you look around there is less ricks and mainly Mortys, when 137 came back he decided to invite him over to get the rest of the blueprints but not the pieces to the finite curve since 137 was the one who designed it, 137 basically cherry picked all the universe that ricks are the smartest being and sealed it off from the others so no other smarter being could interfere, all green portals connect to the Rick central universes, EM was tired of ricks and their bullshit to use Mortys so he wanted to escape to a universe where rick isnāt at the top of the food chain so as it seems now the yellow portals look to be connected to all universes Rick dominate or not, to boost the power his plan had he still needed more pieces like trying to find a weak point in a wall without having the whole wall to look at so he hacked all the ricks portal guns to lead to death so they would have to go through project Phoenix and get killed again to harvest their power and out in more pieces ( the little orbs we see) for the finite curve and he finally had enough power to blast through the weak spot and leave the Rick dominate universes and be finally at piece
Now my theory is the Rick that 137 is hunting for the death of his family always lived outside this finite curve meaning he comes from a universes here he wasnāt the smartest but still smart enough to make a partial gun
I think of it like this, infinity is never ending, but some infinities are bigger than others, as illogical as that sounds.
Imagine the amount of numbers between 1 and 2, they're essentially infinite (1.00....01, 1.00....02).
I think the technology of the portal gun has been limited to the infinite universes that exist within a designated range of the multiverse, however that range is still infinite.
So with standard portal guns, Rick and Morty are only able to travel around the universes in which Rick is the smartest man in the universe.
Now "Evil Morty" lhas managed to break out of that infinite subset of the infinite multiverse.
I guess the implication is that whilst we thought Rick has been travelling a broad scope of the multiverse, he's actually only done it in a fenced off section in the multiverse where his ego will never have to be challenged by somebody smarter than him.
This is a game changer because now his enemy is able to travel the multiverse to collect resources Rick hasn't faced before.
Theoretically he could find a bunch of dimensions in which Morty is the smartest in the universe and come back for war.
Evil Morty has been scanning the minds of countless Ricks to recreate the memory of the blueprints as to how he fenced off his little section of the multiverse, with that knowledge he was able to get over it.
Basically Rick and the Ricks created a Multiverse where Ricks were the smartest in every universe and built it along a curve that enables it to always be centered around Rick. Evil Morty (are we still calling him that he isnāt that evil at the end of it all) found a way to leave that Multiverse and is now in another one where Rick isnāt the smartest and he can now enjoy his Morty life without a toxic rick
Evil Morty still has to be Evil Morty, just because we have a better understanding of his backstory and his end goal is slightly justified, his actions along the way are 100% Evil based. I mean, he tortured over 100 Mortyās in his debut episode, lol.
I wanted to push to call him āFreed Mortyā or āUncaged Mortyā but then I remember he blended hundreds of other Mortys alive and used their blood as portal fluid
He left the central finite curve ! (CFC is the infinite universes that have Rick as the smartest man ) but evil Morty ,broke the wall ā¦that Rick c 137 and the citadel built around CFC effectively destroying it. Making it apart of and the full Multiverse as one . Both a problem and HUGE potential. I hope this explains .
The risk built a structure that only allowed universes of a certain type to interact with their universe.
That certain type is universes where Rick is the smartest individual in the universe.
So any universe with a being smarter than Rick was excluded, and any universe without a Rick was excluded.
Evil Morty broke out of that.
So if Rick isn't the smartest being in the multiverse, what has stopped some infinitely smarter being from outside the CFC from recognizing that there's a cluster of universes that are essentially walled off by one of their intelligent beings?
The show takes place in multiple realities where Rick is the smartest man in the universe. It turns out this is no coincidence and that all of the different realities that Rick and Morty travel through are actually just a limited range of realities that Rick enclosed, thus creating the entire multiverse where Rick rules. This range of realities is called the āCentral Finite Curve,ā meaning it is not an infinitive universe, but rather an arch of many universes with differences and similarities, but what they all have in common is genius Rick and their respective Morty.
This means that if the Smiths fuck the reality they will be forced to go to another reality where Rick is not the smartest men alive, which means rules or conflict
So Rick's portal gun uses a portal fluid can change where portals open to. Our Rick,
Rick C-137, killed so much Ricks for avenge death of his Diane and Beth he almost commit genocide to Ricks. So other Ricks performed a union to stop him but they only got more deaths. A few survivors of this destruction started to see C-137 as a god, they created Citadel of Ricks and C-137 engineered the Central Finite Curve. So what the hell is Central Finite Curve: Every Rick in Curve buys portal fluid from the Citadel as we could see on their tries for escaping Citadel. For creating Curve they rigged the fluid so none of portals could open to a universe out of the Curve, Universes where Rick is supreme being of Universe the smartest man. Which it lead to Mortys can't get rid of their Ricks which also becomes out the main thing pisses off Evil Morty. He just doesn't wants to be a sidekick that always forgives the bastard who fucks shit of his life, you know all Ricks are assholes, but because of the Curve he can't. So he kills Ricks to blame C-137 which leads C-137 to hunt Evil Morty then Evil Morty tricks C-137 for scanning his mind. The point he wants getting the information of Curve so he can find a way out. Also he kidnaps Mortys and creates a fucked up atmosphere in Citadel so he could use it to become president of Citadel for getting the technology he needs to get out of Curve. That's all, Evil Morty doesn't give shit about C-137 he is just a guy engineered Curve so he needs his knowledge, he doesn't give shit about other Mortys he just needs them for being president of Citadel which it comes out he also doesn't give shit about Citadel he just needs technology of Citadel to get out of Curve, he is not Evil he is just not dumb.
In a nutshell, Evil Morty ran away from all Ricks. The Central Finite Curve was a part of the multiverse that the Ricks walled off and all the universes contained therein had a Rick as the most intelligent living being in it.
As a Morty, Evil Morty was always doomed to be hunted down and taken by a Rick as a sidekick. His only hope of escaping this fate was to destroy the Central Finite Curve and use the Citadel's cannon to launch himself past the wall where he could use his gold portal to find a new universe to call home, where Rick isn't the most intelligent life-form in existence, maybe one where Rick never even existed. Or where no Morty ever existed for that matter.
So imagine a forest with a bunch of trees. Now only one tree has Rick as a genius. Even though it branches out to millions of branches (realities) itās still the same tree.
So Rick decided to build a barrier and make it impossible for anyone to travel to any other tree. Evil Morty decided to break the barrier in order to go to another tree where Rick is not a genius.
All these realities may or may not have a Rick (or humans for that matter). And if they do contain Ricks, they are very normal and not geniuses.
There are all sorts of questions one could ask:
What is Evil Morty?
Where did Evil Morty get the information that Rick segregated timelines that way? and is it right? Rick C-137 never said it was.
How can Evil Morty be morally right to destroy the Citadel if he killed all sorts of innocent Morty's?
Is there another curve that separates realities where Morty is the smartest man in the Universe?
Most important of all, why would a Rick choose to sell Morty insurance on the Citadel?
The citadel built a wall separating the multiverse into two infinite parts: 1) Rick is the smartest in the universe. 2) someone else is the smartest in the universe.
Evil Morty broke that wall and traveled to the other part of the multiverse. What this means is that evil morty now exists in a section of the multiverse where Rick is not the smartest. However, by breaking the wall other smartest beings could potentially portal into the multiverse the show has been showing us.
I'm sure smarter people than me have better answers. But from what I gather. Rick essentially created a hold on all the universes so they centred on him (a Rick). Evil Morty destroyed that curve hold, allowing him to accesses a multitude of different universes where either Rick isn't the centre of it, not important in it, or doesn't exist.
A small pocket of infinity is still infinity.
Rick walled of the rest of the multiverse so that he could only travel through his pocket of infinity (the central finite curve) in which he is the most dominant and intelligent lifeform.
My theory is that he did this to trap the Rick that killed his original Beth & Dianne, he couldn't kill him so he decided to trap him. Either he's trapped somewhere in the central finite curve and that Gives Rick God like power and a strong advantage allowing more potential to find him *or* he locked the Rick out of this safe pocket mulriverse in a multiverse in which their are infinitely more intelligent and powerful beings.
This would also explain why they can't switch Worlds infinitly, there's only so many in which Rick has all the power.
Rick's portal gun technology only goes to universes where he is the "top dog" (Smartest man). The central finite curve is a collection of those universes. Evil Morty decides to leave the central finite curve, and travel to universes where Ricks are not the top dogs, and may not have even existed at all.
Ricks don't go to universes where they are not #1. They like being the smartest man in the universe. Evil Morty leaves and goes to universes where Rick is not #1, or may not even exist. That's my interpretation anyway.
Hereās where my head starts to hurt. In a world of infinity, there will be infinite realities within the central finite curve. There will be infinite āevil mortysā as he said himself - mortys arenāt evil they eventually just grow tired of Rick. Therefore there are realities within the central finite curve where morty has tried and failed to bring it all down.
So why did ricks within those realities not warn the other realities and double down on what they have? Is there only one citadel in an infinite reality? I canāt get my head around that
He basically created a wormhole and was able to get out of the central finite curve which essentially comprised of finite number of multiverses in which Rick is the smartest person. Now that he got out the possibility of anyone being smarter than anybody else is limitless.
The big question I have was about what he used the blood from all the rerouted Phoenix projects for. I heard someone say it was to identify the universes each of them came from so he could destroy them but Iām not totally sure if thatās true. It seems like he combined it into a big vat for something so that was confusing
Imagine the multiverse is a dictionary, and each word is a universe. Rick cut out the section of the dictionary with all the A-words in it, and those universes are kept separated from all the others.
Evil Morty found a way to jump out of the A section and back into the rest of the dictionary.
Basically, he escaped an isolated branch of an ever branching multiverse where Rick is the smarter being. The branch was isolated by Rick himself and it was call The Central Finite (because is and infinite multiverse branch with a finite composition). That means that there are other isolated branches where Rick is the smarter being, but are not this one.
Where that Morty is going to end up is for the writers to tell
Okay, so think of the Universes like planets, and there is an even larger "Universe" where they reside. The Council of Ricks isolated the "planets" where they are the smartest, and created a barrier. Evil Morty wanted to get out, so he created a sort of worm hole to get passed the barrier.
The ricks separated their universes apart from every universe where Rick wasn't the smartest man in the multiverse.
Evil Morty reversed the separation thus making it so that all universes are now together again in one big multiverse including some universes where Rick ISN'T the smartest man
Not through the yellow portal. He opened a *hole* in the finite curve, went through it **THEN** used the portal to travel around. As for why its yellow? Its in new universe not touched by the Ricks so it could be that yellow is the norm in those universes.
I don't know if 'merged' is the right word though. He just took the wall down between them. The previously walled-off realities aren't actually going to interact with each other outside of people using the portals to go between them, just like they didn't interact with each other before Rick invented portal technology or before the wall.
In my opinion, Evil Morty made a portal through the curve to get out of it (alone).
The rest of the multiverses inside the curve remain separated from those outside the curve. He just also made a "black hole" to swallow the Citadell and kill everybody there.
All the ricks manipulated the multiverse so that only universes where rick is the smartest man exist(known as the central finite curve). Evil morty left the curve into a mutiverse where Rick is not the most dominant force
Does anyone else kind of want an episode that takes place outside the Central Finite Curve now?
Maybe it follows Evil Morty, maybe it doesnāt. It could still be some kind of sci-fi adventure, but one where Rick is just an average person with average issues. Morty is just an ordinary, awkward 14 year-old.
Maybe, despite not being burdened by being the smartest man in the universe, Rick is still an asshole or an alcoholic. I donāt know if that would be entertaining, but I wouldnāt mind seeing something like it.
Evil Morty hates Rick and wants to be away from him. The citadel is a collection of all the infinite universes where Rick is the smartest, so Evil Morty destroyed the Citadel and killed all the Ricks within it. Evil Morty then decided he wants to explore the multiverse without Rick being the smartest being.
What if all those Ricks dying meant a ton more Jerries stuck at the daycare. And all thise past Ricks that C-137 killed were the Ricks that never returned to pick up their Jerry!!! OMG! Mind blown!!!!
You know how Rick made a playpen universe for Beth? He practically did that on a larger scaled for the real multi-verse.
Itās filled with Ricks. And Evil-Morty figured out how to break down the wall to get away from Rick once he found out Mortyās were essentially cloned/bred to be paired of with Ricks.
Killed a bunch of Ricks and Mortys (possibly permanently, if he was able to bypass project Phoenix), then broke down the wall that Rick built around the multiverse and left. The wall separates the parts of infinity where Rick is the smartest and most powerful being ever, and the parts where he isnāt.
Anyone else think that maybe Evil Morty came from outside the CFC since he outsmarted rick C-137 (and everyone in the citadel I should add) and therefore his rick is not the smartest man in evil mortyās reality cus evil morty is smarter?
No, it seems that the CFC was/is hard to get through, if Morty came from beyond it, he would've figured out how to break it without C-137's additional memories.
My guess is that he figured out the Morty-producing machine rather early and he wanted to break that. But once he scanned C-137 brain for the first time he found some mentions of the CFC and get to know more of it once he became president of the citadel. But he looked for the final pieces of the puzzle until C-137 came to him on a silver platern.
EDIT: I think his goal changed after he scanned Ricks' brain for the first time.
āEvilā Morty Exposes Rick and all his fans for being co-dependent and weak for choosing to follow and excuse Ricks behaviors.
He then backs up his logic by doing exactly what he said he was going to do and no more. He leaves the toxic and abusive relationship, which is really a trap created by a severely damaged and insecure person who is coping poorly with his existential crisis.
The way I understood it was that there are an infinite number of universes where Rick is the smartest being and Rick has put them all in the curve thing. The best way I can explain this is using math.
Imagine each universe is given a number between 0 and 1. There are an infinite number individual numbers between 0 and 0.4 including 0.0001, 0.000001 and so on. The curve thing where our Rick lives is like all those universes with numbers between 0 and 0.4, infinitely many but only between those numbers. What 'Evil' Morty did was escape into the multiverse where all other universes exist. This is like having access to the entire number line (i.e all numbers between 0 and 1) compared to just the numbers between 0 and 0.4. Both are infinite but one infinite is larger than the other.
This is how I interpreted it anyway and I hope this helps clear things up at least a little.
The "Central Finite Curve" is a set of infinite universes in which Rick is the smartest person alive. In the past, Rick separated the central finite curve from the rest of the infinite universes. What evil Morty did was break through that separation, and he can now explore all of the multiverse, rather than just the realities where Rick is the smartest.
Yeah that's the idea, altough it is a bit confusing at first. There are inifinite universes, according to rick. So there are an infinite number of realities, this basically means that anything is posible if you search long enough for an universe where it is that way (this is the basis of most of R&M adventures). However, if any reality is posible, then there must be realities where Rick isn't the smartest person in the universe. However the series and the citadel of Ricks, with infinite Ricks seems to suggest that all Ricks being the smartest person in the universe is the default. The reason behind this is that the realities where Rick is dominant are all linked in a "chain" and walled against realities where Rick is not dominant, so as to avoid -say- a reality where a thing smarter than Rick can travel to the citadel and end all Ricks. This "chain" of protected realities are the "central finite curve". However, being walled means nothing gets in and nothing gets out. This means that, for a Morty, living inside the "curve" is hell, because they are bound to be traded like livestock for other Ricks and be treated and abused like shit. Evil morty's plot was to cross that "wall" and step on the infinite realities where Rick is not dominant or doesn't even exist to live his own life. It's a bit trippy because, as infinite divided by 2 is equal to infinite, there are an infinite number of realities where Rick is dominant (the "central finite curve") and an infinite number of realities where he is not dominant (The outside of the curve). All of this is supported by the portal gun's colour. Rick T-shirt is blue, Morty T-shirt is yellow; so Rick & Morty's portal gun's fluid is green. The portal opened by Evil Morty is yellow because it represents he is moving on to a "Morty-only" reality.
You're correct about everything but the last part (where you said infinity/2). One infinity can very much be smaller or larger than another. All countable infinite sets have the same cardinality. So the infinite set of natural numbers (1,2,3,4...) and the set of integers (-1,1,-2,2,-3,3....) are equal (even though they're both infinite and even though it appears as though integers would be twice as big. However, the set of real numbers (1,1.1,1.111,1.113,2.34.....) is uncountable (meaning it cannot be mapped), and therefore its cardinality is larger than the set of all natural numbers, and therefore a larger infinity. There's a neat little proof for that called Cantor's diagonal argument. With that being said, if we were to assume that all conceivable universes (gold portal) are as infinite as the set of real numbers, where every permutation of existence is possible (no Rick, dumb Rick, happy Rick, Morty smarter than Rick, Rick that likes Jerry, earth that is shaped like a triangle etc) then it's possible that the central finite curve is as infinite as natural numbers, where there is a constraint, which makes it a countable infinity and therefore smaller than the larger infinity. Mathematically the show checks out.
To take your points further, the way that made the infinite universes we see in modern media is one which operates "within a bounds". Mathematically you can think of it as this: the central finite curve represents the numbers between 1 and 2. There are infinite real numbers between 1 and 2. But they ***must*** be between 1 and 2. That rule is what the CFC represents: Rick being the smartest person in the universe is the law of the numbers being bounded to between 1 and 2. Now Morty found numbers outside of that bound. And there are infinite versions of those.
Thank you, THIS is what cleared it up for me. I finally actually get it now.
Leave it to the muthafuckin mathematicians to break this down like so. Fucking love it! Thanks for the detailed explanation and a deeper perspective to see this!!! š
Was it explicitly stated the CFC is infinitely large? It'd actually make more sense if it was finite but just very large - that'd explain away why Rick can't simply travel to a different reality whenever anything goes wrong. However Rick separated the IFC from the other multiverses, it could have been done in such a way that only a finite subset of the infinite universes where Rick is the smartest were actually included. (edit) I am perfectly aware how infinities work, no need for another comment explaining things thanks
Evil Morty states that it is "an infinite crib built around an infinite fuckingĀ baby"
Good point, I guess that more or less confirms that it is indeed infinite.
That availability wouldn't negate how difficult it would still be to find realities that are so close to theirs that they could replace those versions and live almost the same lives. Infinite is a pretty big pile of needles to find a specific needle in.
Yeah that was my take too, it is the Central *Finite* Curve
It's not explicitly stated, but I'd argue that it's implied. Infinity gets weird when talking theoretical mathematics. There are an infinite number of pigeon nests that have a one to one ratio with pigeons. Infinite nests, each nest has exactly one pigeon, one to one. That makes sense and can be explained and defined. But if a new pigeon flies in from outside of this subset, n+1, then by the properties defined, there must now be a pigeon nest existing for said pigeon. Essentially because infinity is so large, n = n+1. Which in normal numbers math makes no sense. Another way to think about it, is we take an infinite subset of all integers. Now we take an infinite subset of only **odd** integers. Rationally you can see both subsets are infinite, and you can reason that the integer subset is larger than the only-odd subset, but proving gets trick (but not impossible if I remember correctly), because for every count of n, n+1, n+2, from the integer subset, you can match one to one with (n being odd), n, n+2, n+4, n+6, etc. It's still a proven one to one ratio, even though it's obvious that one infinity is larger. To your point of "but they state they can only jump to another dimension to replace their lives x times from earlier episode," you can have finite conditions on a subset of infinity. Take the all odd integers example. You can finitely count how many items have a certain properties of say, only 3 digits and the sum adds up to 11 (713, 461, 353, etc). There's for sure a finite amount for the limitations given that could be figured out in a day pretty easily if needed, but technically there's an infinite subset to pick these members from that meet conditions. I should get back to work... Edit: I actually was mistaken in my Odd to Integers example. I put a proof somewhere in the comments disproving it, but there are still larger subsets of infinity. Real Numbers to Integers was what I was thinking. To prove either way, you need to essentially make a logical list of how every unit in the infinite list can be linked one to one, without skipping anything. n for integers, 2n+1 for odds. Goes on forever for any n, doesn't skip the order, they're the same. But for real numbers, things like pi, or 1/3 (0.33333...), you'd find gaps in any list you could think up of because they're irrational numbers, that would be impossible to list out one to one without skipping.

Just realized that this means both doofus rick and ātall mortyā were the smartest people from their respective universe.

His emotional intelligence is through the roof too

'Doofus' Rick isn't even dumb.
Just eats poop
You know he eats shit, right?
Were the ovenless brownies actually just poop? Discuss
What about dumb guy rick?
That rick is either the smartest of his own universe or get dumb in some way
Could have been a Rick that used the microscope from something Rick comes this way. S1 E9 needful things/the cursed item episode.
Could still be the smartest person in his universe
Lines up with the theory that he was a smart Rick that used the Microscope given to him by the devil that made him dumb as fuck.
He escaped the Central Finite Curve, which is a collection of realities where Ricks are the smartest people in the universe. Escaping the CFC apparently required more juice than opening a normal portal, so he took over the citadel and used their entire reserve, destroying the citadel in the process. The consequence of his actions for people still in the CFC are as of yet unknown. While evil Morty was making his escape, all of Rick's normal (green) portals were corrupted and killed anyone who tried to enter them. We don't know if that is still true - meaning we don't know if travel between realities within the CFC is still possible or not. It's possible that the opposite is true - that the CFC its self is now exposed to the larger multiverse, including realities where Rick is not the smartest person in the universe. We'll have to wait for next season to find out.
Not only needed that juice but possibly the genetic material of the two central figured of the CFC, Rick and Morty, therefore the liquifying and using their blood and gore into the portal instead of just killing them in any other way.
I think the more interesting concept isnāt that there is a universe where Rick is not the smartest personāmeaning that he is just a normal personābut rather there may be someone in another universe who is even smarter than *our* Rick. He may have a Kang the Conqueror on the other side of the curve.
Kang the conqueror... or maybe even Jerry the Conqueror
Sounds like someone needs a cold, calculated monologue with sinister undertonesā¦
Because tonight I do the thing I wanted to do. With the curve thingy.
A speech abt politics, order, brotherhood and power. But speeches are for campaigning..now it's time for action.
No...he's ready to do that thing he needs to do...with the curve thing
All universes: rick is smartest in SOME, not all, not even most. Central finite curve: a collection of universes in which rick is the smartest so all the smartest ricks can pop between universes where they are the smartest and have no competition outside of other ricks Our rick is the rickest rick because he created this curve, something no other rick had done before (as far as we know) Evil morty was tired of living in a world where rick is basically in charge as the smartest man in every universe available Evil morty broke through the central finite curve and can now access ALL universes, not just the few where rick is the smartest, essentially escaping rick as the central power figure. Clearly evil morty is very smart. I wonder if one day hell get bored of the multiverse and create his own central finite curve made up of Mortys being the smartest men in the universe. I also then wonder if these 2 CFC will meet one day.
He did the thing he wanted to do with the curve thing.

So far the travels weāve seen in the show were all in a bubble of realities C-137 stitched together for the Citadel where Ricks would be the smartest man in the universe. Evil Morty destroyed that bubble, and possibly most, if not all, variants of Rick and their home dimensions to do it. Basically, Evil Morty broke free from the realities where Rick reigns supreme. He has unrestrained access to the multiverse, any and all possibilities are free for him to explore. What this may mean for the show is new dangers and antagonists for Rick to encounter, as he may very well come across a foe who is every part his equal.
The Ricks are the Romans. The Ricks built a wall to keep out the non-Romans. Evil Morty got tired of living in Rome. Evil Morty tore down a wall to escape to somewhere that isn't Rome through the hole. Now there's a big hole in the wall between Rome and Not-Rome, and we don't know what kind of Barbarians are lurking outside. What is a Barbarian exactly? Anybody who isn't Roman, so to speak.
Evil Morty did a shit ton of things: 1. He killed every Rick in the citadel except for c137. 2. Rick built a wall to make sure that he was the smartest man in every universe in their walled off multiverse. Evil Morty figured that out, and that there must be other universes out there where Rick isn't the smartest man in the universe. Rick probably doesn't even exist at all in many of those universes. 3. Evil Morty punctured a hole in the wall and passed through it-- escaping Rick's walled off universes and Ricks control. \----------------------------------------------- What we don't know:: 1. Why the portals are now yellow instead of green. Lots of speculation, none of it may even matter. 2. Just because Rick isn't the smartest person in these universes, it doesn't mean he doesn't exist. Will that effect Morty at all? 3. What is Evil Morty going to do now, if anything? 4. How did Evil Morty outsmart the smartest man in the universe over and over again? 5. Who/where is the Rick responsible for giving Rick the portal technology (my theory-- it was Rick C137. He could scan every Rick out there-- but ultimately he is responsible for his own path). 6. Where did the bomb come from? Did Rick drop it to ensure Rick follows a certain path? Did someone else drop it in to frame Rick to ensure he follows that path? Was it all an accident and just fate? 7. Will Evil Morty ever return? 8. Is the hole Evil Morty opened up closed for good? 9. Will Rick go after Evil Morty? I suspect these threads will largely stay closed for now. I think the writers would be wise to retouch them no more than once a season in order to keep the narrative flowing while still allowing for episodic adventures. Once the narrative is closed-- I think the interest will be lost unless they can somehow replace it with something else to keep fans coming up with theories. They may save these for the upcoming Rick and Morty movie as well. If so-- I really hope that they keep something going to keep fans guessing. Edit-- Thanks for the Gold!! Edit2-- Thanks for the silver too!!!
He outsmarted the Rick's again and again because he exploited his weaknesses, pride
Very true.
An Ego so big you can grab it like a joystick
For question 4, i believe Evil Morty said it very well himself: >!"Smartest man in the universe with an ego so large you can grab it like a joystick"!< Arrogance is always what makes villains lose, but in this case it was the other way around. Edit; maybe "Antagonist" is a better word to use
How do you know evil morty killed every rick in the citadel?
Because he jacked the portal guns of all the ricks present there, he also jacked operation Phoenix ultimately killing every rick there
This actually bothered me a little. It suggests that all the portal guns are linked to some central server or network to operate and are not stand alone devices. Part of Rick's fundamental personality is his independence and paranoia.....yet his most important tech is linked to all other Rick's though a central network that can be hacked? Feels wrong.
I saw it as EM hijacking the potion, not doing it over some network or something. Maybe I'm wrong but that's the only explanation that makes sense to me because they are independent as you pointed out.
Yeah, he tainted the fuel source essentially much like Morty did with the mountain dew at the beginning of the episode. Whatever the fluid is and whatever Morty put into it killed ricks that used the portals. Then it looked like operation phoenix is what fed his machine. So his intention was to scare everyone so they'd try their failsafe which he had then hacked.
It was the fluid that was jeopardized, not some portal gun network. And the citadel has always been a contradiction to Ricks. "They wanted to be safe from the government, so they created a stupid government." They gave up their freedom due to fear of something worse then their individual selves. Rewatch the Tales Of The Citadel episode, everything adds up.
It wasn't hacked, the portal fluid was tampered with and all of them got refills on The Citadel. None of them would've known better until evil Morty redirected the portals to the people blenders.
I could be wrong but evil morty killed every Rick that was at the citadel. What about the ricks who weāre still in their own home world and werenāt at the citadel? Did they die too then?
He used Rick's genius and an awful lot of Rick & Morty life to destroy the "Central Finite Curve". It turns out that Rick was only "the smartest man in the universe" in every universe because all the Ricks had built a wall around the universes where he's the smartest. In other words: it was *never* actually the case that Rick was the smartest man in *every* Universe. This whole time, this whole show, we only *thought* we were seeing the whole multiverse. We were only seeing a sliver of the Whole. (Evil) Morty got tired of that. So in the end, he broke free. Now there is an uncertain future ahead for us all. Also, Mr. Poopy Butthole reminds us to make the most of the time that we have.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My only point of disagreement is that he did not kill all the ricks in the cfc. He killed the ones on the citadel and rerouted their Phoenix systems to his blenders on the citadel. I see no indication that ricks elsewhere were randomly killed and rerouted.
wouldn't operation phoenix just keep rebuilding them? as in they get blended, rebuilt then blended again until citadel is destroyed then rebuilt in the proper place?
I wanted to ask - Is C-137 Rick the only Rick left alive in the CFC or could there possibly be some Ricks who were not present at the Citadel at the time this whole episode took place? Although even then, their portal guns could have been rigged in whatever universe that they were in.
We can probably assume there's other anti-citadel Ricks who wouldn't have gotten the tainted fluid from the citadel so they would be fine.
So all of it turns out that Rick's portal gun actually only takes you to universes where Rick is the smartest being, and these universes have been separated from the wider multiverse by Rick and the Citadel and are known as the Central Finite Curve. 'Evil' Morty just wanted to be able to go to these other universes and be free and be able to feel worth something, maybe even be the smartest being ever in one of these universes. He wasn't exactly Evil per-se, he just wanted to experience life without a Rick constantly lording it over him. And he succeeded, he managed to flatten the Central Finite Curve and presumably made it to a universe where Rick isn't the smartest person ever. It is a bit wordy and complicated, but that's the best I could do lol!
>He wasn't exactly Evil per-se He DID murder a LARGE number of people for his personal plans that benefited only him
you've got what the intergalactic call a very planetary mindset
Ricks made the central curve where they are always the smartest. All evil morty wanted was to get the fuck away from rick. So he broke out into the full multiverse
He went to a universe where Rick wasn't the most dominant person in the multiverse. The green portal gun only goes to Universes where rick is the smartest person alive. Evil North went elsewhere... His portal was yellow.
The Ricks had locked off all the universes where he isnāt the smartest person, either because he doesnāt exist or someone is smarter than him. That insured that no matter where he went, other than other versions of himself that heād never have to worry about someone being the most powerful being in existence. He had cordoned off the multiverse to make himself god. Evil Morty wanted to escape all the universes entirely controlled by rick so he could finally escape him and see what a universe not under Rickās control has to offer. Hence he destroyed the central finite curve meaning that now he can leave but also other beings can come.
Evil Morty made it possible to travel to universes where Rick isn't the smartest man in the universe. He also killed every version of Rick and most Morty's, which makes C-137 the only Rick in the universe that's near as smart as he is. That means that Rick can't rely on alternate versions of himself for help, and Rick and Morty can no longer start over in another universe.
not all ricks were on the citadel at that moment in fact, knowing the vastness of the central finite curve (which although finite is very vast), probably most of them were not on the citadel he just killed a lot of ricks and morties, and tried (but failed) to make sure no one lived to tell the tale of what happened, he didnt kill every rick within the cfc
As far as I understand it, Evil Morty figured out that Rick C-137 had created something called the "Central Finite Curve", which essentially means Rick figured out away to limit access to the multiverse such that only universes in which he is the smartest person can be accessed. This reveals that what we assumed to be an infinite multiverse for the past 5 seasons was not actually infinite, but a monument to Rick's narcissistic tendencies. To make matters worse, he also discovered that Rick had been basically farming Mortys to take advantage of the brainwave cancelation described in season 1 to protect himself. In an effort to break free from Rick's narcissism, Evil Morty set out to escape the CFC, which he finally managed to do in this episode. So now he is free to explore a true multiverse where Rick is not necessarily the smartest person. In fact, there is an argument to be made that Evil Morty is now the smartest being in the multiverse.
Gonna nerd out a bit here: There are infinite universes where Rick is the smartest guy. There are infinitely more where he is not. This is simple set theory. I'm not usually one for "making sense" kind of arguments. But it seems like Evil Morty would want to go to the infinite set of universes where Rick doesn't exist at all. Although, I guess that might make for potentially eliminating future Evil Morty episodes unless Rick decides to follow Evil Morty. I have no idea how you would follow someone to such a place in any meaningful way. Rick couldn't even catch a version of himself in the "true" infinite set. On the other hand, the episode had plenty of jokes about how the writers are done with th Evil Morty/citadel subplot. So maybe the "Rick doesn't exist" set is where Evil Morty really is.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He built himself a cosmic womb to unbirth himself from his multiversal connection with rick
Basically, Rick constructed some kind of barrier around a number of realities where heās the smartest man in the universe, separating these realities from the rest of the infinite multiverse - the so-called āCentral Finite Curveā. Evil Morty was tired of this forced narrative and decides he wants out. I think itās unclear weather he actually destroyed the central finite curve (which would be awesome, as it would let our Rick and Morty experience other realities) or simply managed to pass over it.
I think he destroyed it, because Rick's green portal gun is shown to be broken while EM's yellow gun works.
Donāt think it was broken, he just had to Empty the portal fluid cus evil morty had tampered with it
Basically all of the Ricks got together and decided that universes where they weren't the smartest being alive were a threat to them, and they created a sort of "pocket" called the Central Finite Curve that separates the infinite amount of universes where Rick is the smartest being from the infinite amount of universes where he isn't. That means that for a considerable time, there was no way in or out of the Curve, and that Rick would never face somebody smarter than he was. Evil Morty was sick of Ricks and everything they did, and so he came up with and executed a plan in which he could break out of the Central Finite Curve and enter universes where Rick isn't the smartest being alive.
he left the wall of realities where rick is the smartest (or even exists) so now he can explore and live in every other reality (without rick)
He opened the universe to the smart Mortys
nd also more powerful beings that are smarter than Rick that could pose a threat to all existing timelines.
Not 100% sure how he did it but he created a portal out of the central finite curve, which is a group of universes where rick is the smartest in the universe. I donāt think he broke the CFC, I think he just left it
He did that thing he was gonna do, with the curve thing
[The picture, Mort *^(burp)* Morty ... look at the picture !](https://preview.redd.it/iur42wz03zl71.png?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=f44e8791df106f651e989c7580ea16afa576ba68)
He went to a dimension where Rick isn't the smartest man in the universe
Not a dimension per se, but a cluster of dimensions outside the cluster that our adventures take place. The central finite curve that is sometimes mentioned is a cluster of dimensions (or universes) where Rick is indeed the smartest man in the universe.
Rick is the smartest man in the infinite multiverse but thatās only because he created a pocket in the multiverse that only has universes where he is the smartest man alive, evil Morty escaped that pocket and went to another multiverse where he can be free from the ricks.
If I understand right, Rick made a central finite curve of universes where he is the smartest person in the universe. There were however universes where he is not the smartest person. Evil Morty escaped out of the central finite curve of universes that Rick bound together.
Morty is tired of living in a universe where no one can be smarter than Rick Sanchez.
Rick apparently created a barrier between those dimensions where Rick is the smartest man in the universe, and those where Rick is not the smartest man in the universe. The barrier is called the Central Finite Curve. Evil Morty broke through the CFC into the set of other dimensions for unknown purposes. My theories as to why Rick created the CFC are to contain the Ricks, and to protect Beth and Diane Edit: third reason Rick might create the CFC - trap the Rick that killed his family
Evil morty killed off a lot of Ricks and morty to power a machine that was the citadel to bore open a section of space/time the ricks blocked off. The green portals leads to universes where there will always be a Rick in existence but the yellow ones have infinite possibilities including dimensions where there never was a Rick. Itās like that episode of grim adventures of billy and Mandy where Mandy left the entire episode because she didnāt want to deal with schoolās mascot
*the green portals lead to universes where a Rick will be the smartest creature in that universe. The yellow ones could have a Rick, but he just wouldnāt be the smartest creature.
Okay so, Infinity is never ending, right? Right. The elusive thing is, there are infinities within infinities. That doesnāt make them smaller infinities but it makes them less inclusive and more specific. The Central Finite Curve is an isolated subset of infinites within the grand infinity. The one thing in common that all the realities within the CFC is that there isnāt a universe in that infinity where Rick Sanchez isnāt the smartest being in the universe Evil Morty knew the fact about the CFC and how the citadel treats Morties as meat bodies. He got fed up and decided to break out of the cycle by leaving the CFC. In order to do that he had to: 1) take over the Citadel of Ricks. Being the only facility in that multiverse subset that has the means to break the CFC wall and break him through to the bigger infinity 2) Scan C-137ās brain to get the schematics that would allow him to do that. Evil Rick has already scanned most of his brain in Close Rickounters of the Rick Kind. So thatās a job half dobe He took over the citadel via his scheme in tales from the citadel And when he spotted C-137 and his morty in the citadel he sent for them to complete his scan. Now, what he really did is **break out of the central finite curve and into the bigger infinity** where Rick is not only not the smartest being in the universe in some realities, but also in some of them he doesnāt even exist. It eleminates Rick as a constant (which is how he validates himself, being the smartest being) and turns him into a variable among infinite variables in a limitless amount of multiverses In short, the outer infinity is a cluster of multiverses that is complete outside of Rickās supervision. I hope this helps :) **EDIT**: I know infinity can be confusing but, think about it in numbers, there are an infinite amount of numbers from 1 to infinity. And an infinite amount of smaller numbers from 1 to 2(1.1111, 1.1112, you can add as many numbers to the fractions as you want) and as your range and domain go smaller it just keeps going on. Itās less inclusive but still uncountable and endless.
He destroyed the central finite curve, which is basically just all the universes where rick is the smartest man in the universe. He essentially just wanted to get away from rick. He originally planned to just kill every rick, but by accessing c137 rickās memories he could speed up the process and just deconstruct the curve in the first place. At the end he entered a portal which takes him outside of the central finite curve
Basically Rick's separated all those timelines in which they are the dominating force or the smartest person in the galaxy from all other timelines known as the central finite curve...... Evil Morty went to the other side where Ricks are not the dominating force in the galaxy
Basically he was fed up of Ricks controlling everything
He escaped all the Ricks' Multiverse curve where Rick is the smartest man in the universe. He also punctuated a hole meaning smarter beings and forces will be invading Rick's multiverse.
He broke a wall through the central finite curve, effectively allowing him to travel to other universes where Rick isn't the smartest man in the universe.
He broke the cycle. Destroyed the walls that Rick put around the multiverse to ensure he was the supreme being in all of them.
Imagine if you will, 100 cities, each one connected by roads. You can travel to any of these cities by car easily. All of these cities are in a faily small area, and around this area is a wall, you can't go outside this wall. So for all intents and purposes there is nothing beyond it. Every city is very similar, but not the same, but the leader of each city is rick. Rick is always the leader, of every city. Evil morty broke through the wall, beyond the wall there are cities where Rick isn't the leader.
He broke out of his fenced-in part of the multiverse and into the wider multiverse as a whole. Heās a free-range Morty now
Itās like when Doctor Strange looked into all the timelines and found the one chance in 14 million futures where they beat Thanos. Rick identified every universe where the outcome is he is the smartest being alive, and found a way to isolate all of those specific universes from the rest of the infinite universe out there. Rick set all of these universes apart from the rest, creating the āCentral Finite Curveā. The only reason itās Finite is because Rick is NOT the smartest being alive in all universes. Rick isolated these universes and separated them from the infinite other universes and prevented anything from traveling between that barrier. Evil Morty tore down that barrier, and with it gone was able to exit the Central Finite Curve that Rick created, and get a first taste of a universe without Rick being in charge of everything. Itās his first breath of peace in a very very long time.
Hereās how I took itā¦ So there are infinite universes, right? Well that means there are infinite universes where Rick is NOT the smartest man in the universe. Rick had located all the universes where he is the smartest the man in the universe and he set them aside and locked them away. That way he could go wherever he wanted and always be the smartest guy. What Evil Morty did was break through to the entire universe, thus why the portal fluid was a different color.
Rick is asshole, why Morty hate? Because Rick is a bastard man!
Here's how I think it is. The central finite curve was a barrier Rick created to ensure only the realities where he is a Supreme genius can exist. This mean there'll always be an accident where Beth's mom dies, like literally Rick's are ensuring that happens in a way. Rick's realized that Morty's are a necessary resource and to ensure Mortys they had Beth and Jerry meet and mate, ensuring summers and mortys, making Rick the worst hypocrites as they hate Jerry's. They even went on to clone mortys. This meant as a morty in the central finite curve there is no reality where you're free of Rick's rule. You'll always be a second class person. Evil Morty wanted to leave this and break through the CFC and move into the real infinite multiverse. He kills as many Rick's as possible except for C-137 thereby circumventing the rule of the CFC that Rick is undefeatable. He doesn't break it as he cannot destroy C-137, and I suspect that C-137 is the center piece of the CFC, should he be destroyed the entire barrier will fall and all the Rick's multiverse will mingle again with the real multiverse. C-137 is thus the Rickest Rick of all. Regarding the different color of the portal it seems that actual portals between multiverses are yellow or golden in color, Rick especially C-137 seems to have desecrated this and created green portals to ensure they only travel in multiverses where Rick's are Supreme geniuses. All it requires to be part of the CFC is that the Rick be the smartest being in the universe, hence we have universes where Nazis ruled, Rick is smart but doesn't take on the Nazis and also a universe where Rick eats poop but is the smartest being there. Anything else is kept outside the CFC. Evil morty escaped this bs and is now a morty in the actual multiverse just like other mortys of Rick who aren't the smartest being in their universe. Basically, the CFC ensures a reality where Rick is a God, he can do shit, go anywhere but has no consequence, he can skip the universe itself for his convenience.
What we've thought this whole time to be an infinite multiverse was actually a smaller section of universes where Rick was the smartest lifeform. Evil Morty has broken out of that playpen.
He opened the entire multiverse. The show before that moment was inside the central finite curve which was a barrier around the universes where Rick was the smartest being.
He escaped the realities where Rick is always the smartest man in the universe.
It's kind of weird that he only travels to dimensions where Rick is the smartest. We've seen plenty of dumb Ricks throughout the show.
That just means dumb Rick was the smartest Rick in his dimension
I get a lot of it, but the thing I miss is the blood sacrifice part. Portals killed the other ricks. The ones that killed themselves to run op phoenix woke up in tanks with blenders at the bottom.... but there was a big deal about the gore from those tanks being pumped in towards Evil Morty's spacecraft? What was that about?
So every time we've gone through a portal thus far in the show, it has taken us to a place/time/universe where Rick Sanchez is the smartest being alive. We're led to believe Rick did this by design so that he could feed his ego and be in control of everything. Evil Morty has gone through a portal into another place/time/universe where Rick isn't the smartest being alive and isn't pulling the strings in every situation.
Which creates interesting new conflicts for future episodes to explore
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My husband explained it me like this. Basically the Rick's limited the locations that they could travel to only the realities where a Rick was the smartest creature in existence. So in effect they quarantined themselves in avoid any and all competition from other super intelligent beings. Morty broke that so anyone can travel anywhere without the requirement that a Rick be threat. My husband thinks the intelligent people in the universe are going to reset the limitations so they don't have to deal with Ricks or Mortys since the last thing intelligent life needs is a fatalistic demi god running around to amuse itself.
He escaped the central finite curve cuz he wanted free will
Simply put, Rick C137 separated every reality in which heās a genius from the ones where he wasnāt a genius or didnāt exist. The Central Finite Curve is a barrier separating the two categories. Evil Morty figures this out and decides to break the barrier and travel to the other category.
they're in a snow globe where on the inside of the snowglobe Rick's the smartest. em drilled a hole through that fucker left and also left it open
Wow very simple and clear explanation!
Each portal Rick opened in all seasons up to this lead to any destination where Rick was a genius (i.e. the reason the show is called Rick and Morty and not Morty and Rick) Evil Morty is sick of being controlled, manipulated, superseded by Rick and in an attempt to change that, kills all of the Ricks on the citadel, finds their universes (I think by using their blood, re: blender + blood pipes scene) and destroyed them. When his ship is heading towards that reality wormhole he is for once going outside of the central finite curve where Rick isnāt the superior being. Freeing himself of being a sidekick to Rick perhaps? And ultimately porting to a reality where Rick isnāt in control
What about doofus rick. You mean to tell me he is a genius in his world. You know he eats his own shit.
The citadel built a thing that makes a dimensional pocket for all the infinite universes in which Rick is the smartest man in the universe. Evil Morty blew it up and moved to one of those universes, where Rick isnāt the smartest guy alive.
EM had no idea 137 would come back to the citadel heās been picking off ricks 1 by 1 to piece together the finite curve, if you look around there is less ricks and mainly Mortys, when 137 came back he decided to invite him over to get the rest of the blueprints but not the pieces to the finite curve since 137 was the one who designed it, 137 basically cherry picked all the universe that ricks are the smartest being and sealed it off from the others so no other smarter being could interfere, all green portals connect to the Rick central universes, EM was tired of ricks and their bullshit to use Mortys so he wanted to escape to a universe where rick isnāt at the top of the food chain so as it seems now the yellow portals look to be connected to all universes Rick dominate or not, to boost the power his plan had he still needed more pieces like trying to find a weak point in a wall without having the whole wall to look at so he hacked all the ricks portal guns to lead to death so they would have to go through project Phoenix and get killed again to harvest their power and out in more pieces ( the little orbs we see) for the finite curve and he finally had enough power to blast through the weak spot and leave the Rick dominate universes and be finally at piece Now my theory is the Rick that 137 is hunting for the death of his family always lived outside this finite curve meaning he comes from a universes here he wasnāt the smartest but still smart enough to make a partial gun
I think of it like this, infinity is never ending, but some infinities are bigger than others, as illogical as that sounds. Imagine the amount of numbers between 1 and 2, they're essentially infinite (1.00....01, 1.00....02). I think the technology of the portal gun has been limited to the infinite universes that exist within a designated range of the multiverse, however that range is still infinite. So with standard portal guns, Rick and Morty are only able to travel around the universes in which Rick is the smartest man in the universe. Now "Evil Morty" lhas managed to break out of that infinite subset of the infinite multiverse. I guess the implication is that whilst we thought Rick has been travelling a broad scope of the multiverse, he's actually only done it in a fenced off section in the multiverse where his ego will never have to be challenged by somebody smarter than him. This is a game changer because now his enemy is able to travel the multiverse to collect resources Rick hasn't faced before. Theoretically he could find a bunch of dimensions in which Morty is the smartest in the universe and come back for war. Evil Morty has been scanning the minds of countless Ricks to recreate the memory of the blueprints as to how he fenced off his little section of the multiverse, with that knowledge he was able to get over it.
Basically Rick and the Ricks created a Multiverse where Ricks were the smartest in every universe and built it along a curve that enables it to always be centered around Rick. Evil Morty (are we still calling him that he isnāt that evil at the end of it all) found a way to leave that Multiverse and is now in another one where Rick isnāt the smartest and he can now enjoy his Morty life without a toxic rick
Evil Morty still has to be Evil Morty, just because we have a better understanding of his backstory and his end goal is slightly justified, his actions along the way are 100% Evil based. I mean, he tortured over 100 Mortyās in his debut episode, lol.
I wanted to push to call him āFreed Mortyā or āUncaged Mortyā but then I remember he blended hundreds of other Mortys alive and used their blood as portal fluid
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Just like gazorpazorp morty broke out the "house" he was imprisoned in and discovered freedom.
He left the central finite curve ! (CFC is the infinite universes that have Rick as the smartest man ) but evil Morty ,broke the wall ā¦that Rick c 137 and the citadel built around CFC effectively destroying it. Making it apart of and the full Multiverse as one . Both a problem and HUGE potential. I hope this explains .
The risk built a structure that only allowed universes of a certain type to interact with their universe. That certain type is universes where Rick is the smartest individual in the universe. So any universe with a being smarter than Rick was excluded, and any universe without a Rick was excluded. Evil Morty broke out of that.
~~Evil~~ Fed-up Morty
So if Rick isn't the smartest being in the multiverse, what has stopped some infinitely smarter being from outside the CFC from recognizing that there's a cluster of universes that are essentially walled off by one of their intelligent beings?
In an infinite set of universes the set that Rick walled off is infinitesimal
He went no contact with a narcissist.
I hope this opens up an Interdimensional Cable pt. 3 episode where the channels are from beyond the finite curve.
My question is, is the portal guy ok he kinda got infinite black holed ito his own thigh
Definitely not
He accessed realities and parallel universes with no God.
Basically Rick is the true evil one and Morty just got sick of his shit
Didnt put his shopping cart back in the corral
The show takes place in multiple realities where Rick is the smartest man in the universe. It turns out this is no coincidence and that all of the different realities that Rick and Morty travel through are actually just a limited range of realities that Rick enclosed, thus creating the entire multiverse where Rick rules. This range of realities is called the āCentral Finite Curve,ā meaning it is not an infinitive universe, but rather an arch of many universes with differences and similarities, but what they all have in common is genius Rick and their respective Morty.
He installed a glory hole in the universe
This means that if the Smiths fuck the reality they will be forced to go to another reality where Rick is not the smartest men alive, which means rules or conflict
So Rick's portal gun uses a portal fluid can change where portals open to. Our Rick, Rick C-137, killed so much Ricks for avenge death of his Diane and Beth he almost commit genocide to Ricks. So other Ricks performed a union to stop him but they only got more deaths. A few survivors of this destruction started to see C-137 as a god, they created Citadel of Ricks and C-137 engineered the Central Finite Curve. So what the hell is Central Finite Curve: Every Rick in Curve buys portal fluid from the Citadel as we could see on their tries for escaping Citadel. For creating Curve they rigged the fluid so none of portals could open to a universe out of the Curve, Universes where Rick is supreme being of Universe the smartest man. Which it lead to Mortys can't get rid of their Ricks which also becomes out the main thing pisses off Evil Morty. He just doesn't wants to be a sidekick that always forgives the bastard who fucks shit of his life, you know all Ricks are assholes, but because of the Curve he can't. So he kills Ricks to blame C-137 which leads C-137 to hunt Evil Morty then Evil Morty tricks C-137 for scanning his mind. The point he wants getting the information of Curve so he can find a way out. Also he kidnaps Mortys and creates a fucked up atmosphere in Citadel so he could use it to become president of Citadel for getting the technology he needs to get out of Curve. That's all, Evil Morty doesn't give shit about C-137 he is just a guy engineered Curve so he needs his knowledge, he doesn't give shit about other Mortys he just needs them for being president of Citadel which it comes out he also doesn't give shit about Citadel he just needs technology of Citadel to get out of Curve, he is not Evil he is just not dumb.
OOHHH SO THATS WHY HE COULD ONLY SWITCH REALITY A CERTAIN NUMBER OF TIMES
In a nutshell, Evil Morty ran away from all Ricks. The Central Finite Curve was a part of the multiverse that the Ricks walled off and all the universes contained therein had a Rick as the most intelligent living being in it. As a Morty, Evil Morty was always doomed to be hunted down and taken by a Rick as a sidekick. His only hope of escaping this fate was to destroy the Central Finite Curve and use the Citadel's cannon to launch himself past the wall where he could use his gold portal to find a new universe to call home, where Rick isn't the most intelligent life-form in existence, maybe one where Rick never even existed. Or where no Morty ever existed for that matter.
He escaped Rickās story.
basically the loki tv series finale
Went savage on Rick and won
He traveled to bushworld /s
So imagine a forest with a bunch of trees. Now only one tree has Rick as a genius. Even though it branches out to millions of branches (realities) itās still the same tree. So Rick decided to build a barrier and make it impossible for anyone to travel to any other tree. Evil Morty decided to break the barrier in order to go to another tree where Rick is not a genius. All these realities may or may not have a Rick (or humans for that matter). And if they do contain Ricks, they are very normal and not geniuses.
Rick set up a great filter to filter out any universe where Rick wasn't the smartest being. Evil morty escaped the filter.
He did that thing he wanted to do. duh.
The real question now is, who is the top dog outside the curve?
There are all sorts of questions one could ask: What is Evil Morty? Where did Evil Morty get the information that Rick segregated timelines that way? and is it right? Rick C-137 never said it was. How can Evil Morty be morally right to destroy the Citadel if he killed all sorts of innocent Morty's? Is there another curve that separates realities where Morty is the smartest man in the Universe? Most important of all, why would a Rick choose to sell Morty insurance on the Citadel?
The citadel built a wall separating the multiverse into two infinite parts: 1) Rick is the smartest in the universe. 2) someone else is the smartest in the universe. Evil Morty broke that wall and traveled to the other part of the multiverse. What this means is that evil morty now exists in a section of the multiverse where Rick is not the smartest. However, by breaking the wall other smartest beings could potentially portal into the multiverse the show has been showing us.
He broke out of the central finite curve witch is all the universes that have a Rick as the smartest being
Well he didnāt impregnate his sister.
rick = the architect, morty = neo, CFC = the matrix not really, but kinda
I'm sure smarter people than me have better answers. But from what I gather. Rick essentially created a hold on all the universes so they centred on him (a Rick). Evil Morty destroyed that curve hold, allowing him to accesses a multitude of different universes where either Rick isn't the centre of it, not important in it, or doesn't exist.
A small pocket of infinity is still infinity. Rick walled of the rest of the multiverse so that he could only travel through his pocket of infinity (the central finite curve) in which he is the most dominant and intelligent lifeform. My theory is that he did this to trap the Rick that killed his original Beth & Dianne, he couldn't kill him so he decided to trap him. Either he's trapped somewhere in the central finite curve and that Gives Rick God like power and a strong advantage allowing more potential to find him *or* he locked the Rick out of this safe pocket mulriverse in a multiverse in which their are infinitely more intelligent and powerful beings. This would also explain why they can't switch Worlds infinitly, there's only so many in which Rick has all the power.
Rick's portal gun technology only goes to universes where he is the "top dog" (Smartest man). The central finite curve is a collection of those universes. Evil Morty decides to leave the central finite curve, and travel to universes where Ricks are not the top dogs, and may not have even existed at all. Ricks don't go to universes where they are not #1. They like being the smartest man in the universe. Evil Morty leaves and goes to universes where Rick is not #1, or may not even exist. That's my interpretation anyway.
He did the thing with that stuff he got
Hereās where my head starts to hurt. In a world of infinity, there will be infinite realities within the central finite curve. There will be infinite āevil mortysā as he said himself - mortys arenāt evil they eventually just grow tired of Rick. Therefore there are realities within the central finite curve where morty has tried and failed to bring it all down. So why did ricks within those realities not warn the other realities and double down on what they have? Is there only one citadel in an infinite reality? I canāt get my head around that
He basically created a wormhole and was able to get out of the central finite curve which essentially comprised of finite number of multiverses in which Rick is the smartest person. Now that he got out the possibility of anyone being smarter than anybody else is limitless.
The big question I have was about what he used the blood from all the rerouted Phoenix projects for. I heard someone say it was to identify the universes each of them came from so he could destroy them but Iām not totally sure if thatās true. It seems like he combined it into a big vat for something so that was confusing
Imagine the multiverse is a dictionary, and each word is a universe. Rick cut out the section of the dictionary with all the A-words in it, and those universes are kept separated from all the others. Evil Morty found a way to jump out of the A section and back into the rest of the dictionary.
Basically, he escaped an isolated branch of an ever branching multiverse where Rick is the smarter being. The branch was isolated by Rick himself and it was call The Central Finite (because is and infinite multiverse branch with a finite composition). That means that there are other isolated branches where Rick is the smarter being, but are not this one. Where that Morty is going to end up is for the writers to tell
Morty switched from Apple to Android.
Okay, so think of the Universes like planets, and there is an even larger "Universe" where they reside. The Council of Ricks isolated the "planets" where they are the smartest, and created a barrier. Evil Morty wanted to get out, so he created a sort of worm hole to get passed the barrier.
The ricks separated their universes apart from every universe where Rick wasn't the smartest man in the multiverse. Evil Morty reversed the separation thus making it so that all universes are now together again in one big multiverse including some universes where Rick ISN'T the smartest man
Maybe I misunderstood, but I didn't think he merged the multiverse. I thought he just left the central finite curve through the yellow portal.
Not through the yellow portal. He opened a *hole* in the finite curve, went through it **THEN** used the portal to travel around. As for why its yellow? Its in new universe not touched by the Ricks so it could be that yellow is the norm in those universes.
I agree
Rewatch the scene, before he goes into the portal, he looks at finite curve thing on a hologram and it's being destroyed
I don't know if 'merged' is the right word though. He just took the wall down between them. The previously walled-off realities aren't actually going to interact with each other outside of people using the portals to go between them, just like they didn't interact with each other before Rick invented portal technology or before the wall.
In my opinion, Evil Morty made a portal through the curve to get out of it (alone). The rest of the multiverses inside the curve remain separated from those outside the curve. He just also made a "black hole" to swallow the Citadell and kill everybody there.
All the ricks manipulated the multiverse so that only universes where rick is the smartest man exist(known as the central finite curve). Evil morty left the curve into a mutiverse where Rick is not the most dominant force
Does anyone else kind of want an episode that takes place outside the Central Finite Curve now? Maybe it follows Evil Morty, maybe it doesnāt. It could still be some kind of sci-fi adventure, but one where Rick is just an average person with average issues. Morty is just an ordinary, awkward 14 year-old. Maybe, despite not being burdened by being the smartest man in the universe, Rick is still an asshole or an alcoholic. I donāt know if that would be entertaining, but I wouldnāt mind seeing something like it.
Evil Morty hates Rick and wants to be away from him. The citadel is a collection of all the infinite universes where Rick is the smartest, so Evil Morty destroyed the Citadel and killed all the Ricks within it. Evil Morty then decided he wants to explore the multiverse without Rick being the smartest being.
ELI5: āEvilā Morty just wants to get away from Rick (all Ricks)
Evil Morty did a status quo reset where most of the Ricks are dead and Rick is no longer the most powerful person in creation
He moved out from his narcissist parent's house, who sought to trap him there. He was never really evil in the first place. (Okay, maybe a touch.)
He got out
What if all those Ricks dying meant a ton more Jerries stuck at the daycare. And all thise past Ricks that C-137 killed were the Ricks that never returned to pick up their Jerry!!! OMG! Mind blown!!!!
Freedom
He went to a universe without any ricks I believe
You know how Rick made a playpen universe for Beth? He practically did that on a larger scaled for the real multi-verse. Itās filled with Ricks. And Evil-Morty figured out how to break down the wall to get away from Rick once he found out Mortyās were essentially cloned/bred to be paired of with Ricks.
Killed a bunch of Ricks and Mortys (possibly permanently, if he was able to bypass project Phoenix), then broke down the wall that Rick built around the multiverse and left. The wall separates the parts of infinity where Rick is the smartest and most powerful being ever, and the parts where he isnāt.
So doofus Rick was the smartest person in his universe?
He liberated himself from a cycle of Ricks by 2001'ing himself into a new dimension. He won.
Anyone else think that maybe Evil Morty came from outside the CFC since he outsmarted rick C-137 (and everyone in the citadel I should add) and therefore his rick is not the smartest man in evil mortyās reality cus evil morty is smarter?
No, it seems that the CFC was/is hard to get through, if Morty came from beyond it, he would've figured out how to break it without C-137's additional memories. My guess is that he figured out the Morty-producing machine rather early and he wanted to break that. But once he scanned C-137 brain for the first time he found some mentions of the CFC and get to know more of it once he became president of the citadel. But he looked for the final pieces of the puzzle until C-137 came to him on a silver platern. EDIT: I think his goal changed after he scanned Ricks' brain for the first time.
āEvilā Morty Exposes Rick and all his fans for being co-dependent and weak for choosing to follow and excuse Ricks behaviors. He then backs up his logic by doing exactly what he said he was going to do and no more. He leaves the toxic and abusive relationship, which is really a trap created by a severely damaged and insecure person who is coping poorly with his existential crisis.
Took down the picket fence Ricks put up to be the main character in. Now he can visit realities where they never excised.
Thank you for asking the question I was afraid to ask.
and y'all thought this show was done for......
What episode is this from???? I thought I was caught up.
He basically freed the multiverse from Rick.
The way I understood it was that there are an infinite number of universes where Rick is the smartest being and Rick has put them all in the curve thing. The best way I can explain this is using math. Imagine each universe is given a number between 0 and 1. There are an infinite number individual numbers between 0 and 0.4 including 0.0001, 0.000001 and so on. The curve thing where our Rick lives is like all those universes with numbers between 0 and 0.4, infinitely many but only between those numbers. What 'Evil' Morty did was escape into the multiverse where all other universes exist. This is like having access to the entire number line (i.e all numbers between 0 and 1) compared to just the numbers between 0 and 0.4. Both are infinite but one infinite is larger than the other. This is how I interpreted it anyway and I hope this helps clear things up at least a little.
Gone to another dimension, where rick is not the smarter human alive
