It looks like Rick really cares about Morty, since he carried his picture with him. In addition, it is clear that Rick has changed, it seems to me that before he would have jumped into the pit without hesitation to see Diana, but then he just changed his mind, gathered himself.
Editing to music to show that Morty has turned into Jerry is like fire.
A great series came out, it was written by the same author as the series about spaghetti. I hope in the future we will see other episodes of her authorship.
@DJentnya: I had the same thought when Rick took the photo out of his wallet. At that moment, the light blinked twice in the toilet, exactly the same as in the moments when Morty reached his fear in the pit
A gorgeous season finale, at some point I thought that the rest of the series would be about Rick and Diana, but it turned out much better.
All these attempts to get out of the hole, a montage of Morty who is afraid of becoming Jerry, top 5 things about Jessica, a speech about happiness, a photo of Morty at Rick's... in general, one of the best episodes.
The season as a whole is also great - this episode, the series with evil Morty, and about spaghetti in the top 3. Well, with Bigfoot, the last one is good.
P.s. asshole after the credits as usual, but the wife seemed to suspect something
@ChrisRedfield: I rather suspected, I saw a photo where that asshole was holding a fork in one hand and a knife in the other. And this asshole (from the portal), when he sat down at the table, on the contrary, held them. That's probably why I'm suspicious right away
I can't tell you the timecode anymore, but somewhere in the middle of the episode, where Rick chats with Diane before bursting into the theater to Morty) they discuss the ending of the series in their universes
@luvrok: or Morty has never been in the hole, and this is Rick's fear, because when the dude boarded their ship, he said that one of the fears was already with them.
Damn, from the very moment Morty jumped into the hole to the end, I thought he jumped there alone, but time after time the series convinced me otherwise. And I believed it. But it's nice to find out in the end that I was right from the beginning. If we don't have a turnaround in 3 seasons with Homer in a coma (for those who fumble))
It was a very good season, there were just a minimum of passing episodes And the ending is great Morty accepted his fear, although in fact there is no need to be afraid anymore, judging by Rick's behavior at the very end After all, someone who is ready to replace you at any moment is unlikely to carry your photo with him
To sum up the whole season in one word - reflection. It was good, maybe one of the best seasons, with a return to classic adventures. I can't help but think that the authors are preparing to say goodbye to their brainchild, because it has been going on for a good 10 years.
The finale is good. I cried in places. Until next season
At first I thought that Morty's main fear was Rick's death. It was a great episode, it flew by in one breath, otherwise it was getting boring in previous episodes.
P.s. I watched the series 3 times and I think that Rick still jumped for Morty, because he was dying and when the whole reality "collapsed" then Rick was not buggy like Diane, + his words that this is all happening because his grandson is afraid that his grandfather was afraid to let Diane go. Anyway, Rick could always tell reality from illusion, and I think he came out of the pit when he put Morty back in the pit at the end of the series.
Can you finally explain what Morty's main fear was? Is he afraid that Rick will be with him forever? Or vice versa, that Rick might dump him at some point?
And then I revised the ending a bunch of times both in the original and in the translation, but I definitely did not understand it
Although I still don't understand the logic of the hole. If Morty is afraid that Rick will leave him alone, then why was Rick always there in the hole?
And the guy in the suit also said at the end that Morty's fear is always relying on Rick. It's kind of ambiguous in my opinion
@sokobath: I don't even understand why Morty jumped into the hole on pain of death, it's not like him. It's probably not worth looking for deep meanings here, but just enjoy what you have
Not a single shot of Jessica for the entire season, did I miss something in previous seasons? At what point did the Morty and Jessica arc end? Because her presence was clearly suggested in this episode, it seems to me
@Prakop: there was a shot of Jessica when they laughed at him in the hole, but in general, Jessica's arch was closed to some extent when she was imprisoned in a crystal for 100 years, in the series where Morty takes wine to a place where time flows faster
@OPla_G: it seemed to me that there was a folded picture of Morty because this is not the first Morty in this hole. This is about the topic of "irreplaceability".
To the appearance of a photo or a wall? If it's a photo, then what's strange about it, he just kind of carried it with him out of good feelings. Although it's strange, why didn't Morty, like several other people, take a picture? Could it be that Morty was photographed, then Rick took the photo, put it away and then.. Did you throw Morty into the hole again?? I'm confused.. And, although no, the photo with Morty is different from other photos, so this is Rick's personal photo just 🥺
What the hell kind of reference is that? A singer for children? This is a real production based on the novel by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. Children put it in schools in real America. What do they teach you at school there?
There are 3 types of people in the comments: 1. THE BEST EPISODE OF THE SEASON. 2. This is in the spirit of Rick and Morty. 3. Shit.... stupid episode and the season got worse...Ugh shit.
It's a great season and this episode is like the cherry on the cake. After watching, it occurred to me that in the next seasons there will be hints that some of the characters are still in the hole
A great season, apart from the first episode with Hugh Jackman - it was a weak episode to start the season. It should have been set up as a checkpoint. Now my theories: 1. What if Rick jumped into the hole, but Morty just didn't. And Rick's fear of being left alone and being unnecessary, not accepted, was never defeated because Rick did not recognize this fear? Morty didn't suffer from the hole at all at the beginning of the series, he was just an observer. And all of Morty's fears were shown as if by the fears of someone from the outside. It is unlikely that Morty is afraid of not being accepted (he has been rejected so many times, but Rick is afraid to be alone when Morty is accepted and he becomes unnecessary. Therefore, he immediately intervened when his grandson came on stage). It is unlikely that Morty is afraid of becoming like his father (but Rick may well be afraid that his grandson will become like his son-in-law). In general, the hole is a mind game and maybe part of Rick's mind took the form of Morty to try to get him out of there. 2. Maybe both jumped and are still in the hole. And somewhere in the second or third episode of season 8, this will be provided to us on a platter, and everything that happened earlier is nonsense holes. 3. And finally, the theory of the main new antagonist is what if this whole story was twisted by grandma. And she's the main evil of the entire franchise. Manipulated the evil Rick, forced him to destroy all the other Diane in order to remain the only one and do God knows what.... That would be a turnaround.
I liked the season! We are waiting for the continuation!
@Tesh: Your comment gave me an idea about Morty's fear of being rejected.... I remembered the episode where they visited the space spa and went through detoxification. After a while, Morty just left home and became independent. According to the series, we know that the device separates the "toxins" that the patient himself considers to be such. Most likely, this is really Morty's fear of being rejected, of being left alone, since at the end of the series Rome was united with toxins.
But the fact that they might be in a hole, it would be a great twist, just in the spirit of the series.
Why didn't they take a picture of Morty at the end?.. and I also wonder why when Morty was an adult in a hole buying a house, there was only Rick standing next to the door.
The creators are, yes, I mean, according to the logic of what is happening - there's a board hanging there, a camera. And judging by the photos, people are photographed by someone from the outside - most likely the organizer - who invites them there. 🤔
I love such episodes in "Rome", where you can think after the series, where everyone discusses it in the comments, and each viewer has his own vision, it's very interesting) Morty felt sorry for him when he realized that Rick had not jumped into the hole with him ( A great season overall came out!
It's pretty cute that grandpa took a picture of his grandson out of his wallet. Because she's cringe-worthy and very personal, and she's been in trouble by the look of it. And besides, it's not polaroid. And maybe that's how he - imho - expressed his respect to Morty for being able to face his fears and overcome them. Rick probably hasn't learned how to express support and pride directly yet, saying, "yes, this is my grandson, he could, I'm proud of him, look at everything, this is my Morty!". After all, we didn't see Rick himself go down into the hole, although he clearly had unclean thoughts; or at least doubts.
After all, Rick's character has grown up a lot, he goes to therapy for a reason 😅
Some kind of difficult scene at the end: Rick ran back, looked sadly into the hole and hung up a picture of Morty.. Maybe the Morty who didn't make it out.
Rick's probably in the hole, not Morty. The hole wouldn't have known what Rick's wife was like if Morty was in the hole, since Rick is literally the only being (or creatures) in the world who remembers her.
In the episode where Rick killed Rick's prime, there were robots with Diane's (or Diana's) heads + there was something like a video of her being erased from all dimensions, so Morty should know what she looks like.
But the idea that it's still Rick's fear and he's still in the yard appeals to me too)
A great ending for the series: Morty jumped into a hole and died, and Rick found a new universe and killed Rick there. A reference to the 5th destination.
The more I read the comments, the more the thought develops in my head that the fear was not Morty after all, but Rick and he (or they) are still in the hole. Imagine if there were several episodes next season and only then it turned out that it was still a hole- it would be epic
The series is just fire, at the moment when their lives and growing up were being replayed, I just believed that this was the case and thought, "is this really the end of the series! won't there be more seasons?", but when Morty turned into Jerry, everything became clear) I denied this series for a very long time, probably because any space theme does not attract me at all, and I was afraid that it would not go in, but I take back all my words, Rick and Morty are brilliant, unique and give me a new season faster!!!)
A very powerful final episode, the ending of which can be interpreted depending on the degree of its sentimentality. On the one hand, for 7 seasons we have been watching Rick grumble, but save Morty, to which there was even a quote from Rick himself in one of the previous episodes, and, perhaps, not even one. Rick values Morty, despite his selfishness and such theatrical moral impenetrability, he worries about his grandson, it is important for him to grow up through all these adventures. And his independence is important to him, his importance in all this intergalactic madhouse.
On the other hand, you can really omit all these sentimental sides and start from the fact that only Morty was really in the hole, and the series was not a mixture of their fears of losing each other: for Morty, this is the fear of losing his grandfather and being left alone to cope with everything around him, which his grandfather helped him cope with, and Rick's fear is to lose Morty in the same way as he lost his dear wife, failing to protect him, leaving custody of him at some point.
And here a gloomy ending looms - if only Morty was in the hole, then the Nolan Inception effect worked here. As soon as the hole found out what Morty confessed himself (he said about his "top", as an artifact by which he can distinguish reality from obsession), shouting out what his grandfather would never have done, the hole changed its scenery, hiding the truth from him behind the lies of the fictional Rick, but then could not change your own rules of the "black box" (they just work like that, as a given in the series) - by pasting a photo of Morty, "Rick" gives the curtain to the series, forcing the spinning top to rotate endlessly.
It's funny that in the end, Morty's main fear is essentially what has been happening since the very first season in the screensaver: Rick throws him and jumps into the hole himself, and Morty is left alone. One of the best episodes of the season)
I liked how everything turned out. They showed us Rick all the time and occasionally took the camera to Morty, who was constantly with Rick, but not far away. And in fact, Morty's fears were everywhere. How wonderful it is, there's no other way to say it. Space Season, it's been a long time since I've been so happy watching Rick and Morty right in a row without interruptions.
However, only in Morty's thoughts and fears.
Editing to music to show that Morty has turned into Jerry is like fire.
A great series came out, it was written by the same author as the series about spaghetti. I hope in the future we will see other episodes of her authorship.
Morti...
All these attempts to get out of the hole, a montage of Morty who is afraid of becoming Jerry, top 5 things about Jessica, a speech about happiness, a photo of Morty at Rick's... in general, one of the best episodes.

The whole Diane thing was very reminiscent of the Beginning, but it's a pretty classic thing overall. 🤷🏻♀️
Morty the adult is very cool😎😄
A great season overall came out!

The season turned out to be great.
You can see the change in the characters, which is good news.
Imagine if there were several episodes next season and only then it turned out that it was still a hole- it would be epic

Powerful.
One of the best episodes of the season)
Space Season, it's been a long time since I've been so happy watching Rick and Morty right in a row without interruptions.
