Rick & Morty Needs A Happy Ending & A Proper Stance On Their Relationship
Adult Swim's sci-fi comedy Rick and Morty needs a happy ending and a proper stance on the main characters' relationship. The fan-favorite animated sitcom, Rick and Morty, began airing back in 2013 and was renewed for a total of 70 more episodes after its third season. The show's signature brand of abrasive comedy hinges on Rick and Morty's dynamic; two characters who are diametrically opposed and yet still go on adventures together.
Rick and Morty season 5's finale sees the return of the mysterious «evil Morty» who made his first appearance back in season 1 episode 9 (spawning many evil Morty theories). Evil Morty is a character who despises all Ricks due to their manipulation of, and disregard for, Mortys.

This ending leaves the viewer with a number of questions, not only concerning the future of evil Morty, but also the future of Rick and Morty's relationship.
