Rick & Morty Pays Tribute to its Back to the Future Origin
It is no secret that Rick and Morty’s origin lies with the classic ‘80s film franchise Back to the Futureas Doc and Marty greatly influenced the development of Rick and Morty as fans know them today, and in a spin-off solo-comic, Rick and Mortypays tribute to Back to the Future. Rick and Mortywas adapted from the original web cartoon The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti created by Justin Roiland, a cartoon series that was a clear parody, or at the very least inspired by, Back to the Future. Without Back to the Future, Doc and Mharti wouldn’t have existed, meaning the world would have been deprived of the beloved series Rick and Morty. Given Back to the Future’s importance to Rick and Morty, the comic paid a perfect tribute to the film saga in a way that only Rick and Morty can.
In Rick and Morty Presents: The Council of Ricks#1 by Jake Goldman, Marc Ellerby, and Phil Murphy, fans are given the backstory of the Council of Ricks' formation. Before they represented the Citadel, every Rick on the council had their own unique set of skills that were all needed to complete a nearly impossible mission. Rick clones were being controlled by a mysterious villain who was using them to replace important figures within the Citadel’s hierarchy and take control. So these specific Ricks came together to stop the evil mastermind, and during each one of their epic introductions in the comic, one of them pays tribute to Back to the Futurein the most brutal way.
