Spoilers below for anyone who hasn’t yet watched Rick and Morty’s Season 7 finale, so be warned!
For all the turmoil and conversational debates that surrounded Rick and Morty ahead of its seventh season arrival — largely centered on Justin Roiland’s firing and the pair of replacement voice actors — it was another fairly stellar year of familial strife, science fiction shenanigans, and bursts of nihilistic surrealism. And while I certainly expected the finale to be a big one, especially after episodes that featured Rick’s preconceived death by Bigfoot and Rick Prime’s Succession-esque shocker, I didn’t expect it to be such an emotional gut-thrashing.
