Rick and Morty
Summary
WhileRick and Mortyhas brought back The President in every season of the series , it has been a while since the show did this hilarious supporting star justice . Rick and Morty ’s casting of charactersis monolithic , but the show usually rely on its titulary duo and the rest of the Smith family to cast anchor most episodes . Although characters like Dr. Wong and Birdperson have played polar theatrical role in some swell pleasure trip , they only look once or twice in a given season and are always supporting stars in a story centered around Rick , Morty , Summer , Beth , and Jerry .
This system of rules typically works , since these support characters do n’t need an entire installment devoted to them . On the rarified occasions thatRick and Mortydoes center on a recur persona , like Mr. Poopybutthole , the leave episode can be particularly strong thanks to this subversion of outlook . Messing with the established expression of the serial publication givesRick and Mortyroom to try out , somethingRick and Mortyseason 8should lean into more often . This upcoming outing must ensure that one terminally short - modify character puzzle a impregnable storyline , andRick and Morty ’s season 7 finaleshould make this easier .
Rick and Morty Wasted The President In Seasons 4, 5, 6, And 7
Keith David’s Supporting Character Was Under-Utilized
Even though Keith David ’s character is a systematically comical scene - stealer , Rick and Mortyhasn’t given The President a respectable instalment since season 3 ’s finale . outing like time of year 5 , episode 6 , ” Rick & Morty ’s Thanksploitation Spectacular , ” season 6 , episode 10 , ” Ricktional Mortpoon ’s Rickmas Mortcation , ” and season 7 , episode 3 , ” Air Force Wong ” all fell short of expectations , using the President as a plot gimmick without exploring his zany character . In the show ’s early seasons , the President acted as an effective foil for Rick . Both characters were swollen-headed , amoral , and prone to megalomania . The difference is that Rick was comparatively sympathetic .
AlthoughRick and Mortyseason 8 couldremind viewing audience that Rick could easily terminate up like the amoral President , the show ’s last few seasons have n’t offered anything this insightful . Instead , David ’s recur Edgar Guest character existed solely to facilitate storylines like Rick reuniting with his ex , the hive mind Unity , or helping Morty retrieve a lightsaber that he dropped before it reached the Earth ’s sum . Rick has systematically been scar against the President in episodes like “ Rick & Morty ’s Thanksploitation Spectacular , ” but their rivalry miss any urgency as it is always clear that Rick has the upper handwriting over him .
Rick and Morty Season 8’s President Return Needs A New Dynamic
The Series Has Repeatedly Pitted Rick Against The President
The good way forRick and Mortyseason 8 to reignite pursuit in the President ’s modified affirm function is to change his moral force with Rick .
