Summary
- Season 9 premiere featured Evil Morty's return.
- Evil Morty's new role as Rick's partner is questioned.
- Animation and spectacle impress despite character concerns.
The Season 9 premiere of Rick and Morty, titled "There's Something About Morty," introduces a new arc for Evil Morty. However, his portrayal as Rick's clingy partner is seen by some as a misstep, deviating from his established desire for freedom.
Despite concerns about Evil Morty's characterization, the episode delivers impressive spectacle. The animation quality, a series hallmark, is particularly striking during the Collective battle and the climactic showdown in the Bunker Dimension.
The voice performance by Harry Belden, handling both Morty and Evil Morty, is a notable strength. The episode concludes with Evil Morty learning about the dangers of time travel, but questions remain about his future role as Rick's rival.
