It appears like Rick and Morty Season 8 solely simply arrived on the 2025 TV schedule, and it is already time to say goodbye with the following episode. The season’s largely episodic run has ben stable, and I am usually happy with these wacky new adventures. I’ll admit, nevertheless, that I am nonetheless ready for the season finale to stay the touchdown, as a result of if one explicit character is not within the combine, I will be greater than a bit disenchanted.
We have seen some fairly large returns in Season 8, which is par for the course for a present that has so many memorable facet characters. We nonetheless have but to see one character I’ve hoped would return, primarily as a result of he is popping up within the intro every week.
I Will Be Bummed If Mr. Nimbus Would not Return In The Season 8 Finale
Rick and Morty launched Mr. Nimbus in Season 5 as Rick’s arch nemesis, and I have been dying for him to be a higher a part of the story ever since. You’d assume somebody who “controls the police” would hold a lock on his arch-rival always, however the Season 8 intro appears to recommend why they are not at odds lately, lending to hypothesis that they will enter a full-blown romance. There’s solely place left for that romance to go, too.
Rick And Morty’s Season 8 Intro Has Featured Heaps Of Scenes That Did Seem In Episodes
Seasoned Rick and Morty followers shall be fast to admonish me for assuming one thing that was proven within the intro will play out throughout a storyline, as a result of there is a lengthy historical past of a few of these scenes which means completely nothing in context to the remainder of the collection. That mentioned, Season 8’s intro has 5 clips, and two of them we have seen seem in Season 8.
If the scene of Mr. Nimbus enjoyable with Rick in an underwater bed room is within the season finale, I will be a contented man. Far happier than I might be if the scene of the household turning into Tetrominos or Beth and House Beth wrestling as large thumbs finally ends up being related. One hints at some serialized story rearing its head in a closely episodic season, and the others tease extra Rick and Morty randomness.
I am unsure I might put any episode type this season on the listing of greatest Rick and Morty episodes, however I’d argue this has been the strongest general season of the Grownup Swim collection in current reminiscence, maybe of all time. I can not readily say there was one unhealthy episode to date, they usually even made a super-timely reference with James Gunn and Zack Snyder that capitalized on the recognition of Superman in theaters. Now, if they’ll simply herald Mr. Nimbus for the grand finale, I will be totally glad.
Catch Rick and Morty‘s Season 8 finale on Grownup Swim on Sunday, July twenty seventh at 11:00 p.m. ET. I am not precisely certain what to anticipate from this nearer episode, given how this season has been all over, however I am excited all the identical!
