man I just want to open my Christmas presents well I'm waiting on you to
finish those snake costumes I'm almost done
you know what they're good enough I'm done all right let's go
all right we're landing come on man I can't believe we're almost done Rick I
can practically taste the eggnog hey you know what I feel like we're forgetting
something oh yeah thanks for reminding me Morty
next time stay in the car you... I can't believe we're back we're gonna be
back I mean it's right we're gonna be back
the space snake episode has been around for seasons it was an idea we couldn't
quite crack in season 3 we always knew how the episode was gonna start we loved
the idea of like getting a flat tire in space it's always fun to do terrestrial
things in a dumb sci-fi way and we're laughing and how dumb it would be to see
a little snake and like a little astronaut suit made for snakes you know
like what is it doing out there you know it's like the dumbest thing ever they're
gross little holdovers from from when we evolved from worms my appearance is
designed to be familiar and put you at ease we didn't know was gonna be like a
sort of time-traveling like Terminator II thing that was the thing that turned
it into a full episode for this season like we never had that before
if we're gonna make a whole snake society and go down this dumb loophole
and and do all this dumb stuff that the biggest dumb leap we could do is
time-travel snakes snakes they suck they're not supposed to have space
programs do there there not supposed to live and dominate a planet however if they do
there is one artifact of it that makes it all worth it snake jazz.hey man, Merry
Christmas welcome back everyone it's Charlie I know everybody's got big
questions about what's going on with the next episodes of Rick and Morty when is
season 4 coming back like they say 2020 sometime they've been a couple
interviews with the cast and crew recently they give us a much better
window for when the episodes will actually be done and I'm talking about
episodes 6 through 10 so we'll break it down if you're new to the channel be
sure to subscribe to get all the easter-egg videos I will be doing Rick
and Morty videos while we wait for the rest of the season four episodes to get
here so no worries and I will keep doing that Rick and Morty merch giveaway all
you have to do to enter is be a subscriber and leave your best evil
Morty theory on the video I'll name a new winner at the end of this so
addressing that season 4 episode 5 post credits scene that's mostly them just
trying to explain the infinite time loop that present Rick and present Morty wind
up creating for themselves to help themselves in the past with the snake
time travel problem version of Rick and Morty whose
perspective we've been following through the episode the whole time like even
when future Rick and future Morty come back to help them you stay with the
present version of Rick and Morty those two have now got to the point in their
own future through the course of the episode when it's time to make the snake
costumes and snake math lessons to give to themselves in the past a lot of you
had questions about the paradox that the writers created in this moment here
because they don't explain everything but they give you some clues when they
walk into the house at the end of the episode their future selves come back to
make fun of them because now it's their turn to do all the heavy labor haha we
get to go have eggnog and do Christmas stuff while you guys had to do all the
dirty work the present version of Morty's like why are you being so mean
why do you have to be a dick about it and the future version of Morty says
well you know we don't but the other versions before that did this to us just
a little while ago they were mean to us so now we're going to be mean to you
implying that this isn't the first time loop so this is where everyone started
to get confused like wait a minute how many time loops has this been through
which version are we on right now thus the paradox that the writers created
because you don't know where you are in this loop are we on the first loop are
we on the tenth loop that 15th how many it's a phenomenon like those episodes of
Rick and Morty where you're not sure if you're following the actual real version
of c-137 Rick and his version of Morty like wait a minute which version of Rick
and Morty are we following around this entire time so we'll call the versions
that we've been following the entire episode Rick prime and Morty prime the
original versions for all intents and purposes even though that's technically
not confirmed so in the post-credits scene where prime Rick punches Morty
prime in the face to sort of complete their time loop because he kind of
reminded himself early in the episode I'm reminding myself to commit to your
stupidity even more they then walk into the building and hand these items to
their younger selves to help them out then they go back home collect the books
and the snake carcasses and hand them to their past selves again then it becomes
their turn to be dicks to their younger selves as they go then and have eggnog
and do fun Christmas stuff while their other past selves have to do all the
heavy lifting now so let me know in the comments the first time we see this
scene how many loops do you think that they've been through when they get to
this moment it's a perfect example of the paradox because you're like wait a
minute when did the loop start who's the first version that did
in the very reason why a long time ago Dan Harmon said he never really intended
on messing with time travel on Rick and Morty that was the whole reason for them
putting that box of time-travel stuff in the garage in the pilot episode just as
a funny way of saying we're going to put this on a shelf and never go there we're
going to pack it up and put it away because a lot of times it winds up not totally
making sense and unless you can find a funny way of pulling it off it can
totally hurt the story in the case of this episode though I think the out that
they gave themselves is when future Rick and future Morty's start making fun of
present Rick and present Morty here they start talking about how much doing all
this work sucks they don't want to do it is the writers winking behind the camera
saying figuring out how to do time travel in episodes then figuring out
scenes like this is a ton of work and kind of sucks and they don't really want
to do it but as they say during the inside the episode promo they committed
to the Terminator parody and that meant that they had to do time travel in since
they had to do it why not do it in the most ridiculous way possible which is
why throughout the episode Rick is constantly calling out time-travel
tropes in breaking the fourth wall saying that this time travel story sucks
and he wants out of the episode but addressing the rest of the season four
episodes when they're going to release season 4 episodes 6 through 10 there was
a recent interview with Spencer Grammer who plays summer on the show a few weeks
ago where she said she had just recorded her voiceover dialogue for the season 4
finale that season 4 episode 10 because they confirmed a long time ago that
season 4 has 10 full episodes they just broke it into two halves because it
sounds like they're so behind on animation and if you're not familiar
with how long it actually takes to make a Rick and Morty episode it can take
them up to a year between the time they record the actors voice over dialogue
for an episode and when the animation and touch-ups are done and the episode
can actually be aired so if she just recorded as season 4 episode 10 back in
October that means that they might not be ready to start releasing season 4
episodes 6 through 10 until next summer at the latest but I think that's a
worst-case scenario but that gives us a little better window for when they're
actually going to release episodes before I saw this interview I'd assume
that they were just going to take the break during the holidays and then come back
in January but they haven't said anything about it since then if you
wonder why it takes so long mate episodes of Rick and Morty why it
takes a full year to finish all that stuff there's a podcast Adult Swim has
been doing with the episodes this year is a companion to the episodes with the
animators the people behind the scenes one of the animators explained that the
actual animation of Rick and Morty is so complex compared to shows like Family
Guy or even The Simpsons or South Park that it takes way longer to animate the
episodes than those other typical animated Network shows but as far as
what the actual stories of the rest of the five episodes during season four
going to be there's the interdimensional cable 3 episode which Justin teased a
while ago he was actually in a recording booth when he was teasing this there's a
special Beth episode that they talked about back at comic-con and then there's
still the big season 5 evil Morty and credits scene tag that they talked about
back at Comic Con as well so because we didn't really see that during episode 5
I'm assuming that they're talking about season 4 episode 10 this is the clip of
that I've talked about this in a couple episodes so far but they hype it up big
time I wanted to record it and think not I'm like I can't but I don't get to
record it but like it's maybe my most favorite speech it's so good it's so
good then the response it's just it's so good finale of season 4 is really good
yeah so based on what Justin says it sounds like there's some heavy
Canonical's story episodes coming up in the back half of season 4 as opposed to
the more one-off adventure stories that we saw in the first half what'll happen
is I'll do more Rick and Morty bonus videos in the next couple of weeks
