Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul aka the guy who always
comes through with a breakdown in the Rick of time and this video we're breaking down
the latest episode of Rick and Morty. The new episode is filled with easter eggs,
lots of hidden details and also some callbacks to earlier entries in this show.
Now the episode is call Final Desmithation which took me about 20 goes to get right
and this Jerry and Rick centred episode has a lot going on with it. Obviously the title
refers to Final Destination the film franchise in which characters that cheated death were slowly
taken out by it one by one. The franchise was all about trying to change your future or in this case
your fortune. The entry is very fortune cookie based and it has a company in it called Fortune
500 which is an annual list published by Fortune magazine that documents the top 500 corporations.
Nowe we start off at the Panda express with the smith sanchez
family just having eaten a delicious Chow May-en.
-
We also hear that Morty and Summer have changed Ricks ringtone to the
taxi theme due to a trend on tik tok. They say it slaps and ey.
-
It does it does and this is actually used as the music that goes over the
credits at the end as well as the shootout scene in the panda express.
At this point we watch him using Doctor Octopus arms which shoot out
of his back. Rather than using chopsticks though he ends up just using two forks.
Now at this point they get given some fortune cookies which we later learn are actually made
from alien poop. The Fortune 500 company actually use an alien who has the power
to turn entropy into fate. It takes chaos from the universe and digests it pulling
in the unknown towards the known. The end restulsts of this leand to the fortunes
inside of the cookies being guaranteed and because of this there's no escaping them.
Most of them are pretty straight forward with Beth and Morty's even being the same.
Both talk about Family time and how it's time well spent which ties into them going to the
zoo. However this then leads into the ultimate family time for Jerry, sex with his mother.
Jerry's mum first appeared in anatomy park all the way back in season 1 and from here
we cut to the titles. However here we cut to the bit where I beg you to hit the thumbs up
button and do a like comment share subscribe combo so I don't have to get a proper job.
After that I'll be hitting you with the jingle of the Heavy Spoilers show which goes like this.
-
This fortune cookie message naturally spooks Jerry as he thinks that it could
be true. Suddenly things related to his mother start popping up everywhere and he
begins to worry that his fate is sealed. I thought the taunting was hilarious and the
bit with the cupboard and fake mother was hilarious. In the end he ends up dressing
up as morty because as he says if he has sex with his mother then that's gonna be beth.
Interesting picture in the Smith Sanchez homw that I don't think we've seen before
which is stills of the first motion picture ever created. This involved a
man riding on the back of a horse and it was referenced heavily in Jordan Peele's Nope.
Jerry asks them to take photos of the white tiger which is his
favourite animal. Beth replies by saying.
-
This could actually like back to a story from a couple of years ago in which the quote unquote
worlds ugliest tiger was bred in a bid to make money. It came out with a really weird face due
to them inbreeding white tigers with each other which I feel this is linking back to.
After several scientific tests Rick discovers that there is a really high probability that
this is a reality in which he has sex with her. We get a literal dick in a box test
and Rick carries these test out with a device that looks like a PKE meter. These were used
in Ghostbusters and the way the two rods pop out makes me think that the design was based on that.
The pair return to the Panda Express and in the back see some suspicious members
of staff. One has a tattoo tear, another has a scar on his face and the other is
missing an eye and heavily covered in ink. They are packing up Meth and imeediately
start shooting. There's a split second shot where the chef pops up too and whilst the
carnage ensues Jerry's mom starts texting some things that could be misinterpreted.
Got lots of vibes of the end of breaking bad with the ship blasting away inside
the restaurant similar to how Walt's car did when he went to rescue Jesse.
This restaurant is of course also a meth front similar to how Gustavo was
running one with Los Pollos Hermanos as a cover.
It's all just one big misunderstanding though and they get given the directions to teh fortune 500.
I thought the retina scan was hilarious
with spiders going over his eyes like it's something out of Minority report.
Now at this point Rick surveils the area using a mechanical eye that pops out of his head. This is
obviously based on things like inspector gadget and we've seen it used on things like fingers
throughout the family. In Season 3 episode 5 we saw that his other eye could transform
into a target and a nice little joke here was that it made him lose his depth perception.
Anyway the area is littered with cameras and disabling all
these would draw more attention to them than just dressing in costume.
At this point Rick says.
-
Now this is a callback to Thundercats in which the eye of Thundera used to give sight beyond sight.
-
Rick ends up donning a suit and sunglasses which the character also wore in the Oh Mama
Music video with Run The Jewels. Great music video and song so definitely go check it out.
Now there's also a clear reference to Sailor moon as well with Jerry's transformation.
I love when they do little nods to stuff like this and Rick even says how they can
constantly use this over and over again if he ever becomes his asistant in an episode.
Sailor Moon obviously kept reusing animations and they end up reusing it in the episode.
Ironically Jerry ends up wearing his normal clothes anyway so it
was completely pointless him getting changed in the first
place. This stops him looking like morty and could push his fate further towards being true.
They also blend into the wall which was used as
a trick that we saw a rick do all the way back in the decoy episode.
Turns out there's a massive conference that highly successful world leaders are in attendance at.
-
Here we meet the CEO who reminded me a lot of sharon Stone. She built the company from
the ground up after the alien crashed in her backyard when. She ended up getting a cookie
that said she'd become the most successful business woman on earth. Rick ends up helping
this happen by removing trillions of dollars from Goldman-Sachs to buy out the business. In
the end he gives this all back but because the fortune happened its now null and void.
She promises that she can change your fate if you invest enough and could be based on
Elizabeth Holmes. Holmes was a CEO of a company that claimed to be able to produce highly accurate
bloodtests but these heavily malfunctioned and didn't do what she claimed they could.
In the end she ended up getting shut down after recieving hundeds
of millions in investments snd is now seen as a massive failure due to her lies and deciet.
However, on the whole, these are impossible to avoid with security
guards kicking the crap out of Rick, however he realises that
because Jerry's future hasn't come true yet that he can use him as a shield.
Great little detail when they scan Jerry and we can see that
the circle which appears over him is actually from a zodiac chart.
At this point they come across the Fortune Smith and the creature making them. I feel like the
former is based off the guy from Waterworld who was stuck in the oil down in the tanker to keep
an eye on things. The monster itself seems like it's pulling from God Of War 2, namely the sister
of fate who weaves together all the threads of someones life to control their destiny.
The new fortunes have been sent out as a cry for help so that someone would
arrive there and rescue him. He's sent out several recently including
how a virus will end up shutting down the world which uhhhhhhhh.
The CEO has brought in Jerry's mother and all the guards end up taking several
cookies which Rick uses his wits to outsmart them all into killing each
other. There's a part where someone controls the moisture inside someones
body similar to how the atlanteans in Zack Snyder's Justice League also can.
There's someone who can stick to walls who Rick ends up leaving there and
also a guard who gets immortality. Howeer this doesn't mean he can't
feel pain and he ends up getting shot several times by a mini gun.
Rick also finds several fortune cookies with random effects that
he fires into peoples mouths. One transforms into the red ranger t-rex
that you'll probably recognise from Power Rangers if you were a 90s baby.
The CEO ends up eating lots of random cookies after her fortune
comes true and this transforms her into a gigantic monster resident evil style.
The fate monster ends up going wild and my man relaises he's romanticised a wild animal.
He brings up Margaret Howe who participated in NASA funded research to see if a dolphin
named Peter could mimic human speech. It frequently got urges and Margaret would
choke the dolphin like my man says in order to relieve it and move on with the lesson. In the
end Peter ended up drowning himself because the spaces didn't have any natural sunlight
and it got so depressed. Really weird story that I definitely recommend you check out,
Can't show the clip because these vids have been getting demonetised recently
but he also gets ripped apart similar to how Starro pulls apart the Thinker in suicide squad.
The beasts eats the ceo and a void is created which leads to some hilarious stuff with Jerrys
and his mother just missing out. Jerry leaves a thank you message for Rick and calls him a
friend. Turns out Rick was immortal until he made a new friend and Jerry has now robbed him of this.
The real friends were the ones we made a long
the way though and deep down I do think they like each other.
Anyway we go to the post credits stinger which leads us to the zoo and see people
eating Zebra food. Everyone ends up eating it and this ties back to
the beginning of the episode when the made fun of Jerry eating it.
This warning makes Morty super confused over what to do and he realises that it's a human
zoo. Anyway that ends the episode and this was another one I really enjoyed, lots of weird
incest stuff this season but overall I had a good time with it and I hope you enjoyed the video too.
