The character is transformed by the truths he discovers during his interdimensional adventures with his grandfather. Eric Armstrong of The New Republic notes that Morty represents the audience, as he is "mostly there to react to Rick's deranged schemes".

#ADULT SWIM GAMES INTERNSHIP SUMMER 2017 SERIES#
Matthew Bulger of The Humanist noted that the creators of the series were trying to communicate the message that we need to focus on human relationships and not preoccupy our minds with unanswerable questions, in order to find a sense of purpose and live a better life. He believes that the character's life on a larger scale has caused him mental illness, and opines that "the knowledge that nothing matters-while accurate-gets you nowhere". Harmon describes the titular Rick Sanchez as a self-interested anarchist, who doesn't like being told what to do. However, as Joachim Heijndermans of Geeks notes, none of the characters appear able to handle the absurd and chaotic nature of the universe, as Jerry gets by through denial while Rick is a "depressed, substance-addicted, suicidal mess". The characters of the series deal with existential dread and cosmic horror, either by asserting the utility of science over magic or by choosing a life in ignorant bliss. The formula of the series consists of juxtapositioning two conflicting scenarios: an extremely selfish, alcoholic grandfather dragging his grandson along for interdimensional adventures, intercut with domestic family drama, while addressing the insignificance of human existence as compared to the size of the universe, with no recognizable divine presence, as described by H.

Themes ĭan Harmon has described Rick and Morty as "a never-ending fart joke wrapped around a studied look into nihilism". Justin Roiland conceived of the idea for Rick and Morty as an evolution of his 2006 short film parody series The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti, inspired by Back to the Future and Scud: The Disposable Assassin, the latter series of which future Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon had written for.
