‘Rick and Morty’s’ Dan Harmon and Scott Marder Look Beyond the Season 7 Finale: ‘We Have Plans and Grand Designs’ for Evil Morty (EXCLUSIVE)
"Rick and Morty" series co-creator Dan Harmon, showrunner Scott Marder break down the Season 7 finale, "Fear No Mort" and what's next for Evil Morty.
According to Harmon, this episode serves as the end of “Rick’s big, serialized, one-armed man canonical thing.” The finale brings closure to the story that has defined him since taking up residence at the Smith home since the series’ pilot. With that climax coming in at the season’s midpoint, it gave ample time for the team to explore the emotional fallout of the journey, and the toll it’s taken on Rick, “You’ve had this agenda, this vendetta, your whole life, and it normally ends in your own death as well. Notably, MatPat from the YouTube channel Film Theorists proposed that the show is setting up Mr. Poopy Butthole to be the newest villain because of what he views as a season-long characterization that foils the development and growth that Rick has undergone this season.
