bro broke my brain when you gave the first episode the 24th ranking. I was scrambling trying to remember the at least other 23 episodes in Season 5 til I realised it was across the series
Haha, my bad should have probably said something
Cant believe you didnt mention rick admitting he LOVES birdperson 😭
I don't remember him saying that in the episode, if he does that's my bad
Why is that a big deal

@@workinprogress1987wow what a great reviewer. Ignoring one of the biggest character moments of the series because it went over your head 😭

Personally, I actually really like Planetina’s turn at the end of the episode. It makes sense that when she’s not being used by a group that’s hyper-controlling of her image that she would fly off the handle. Planetina’s an icon/celebrity of sorts, so her arc mirrors things like, say, child stars that lash out and rebel once they’re adults.
Not just that, but we see Morty encouraging her increasingly extreme actions for the sake of their relationship until she starts killing people. I think they’re supposed to mirror each-other in a way, too. She’s depicted as more mature/worldly but her morals are twisted whereas Morty isn’t as mature/wordly, but he has a strong moral fiber. It’s a relationship dynamic that never would have worked despite how much both of them wanted it to, which makes it all the more tragic.
That actually makes a lot of sense, my main problem with it is that it happened in like 30 seconds. If they slowly built on it I would have liked it
@ I can respect that, that’s a very good point. Wasn’t criticizing you by any stretch of the imagination btw- just giving my own thoughts. I’m really liking this series and hope you keep up the great work! 🙏
Thank you, and no need to so you weren't criticizing, you were just giving your opinion which I love to hear.

Wow such great timing I was just rewatching ur other Rick and morty retrospectives just for you to drop another. Lets gooo. Thank you for making these this series has honestly become one of my favourites on yt
Thank you for the kind words they mean a lot to me!
My favorite part about this season was when I decided to stop watching it after Rick left Morty for the crows and assumed the series ended there.
That's a hilarious place to leave off
Planetinas turn to evil made perfect sense as a parody of captain planet. All is enemies were incarnations of pure evil, who polluted for pollutions sake. He was always justified in using maximum (yeah, nonlethal, because for kids) force, because he never faced a simple mining worker just doing his job. It's Rick and Morty bringing a black-white morality character into their messed up world. Worked perfectly for me.
I get that, I think it's a fine idea, I just didn't like how rushed it felt. If they took their time it would have been way better
Rick didn't kill the hell demons he just made them feel actual pain when they were hurt instead of pleasure
yknow the giant sperm was bad enough, making the plot device to rid of them one of Summer's eggs just makes it worse. It's like if you got punched in the face by one guy and then a second guy comes by and stabs you
that's a beautiful metaphor for the episode
Ahhh thank you for this upload, it came at a perfect time! Can’t wait for Season 6 & 7
Heck ya
33:46 I think they mention he was using the portal hole to hide everything and it was only after mortys hole connected to his, it all came out
That actually makes sense
30:54 Your misinterpretation of this scene is honestly adorable😂
I actually think this season is better than season 4 because I love the last 3 episodes, and think the first, second, and turkey episodes arent that had either
I have a similar opinion
33:46 he doesnt keep the trash in his cell, he was keeping it in the portal since before morty opened his it was essentially a big hole he literally says it
21:10 tge jurassic park reference was when they tried to activate the thing and rick comes out saying "nah nah nah" or something like that. We'll it's take from a scene in jurassic park. Though I too hate when a show calls out it's own references
Thank you for your continued work on these videos. I've enjoyed all of them so far and will be patiently waiting for the rest 😊 much love from South Africa 💚
Thank you so much!!
So happy I found this channel I binged all of these and here we are, the next season has some bangers I’m excited for the video
Welcome aboard! I can't wait for next season either! Thank you for the support!
Wow, I found another person on this planet who likes Mortyplicity
The sperm episode. Dear GOD! NOOOOOOO!
Ya I hate that episode
Just wanted to say that for a small channel your content's pretty nice and you should keep up the good work. A diamond in the rough lol
Thank you so much. I love the kind words
Absolutely love ur retrospectives,keep it up
Thanks, will do!
I was just thinking about how I could use a new season review and then you released it. These videos are the best keep it up!!!
Thank you!!
I love this channel so much can’t believe it’s still small. Keep it up.
Thank you!
4:05 I absolutely love that line😂😂
YESSS BRO I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Heck ya
This take doesn’t cut the chut. Season 5 was awesome. Fight me.
Bro the idea that any season 1 episodes are below any episodes from seasons 4-5 in the rankings is insane
I mean the Pilot exists.
Always excited to see your new videos
Glad you like them!
season six made up for it up until the finale but season 7 sorta pulled it out the gutter
Glad to finally hear some Season 7 praise. I bet Season 8 will really get things back on the right track.
I think your videos are great and the editing of the recorded audio to the clips is also great. But I would suggest less summarizing the episodes and more of your thoughts. I think it’s safe to assume that the viewers have watched the episodes so I don’t think it’s as necessary to go through a full plot summary. I think you can stick to just where you have thoughts about the story beats. With the first episode you can mention it’s the introduction of mister Nimbus along with the “narnia” portal. Then dive into how those came about and your thoughts.
I’ve watched all of your retrospectives so far and that’s really my only critique. I feel myself fast forwarding to get to your commentary rather than summarizing the plot. But that’s still good cause I’m looking to hear YOUR thoughts, since I’ve already seen the show and remember what happened. Though if you’re forgot something happened that’s worth mentioning as well.
Again, I’m subscribing and love the videos, and I look forward to the next one.
Disagree, the context is nice to have + summaries are still good content in my opinion.
I get your opinion and totaly understand, but I've had so many comments saying they stopped at season 4 so some people wont know. Also that's just the style I like for videos. Thank you for the support
Been waiting for this 🙏
Fun fact they actually referenced Jessica being a time god in the book of bill
was waiting on this
i love these videos so much, you do them perfectly!!
Thank you so much!!
Great stuff my guy!! Keep it up 😊
Thanks! Will do!
“THAT” Episode would’ve been better in idea and concept if it was a South Park. Simpsons did it and Overlogging are two episodes which the same things, but the stuff that would disgusting is what makes the funniest moments.
the season 5 finale was so good that it makes me sad that its at the tail end of this mostly bad season
its such a shame
That's what I used to think but I came around on the series
8:43 it is and so is this episode, made me cry
obviously everyone's interpretation can vary but i don't see rick's aversion to canon as the writers' and don't think he's a mouthpiece for them. I think rick doesn't want to be tied down by backstory, but the writers are forcing it on him and showing us how he'll react. ty for the video either way
Been here since the first retrospective. Glad RUclips is putting this in my recommended the moment it releases. 2 more season to go.
Hell ya! Thank you for your continued support! I really appreciate it!
The Turkey episode is the funniest episode in the show. Not the best but the funniest. I fucking love the turkey facts sprinkled throughout.
From what I understand Dan Harmon does have a hate for continuity (to a large extent, anyway), Justin Roiland does not. They kept fighting about it until Roiland stopped being involved with the writing of the show after about season 3, but by that time fans had come to expect it and consider it part of the show's greatness... thus began Harmon's love-hate relationship with his own show, lol
That would suck, I don't know why he can't see the good in both episodic adventures and cannon
He might do, I could well be overstating it. It's not like I have a direct quote from him or anything. Just something I heard, and probably not as big as I'm making it out to be
I love this series of retrospective watching so much ! (I watch Rick and Morty to sleep so I’m always retroactively watching)
Thank you for the support!!
7:02 In the decoy episode we know that the final family is the real family. Because whenever rick describes the decoys he says that he created them to have small scale 'terrestrial' adventures. And indeed none of the ricks try going to another dimension or space, not even the decoys trying to peacefully hide out come up with the simple idea to just leave the planet/dimension until everything blows over. Rick programmed them too well for their own good. Therefore the family we see in space over earth is the real one.
Makes sense
26:58 you def synced up to the guys lips in the middle 😂
Idk if you noticed but the hell demons from episode 5 are a reference to Hellraiser which makes it a lot better
They dropped two of my favourite episodes of the show, and then it kinda went downhill after. This season isn't bad aside from episodes 4 and 7, and Mortyplicity is a top three episode for me.
Hell yeah, this was great!! Yet another banger video 😎✨
Thank you!!
That episode's only good moment being Rick toppling himself over to get out of eyeline is spot on bro.. one laugh in an otherwise repulsive awful episode of television
You need to do mr inbetween honestly one of the best shows oat. Doesnt take too long to finish
I swear to God if they will make the giant insecs baby a giant insecs kid in season 8 I'm gonna lose it
I hope they don't I would crashout
W opinions as always
I like the last episode, and Rick's comments about Canon. It makes me laugh
I respect your opinion
@workinprogress1987 as i do yours. Your videos are great. Keep em comin
Honestly I hate the reveal of Rick's backstory in the season 5 finale because it does not make any sense it makes the season 3 opener honestly contradictory because "You can alter anything you want in a totally fabricated origin story" but even more than that the season 1 episode that introduces the council legitimately makes no sense because the council has a very good reason for suspecting that Rick was killing other rigs considering that he slaughtered thousands of them across the Multiverse before the council was even founded if this really is his backstory. Even the backstory of the Citadel is now contradicted because before it was just that a bunch of Ricks didn't like people telling them what to do so they all banded together informed the council and overtime just created their own government of Ricks.
They just wanted to make a lazy backstory and just used what they already had essentially while creating a bunch of lazy tie-ins that really don't make any sense with the world that they established
You should do an archer retrospective next. Love the content!
let's be honest we all would have been OK with it if you skipped rickdependence spray 12:41
I wish I did, it made me unreasonably angry
Season 4 was awesome. Season 5 has extreme his and lows. Season 6 and 7 are amazing
Love the Vid! Keep it up. Just one question, what is the deal with EGG-scaping? 😂 i do not thow that accent, english isn't my first language but i've never heard that before
I'm just stupid and bad with words
I feel like the first few seasons went ham on fun and interesting ideas and spent a lot of time on characterization because the characters weren’t established yet, but once they were they just didn’t know how to follow through on the cool things they hinted at and while the newer seasons are full of creative and fun ideas they don’t have the meaningful substance of the earlier ones. I don’t know. It just doesn’t feel as genuine. Like a family guy where there’s a status quo and nothing really changes. They’ll explore interesting ideas, but all of the characters just feel like heartless monsters who feel sadness or fake-happiness and nothing else and none of all of them always act in their own self-interests.
37:10 please no. I never wanted to see that again 😂
Ya it's pretty bad
I never liked nimbus either I thought it was just me 😂
Ya he's lame
I waited so much i even changed my pfp💀
you should try watching Archer then come back and say sorry Lol
I think overall, the show is an 8/10 as I enjoy the rediculous ideas these people have for an adult cartoon
I respect your opinion
WE ALL are good on that rnm anime video.
Do you adjust the rankings throughout the video as you introduce more episodes or is everything preranked before you dive into it?
it's adjusted
@ wild.
Season 4 is better imo but im happy you grew on season 5
I respect your opinion, I was in that boat to for the longest time
pls do bojack horseman i would love to see you do a retrospective on that show
I will eventually, but at the skill level I'm at right now I couldn't do it justice
@ you do one hell of a job at the rick and morty retrospective even than you point out criticisms most others wouldn’t talk about the show at all in my opinion you can do it justice but take your time with it but i do wanna see you cover young justice or other animated shows your a good youtuber
It's just such a serious show and I think I need to do a bit more shows to be able to do that one. The next one is probably going to be gravity falls though
season 5 was tough. season 6 was a good return. i just remembered being so bored of R&M after S4 and S5 did open strong enough but I remember having no great reaction or will to watch the season
Hoovey’s son is named Jathith if I remember correctly lol
Good to know
Rickdependency spray creo que fue sobreexagerado el odio la gente solo lo considera asqueroso por el esperma gigante aunque podrias decir que son dinosaurios o algo y ya no seria tan odiado
I loved the first episode of this season and i felt every epsiode of this season was or really stupid or really good but overall i liked this season
I respect your opinion
Finally…
I love the episode 3 morty plotline and it's a shame that they didn't let it being the only plotline and they had to ad the rick and the alien thing it made me like this episode waaay less
Agreed if they just focused on the a plot it would have been a lot better
The worst part is that there are a lot of one plotline episodes in this season why couldn't they make this one one of those
That's why I love season 7 there is barley any side plots so the creators put afford in those plot lines while it does mean that if the plotline is bad the episode is too but it mean that the good plotlines get to shine
@@workinprogress1987they should have done only one and let the alien thing plotline burn into ashes
I love These Videos I would just wish that in terms of the Ranking it wouldnt be Numberd 1 to 5 But Instead where ever its Placed
For Example
EP:X 9
EP:X 10
EP:X 11
EP:X 12
Because after 5 Seasons its kinda confusing
Pls analyse all the seasons, even though season 7 came out recently.
Will do, and I'll continue to when new seasons come out
Bruh no. Planetina and Morty’s relationship should not have gone on longer, it shouldn’t have even started, made me very uncomfortable since it’s grooming and pedophilic. Imagine the roles reversed it wouldn’t even have been entertained. I feel that they completely dropped the ball and could’ve made it work if they handled it with more care and show the predatory behavior but they didn’t. How Morty could be used and manipulated by a woman bc he’s a boy and will do anything to get laid. Like it’d be interesting if her plan was for him to free her and she tried to continue using him for other things she needs or wants
16:56 I think there's a third joke that's funny because of how painfully real it is "That's a heartbeat and this is an election year"
It's "funny" because rights are constantly being used for political points to the determent of others or what would be the right thing to do😭😭😭
Very surprised you liked the decoy episode- I actually Skipped the episode after 5 mins because it just seemed like the same joke repeatedly until the post credit scene
Really, it's a fun episode, you should try and reawatch it.
i love ur videos
Thank you very much
The formula where they kill a race of aliens or something because they made them mad is getting stale
That happens like every other episode
Honestly with how much the writing has been destroyed by justins will and his gross plots for episodes, the entire story kind of suffered almost unfixable
I agree I hate the episodes where he's all just douched his grandkids I mean he's still grandfather and they aren't like that
The episode where morty teamed up with lil dicky was so cringe and summer constantly glazing Rick and being especially bitchy this season I hated that to
Please cover the Rick and Morty anime !
for me season 5 is the worst but i feel like the highs are pretty high but in the same breath the lows are sooooo low
New retrospective!!
Yeah!
Update on the samgladiator tokyo soul video?
Season 5 is the biggest mixed bag of the whole show. First 3 and last 3 episodes are great but the episodes in between are easily the worst of the whole series
I somewhat agree
I feel like Dan Harmon and Justin Roland butting heads causes some terrible episodes to come out. Dan Harmon notoriously doesn't like any serialization, which isnvery unfortunate. I think Rick and Morty's biggest strength is its serialized momeents.
rank smiling friends
I enjoy Season 5 overall….
Yes, Rickpendence Spray is def R&M’s weakest episode. Also the Gotron Episode and Amortican Grickfitti are kinda just middle of the Road episodes…
However I do love the episodes first 3 episodes. It’s final 3 episodes and the Thanksgiving episode.
Overall I think 5 is probably the most Mixed Bag Season, so far of R&M, but the good episodes it delivers are imo Classics and very Memorable.
I doubt your opinion on s6 will change, i rewatch it recently and its still best thing since s2. But maybe ypur opinion is diffrent
28:22 peakkkkkkk
YESSS!
I know when they Lost Justin the show was Done
He hasn't been writing for the show since season 2
@workinprogress1987 Who's the dude who voiced Rick and Morty? That's who I mean either way
Him but he didn't contribute much after season 2 other than the voice
@@workinprogress1987 i think his voice tied it together for better or worse considering who he is as a person lol
I don’t like this video. You didn’t put nearly enough effort into the analysis. Really? Planetina all season bro? Come on. And do you want character work or comedy? If you want character work then why did you expect the bird person episode to be funny. They would’ve had to undercut any serious moment for a cheap laugh
Well I respect your opinion, but your last point is very stupid. The earlier plots like rick poition no. 9 and auto eroctic assimilation are hilarious while also takling serious subjects
Honestly this season is one of my favorites. I think season 4 is the worst.
YAYYYY
Meh I liked the skeet episode better than the thanksgiving episode.
For the love of god man, “ESCAPE” not “excape”
