Ranking Every Episode of “Rick and Morty” Season Four From Worst To Best
It’s ominous, oddly-specific title got my hopes up, and while I was not disappointed, I certainly wasn’t blown away either, mostly because the episode seems to have been Frankensteined together out of two separate, previously trashed projects. Although the vat was a clever way to finish off Morty’s little lesson in accepting responsibility, I cannot help but wish it bore a greater thematic resemblance to the save-your-place-like-in-a-video-game device that Rick built for him toward the end of the first act. The way I see it, The Vat of Acid Episode is the epitome of what season four is all about, which is creator Dan Harmon’s attempt to let go of his self-destructive perfectionism and accept the fact that not every story he makes has to fit together with the precision of a Swiss watch. Of course, that’s all nice and well, but a Swiss watch is still better than a non-Swiss one.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
