    Isn’t that part of the plot though? He’s super depressed and part of it is because everyone else is so goddamn stupid

      Yes, but my point is that his hyper-intelligence is to a point something we just have to believe in since he is being written by people who aren’t hyper-intelligent themselves.

        Its also a plot point in (after the recast) that he did this to himself. Evil Morty’s goal was to escape the cluster of multi-verses that Rick curated where he was the smartest person in that universe. I like the newer plot driven episodes, but writing this im noticing that while I like the show as its airing, I have never really rewatched it…

          The intelligence to curate universes to ensure you’re the smartest person in them is like some sort of self sustaining Gary Stu feedback loop.
