Freaking Morty. Yes, it’s Baby Know-It-All, back again with a review. I’m filling in for my dad today, so I’m going to be talking about Rick and Morty Season 7, Episode 9, “Mort: Ragnarick.” It took me a couple of tries to say that title, and I’m not going to pretend it didn’t.

I realized about halfway through this that it probably isn’t making sense to anyone who hasn’t seen the episode, because I’m literally ping-ponging and everything I’m saying is so random. That’s kind of the episode, though.

Rick Dies on Purpose

The episode starts off with Jerry, and he’s dead, but dead in a still-conscious kind of way. That’s how they find out heaven is real, or at least it’s real for them. So Rick has the grand idea of going to Norway, because he wants to get into Norse heaven. “Morty, pack your parka. We’re going to Norway.”

He brings Bigfoot along in a Pokémon ball, and the plan is that Bigfoot kills him. He tells Morty, “When I die, press this button.” Morty asks what happens to Bigfoot after, and Rick says, “Morty, Bigfoot is a B story. The A story is he kills me and you hit the button. Got it?”

So that happens, and Rick goes to Valhalla and hangs out there, and all that fun stuff.

Bigfoot Has Religion

Back in the world where Morty is, Morty sees Bigfoot kill Rick. But then he realizes Bigfoot is burying him. “Wait, what? Bigfoot, do you have religion? You understand me, don’t you?”

And then Bigfoot kills Morty.

So now they both have to figure out a way to get out, and they do the whole building thing, killing people thing, because every time they die they just respawn, as if it’s a video game or something. To get back to the real world they have to go into their little clone bodies, and that’s how they come back.

The Pope Gets a Weapon

Little backtrack, because while all of that is going on, Bigfoot ends up getting caught by the Pope. The Pope’s whole thing is that Bigfoot is going to be his weapon now, and Bigfoot was like, okay, cool. Somebody tells him, “Holiness, he is wild. He can’t be controlled,” and the Pope says, “Ah, but we know what he wants.”

So Bigfoot just starts doing all the Pope’s work. Non-denominational candle factories, strip bars or something, I don’t know.

Rick and Morty come back and the system’s not working, and then Bigfoot ends up beating Rick up, because he doesn’t appreciate what Rick did to him, and now he has this whole little voice thing. Rick tells him, hold on, I’m going to fix your little voice thing and you’re going to work with me. “Help me stop him and I’ll make it right.” And that’s basically what happened.

Again and Again and Again

So they go against the Pope, and the Pope wants to know why Bigfoot would turn on him, and Bigfoot doesn’t really know, but he is. The Pope kills them, and they go back, again and again and again. Eventually Bigfoot becomes like a guy, because now he can talk and he’s in a whole different body.

They just keep on doing it, and at one point we get cameos from Dracula, a mummy, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and Frankenstein. They also go get the fake Asgard people, tell them they kind of need them for this, and Rick just makes them mad. “Monsters, hold the line!”

Then, boom. The Pope eventually dies, because the energy regeneration thing is done. Rick puts the Pope in the little Pokémon ball.

All right, I’m just going to say it so nobody else has to. Popey ball. There. If I didn’t say anything, someone was going to be like, you missed Popey ball, it was right there, because a Pope’s in a Pokémon ball. Clearly.

The Verdict

Rick and Morty Season 7, Episode 9, “Mort: Ragnarick,” lands at a 7.5 out of 10 on the Know-It-All Index.

It was quite entertaining. I’ve really liked the season so far, and I think it’s probably one of the best. You know how people are like, oh, it’s not giving you a season of Rick and Morty? What does that even mean? They’re just having adventures, and the voices sound fine, so I don’t know what people are complaining about.

But yeah, that’s my review. Never forget, everyone loves a know-it-all.

Tell me your score for the episode, and tell me what people are actually complaining about this season, because I don’t see it. The conversation lives in the comments on the video above.
