I actually quite liked this. Though the deconstruction of the genre itself is far from new — hell I’d be willing to bet using the heist structure to send up its genre isn’t even new — I was impressed with how well it worked to tie it in with the Rick/Morty relationship pyscho-pathology. To set out not to steal one’s silly dreams, but rather manufacture circumstances to provide the tools through which they’ll disillusion themselves for you.

It’s an uncommon style of heist - but it does sound rather familiar. Like a Camus novel. Or perhaps an Adult Swim cartoon…

This show really does love it’s meta-commentary, doesn’t it?

P.S. Love the fact that they actually got Elon to voice this.
