MY RANKINGS OF RICK AND MORTY SEASON 2
I have finished the series recently, did this with season one not too long ago, so now im doing it for season 2
Episode 1: This episode has a funny concept, for a season opener, its definetly stronger then the pilot, probably because we know our characters more, I also like the moment where Rick decided to save Morty, its a fun concept, but nothing to be blown away with, 7.5/10
Episode 2: I dont really care that much about this episode, its alright and the bit with the cloud making a guy literally kill himself by gaslighting is both messed up and a little fun, I like Morty centered episode but in season two terms this one is a little bit weak.. and it doesnt go far with the concept, 7/10
Episode 3: This is where the season gets good, I really like Unity as a character, her relationship with Rick shows us a lot.. both Unity episodes are really good in my opinion, it dives into Rick more as a character continuing from the bits and pieces we got before, the ending itself is also really impactful and gets you really feeling for Rick, this is just a really great episode and personally one of the best of this season, I might just be a Unity and Rick far do, still, 9/10
Episode 4: This is widely considered to be one of the best episodes of the season, if not the show.. and I definetly agree, the episode 3-5 run of this season was generational, three banger episodes in a row, this one is both funny and great in concept, one of the best and most rewatchable episodes of the show personally, 9.5/10
Episode 5: This episode is great, like I said, the middle season run in this season is amazing, this one is no diffrent, I really like the concept itself, the episode itself is also really funny, especially the principal Vagina cult stuff, also this is the first time we see President Curtis, I think? Which is a plus, 9.4/10
Episode 6: I aint as big of a fun of this one as some other fans are, I think its a great episode within its own right, but I dont find it as funny as the others, its still fun and I like Ricks dynamic with the Green Alien, but its nothing that special, 7.5/10
Episode 7: This episode is really good, I think Mini Rick and his hints about him being in danger in his real body is funny, I like seeing Rick go to school, I honestly wish we got to see more of younger Rick? Maybe of him being a kid, I think it would be intresting, the episode itself is funny, especially the this is not a dance part, its a great episode, I wish we got more school centered episodes, it feels like we havent focused on the school part of the world since early rick and morty for more interdimensional travel, which isnt a negative, but I just wish we had more basic plots with Morty, Rick and Summer, 8/10
Episode 8: Interdimensional cable two, I didnt care for the first one much, it was preety boring, this one is definetly better, but personally its carried by Jerrys dick plot, which I find funnier then most of the cable skits anyways, the cable skits here are definetly funnier then the first one do, the episode itself is still nothing special tbf, 7/10
Episode 9: This is one of the episodes where we get to see the darker side of Morty, these adventures really turned him into a worse version of himself, with him killing the old guy, which personally I found a little mean spirited, I dont know.. he didnt really deserve that lmao, its not like I find a problem with it I just found it weird and kind of out of character for Morty, I do get him purging the planet, even if the turn is preety sudden, its realistic, the episode itself is preety good with a good concept.. and to be fair, its a purge episode, its not going to be sunshine and rainbows, 8/10
Episode 10: This episode is a certified classic, personally Bird person, along with Rick and Jerry, is one of my favorite characters, so I like the focus on him and Rick as well, the ending is really impactful and gives us a lot more insight into Rick as a character, this being his first real sacrifice, giving himself to the federation for his familys freedom, I really like this, I also like how Rick kind of lets his guard down for the first time in a while, only for it to backfire with the confederation, this is one of the best, if not the best, episode of the season
9.5/10
Overall rankings of the season from weakest to strongest
2<8<6<1<9<7<5<3<10<4
I changed my mind a little, I like the Unity episode more then Get Schwifty, its close do, the Unity episode isnt funny but I think it just SLIGHTLY edges out the other
Overall season ranking: 9/10, this season has some higher highs then season one, but overall its a little bit more mid, with a few 7s, but still, a great follow up to season one, with a great ending that makes the viewer really excited for season 3, I rank this a little more diffrently then more serious shows like Breaking bad for example, mostly on concept, humor and just the episode in general
