There was plenty of chatter regarding the “Mortiplicty” episode, and despite the decoy-heavy storyline wrapping up the replica-related mess, some couldn’t help but question the premise, like YouTube User Arabian Nights, who posted “If decoys say they made decoys to escape killer squid aliens, and the killer squid aliens are also decoys, what were the decoys really created for?”
While several were baffled by the Squid Wars debacle, others who comprehended the Asimov Cascade concept couldn’t help but expand on it. The idea revolving around the chaos that would ensue if decoys built decoys of themselves until it got out of control was very well displayed, leading to user Squid Ink’s fascinating idea regarding the Isaac Asimov reference from the episode, “This episode would’ve reached a whole new level of meta if the whole earth was a decoy and it’s just rick testing if a decoy family would cause an Asimov cascade.”
Then some fans just wanted to have fun with the decoy situation, like YouTuber A.M., who posted, I played a drinking game where we had to take a shot every time “decoy” was said. I got s*** wasted when this scene came on. And, of course, there was User S K, who claimed it was the creators of the series sending a message, posting in a comment, “This is the creator’s way of saying, “If you try to copy ‘Rick and Morty’ all you’re going to get is a s*** show. Only the original is the one.” The episode spoke to fans on many levels but proved that fans would not be easily fooled by any “Rick and Morty” decoys because they prefer the real thing over any imitators.
