Short Outs

- Ranma – How Enemies are Made

I find it interesting that this episode could basically be considered a breakdown of how Ricks indifference to others causes him to have so many enemies, and consequently how Morty is gradually becoming just like him. Morty was fully aware of the time dilation and if he had just denied Hoovy’s offer of help, made sure he stayed on the other side of the portal, or didn’t close it none of this would have happened. basically all of this is the result of morty not sparing a second to think about someone who helped him. you’ll notice he never acknowledges this it’s always i just want some wine why are you so angry. even as he watches the centuries pass
