Скачать или смотреть Rick & Morty Season 8x01: Why Summer & Beth Have An Even More Toxic Relationship?

With Summer trapped in Rick's Matrix for nearly two cyber-decades at the start of the episode, the season 8 premiere highlights this mother-daughter pair and finds a fantastic new way to shake up their relationship, which has been the most neglected of all the duos in Rick and Morty's ensemble cast.
In reality, not nearly that much time has gone by, but Summer's mentality has reached adulthood. Now a successful company magnate, she and Morty are able to break out of their virtual captivity because of her creative tech launch. Once they're out of the Matrix, Rick offers to use the Mind Blower device to erase their memories and make them into innocent kids again.

They choose to retain their mature, educated brains, however, and refuse to have their memories erased. Though their consciousness has been aged into adulthood, the characters' appearance remains unchanged. As a result, Summer transforms from Beth's disobedient teenage daughter into one of her peers. Now that they share the same emotions, they can put an end to their arguments and develop a close friendship.

Beth's frustration with Summer's juvenile decisions, such as using one of Rick's inventions to enhance her breasts or moving too quickly with a skeevy guy she met on a dating app, has been the source of the humor in past Rick and Morty episodes. But all of a sudden, Summer is the more mature one after emerging from the Matrix with the mindset of a prosperous adult. Typically, Beth gets on her high horse and talks down to Summer. The dynamic is reversed in the season 8 premiere, though.

Under normal conditions, Beth and Summer's relationship is somewhat toxic. In addition to being frank about the fact that Summer was the product of an unwanted pregnancy and that she wasn't prepared to have children, Beth frequently expresses sorrow over having children and reflects on the success she may have had had she never started. Summer's self-esteem has been severely damaged by this since it makes her feel like she was a mistake and that her existence is unimportant. When Summer emerges from the Matrix as an adult, however, their relationship somehow gets even more poisonous.

Summer, an adult, and Beth go out for coffee and talk candidly about their achievements. But from the beginning, Summer discredits Beth's statements and disparages her whenever possible, making Beth fervently want her acceptance. It's even less beneficial than how they typically interact. It was wonderful to see a little more growth in Beth and Summer's connection. In the future, Rick and Morty ought to work with this underappreciated pair more.
