Okay, I'm watching Rick and Morty and the moment and realised something strange that never really gets brought up. These are huge spoilers for Rick and Morty, for everybody who still wants to watch, I spoil up to the latest episode.

The Rick we know is not C-137. That is just the dimenstion he landed in. That is what we saw, when his backstorie got revealed in the last episode. He took the place of another Rick who abendoned his family. We watch this and assume, that the Rick we know just came back, after he realised that abendoning his family was a mistake and a bad idea. But the Rick who abendoned them never came back. I wonder what happened to that Rick. And how long he was gone before the Rick we know shows up.

Also: The Rick we know, who really is not C-137, never had a Jerry, a Summer, or a Morty. His wife and little Beth got killed. So he never experienced a Beth growing up, being a dad and also being a grandfather. That is completely foreignt to him. He treats Morty like they know each other but it is really strange from the Morty-viewpoint: There is this old man that he does not know and never met until under a year ago when the show started. And this - by all accounts - this stranger drags him to weird sci-fi-adventures. A guy who never in his life was a grandfather and a father for under 3 years I would say, until his family got murdered by himself from another reality. Is this not the biggest red flag imaginable. I think this is a huge deal for the show, because Rick lied to everybody in his family that they are his family and that he is the one who abandoned some time ago. You would think that the amount of times when Rick and Beth talk about their weird relationship when Beth was a child. But that never happened to that Rick, he never had a Beth that was older than an infant. Their whole relationship is just a lie from Rick. I wander how much of the old Rick that never came back Morty knew.
