To consider Rick and Morty as merely a bawdy, nihilistic riff on ‘80s time travel classic Back to the Future is to minimize the thought and effort the series creators have put into the series. What they’ve made is a surprisingly considerate reflection on free will, melancholy, and discovering one’s place within the multiverse. To be truthful, although, Rick and Morty is positively additionally a giant riff on Back to the Future, and the present doesn’t attempt to deny it

Rick and Morty’s love for Robert Zemeckis’ franchise has at all times been evident even because it’s progressively made clear over the course of its 5 seasons that it’s attempting to inform very different types of tales. While a correct crossover between the animated collection and the sci-fi movie is one thing followers have needed for some time, the 2 have gotten so far-off from each other thematically {that a} team-up hasn’t appeared just like the kind of factor their respective manufacturing firms could be considering. But, apropos of it being Friday (and Adult Swim’s twentieth anniversary), Rick and Morty’s artistic workforce’s simply dropped the subsequent neatest thing.

The new live-action Rick and Morty clip posted to Adult Swim’s account immediately is brief, however stars Christopher Lloyd as Rick Sanchez and Jaeden Martell as Morty Smith in a pitch-perfect scene. There’s nothing all that a lot happening within the clip itself, however the “C-132″ reality designation included in Adult Swim’s tweet is a reference to the first two volumes of Oni Press’ Rick and Morty comic. The Rick and Morty of the C-132 are generally similar to their C-137 (the “main” Rick and Morty) counterparts save for sure particulars like Morty C-132 not having a son, and Rick C-132 not placing a lot religion in time journey.

Given Rick and Morty’s penchant for dimension-hopping stories, it’s not hard to envision Adult Swim playing around with the idea of the C-132 universe in a live-action special or series of shorts. While we didn’t hear back by time of publication, io9 reached out to the network for comment about whether this clip’s a teaser of things to come or not, and will report back if and when there’s word.

Rick and Morty’s next episode airs Sunday on Adult Swim.
