Multiverse Newswire — For years, Rick and Morty fans have labeled Evil Morty as the ultimate antagonist — a cold, calculating mastermind who shattered the Citadel, manipulated infinite timelines, and walked through the Yellow Portal to God-knows-where. But now, a wave of fans are asking a bold question that flips everything upside down:
What if Evil Morty isn’t the villain after all?
This unexpected theory exploded in online communities and fan groups following a rewatch of the landmark episode “Rickmurai Jack.” The Reddit thread that sparked the conversation now has over 15,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments dissecting every glance, monologue, and data stream Evil Morty ever touched.

Rewriting the Narrative
At the heart of the debate is a simple but powerful idea:
What if Evil Morty is just the only one trying to break free?
“He’s not evil — he’s enlightened,” said one fan in the popular Rick and Morty: Deep Lore SocietyFacebook group.
“He’s the only Morty who saw the truth and refused to be a pawn in Rick’s narcissistic playground.”
In Rickmurai Jack, Evil Morty exposed the Central Finite Curve — the multiversal firewall that separates universes where Ricks are always the smartest. By destroying it, he didn’t just rebel — he liberated countless dimensions where Mortys, and everyone else, were subjugated by an empire built on Rick’s ego.

Is He the Real Hero?
Some fans now argue that Evil Morty may be the closest thing the series has to a revolutionary hero — one who saw the horror beneath the science and chose to do something about it, no matter the cost.
“He’s a necessary disruption to a broken system,” said a TikTok creator whose video breakdown has over 2 million views.
“If anything, C-137 Rick is more of a villain — emotionally abusive, reckless, and addicted to power.”
This interpretation paints Evil Morty not as a supervillain, but as the Martin Luther of the Multiverse, challenging an oppressive regime from within.

Not Everyone Agrees
Of course, not all fans are convinced. Critics of the theory point to Evil Morty’s manipulation, murders, and lack of empathy as clear signs of villainy.
“You can’t burn a city to save it,” one fan argued.
“He’s clever, yes, but he’s ruthless — and that makes him dangerous.”

The Debate Is the Point
Whether you see Evil Morty as a freedom fighter or a cold-hearted anarchist, one thing is clear: the debate is far from over. And with a new season on the horizon, fans are watching closely for clues about his return — and perhaps a redefinition of what “evil” really means in a universe full of morally flexible Ricks.

So, what do you think? Is Evil Morty the villain… or the hero we never saw coming? The multiverse awaits your opinion.
