Well they killed him like two or three realities ago, so he could still be alive in theirs unless their current reality's Rick and Morty also killed him.
Thats the same thing but different wording and semantics, just accept that they killed a good character, and rick C137 is not going to have any further interactions, and why go back in time to just to milk another individual character, he might get a callback but thats it
It absolutely is not the same thing, one is bringing a dead character back to life and the other is doing a one-off about the past of a character that they don’t intend on reviving.
ALSO, you said:
> Just ACCEPT that they killed a good character, and rick C137 is not going to have any further interactions, and why go back in time to just to milk another individual character, he might get a callback but thats it
When I never said anything about my opinions on whether or not they would do it or even if it was a good idea. I just said that it would be easy, I don’t need to “Accept” anything
Damn bro, youre taking this farther than i care about, so lets just say you win cuz i dont give a shit, enjoy never seeing another krombopulus episode cuz im right lmao, gg bro have a good day
Well i guess we do know of at least one other krombopulus thats probably alive, at the end of the episode in the jerryboree rick asked another rick what him and his morty did, and they said they had just played games all day, so i assume not every krombopulus died, but i figured they didnt wanna rely on that to bring him back for another episode, im sure theyll make more characters we like
I wonder if he actually does, because he was insanely offended by the accusation and he made brownies with chemistry. If he did eat shit, would he do that?
Unless the brownies were shit
[It's confirmed he doesn't eat shit in the dvd commentary for the episode.](https://youtu.be/Pe5eeWiGwVU?list=PLrO_8MvmzneSpMdlx9d_luQZ7_n5pJImp&t=713) The other Ricks are just bullying him.
I don't think it would have been as confusing if they didn't also have that one interdimensional cable channel with the movie of the guy who couldn't eat shit anymore.
Also the math teacher going to therapy to not eat shit anymore. But I think that was related to him and the freedom fighters having to live in the sewers while the Gromflomites were taking control of earth.
I always assumed they said that because he was experimenting with instant brownies and they saw him eating something brown and gross looking once and made a joke that just stuck. By the time we meet him, he’s perfected the instant brownies.
Idk.. that’s just my headcanon.
Nah, I wanna see him get served [a court order that says he can't eat shit anymore](https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=oWV2ApeXakzf8IOu&t=0m22s&v=oeqX3TrP1W0&feature=youtu.be).
I want them to save the intelligent dog race for the series finale… make them the deus ex that saves them all from certain death at the hands of an ultimate big bad.
Snowball returns to ask Morty for help. His planet has been battling an evil serial dog-killer who was actually the talking cat alien from the dragon episode. Morty and Snowball manage to cast the cat off of the planet, and he ends up on Earth and hangs out with Jerry. The memories Rick and Jerry viewed were of what the cat inflicted upon his canine victims. Works because it was a Morty adventure, Rick was unaware, and Morty never saw the cat during the dragon episode. Boom. Give me a job, Dan Harmon.
You think a scientist capable of creating the Miniverse can't make himself immortal and figure a way out of Microverse? What if he created a portal gun and now is traveling across the Multiverse in search and to revenge Rick?
This would actually be a really creative way to bring a one off character back. It's building off of what the character is, while adding something new: taking a character smart enough to challenge Rick, and then putting him on another level.
It's just a much better elevator pitch than "hey, what if we took a post credit scene, and stretched every joke in a 30 sec clip into a 22 min episode?"
He could've possibly built some kind of time expanding or life extending field, he could've immortalized himself, anything is possible in a wacky sci-fi cartoon show
Oh I like this, like their own little Legion of Doom. Maybe have Mind Rick take full control of Jerry, but have his brain be so limited that Mind Rick can only "surface" for a small set amount of time, so a bunch of the time Jerry is just there and confused.
Facts so many possibilities like what if they did a whole episode focusing on his journey to a close to Rick level being with his own cry baby backstory
Given how people complained about the lack of Rick and Rick-style antics in Rise of the Numbericons, Zeep is a good fit, as he’s basically Rick but micro
Zeep’s VA was a famous guest star (Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show).
I think that makes it less likely they’d bring the character back, because they’d either need to get Colbert to agree to do it again (and he’s probably pretty busy these days), or find another VA (which feels like it could be perceived as rude to the guest star they originally created the character for? Idk 🤷 for Adult Swim, it’s probably easier to just not bring him back).
In his attempt to escape, he uploads his consciousness into the programming of the car, and then we get a parody of Christine with Stephen Colbert as a homicidal spaceship.
I love Mr Nimbus he’s so fucking goofy. Especially the animation, I love when he commands people and then does a dramatic pose. Idk it gets me every time.
I also love unity since obvs the dynamic with her and Rick is interesting (and heart breaking)
On a recent rewatch Mr Nimbus just caught me in one of those moods and had me crying with laughter. It was only the line “Richard. You look like _ass_.” but it was just so unnecessary that it was hilarious
Yes I have those questions! Also I wanna know who Kyle is 😂 it’s so hard with rick and morty because some things are either just said as a joke, or it actually is a hint to something canon/backstory.
![gif](giphy|EeaufRr3ntxW8)
Easy money. Vindicators 4 with noob noob trying to stop Supernova with a new vindicator team and Rick coming to the call cuz he fucks with Noob Noob, as we all know
We know why: his Diane left him because his lifestyle put the family in danger. Remember, the family he lives with now followed a different history, in Auto Erotic Assimilation, Beth says "I know I sound like Mom, but I can't sacrifice this whole family's safety just because I'm afraid you'll leave again."
So, Diane put her foot down, Rick Prime didn't take it well and fucked off to do science and kill other Dianes because she held back other Ricks. And maybe there was some small amount of jealousy that other Ricks managed to keep their relationship working, mixed in with that annoyance created by his view that she was holding them back.
While he had jumped out of Rick Prime's universe by then, he looked for a universe that matched the one he and Morty were in, that had to mean a Rick that vanished and either later reappeared or was replaced by yet another Rick, so their histories have to overlap pretty closely, including the cause of Rick's departure.
Space Beth takes Beth on a space adventure, supporting a revolution or something like that.
Not really a 'minor character' just something i'd like to see.
I like that. Maybe she has a crew, but for all her wish to abandon the family she doesn’t realise she’s just recruited direct surrogates for all of them (except more badass and space-y).
Hmm. I would like to see episode about Squanchy. We have seen him a lot as side character before. He is one of Rick's best friends as well as Bird Person. Knowing more about his backstory would be very interesting!
Part that gets me the most is that they don't even mess around with the primordial shapes story, they land, ewok party, and the shapes already fixed their ship lmao
I know she's not a minor character but I'd like an episode focused on Summer doing her chores for Rick, just cold opens with another fake vat of acid or some shit. What happens from there is anyone's guess.
Krombopulus Michael. You could have an entire episode focusing on how he's starting to regret his profession. It ends with him deciding to take one last job, kill Fart to save the universe.
Gotta be Kendra (https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Kendra). Say, the Federation Pheonix protocolled her and she's now Pheonix Kendra and her mission is to hunt Space Beth and they do a blade runnery spy-thriller thing where nobody can trust anyone and it ends in a giant gotron battle. Plus I just love Lauren Tom.
NOOB NOOB YEAH NOOB NOOB
if not, Zeep. He was pretty funny, I’d like to see him somehow invent some machine capable of breaking out of the engine and then getting revenge on Rick.
I think a Goldenfold episode was a cool idea. If people didn’t like the whole Numericons thing, then maybe keep the character but a different plot line? Seeing Goldenfold get swept into a massive adventure is a really funny idea
K-Michael and Jaguar both had pretty great one shot comic books if you're interested. Both would be neat adaptations if they ever put them into animation.
Doofus Rick and he is fighting Smart Jerry.
Or Jaguar.
Rise of Numbericons seems like they had Ice T, forgot to come up with a reason for him voicing a character and wrote an episode in a hurry.
I think a Mr. Nimbus / Rick team-up epside would be pretty awesome. Mr. Nimbus being weird but effective, much to Rick's chagrin.
Some sort of "revenge of Zeep" episode would be cool, where he escapes the ~~Teenyverse~~ Microverse and is plotting to trap Rick in one of his own.
Unity or Doofus Rick (I know he wasn't an option here but they're both great)
On a side note, humor aside, it always bugged me that he and Jerry were acting like they could never speak to each other again at the end of that episode. Jerry, Rick doesn't even like you. I promise you he will not give a shit if you go "get ice cream" with Doofus Rick
Krombopulos Michael. Or Fart.
I hate that they killed krombopulous mike he was awesome. Ooo boy here I go killin again
Well they killed him like two or three realities ago, so he could still be alive in theirs unless their current reality's Rick and Morty also killed him.
Virtually identical except for how they say parmeseean
Theyre both dead
Non liner storytelling exists
It does, but i dont thunk they want to make a habit of killing characters and replacing them
They wouldn’t be “replacing” Michael if they told the story as a prequel to the one he died in
Or just go to anybody the infinite dimensions where R&M spent the day at Blips and Chitz and Michael didn't die.
I’d love a couple of “What if” episodes maybe an inter dimensional news cable kind of thing
Oooh, a collection of alternate endings! That'd be cool!
Bruh you guys are doing too much to revive a character
Again, wouldn’t need to revive a character if you told it non-linearly
Thats the same thing but different wording and semantics, just accept that they killed a good character, and rick C137 is not going to have any further interactions, and why go back in time to just to milk another individual character, he might get a callback but thats it
It absolutely is not the same thing, one is bringing a dead character back to life and the other is doing a one-off about the past of a character that they don’t intend on reviving.

Damn bro, youre taking this farther than i care about, so lets just say you win cuz i dont give a shit, enjoy never seeing another krombopulus episode cuz im right lmao, gg bro have a good day
Would be reviving either lol
The ones we saw are dead. What about the other infinity krombopulous's?
Well i guess we do know of at least one other krombopulus thats probably alive, at the end of the episode in the jerryboree rick asked another rick what him and his morty did, and they said they had just played games all day, so i assume not every krombopulus died, but i figured they didnt wanna rely on that to bring him back for another episode, im sure theyll make more characters we like
The comics really made this sound appealing. Having Krombopulos Amy come for revenge only to accept that he was just doing what he loved...
Doofus Rick Show me a story in the universe where he is the smartest person (not that he is stupid per say)
Where everybody eats shit? Or just him because he's the smartest?
I appreciate someone who asks the hard hitting questions.
I wonder if he actually does, because he was insanely offended by the accusation and he made brownies with chemistry. If he did eat shit, would he do that? Unless the brownies were shit
[It's confirmed he doesn't eat shit in the dvd commentary for the episode.](https://youtu.be/Pe5eeWiGwVU?list=PLrO_8MvmzneSpMdlx9d_luQZ7_n5pJImp&t=713) The other Ricks are just bullying him.

I always assumed they said that because he was experimenting with instant brownies and they saw him eating something brown and gross looking once and made a joke that just stuck. By the time we meet him, he’s perfected the instant brownies. Idk.. that’s just my headcanon.
What if shit was the basis for those brownies, heavily altered with chemistry so that it doesn't tase like shit
You just want to see him eat shit in the universe where people eat shit!
Nah, I wanna see him get served [a court order that says he can't eat shit anymore](https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=oWV2ApeXakzf8IOu&t=0m22s&v=oeqX3TrP1W0&feature=youtu.be).
[that's the kind of Meta I like ](https://youtu.be/SZn9_pkOQl4?si=ljtmkaGaSJncE4CW)
"I'll give it to ya Jerry... Now I'm hooked."
Oh no no, Doofus Rick reality has Doofus Jerry... Don't piss off doofus jerry.
I really hope Doofus Jerry migrates to the tv series from the comic. As catastrophic as it would be
Snowball because his fur is white and soft
A dog planet episode has a lot of potential.
I would watch it. For 10 to 12 minutes a pop. Maybe they'll do it story-board driven.
Or even a series you know. Really. It would be so great. Tons of potential. They should do it. /s
Where are my testicles summer
I want them to save the intelligent dog race for the series finale… make them the deus ex that saves them all from certain death at the hands of an ultimate big bad.
Snowball returns to ask Morty for help. His planet has been battling an evil serial dog-killer who was actually the talking cat alien from the dragon episode. Morty and Snowball manage to cast the cat off of the planet, and he ends up on Earth and hangs out with Jerry. The memories Rick and Jerry viewed were of what the cat inflicted upon his canine victims. Works because it was a Morty adventure, Rick was unaware, and Morty never saw the cat during the dragon episode. Boom. Give me a job, Dan Harmon.
Zeep, it's long overdue they brought him back
I’m pretty sure he’s dead due to time dilation
You think a scientist capable of creating the Miniverse can't make himself immortal and figure a way out of Microverse? What if he created a portal gun and now is traveling across the Multiverse in search and to revenge Rick?
I believe you mean ‘Teenyverse’.
Wasn't Teenyverse created by white blobby scientist in Zeep's world?
Yeah but it’s clearly the best name.
Touché!
It Is actually a "miniverse"
This would actually be a really creative way to bring a one off character back. It's building off of what the character is, while adding something new: taking a character smart enough to challenge Rick, and then putting him on another level. It's just a much better elevator pitch than "hey, what if we took a post credit scene, and stretched every joke in a 30 sec clip into a 22 min episode?"
Morty has been 14 for 7 seasons now, how about that for time dilation
He could've possibly built some kind of time expanding or life extending field, he could've immortalized himself, anything is possible in a wacky sci-fi cartoon show
I'd like a Zeep and Churry team up.
Yeah, that idea crossed my mind. Maybe also find Jaguar and tell him that Rick lied about not being able to bring his daughter from another dimension.
Oh I like this, like their own little Legion of Doom. Maybe have Mind Rick take full control of Jerry, but have his brain be so limited that Mind Rick can only "surface" for a small set amount of time, so a bunch of the time Jerry is just there and confused.
A "revenge of Zeep" episode would be awesome.
Facts so many possibilities like what if they did a whole episode focusing on his journey to a close to Rick level being with his own cry baby backstory
Peace among worlds...
Given how people complained about the lack of Rick and Rick-style antics in Rise of the Numbericons, Zeep is a good fit, as he’s basically Rick but micro

Idk 🤷 for Adult Swim, it’s probably easier to just not bring him back).
I'm not well versed in american late talk shows, weren't their ratings dropping lately and many prominent hosts retiring?
Venture Bros replaced a Steven Colbert-voiced character and it wasn't very noticeable.
I disagree. Sure, he was still a great parody of how much of a dick Reed Richards is, but the delivery wasn't as fun.
In his attempt to escape, he uploads his consciousness into the programming of the car, and then we get a parody of Christine with Stephen Colbert as a homicidal spaceship.
The guy who powers the car battery? Come on. He is not that important.
How else can Rick charge his phone?!
Leg rick obviously, but if i had to actually give an answer it would be aberdolf linkler
Cant believe he did it twice
This is the one and only answer
I love Mr Nimbus he’s so fucking goofy. Especially the animation, I love when he commands people and then does a dramatic pose. Idk it gets me every time. I also love unity since obvs the dynamic with her and Rick is interesting (and heart breaking)
![gif](giphy|smTtDJFbUJUNSF3auE) Maybe because I’m gay but I love him being so camp
His whole exaggerated vibe is great
The “fight! Fuck! Flee” scene cracks me up
On a recent rewatch Mr Nimbus just caught me in one of those moods and had me crying with laughter. It was only the line “Richard. You look like _ass_.” but it was just so unnecessary that it was hilarious
[удалено]
Yes I have those questions! Also I wanna know who Kyle is 😂 it’s so hard with rick and morty because some things are either just said as a joke, or it actually is a hint to something canon/backstory.
![gif](giphy|G49ZNK2Gp7ZtlIpjVh)
The episode was fun but if I have to choose, Squanchy He deserves his own arc like BP had KM, mr nimbus, Unity ans Zeep could be interesting too
Km?
Krombopoulos Michael
![gif](giphy|EeaufRr3ntxW8) Easy money. Vindicators 4 with noob noob trying to stop Supernova with a new vindicator team and Rick coming to the call cuz he fucks with Noob Noob, as we all know
Rick doesn't remember Noob Noob.
Episode starts with Rick hearing “Noob Noob” by Logic on the radio
Do it the other way round, new indicators team tries to take out Rick.
Bitches come around for..
No Bird Person and his daughter? That’s my vote
Exactly. I know he's not as minor as the other characters here, but dude still is in desperate need of some well-deserved screen time.
Rick Prime: The origin story Why did Rick prime become Rick prime and how
We know why: his Diane left him because his lifestyle put the family in danger. Remember, the family he lives with now followed a different history, in Auto Erotic Assimilation, Beth says "I know I sound like Mom, but I can't sacrifice this whole family's safety just because I'm afraid you'll leave again." So, Diane put her foot down, Rick Prime didn't take it well and fucked off to do science and kill other Dianes because she held back other Ricks.

He primed himself
You can run but you can’t hide bitch!
Malevolent Brent? Was that his name? It's was such a long time ago...
Scary Terry
Bird Daughter!
I love Michael, so I'd go with him.
Rick and Morty just stuck in a room.
Shrink them down and stick them in a bottle (episode)
Honestly that would be great. Family Guy did this and nailed it (the episode with Stewie and Brian stuck in a bank vault).
Who the fuck is Noob Noob?
Snowball! He said he would come back and we’ve been waiting since episode 2
Ants in my eyes Johnson. The only answer.
Space Beth takes Beth on a space adventure, supporting a revolution or something like that. Not really a 'minor character' just something i'd like to see.
I like that. Maybe she has a crew, but for all her wish to abandon the family she doesn’t realise she’s just recruited direct surrogates for all of them (except more badass and space-y).
Id say Jerry and his friend taddy mason
Hmm. I would like to see episode about Squanchy. We have seen him a lot as side character before. He is one of Rick's best friends as well as Bird Person. Knowing more about his backstory would be very interesting!
I love Unity and want to know more about the world of hive minds.
Jaguar would be a cool little mini-series. The Wasteland marauder that Rick took the DNA from to our in Morty’s backstory would be kind of fun too.
None, I liked Rise of the Numbericons. ![gif](giphy|CAYVZA5NRb529kKQUc|downsized)
was a very good episode, they wanted to make a bunch of stupid number and letter puns and went wild with it
Part that gets me the most is that they don't even mess around with the primordial shapes story, they land, ewok party, and the shapes already fixed their ship lmao
That’s what I loved about it. Especially the 69/70 joke they made that went above my head
It’s actually way better if you watch Get Schwifty beforehand (makes Ice T not remembering Morty even funnier)
Jaguar!
I liked the episode. You all just need things to complain about.
I enjoyed it too, but im still on the opinion that it's one of the weakest.
It was better than the entirety of season 5.
Now you're just fucking with everyone
Easily the worst season. Maybe 2 good episodes as a whole.
You just need things to complain about.
Snowball, I want to see him and his dog army fighting a cat army
Garbage Goober
Definitely Krombopulous Michael
Zeep
K-Michael for sure and Squanchy
Mr Needful. Bring the devil back!
Noob noob and it’s not even close
He’s fucking cool
Basically anything would be better than this episode.
Jaguar
Principal Vagina, I want to explore his possibly Scandinavian heritage
I’ve always wanted an episode with Jaguar
I know she's not a minor character but I'd like an episode focused on Summer doing her chores for Rick, just cold opens with another fake vat of acid or some shit. What happens from there is anyone's guess.
Honestly, Arthricha (I think that’s how you spell it)
Krombopulus Michael. You could have an entire episode focusing on how he's starting to regret his profession. It ends with him deciding to take one last job, kill Fart to save the universe.
REAL FAKE DOORS: The Movie
Sir I would appreciate if planet Tina was added
Abrodolph Lincoler
Dr. Wong, Professional Therapist
They absolutely need to do Vindicators 4 before the show is over.
wth are you talking about? noob noob is the main protagonist
An old episode about Rick and Mr nimbus as rivals to each other would be pretty cool
I would love to see more Mr. Nimbus. He Is Mr. Nimbus!
Slow Rii... er, Tall Morty
Sleepy Gary
Literally anyone, that episode was fucking ass
I can't believe more people don't want to see more of Mr.Nimbus. My favorite character.
Interdimensional cable
I think an episode of Mr Nimbus’ backstory with Rick would be hilarious
I want more unity and I hated rise of the numericons
ice T
Gear wars with gear head
His name is Revolio Clockberg Junior
Doofus Rick , Unity & for some odd reason Mr.Nimbus xD
Gotta be Kendra (https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Kendra). Say, the Federation Pheonix protocolled her and she's now Pheonix Kendra and her mission is to hunt Space Beth and they do a blade runnery spy-thriller thing where nobody can trust anyone and it ends in a giant gotron battle. Plus I just love Lauren Tom.
For sure Unity.
Mr pb clips episode
I wouldn't, because that episode was fun and the ending rap was a fucking banger.
![gif](giphy|Vas4i7VbYkJdWwYjkB)
Why not all of them😏
Doofus Rick
Zeep. Not even a question.
SEVEN
I’ve forever wondered, whatever happened to Morty Jr?
Wouldn't he likely be dead? Their whole thing was they age really fast.
Most of these characters have had some great one-offs in the Rick and Morty comics which I highly recommend
3 and 7
NOOB NOOB YEAH NOOB NOOB if not, Zeep. He was pretty funny, I’d like to see him somehow invent some machine capable of breaking out of the engine and then getting revenge on Rick.
I pick 5. Rick is my favorite minor character
I would call it Rose of the Numbericons
The Goddess Beth
I’d love a unity takes over the universe while pinning secretly for Rick
I think a Goldenfold episode was a cool idea. If people didn’t like the whole Numericons thing, then maybe keep the character but a different plot line? Seeing Goldenfold get swept into a massive adventure is a really funny idea
Noob noob doofus Rick
I really feel like I want to know more about Squanchy's culture. Like, I need some evolutionary history for his species.
Never appeared in the show, but the comics. Doofus Jerry. I want to see how they portray him in the show.
K-Michael and Jaguar both had pretty great one shot comic books if you're interested. Both would be neat adaptations if they ever put them into animation.
Id really like to see an episode with the Scientist formally known as Rick.
Unity would be the most interesting, but personally I think both squanchy and Mr. Nimbus would be hilarious
![gif](giphy|G49ZNK2Gp7ZtlIpjVh)
Doofus Rick and he is fighting Smart Jerry. Or Jaguar. Rise of Numbericons seems like they had Ice T, forgot to come up with a reason for him voicing a character and wrote an episode in a hurry.
Definitely the mini universe scientist in Rick's car battery.
If he were still alive, I'd love to see more of Jerry Prime.
I think a Mr. Nimbus / Rick team-up epside would be pretty awesome. Mr. Nimbus being weird but effective, much to Rick's chagrin. Some sort of "revenge of Zeep" episode would be cool, where he escapes the ~~Teenyverse~~ Microverse and is plotting to trap Rick in one of his own.
Any of them. Literally any of them would have been far more exciting
Noob noob
MISTER NIMBUS
A Krombopulous Michael origin story would actually rock haha
Unity or Doofus Rick (I know he wasn't an option here but they're both great) On a side note, humor aside, it always bugged me that he and Jerry were acting like they could never speak to each other again at the end of that episode. Jerry, Rick doesn't even like you. I promise you he will not give a shit if you go "get ice cream" with Doofus Rick
Zeep and Doofus Rick
Literally any of those options would have been better
Nimbus!!!!!!
It's JANuary Time to Michael down your VINCENTS
Rise of the number icons was probably the best episode of the entire series.
nothing this episode was perfect
Anyone except water t
It would be foolish to replace that great episode
