If the recently-announced Avatar Studios don't give us an R-rated Avatar: The Last Airbender show, we'll always have Morty.

Plus it gives us an opportunity to see Morty do his best Avatar impression when he starts massacring the Planeteers and stealing their rings. Sure, the bit about them trying to sell Planetina off to a rich Arab feels weird and out of nowhere even for this show, but seeing the Planeteers follow Planetina around in a tour bus and selling limited edition Funko Pops of Planetina for $50 a piece is rather clever. RELATED: 'Rick and Morty': Rick Becomes Totoro in New Crossover Claymation ShortĮven if you aren't familiar with Captain Planet, I certainly am not, the joke about the Planeteers being a bunch of selfish and greedy adults who are exploiting their teenage adventures works. The first is that Planetina, much like Captain Planet, is controlled by four kids, who are now grown up and live off of exploiting Planetina as a marketing tool, and are planning to sell her off. There are a couple of problems with this, however. As I speculated in my recap of the premiere episode, now that Jessica is gone seemingly for good, the show should finally move on from Morty's obsession with her, so it felt refreshing to see Morty and Planetina's young romance blossoming. You see, the moment Morty meets Planetina, he jumps to flirting with her, and surprisingly enough, she is into it.
What's new is that he infuses A Rickconvenient Mort with the kind of sincere emotion we don't really see in the show, particularly from Morty and Beth. Schrab may be a newcomer to the world of Rick and Morty but he's a longtime collaborator of co-creator Dan Harmon and he fits seamlessly with the Harmon-verse's sensitivities. At the same time, the core concept of a superhero entity that is summoned by a group of ethnically diversed kids and whose sole purpose is to fight against pollution has been parodied and homaged so much that it's easy to understand what writer Rob Schrab is going for. If you've never heard of the '90s environmental cartoon Captain Planet and the Planeteers, it's possible this episode won't do anything for you. Rick and Morty has done plenty of parodies before, but this is a rare episode that is solely devoted to jokes about a single property. The episode begins with Morty accidentally getting involved in the latest fight between Planetina ( Alison Brie) and a supervillain that controls acid rain. Even if the jokes don't land as well as in the past two episodes, A Rickconvenient Mort delivers a rare moment of sincerty for the show that once gave us Picke Rick. Even if we've seen Morty go through enough to age him horribly, he is still a hormonal teenager, not just in terms of his constant crude sex jokes the show does on his behalf, but also in terms of how emotional he can get. Bart Simpson will always be 10 and Morty will always stay 14. As we've discussed before, the thing about Rick and Morty and sitcoms is that the characters can never change, and they certainly cannot age.
