Honestly something turns me off about Rick's canon. The show wasn't meant for it.

I think the show functions a lot better of there being no real backstory and we learn about Rick through day to day moments that open a window to what he is without ever showing it. So much of the show is centered on not needing a definite plot, and it really doesn't feel like they were building up to this, so this and the Birdperson episode feel a little forced or fanservicey. He doesn't ever hunt for that specific Rick in any other episode despite it being a huge part of his life's motivation post Diane. He doesn't show appreciation for Beth being alive, he hates Jerry for taking Beth's youth even though his Beth died when she was a child so he couldn't have known about Jerry. It doesn't add up.

That being said, the idea that Rick would section off part of the multiverse just for himself to keep feeling in control of his life is very well within his character to do prior to this, but not really this specific Rick.

It's possible that C137 Rick is the only actual Rick in this universe and each Rick is their own "C137" in their own timeline.

I kind of wish there was a fight between Rick and Evil Morty but in some ways it's more badass that there wasn't since Evil Morty would be so prepared as to win without fighting. Golden portal was cool, I think that was a metaphor for this string of plot or canon leaving the show. Would be cool if Evil Morty ends up saving a Rick Ina some other universe or something to tie it all back to their dynamic. Or if it was just a channel on interdimensional cable lol.

I really thought during the evil reveal, Rick and Morty would just straight up leave and go home and do some other shit lol
