Far from reflecting the age group he appears to belong to, Rick Sanchez's attitude is actually a mirror of the late adolescent mindset of Rick and Morty’s core demographic. The “Rick stage” around your late teens and early 20s is when your brain is at the peak of its power, life feels full of adventure, and you might sometimes think you’re the smartest person in the multiverse. Most people eventually trade in this late-adolescent “Rick stage” of arrogant independence for grown-up responsibility and commitment, but that does require sacrifice. Rick (and viewers who relate to him) may not know, or want to know, who they are behind their grandiose sense of self. Here’s our Take on how Rick Sanchez, the oldest adolescent in the galaxy, personifies this particular moment of life right before we cave to adulthood.
