Captain Planet analogue goes crazy and kills coal workers - Morty is devastated, he agrees it's right to feel bad the planet's dying but the ep implies the correct answer is to do nothing.
Not even 'subversive' Rick and Morty could dare suggest blowing up coal/gas plants without demonising the act (it's quite doable to do such a thing without killing workers....)
Ala a recent trend in modern blockbusters where villains are morally correct in their actions right up until they kills civilians for no reason- just to force a third act showdown, effectively negating their positive ideas.
Also there's an opening joke that is an explicit merch promotion that isn't even ironically done. Just a shitty shirt effectively done to camera. At least Schezuan sauce actually made sense in the show, this was just pure shit. The other eps are good, but the industry in culture industry will rear its head anytime you get big.
it's leftist hack to say, but if Batman redistributed his wealth into the community, villains like the Penguin and Falcones wouldn't have a quarter of their control, and if Batman made public healthcare possible, perhaps even the more maniacal villains like Joker and Riddler wouldn't exist.
