It’s not the first time Rick and Morty have taken time out of their busy schedule to drop a little endorsement, and it’s no surprise that they’d give a little push to God of War Ragnarök.
In a rapid little short, Rick and Morty nail most of the things you’d expect from a God of War skit – shaved heads, a leviathan axe and murderous birds:
It’s a very generous portion of ‘fine’. Like I mentioned above, the Rick and Morty crew have generously shilled other properties in the past – and this one seems to fall a little flat. I’d even go so far as to say that series creator Justin Roiland sounds downright flat when voicing Rick in this microtoon – almost phoning in the smartest man in the universe.
Or maybe it’s a deep meta-commentary on the state of commercialisation. Are we slaves to advertising? Is the fictional character of Rick Sanchez deeply aware he is a puppet, forced to dance for console gamers?
Maybe I need a higher IQ to get it.
Are you a fan of Rick and Morty? Is this the God of War crossover you have been dreaming of? Let us know in the comments or on social media.
Known throughout the interwebs simply as M0D3Rn, Ash is bad at video games. An old guard gamer who suffers from being generally opinionated, it comes as no surprise that he is both brutally loyal and yet, fiercely whimsical about all things electronic. On occasion will make a youtube video that actually gets views.
