Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
It was only a matter of time before Rick and Morty gave us a superhero episode. As we've already seen this season, the show isn't really at its best when it focuses too heavily on parodying a specific franchise or genre trope. Luckily, "Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender" was just loose and frenetic enough to avoid the mistakes made by "Rickmancing the Stone." The superhero elements were merely garnish on a very dark character study of a new episode.
Writers Sarah Carbiener and Erica Rosbe took an amusing approach with setting the stage for this conflict, presenting it as a sequel of sorts to a previous team-up between Rick, Morty and the dysfunctional super-team known as the Vindicators, a team-up that we've never actually seen before. Adding another layer to that fun premise is the fact that neither Rick and Morty were aware that there was a "Vindicators 2." Right away, that set the stage for an interesting and unusually frigid dynamic between Rick and and Morty. Morty clearly idolizes the Vindicators in a way he never could for his cool but eternally self-centered grandfather, and Rick can't help but be jealous of that on some level.
