![]() ![]() In the episode, Morty swoons over Planetina, who saves him and Rick from the acid-spewing Diesel Weasel (a great name that I can’t believe wasn’t already been swooped up by a ’90s cartoon). However, it’s surprising that A Rickconvenient Mort would so heavily focus on parodying Captain Planet given the lack of solid jokes it has to make at the old show’s expense, and how little time it spends on the most interesting aspect of its spin on the character. It’s an odd target for Rick and Morty, though given the show’s popularization of McDonald’s Mulan-themed Szechuan sauce, it’s not out of character for creator Dan Harmon to riff on something that’s a little outdated. Planetina is an obvious riff on Captain Planet, the eco-friendly and incredibly ’90s superhero that has been already been parodied extensively over the years.
