Written by Heather Anne Campbell and directed by Lucas Gray, it aired on Cartoon Network's nighttime programming block Adult Swim on November 5, 2023.
Rick shows Morty a planet where its inhabitants, who are otherwise identical to humans, turn into the best spaghetti in the universe if they commit suicide, but not if they die by any other means.
"That's Amorte" was written before co-creator Justin Roiland was fired from the series, but features his voice actor replacements Ian Cardoni (as Rick) and Harry Belden (as Morty).
Co-creator Dan Harmon said that suicide and society's interpretation of its morality was the source of "very dark cosmic mirth", but that the show's nihilism should not be "punishing empathy".
[3] The montage is similar to one in "Mortynight Run", wherein Roy—a video game character played by Morty—experiences childhood sporting success, marries his love interest from school, and overcomes cancer.
However, he believed the message of "individualistic rebellion against unfair systems" had been conveyed better in previous episodes, such as "Final DeSmithation" or "The Ricklantis Mixup".
[4] Lex Briscuso of IGN praised the choreography of the montage, including the cover of "Live Forever" by Oasis, saying that the show uses "realistic and moving emotionality" sparingly and effectively.
