He’s not Aquaman. He’s way more pathetic.
During yesterday’s Adult Swim San Diego Comic-Con panel, Rick and Morty brisk plotting, it’s a lot to take in.
Mr. Nimbus, who bursts out of the ocean on a clamshell-like an Adult Swim parody of “The Birth of Venus,” is, according to Rick, his nemesis, which will certainly come as a disappointment to every person, monster, and abstract concept that already considered itself the mad scientist’s nemesis. And while Mr. Nimbus, unimpressive lord of the oceans, certainly seems like he’s going to be entertaining, the highlight of the clip is Morty’s choice to call long-time crush Jessica as he careens toward very likely death.
