Is Jerry from Rick and Morty actually immortal

A Useless Coward or a Death Evading Genius? Here’s How Jerry Might Be the Cleverest ‘Rick and Morty’ Character to Ever Live and Never Die

Dan Harmon’s genius effortlessly comes alive on-screen with the hilarious and
mind-bending Rick and Morty. From the high-concept meta storytelling to the
stylistic animation, everything comes together beautifully around the
brilliantly-written characters. Whether it’s the grandpa-grandson dynamic of the
titular characters Rick and Morty or Beth’s ability to keep them in check, even
Summer has amazing chemistry with the rest of the group.



However, one character that receives a lot of flack, is Jerry. He is one of the
most incompetent and downright hopeless people on the show, according to fans,
particularly for his cowardice and annoying nature. But could this very trait
make him somewhat special?


IS JERRY FROM RICK AND MORTY IMMORTAL?

Married to Rick’s daughter, Beth, Jerry is the father to Morty and Summer. He
started off as a classic center among eccentrics, i.e., the helpless guy stuck
between complex family dynamics. You couldn’t help but feel sorry for the guy in
the first few episodes of Rick and Morty
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/rick-and-morty/]. But that took a drastic
180-degree turn as we got to know Jerry better. He transformed into a lethal
combination of a spineless character full of insecurities with a false sense of
confidence.

Yet, there is actual evidence and foreshadowing that there’s no way we can get
rid of his irritating personality. It is what makes the guy immortal. #51 titled
Death Becomes Him, a Rick and Morty issue created by Magdalene Visaggio, Kyle
Starks, Ian McGinty, and Marc Ellerby points to Jerry’s secret ability. And it
will only make you dislike him further.

The adventure has Rick, Morty and Jerry attempting to rob a water heater that
has heating as well as healing properties. The mission involves substantial risk
and ends up with Jerry getting shot in the head and dying. While being escorted
to the beyond by Death

themselves, Jerry’s signature exasperating and tiresome personality comes to the
forefront. He literally annoys Death to the point of no return, and they drop
him off back to earth.

And if that wasn’t enough, Jerry’s reaction just takes the cake. There isn’t an
ounce of surprise for Jerry after he is back on earth in his human body. In
fact, he smugly mutters, “Works every time.” This clearly indicates that Jerry
is well aware of his power. While he might not die, his insufferable personality
traits and constant whining are sure to put others in grave danger. That is if
they don’t kill themselves already out of frustration.

No wonder Rick believes that his brilliant daughter Beth is wasting her
potential on the likes of Jerry. Do you also believe that Jerry from Rick and
Morty is immortal? And will this power prove to be a surprising asset instead of
a predictable liability? Let us know in the comments. Meanwhile, stream
