Fans shares their views about another amazing pop culture reference in episode 7 of Rick and Morty season 4.

Fans Discuss Idris Elba Starrer Aliens Reference In &#8216;Rick and Morty&#8217; Season 4 Episode 7

The mad grandpa scientist and a fretful grandson have become the best duo of
animation series on Netflix. Even after being the most bizarre and eccentric
show filled with eponymous characters, Rick and Morty turned out to be
successful in all the seasons. The endings of every season, especially, blasted
the minds of the audience. Moreover, the show is famous for pop culture
references that attract them to the show. One of these instances includes a call
out to a popular movie from Aliens franchise, famous for haunting visual
grandeur and compelling characters. Let’s dive deeper to know how this show has
portrayed the aliens in episode 7 of season 4 and what fans have to say about
it.


THE PROMETHEUS CONNECT IN RICK AND MORTY EPISODE PROMORTYUS

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

The seventh episode of Adult Swim, written by Jeff Loveness in season
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-will-rick-and-morty-season-6-have-more-inside-jokes/]
4 of Rick and Morty, depicted face-hugging semelparous alien parasites named
Glorzo. In the episode, we see the minds of Rick and Morty have been overpowered
by these aliens, and they do not remember anything. This is similar to the 2012
prequel of Aliens Prometheus, an alien race that can take over others’ bodies as
hostile parasites.

Also, we see that Rick is the scientist who explores interdimensional universes
to find out new things, just like Idris Elba played the role of the captain of
the spaceship. In Ridley Scott’s highly anticipated sci-fi drama, he ventures on
a journey to explore the darkest parts of the universe and subsequently finds
out about this hostile alien species. The creators of the show have drawn a very
close reflection of Elva’s movie, whether it’s the characters or those
mind-controlling aliens.

Moreover, there is another important reference many might have overlooked when
Rick and Morty go back to save Summer. Surprisingly, they find out that she has
been worshipped by Glorzo as some goddess. In that scene, Summer explained that
due to a toothpick in her mouth, Facehuggers couldn’t latch her face, as she
convinced them to control their constant reproduction.

Morty’

This scene connected episode 7 to the 2012 movie Prometheus, as we saw that Shaw
became pregnant with a squid-like creature. Therefore, the reference represented
that these aliens are always active in reproduction and even use their hostile
bodies for it. And some Redditors were quick to notice this reference.
