‘Rick and Morty’ Season 5 Premiere Opening Scene Introduces Rick’s Nemesis
Get schwifty, Mr. Nimbus is coming!
Adult Swim released Rick and Morty’s Season 5 cold open ahead of tonight’s premiere. The cold open — the small scene that comes before the opening credits — shows us with an almost-death situation, in which we also get to know Rick’s true nemesis.
Rick and Morty Season 5’s first cold open starts with Morty carrying a bleeding Rick through a strange alien planet, filled with crystal that shows the duo’s alternate realities. Rick thinks this might be the end to him, as he may not survive, while Morty tries to convince his grandpa that they’ll make it. As the duo passes in front of crystal showing up the Blade universe teased in a previous trailer, a giant octopus monster shows up, devouring crystals and chasing the duo. Morty gets them both into Rick’s spaceship, escapes the monster, and saves their lives by crashing into Earth’s ocean.
