Captain Planet analogue goes crazy and kills coal workers - Morty is devastated, he agrees it's right to feel bad the planet's dying but the ep implies the correct answer is to do nothing.
Not even 'subversive' Rick and Morty could dare suggest blowing up coal/gas plants without demonising the act (it's quite doable to do such a thing without killing workers....)
Ala a recent trend in modern blockbusters where villains are morally correct in their actions right up until they kills civilians for no reason- just to force a third act showdown, effectively negating their positive ideas.
Also there's an opening joke that is an explicit merch promotion that isn't even ironically done. Just a shitty shirt effectively done to camera. At least Schezuan sauce actually made sense in the show, this was just pure shit. The other eps are good, but the industry in culture industry will rear its head anytime you get big.
Nah this is a bad take. In the episode Morty doesn't even say that she's wrong for doing the things she's doing (which btw massacring miners is actually wrong), he just personally can't be around her if she's doing them. Like he has the power to stop her the entire time and doesn't, and lets her go at the end to do her ecoterrorist thing, he just personally can't be in a relationship with someone who's doing that.

Yeah the right thing to do would be to continue this relationship and steer her into continuing to do the stuff she was doing right before she killed the miners.
