Are the Mega Trees hiding a huge Rick Sanchez secret?

The story of Rick and Morty first started when scientist Rick Sanchez returned to Earth and reunited with his daughter Beth.

He had been gone for 20 years and his daughter was so delighted to see him again, she invited Rick to live with them.

This led to Rick going on many adventures with grandson Morty, using the many universe-travelling gadgets he had created over the years.

While Rick isn’t exactly a loving grandfather, he is a genius and knows everything that there is to know about space, the multiverse and the existence of other realities.

Fans have been questioning for years how Rick came to be this smart.

While many have said he is just naturally extremely clever, others believe there is an outside source which has contributed to his superior intellect.

There is a fan theory that it is actually the Mega Trees which have caused Rick to become the genius that he is today.

So what exactly are the Mega Trees and how could they help Rick?

Mega Trees are a species of tree which grow in Dimension 35-C.

In the pilot episode of the animated series, Rick seeks out these trees for their seeds which he says are very important for his research.

A fan has since taken to Reddit to explain Rick is actually using the seeds to keep up his level of intelligence.

Reddit user Igivefreetickles said: “In the pilot episode we learn about Mega Trees and Mega Seeds, that are important for Rick’s research.

“We also know that Rick has used them before. When Morty was on the seeds, he was highly intelligent but when the effects of the seed faded, he was drooling from his mouth.

“Which is what we see from Rick, often.

“I think Rick used to seeds to make a super juice that enhances brain function.”

Agreeing with the theory, one fan said: “Rick is super smart already and super mega smart with the seeds.”

A second elaborated: “Maybe all the Ricks use the seeds?

“The Rick from the dimension with the mega seeds could have been the first one to use them, he creates the portal device, then finds the Ricks from the other dimensions.”

A third fan added: “I’d say that the flask is full of booze and mega seed juice.

“The booze because he’s a raging alcoholic, the seeds to counteract the booze and keep him on the level.”

In a Reddit Q&A, co-creator Justin Roiland was asked about what was in Rick’s flask to which he replied: “We’re not ready to discuss the contents of Rick’s flask yet”.

After the revelations of season four with daughter Beth, the upcoming series could finally explain more about Rick’s past as well as what makes him a genius.

Rick and Morty is available to watch on Adult Swim.
