Now, the show’s co-creator Justin Roiland has opened up about the introduction and revealed why it took so long to bring the character to life on Rick and Morty.
Speaking to The Wrap about Mr. Nimbus’ debut in the Season 5 premiere, Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland noted how he felt like this particular nemesis was just one in a long line of Rick’s enemies, “I imagine Rick has a quote-unquote nemesis character sort of sprinkled in every nook and cranny all across the galaxy, all across the cosmos, the multiverse,” Roiland began.
“But with a character like Rick, who is just so invincible, it’s hard to write for a character like that where you have the audience going, ‘Oh, Rick can do anything.’” Roiland stated.
