Unfortunately, this experiment proved a profound failure uponRick and Morty: The Animes release.
Rick and Morty: The Animeearned a mere 2.7IMDbrating, a far cry fromRick and Mortys 9.6 rating.
AfterRick and Mortys season 7 endingwowed critics and fans alike, this was a disappointing surprise.
However,Rick and Mortys largely forgotten earlier spinoff could have warned viewers what they were in for.
Released in 2022, this superhero spoof also flopped.
UnlikeRick and Mortys disappointing 2024 spinoff, theVindicatorsseries featured few appearances from familiar characters and configs.

Tonally, the web series had an odd feel that was undeniably an acquired taste.
This premise had potential, although earlier efforts like 2000’sThe Specialshad played with the conceit before.
The world of the show felt distinctly disconnected fromRick and Morty’s reality.
This uncertainty made the shows tone tough to pin down.
TheVindicatorsseries had little to offer that viewers hadnt already seen.
However, this wasnt what killed interest in the spinoff.
Ultimately, the biggest issue with the spinoff was thattheVindicatorsspinoff didnt feel like an extension of theRick and Mortyuniverse.
The web series was fine when judged on its own merits, if a little thin.
