Rex Sanchez

One of my favorite shows, Rick and Morty, depicts the arrogance of the smartest being in the universe. Rick Sanchez, the most intelligent being, is one of the most hubris characters I've ever seen; Rick and Morty centers around Rick's self inflicted demise, Rick's only true enemy is himself. Rick reminds me of Oedipus, or rather vice versa. Oedipus stubbornness lead him to uncover the ugly truth that leads him to gauge his eyes out and sends him into exile. Oedipus accuses others to be his enemies, but these accusations only point to the true enemy, Oedipus himself. Rick'a intelligence is his downfall, Oedipus' hubris and stubbornness is his enemy.
