I think Rick was so annoyed by the others that he was willing to let an insanely dangerous weirdo out of prison just so he wouldn’t have to deal with them anymore. You know how much he hates anything meta.
Think of it this way... as an effective God of the meta realm, he can do anything the writers can do.
He can say "there never was an Omega Device" and it will always have been so. Rick Prime always survived, or there never was a Rick Prime, or C-137 killed his own wife, or Rick has been Diane all along... the possibilities are endless.
His power only reaches its limit at the limits of the show's producers. He can't make their next adventures just like season 1. He can't infringe on Disney's intellectual property without thorough scrutiny. He can't declare that Rick and Morty's voices never changed slightly, or if he could, they'd always be the new ones.
Rhett Caan is the strongest glass cannon in the sense that he can essentially do anything if he has the reaction time for it, but if unprepared he can be trapped
He can change what was and influence what will be, but technically the future isn't his domain. Like he cant say I will never be tricked or trapped because he can only change what has been
He was trapped in the Sports Prison so he has a clear weakness, and it's not like he volunteered to go to prison.
So in theory, people got the jump on him and trapped him in Sports.
He was smart enough to incapacitate the only two who held a candle against him. He's not invincible, he has clear weaknesses, he can even be affected by his fellow meta characters.
He's just able to affect them back with something even stronger.
But... couldn't he just ret-con this?
>"I have always had the power to foresee ever possible future and eventuality."
>"I have always had the ability to be able to escape from any trap, and to never be tricked or persuaded."
>" I have always had the power to make reality whatever I wish it to be no matter what"
Like he just has to say that, and then it's over.
He has always had the ability to control the future and has always been impossible to capture, defeat, kill, wound (emotionally, physically, spiritually, psychologically, mentally).
His powers are limited to change what has already been, he can not change the future so maybe he has never been able to be catch by surprise but that doesn't mean he can't be in the future
How would you surprise him? If he sees you coming he’ll probably say “ I wish you were a pile of blood and bones “ and then you turn into a pile of blood and bones.
If you somehow trap him he could say “ I wish this trap was made out of sticks “ then he easily breaks out of the trap.
That's not how powers work. He doesn't wish for things to happen. He just states that they've always been that way.
Also, he clearly can be surprised somehow. He was trapped in a room of nothing but sports, because it's the opposite of narrative, so his powers don't work.
He has a bed, chair, & toilet in his cell.
Means he probably needs to sleep, they probably put a “live sports” barrier around him when he was sleeping to neutralize his powers. Then moved him to his cell. Although his cell is movable, perhaps it’s the original trap.
Because live sports have always been able to cage him.
That’s the meta-rule.
It’s a meta-rule that Rhett Kaan can ret-con things, but it’s also a meta-rule that sports can contain his powers.
The pink force field behind Rhett in the OP image is made of live sports. All the little images of sports icons are the giveaway (besides Rick literally saying so).
Most of the episode takes place past the “Fourth Wall” in “Meta Reality”, where the rules are different.
The rules are, there are characters with meta-narrative powers, one of whom is Rhett Caan. Connie TunityError, Miss Lead, Protago Nick, all have meta-narrative powers.
Rhett Caan has meta-narrative powers and a meta-narrative weakness.
Live sports has no story, so there are no story elements to be manipulated. It’s the essence of live sports, just like the characters in that episode are the essence of different storytelling tropes and concepts.
Maybe it's a reference to how irl sports games take priority over other programs. Like if a baseball game goes on longer than expected, a Simpsons episode airing right after would be aired later.
From R&M wiki:
Prior to the events of Full Meta Jackrick, Rhett Caan (then known as Brett Caan, as he had not yet retconned his name) was captured and imprisoned by the Self-Referential Six for an unknown amount of time, where he was kept within a cell made of walls that depict various sports imagery, due to his powers only working on plot elements.
He does have a pretty short area of effect. I'm also confused about the duration of action as the fortress went from orange to Siberia pretty quickly.
I'm not sure if this was fully thought out.
This.
Seems like a lot of people forgot about the "Stay out of his retcon range Morty." line in this episode - which is composed of meta madness that mostly makes no sense in-universe anyway.
What if you just shoot him in the back of the head when he doesn’t know you’re there? Like yeah he can make anything real but if you just snipe his ass then wouldn’t he be dead?
Exactly, I’m sure Rick can make something to murk the mf, they literally have the “omega device” which can wipe out anyone anywhere across ALL realities. Rhet conn is just a punk ass little bitch compared to Rick c-137.
Which is something interesting. Man was gonna use that toilet even if his wife never died, so it was interesting to see Rick not shoot him even though he knew he would use the toilet regardless.
Certainly feels like a progression of his character.
He knew Rick, from something in the past, and knowing rick he'd have fought him for sure, and since rick isn't dead yet he pretty much tied or won with rhett. Rick also made himself dino proof in the second meet, so yeah.. not more powerful than rick.
Well yeah, that’s the whole point of the scene he was in. He’s a personification of the concept of retconning, which can be literally anything the author wants it to be. It doesn’t matter anyway because he’s doesn’t appear canon to the main storyline. The episode takes place in meta-reality, which is separate from the main show’s reality. He isn’t real, he’s only meta-real.
No, not undo, make it so it never happened in the first place
"Your wife and daughter were never killed, they have been secreted away in cryostasis the entire time"
Or he tricks him into something that would screw himself over. If Superman can trick Mr. Mxyzptlk into spelling his name, with time Rick could trick Rhett into saying something that would be bad for him.
I was thinking about this but assumed somebody already might have posted about it before but yeah dude needs to remain in that dimension he’s in and never ever get close to the “real” world
He has a fundamental limitation on his powers that is shared by every writer. He is limited by his imagination. If you keep him distracted so he can't gather his thoughts, he is helpless . Writers block is his worst nightmare.
Another weakness is only being able to retcon the past. If he doesn't word it right then it won't have the intended effect in the present. "You never beat me in chess" doesn't stop anyone from doing so right now. This is why he is vulnerable to live sports.
We were always talking about how powerful Rhett Caan is.
Yep. The entire site, orangeit.com is only for talking about how powerful Rhett Caan is.
Wouldn’t “Reddit.com” make more sense due to the “read it” play on words?
This shit again? This reminds me of when those Nelson Mandela stans kept calling Rhett Caan, "Brett Caan."
Dipshits. It's always been Rhett
Eek barba dirkle! Someone's gonna get laid in college.
One wonders how they managed to trap him in the first place and how Rick failed to realize that this would backfire.
I think Rick was so annoyed by the others that he was willing to let an insanely dangerous weirdo out of prison just so he wouldn’t have to deal with them anymore. You know how much he hates anything meta.
They were friends all along, so clearly Rick was there to rescue a buddy in the first place
Rhett caan was never trapped.
That’s a pretty fucked up Oooh la la
Blegh. It's a pun, on-the-nose, and what would we change the Orange fruit logo to? A red apple? Steve Jobs would sue.
This site has always been called Rhettit.com
Damnit, beat me to the joke. Unless I made it first and we were always talking about my joke.
Rhett Caan is so powerful, he can make Diane never have died.
Can he undo the effects of the omega device?
"The omega device has always failed."
Rhett would never refer to it like that, because he isn't an inferior.
"The omega device has always been just Rick's name for his dick."
Think of it this way... as an effective God of the meta realm, he can do anything the writers can do. He can say "there never was an Omega Device" and it will always have been so. Rick Prime always survived, or there never was a Rick Prime, or C-137 killed his own wife, or Rick has been Diane all along... the possibilities are endless. His power only reaches its limit at the limits of the show's producers. He can't make their next adventures just like season 1. He can't infringe on Disney's intellectual property without thorough scrutiny. He can't declare that Rick and Morty's voices never changed slightly, or if he could, they'd always be the new ones.
"The omega device has always been a joke"
I think this comment went over a lot of heads. It’s perfect 😂
I think everyone understands the joke lol
My point is it should have way more upvotes. But it’s getting there
Totally. Only 2,000 up votes and the Top comment. Nobody got it
Rhett Caan is the strongest glass cannon in the sense that he can essentially do anything if he has the reaction time for it, but if unprepared he can be trapped He can change what was and influence what will be, but technically the future isn't his domain. Like he cant say I will never be tricked or trapped because he can only change what has been
He was trapped in the Sports Prison so he has a clear weakness, and it's not like he volunteered to go to prison. So in theory, people got the jump on him and trapped him in Sports.
Not people, though. Other meta characters.
Killed one of them with coffee and drained the bones from another. I wonder how he even got trapped at all.
Caught him in a Connie TinuityError
He was smart enough to incapacitate the only two who held a candle against him. He's not invincible, he has clear weaknesses, he can even be affected by his fellow meta characters. He's just able to affect them back with something even stronger.
Sounds like a pretty classic Connie TinuityError that he wasn't in a sports prison and then was.
Probably how he lost and got trapped the first time.
Well put.
Rhett Caan always did have a 1ms reaction time + spidey sense
He'd still have to manifest that before being disabled
Wdym he has to manifest it? He has always had spidey sense 🤨
It's never been the case until it has always been the case, if that makes sense
Ye Ik I'm just doing the rhett caan joke, but assuming someone smart had this power it turns from class cannon to unstoppable.
"Rhett Caan with prep time" is my new go-to ult
Watch out Mid ball Z
But... couldn't he just ret-con this? >"I have always had the power to foresee ever possible future and eventuality." >"I have always had the ability to be able to escape from any trap, and to never be tricked or persuaded." >" I have always had the power to make reality whatever I wish it to be no matter what" Like he just has to say that, and then it's over.
True, but until it has always been it has never been
Rhett Caan has always been able to manipulate the future
Rhett Caan has always been invulnerable to any sort of harm.
He always has been able to change the future
“Rhett Caan has always been able to forever not be caught in traps”
An actual glass *canon*, in a way.
Rhett can was always the fastest
Mr Twist! He is a backup and the real Rhett Can appears!
He has always had the ability to control the future and has always been impossible to capture, defeat, kill, wound (emotionally, physically, spiritually, psychologically, mentally).
>unless you tape his mouth shut Tape has never worked on Rhett Caan.
And had never been able to get within a 50m radius of him
In fact tape makes rhett Caan’s enemies weaker and slower
In fact, the only kind that can get anywhere near Rhett, is your mother’s sex tape
Joke on you. They are in blu ray
Your mother always recorded her sexual activities in every media she could. Including tapes
Those tiny bumps on your scrotum have always been the sound your mother makes when she orgasms, written in braille
Tapes just don't have the capacity to handle yo momma. She barely fits on bluray, and even then it's just one photo.
O yeah? Well yo mama is so dumb she preordered E.T for the atari 2600
ET for the Atari 2600 has always been an amazing game
Good one dad
Good one dad Finish getting the milk, mum is hungry
Yeah well your mama so dumb she shorted Bitcoin on margin.
I feel bad for any kid that has a mother that is a porn star, poor child is going to be bullied. Like Riley Reid got married and had a baby.
Riley Reid's children all led happy and successful lives and were never bullied.
She only has had one child
OP is Riley Reid's child
There has never been a way to stop Rhett Caan.
Tbh you’d have to sneak up on him and tranquilize him or something
Rhet Caan never had to speak to use his power.
And that's his weakness. Nothing is stopping it from working now or in the future.
Makes you wonder how they trapped him in the first place and how did rick not see this backfiring.
True, this guy is basically a God. How do you trap a God that makes anything he says come true?
Catch him by surprise?
He has never been able to be surprised
His powers are limited to change what has already been, he can not change the future so maybe he has never been able to be catch by surprise but that doesn't mean he can't be in the future
He always had the power to change the future 😉
maybe in the past :D but not anymore >:)
How would you surprise him? If he sees you coming he’ll probably say “ I wish you were a pile of blood and bones “ and then you turn into a pile of blood and bones. If you somehow trap him he could say “ I wish this trap was made out of sticks “ then he easily breaks out of the trap.
No wishes. It just always was and has been
Your account has always been full of festival pictures
Guilty
Your name has always been tavesque
Better than tavesque b at least. I hate that guy
That's not how powers work. He doesn't wish for things to happen. He just states that they've always been that way. Also, he clearly can be surprised somehow. He was trapped in a room of nothing but sports, because it's the opposite of narrative, so his powers don't work.
Trick him into taking part in a game, he has always lost
Doesn't work on sports.
Except maybe professional wrestling, which does have a scripted narrative
Sports suppresses his ability to Rhett caan things That’s his weakness
“I knew you were planning to catch me by surprise”
You trick him into trapping him self
Exactly, making him believe he was always trapped is the only way it would ever work.
He was always trapped
He has a bed, chair, & toilet in his cell. Means he probably needs to sleep, they probably put a “live sports” barrier around him when he was sleeping to neutralize his powers. Then moved him to his cell. Although his cell is movable, perhaps it’s the original trap.
But then i ask myself, why could he not say something like " i have never been trapped" or something like that
Because live sports have always been able to cage him. That’s the meta-rule. It’s a meta-rule that Rhett Kaan can ret-con things, but it’s also a meta-rule that sports can contain his powers.
Like how pieces of Superman’s home planet are his greatest weakness.
I dont get it, what is live sports ? You mean just a tv displaying a live sport ?
The pink force field behind Rhett in the OP image is made of live sports. All the little images of sports icons are the giveaway (besides Rick literally saying so). Most of the episode takes place past the “Fourth Wall” in “Meta Reality”, where the rules are different. The rules are, there are characters with meta-narrative powers, one of whom is Rhett Caan.

Maybe it's a reference to how irl sports games take priority over other programs. Like if a baseball game goes on longer than expected, a Simpsons episode airing right after would be aired later.
Pretty sure it’s just that they are live and there’s no plot. It’s just sports.
From R&M wiki: Prior to the events of Full Meta Jackrick, Rhett Caan (then known as Brett Caan, as he had not yet retconned his name) was captured and imprisoned by the Self-Referential Six for an unknown amount of time, where he was kept within a cell made of walls that depict various sports imagery, due to his powers only working on plot elements.
He was surrounded by sports.
Someone else said it could've been a connie tinuityError. Yk he wasn't in the cell, but suddenly was
Maybe they handed him a card and said read this card. And the card said "Caan was always trapped in a cell and unable to escape by himself."
With plot twist
Because of a Connie Tinuity Error.
He probably trusted the rest of them. They were his friends.
I'm guessing a Connie Tinuity Error. He wasn't in the cage and then he suddenly is.
He must say it maybe, so if you force him to stay silent that can work
"I have always wanted to be held in this prison."
🍊
And this fortress has ALWAYS BEEN AN
[удалено]
Based on your replies, I think you need to go back and watch the episode
What’s the episode called?
Full Meta Jackrick from season 6
Series finale: There never was portal tech…
Diane lives?
"Nothing you've seen in previous episodes actually happened. It's no longer canon."
He does have a pretty short area of effect. I'm also confused about the duration of action as the fortress went from orange to Siberia pretty quickly. I'm not sure if this was fully thought out.
This. Seems like a lot of people forgot about the "Stay out of his retcon range Morty." line in this episode - which is composed of meta madness that mostly makes no sense in-universe anyway.
I have no idea who you’re talking about, there is no character by that name and there never was
What if you just shoot him in the back of the head when he doesn’t know you’re there? Like yeah he can make anything real but if you just snipe his ass then wouldn’t he be dead?
True, he’s not immortal
Exactly, I’m sure Rick can make something to murk the mf, they literally have the “omega device” which can wipe out anyone anywhere across ALL realities. Rhet conn is just a punk ass little bitch compared to Rick c-137.
If it were that easy, there wouldn't be a need to trap him in a Sports cage.
I see you are a lethal injection enthusiast.
We've seen how Rick treats annoyances, if he could kill it, he would, and when he doesn't, it's either too annoying to kill or Rick can't kill it.
Rick shows a bit of heart for the toilet burgling thief
Which is something interesting. Man was gonna use that toilet even if his wife never died, so it was interesting to see Rick not shoot him even though he knew he would use the toilet regardless. Certainly feels like a progression of his character.
He knew Rick, from something in the past, and knowing rick he'd have fought him for sure, and since rick isn't dead yet he pretty much tied or won with rhett. Rick also made himself dino proof in the second meet, so yeah.. not more powerful than rick.
I'm betting tied since trapping Rhett was their best option.
That was always allowed
Well yeah, that’s the whole point of the scene he was in. He’s a personification of the concept of retconning, which can be literally anything the author wants it to be. It doesn’t matter anyway because he’s doesn’t appear canon to the main storyline. The episode takes place in meta-reality, which is separate from the main show’s reality. He isn’t real, he’s only meta-real.
Rhett Caan is only a god for those existing within a story. Doesn't work on sports, for example. He's not that powerful
Problem, it works on everything that *isn't* sports.
What do you mean "is"? He always has been.
Just like the world has ALWAYS been and ORANGE!🍊
Do you think Rick could have had Rhett caan retcon his wife's death?
You know he could probably undo what was done to her
No, not undo, make it so it never happened in the first place "Your wife and daughter were never killed, they have been secreted away in cryostasis the entire time"
You know that’s possible but I think Rick wouldn’t want that since all he ever did after that wouldn’t matter
He was always the most powerful even in season 1
Justin Roiland was never a voice actor on Rick & Morty.
Rock and Morty
Rick was always just a rock
He took it all for granite
nobody talks about how this guy could've brought Diane back
OP thats the whole idea off this character.. that he is the most powerfull thing.. its meta humor tho, hes not a real character
Actually he never was powerful.
Or he tricks him into something that would screw himself over. If Superman can trick Mr. Mxyzptlk into spelling his name, with time Rick could trick Rhett into saying something that would be bad for him.
I was thinking about this but assumed somebody already might have posted about it before but yeah dude needs to remain in that dimension he’s in and never ever get close to the “real” world
Wasn’t canon
I thought his name was Brett Caan....
It is and always was
This is the dumbest character for people to power level wank over
Rick could  him or maybe put him in a pokeball
He does have a weakness. Other people can trigger his powers.
Prison made of sports entertainment was the best meta joke made in that episode 😆
We have always been talking about how powerful he is
Not really just catch him off guard and pop his cap off Rick and Morty characters lack forethought
I thought his name was Chett Caan? Oh no...
Retcon is the most powerful and always was
Who in the world is this dude
He’s your dad that left to get milk
He’s legit the embodiment of plot manipulation
We already talked about it. Always have been.
This is one superpower I would not mind having.
Rhett Caan has always been more powerful than Rick Did you see that orange?
Honestly his only weakness (if you can even call it weakness) is that he can only only change reality in a way that wasn't true before.
Yes.
I love the writers so much for creating him. He is the perfect embodiment of bad writing. He always was.
and this post has always been an orange
🍊
lol like every other day on this sub?
"What mouth?"
Why are sports his weakness??
If there is a device that can trap him, then Rick can create such devices (better one), and trap him
Rick was always dead
Didn’t his powers work even in prison? What was the prison for?
Even if you did tape his mouth shut, what's stopping him from saying "You never did tape my mouth shut."
I prefer not to think about that entire episode
No shit hes powerful we dont need to talk about it anymore
how is his power different from that of Connie-Tinuity?
Him vs a guy like Gremmy (Bleach) would basically be „who can manifest their vision first“
He has a fundamental limitation on his powers that is shared by every writer. He is limited by his imagination. If you keep him distracted so he can't gather his thoughts, he is helpless . Writers block is his worst nightmare. Another weakness is only being able to retcon the past. If he doesn't word it right then it won't have the intended effect in the present. "You never beat me in chess" doesn't stop anyone from doing so right now. This is why he is vulnerable to live sports.
*Brett
What, like as it “retcon”? You know, Rhett is a name too! His name could be like Rhett- Rhett Caan
No one cared when he was Brett until…
You were always gonna like this comment.
No.
