Critics Consensus

Morty loses yet another vestige of his innocence in a perversely funny installment that deflates the hero mythos while inflating viewers' suspicion that Rick might just be the worst.

IndieWire

If there's anything from "Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender" episode that's truly memorable, it's more brilliant work from the always-reliable Lance Reddick.

Rated: B

Jack Shepherd

Independent (UK)

This week saw our beloved duo head off on one of their funniest, most deranged adventures yet, mixing superhero film tropes with family drama, sprinkled with unhealthy nihilism.

Metro

Goes from 0-100 after the big reveal, at the "defeat" of Worldender, with a masterful balance of darkness and humor only Rick and Morty has.

Flickering Myth

Rick's darker tendencies have always been one of the driving forces behind the show, so having him play the antagonist was a really nice touch here. The episode also introduced us to one of the season's best characters -- Noop Noop.
