Portal gun how does it work

The fifth season came to an end with a number of huge reveals that answered many questions fans have had over the course of the series thus far. But even with all of those questions now answered, many more have started to emerge as the franchise has broken itself wide open with not only a full explanation of how its multiverse works but the tease that its multiverse is not the only multiverse available. That's why one of the biggest teases comes towards the end of the Season 5 finale, "Rickmurai Jack," that implies that not only is Rick's portal gun no longer operational , but the specific fluid to make it work is no longer available to him.

But there are still many lingering questions about whether or not this is truly the case, and if the series can actually bring an end to something so ubiquitous to the series as the Portal Gun. The final episode of the season officially brings back Evil Morty following his being elected President of the Citadel back in the third season. Date Posted: 2 Oct, pm. Posts: 9.

It is a metal grey gun-like controller with a black dial which is used to select a destination as shown on a red-green LED display. In earlier episodes there is also a red display on the bottom of the parallelepiped muzzle which has an unknown function.

It is also unknown whether or not the dial also functions as a button. A small hatch on the handle opens up to reveal the self-destruct button. When shot, it generates an opaque green portal , acting like jelly when touched. It is assumed that the Portal Gun can be used to portal to another location in the same universe, however, based on the gun's design the inclusion of only a simple dial to input destination and the coloration of its portals, an argument could be made that the Portal Gun can only be used to transport a traveler to a location that is, in some sense, the same location in a different universe.

However, that would imply that anyone or anywhere that Rick visits via portal technology exists in a different universe. Consequently, this would also mean that any Rick exiting a portal within the same universe would also be an alternate version of himself, instead of the original subject who entered. It's unclear how exactly the Portal Gun is controlled.

Rick at multiple times can be seen instantly reconfiguring it as he sees fit, without any visible action or effort, so it might be controlled telepathically; however, Morty has to manually adjust its controls on the handle to tune it to select an exit destination.

The portals work in both directions until the portal collapses, which takes varying amount of time presumably regulated by user. Portals can be created under any angle, not just vertically, across a solid surface or in thin air.

Portals are opaque, and the user cannot see the other side until they actually enter, as seen with the Blender Dimension portal. Larger devices of similar design are used on the Citadel, either as portals to transport large objects like trash , or to teleport the entire Citadel if needed without creating an actual portal. This means his portal gun is a plot device used to move the story forward. It works because the writers allow it to, not because of any logical or scientific reason.
