Rick was completely unaware of this because he's been to other planets in parallel universes where they don't exist and thus never bothered to check.

* SchizoTech: The inhabitants of the Solar System's other planets are simultaneously medieval fiefdoms armed with swords and extremely advanced civilizations with casual interplanetary travel and weapons of mass destruction. Morty's very confused by the whole thing.

* WeirdWorldWeirdFood: While Rick and Morty go to an asteroid checking out a pop up food stand, there's another vendor selling hot dog-like fish creatures. Apparently they're sentient and have rights, as the stinger shows an alien special agent busting the vendor as well the trafficking ring that supplied them and setting the hot dogs free into an ocean.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Over and over and over the Knights of the Sun boof it. They fail to explain that it's a kind of ritual YouKillItYouBoughtIt situation with becoming a knight, then fail to explain that you have to cut your dick off to join, then spring that you have to beat the king in combat in order to leave, only for that to turn out to be ''another'' YouKillItYouBoughtIt, and then it turns out that they've all been incredibly stupid about their religion and thought the solar system literally orbited the scepter when really it was a political metaphor.

* RewatchBonus: Rick's uncharacteristicly supportive behavior for the majority of the episode becomes that much more obvious after watching [[Recap/RickAndMortyS6E10RicktionalMortpoonsRickmasMortcation the episode that would follow]]. He tells Morty he'll try being about 22% nicer and more supportive for about an episode, and immediately deflects the idea of being a robot or a clone when Morty questions if he is. One episode later, we learn that this Rick actually is a robot who was programmed with SuspiciouslySpecificDenial to throw off anyone from catching onto the possibility that he was a robot. Indeed, his 22% nicer attitude only lasts for one episode.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Rick for a good chunk of the episode. While he ''wants'' to be supportive, years of mocking those kind of relationships left him with little concept of how to do it, and he can't think of much more than being just a yes-man and praising Morty for everything, mistakes included, in ways that feel like sarcastic jabs. He does get better by the end of the episode, learning to do things like provide actual comfort, truly listening and helping proactively.

*** Speaking of, in the original "Vat of Acid" episode Morty's issue with the plan was how unnecessary and overcomplicated it was, since Rick had easier and better options to get out of trouble, and seemingly stick to it just because of his pride and ignoring Morty's objections. Here not only he listens to Morty, but the vat itself is a desperate last resort when all the other plans have failed, which is why Morty doesn't have the same objections to it.
