Does anyone else think it rings really hollow when the show or a writer in interviews tries to refute Rick's attitude that nothing matters because there is an endless multiverse? Because no matter how they try to "say" otherwise, the actions of the characters in the show itself indicates otherwise.

You know the version of Jerry who learned being a celebrity wasn't necessarily a better path than what he took, learned his son was more important than admiration of ignorant Plutonians, bonded with Doofus Rick and helped save a deer? That one unceremoniously replaced the one who bonded with Beth after the Meeseekses, went through the simulation and learned to accept his parents new life style, after that one got trapped in a cronenberged reality. In turn, he got unceremoniously replaced at the daycare and it was unknown if it even happened for a long time, then got definitively written out and forgotten himself after some nightmare fuel happened to him. And this is far from the only one character this happens to, you know Birdperson? Yeah, real noble of Rick to save that one version of him who got brainwashed and cyborg instead of just grabbing a new version of him because "that's not how that works", the problem? That's not the Birdperson he was friends with back in the day and it's not the current version of Birdperson either. The current version is, at least third one he's interacted with and he just treats it like he's only ever interacted with one.

Why should I care to take anything about the claims that Rick is wrong about nothing mattering because of the multiverse, when the vast majority of what is shown indicates that he's right anyway? If he was wrong, then people and thing wouldn't be considered interchangeable with their alternate counterparts but no matter how much they try to pay lip service to the idea that they aren't, it's hard to take seriously when it's actually shown to be the case that they are interchangeable over and over and over again...
