Dan Harmon Wants Rick and Morty to Run for 100 Years as President Curtis Spinoff Nears
9A 9 by its headline: humanitarian & sage, and therefore the closing.
Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon has a bold vision for the Adult Swim hit: he wants it to run for a full century. Yes, you read that right — 100 years. Harmon isn't just dreaming big; he genuinely believes animated comedies are built for eternity, unlike their live-action counterparts that know when to take a bow.

What the 9 brings is reckoning. The headline frames this as this development. Whatever else this report is doing, it is doing it with the 9's sense of a cycle closing and something being released.
Heart's Desire 9, Personality 9: the story wants exactly what it appears to want, which is reckoning — an unusually undivided reading.
The 9 asks you to work out what survived the ending. The 9 sentimentalises. An ending is not automatically a meaning, and the reference tries not to pretend otherwise. The other reports that reduce to 9 are collected on The Closing.
