Watch Rick and Morty mega-punch an alien in new season 4 teaser
But what you really want to see is a release date for the next episodes. (Spoiler: There isn't one.)

We still don't know when we'll see the second half of Rick and Morty's fourth season.
The last we saw of Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty, they were inadvertently starting a war on the planet of the snakes. That episode, the fifth of season 4, aired in December. Despite a new teaser from Adult Swim, which you can enjoy below, the release date for the next five episodes of Rick and Morty remains up in the air.

At least Rick's having fun, morphing himself and Morty into a massive robot and punching an alien. The clip pays homage to the Super Sentai Series, a Japanese superhero team who feature in multiple TV shows and movies from the '70s, later becoming the basis of the Power Rangers.
Paper Panther and Titmouse Animation are behind the clip, using stop-motion. This isn't the first Rick and Morty teaser to bring a different style of animation: Another clip from February featured Rick torturing Morty in a video game.
Given many people are self-isolating due to the COVID-19 outbreak, there's a chance we'll see the next lot of Rick and Morty episodes soon enough. In the meantime, some feel-good TV shows and movies make good filler.
