Magic Versus Science Portals

Text on the meme

Catching up on episodes of Rick and Morty. Rick’s circular, flat, (green) spacetime portal greatly resembles the circular, flat (sparkly) portal of Marvel’s Doctor Strange. Doctor Strange opens his portal with Magic. But Rick opens his portal with Science. Just sayin’.

What it means

The joke claims that Doctor Strange uses magic while Rick achieves a similar result through science, humorously contrasting the two fictional universes.
