Nah, that guy you called "Rick" is Meppa, worshipping the Inverse Fire with his glorious singing and dancing act. In the video, reflections from the IF can be seen very clearly, on the wall in the evening scenes.
As Scott's first attempt to simultaneously illustrate the terrific movie potential of the Second Apocalypse, give his fans a preview of TUC and clear up all these misconceptions about Meppa, I think it's overall very well executed. Maybe this particular scene is somewhat too spoilerific for some, even though it is very powerful.
Are those women Serwa and Theliopa btw?
