my favorite summary of Morty's damage is that he's both Angron-lite and Konrad-lite. He has the physical scarring of Angron, just not to the extreme of Butcher's Nails, and the mental scarring of Kurze, but no fricked up Minority Report visions and bullshit. The issue is, him having both those problems makes him comparably as broken as they were.
And also this.
He's been played as a sympathetic "love me sons, 'ate me tyrants" and completely 180'd as a cartoon villain because the disparity in writers is fricked.
I absolutely love the Death Guard and Typhus is my go too favorite lil dude, but Morty makes it difficult to love Nurgle factions fully.

Wraight fixed this in Warhawk.
I think the Death Guard as plague marines went to shit after 8th edition. They always were bitter and resentful as Morty himself was bitter and resentful. They finally felt free and being able to strike back (which parallels with Morty's fight with his original adopted father) only to end up pressed ganged against their will into Nurgle's service (which parallels with Morty's issues with Emps). Morty had the same experience twice, and as a result ended up even more bitter, forced to endure cruel service even beyond death changed into a physical mockery of both of his fathers. The fact they march to war surrounded by Nurgle's happy servants is a mockery to a God who is enjoying their torment.
However the writers and designers decided that Nurgle=Cartoon happy everywhere and turned them into smiley, overly mutated and overly designed meme villains given them stupid names like Bile McFartyspew or Smega E Coli. It just doesn't work.
Its really sad seeing Mort go from this young man helping humans in the fog "just because" and smiling because he had found his purpose, to a turbosperg who can't get his head out of his ass and grow as a person. >Aaaaugh! It's survival of the fittest! If you can't take what you want you don't deserve it to begin with!!! >*Emp smotes Necare* >Oh wow, maybe we do need help from others, no matter how strong and determined we are.
I get that his dad literally stole his hero moment and accomplished the one thing he had spent his whole life building towards, but out of all Primarch's it feels like Morty is one of the few least obsessed with glory. He should've just been happy Barbarus was free.
Though if you want to be more specific, it was his inferiority complex, exasperated by him being mentally fricked in the head, just not as much as some of his other brothers.

pretty much nail it in regards to what his deal is.
Fricking hate what they did with HH and the primarchs, clearly the writers are too low IQ for such a big story.
The traitors should have been their own unique characters, not just caricatures of their 40k CSM legions. For example Angron could have been the empathetic healer or something like that, Sanguinius-tier etc... Something starkly different to what they became in the end to make the betrayal more inpactful and the Heresy more dramatic.
Yeah, but his was that Primarch in 30K were spitting images of what their Legions would become as traitors. Not a single one of them underwent actual development aside from plot-mandated ones like Death Guard or Thousand Sons suffering their fates, for example.
Angron, even with Butcher's Nails shows an innate love and kinship with those he fought with, to the point where he was ready to die with them just to give one middle finger to the slavers that trapped them all. A lot of people like to believe that without the nails, he would have been one of the most compassionate Primarchs and likely on the level of Vulkan in his drive to protect the weak.

I kind of like the whole >nurg demons = happy
It plays in with his theme of acceptance of the end, you don't have anything to worry about if you're with nurgle, it's just pure stagnancy. The newer DG recruits being a bit more jovial than the original legion is nice and keeps them from being purely edgelords. It's a nice contrast compared to almost every other faction being grim determination, the DG being kind of good natured sadists.
>good natured sadists.
Yes and no, it's all part of Nurgle's deal and modus operandi. Yes he will take away all which plagues ya, but he lives off suffering, despair and people generally getting shafted.
You become free from all that, but the price is that you will spend your life inflicting everything you tried to escape on others. And you'l enjoy it.

Just going to link this post, as I don't feel like writing more on Morty a second time
