- Desperately Seeking A Purpose In Life: Morty begins the story wondering if he is meant to do anything important or if he’ll remain a non-entity for the rest of his life.
- Innocence Lost: Each one of his misadventures with Rick wears away at Morty’s innocence, with the last dregs of it vanishing with the Federation’s invasion of Earth.
- Ridiculously Average Guy: In-Universe, Morty contemptuously views himself as a boring blank slate with nothing to offer society.
- Stunned Silence: Morty’s reaction to seeing his drunken Mad Scientist grandfather burst into his home is a quiet shock.
