Bottomline Is I Think Morgan Is An Incredibly Empathetic Character And I Wish That Aspect Of His Character Was Better Explored - Tumblr Posts

My brain isn't working fantastically right now so this may not be super coherent, but I'm having Thoughts on the way Morgan profiles, especially in season one, where he has these moments of "okay, I'm the unsub. Why do I..." while the rest of the team says "okay, why would the unsub..." even when he's not talking about the psychology of the unsub (which he isn't really in this scene: this scene is him realising that the victim didn't hear the unsub break the silverware because he did it after killing her) even the language he uses differs from the rest of the team.

I don't know. I might come back to this more coherently later, but I think Morgan's empathy is one of his strongest traits, and I think the fandom, and sometimes the writers, forgets that in lieu of portraying him as Macho Man #503 (can't imagine why... /s)

I think the rest of the team, as skilled as they are, tends to stand on the outside and guess what being on the inside may have felt like, while Morgan tries (and often succeeds) at getting inside.
