#MarcyWuDeservedBetter. Come on, y'all, we can get it trending. Link to the AUs I mentioned: archiveofourown.org/series/29... #amphibia #videoessay #characteranalysis
I honestly think that Marcy Wu was handled well in Amphibia. She was more prevalent in season 2 than in season 3, but she had her moments in season 3. When she was reintroduced in season 3 after Andrias stabbed her and then saved her, Marcy shows a pretty good dynamic with Olivia and Yunan, while also having to face what she did to Anne and Sasha, which was still fresh in her mind. The reason Marcy didn't really get a chance to deal with it was because she was possessed by the core into becoming Darcy. You could even argue that Marcy solving puzzles and playing games in her mind was part of her escapism mentality. However, when given a chance to go on adventures with versions of Anne and Sasha that would do what she wants, you can tell that what happened during the events of True Colors did have an impact on Marcy. For all Marcy knew, she probably lost Anne and Sasha as friends because of what she did, and she learned from her her mistakes to see through Aldrich's fantasy and accept the reality of what was really happening. I honestly think that Marcy did at least learn to accept change, because we've seen from before Amphibia, Anne and Sasha didn't really care about Marcy's interests. Even Anne and Sasha came to realize that. At the very least, if the series didn't show enough of Marcy's development, Marcy's journal Jo did.
I love The Arcanist AU! I'm in active in the Discord server for it, and I'm grateful that you mentioned it. I actually found this video through somebody else sharing it in the server.
Yes, Marcy was greatly underused in S3 and it would be be good to see at least some flashbacks with her during the season. Also, her plot arc seems incomplete to me because she never got a solid confirmation that she might have any true long-term friends outside of the Trio. Both Anne and Sasha find some great friends in Amphibia while Marcy, who needed it most, got nothing.
I feel like Marcy Wu and Sash Waybright would greatly benefit from Spin Off Midquel Series whether ongoing or mini series. And considering Matt Braly's great relationship with Disney and the Great sales performance of Marcy's Journal, it should at least get brought up in discussion.
Yo a witch in wartwood mention! But seriously I wish s3 just had more episodes cuz I really liked most of 3a’s earth stuff but I wish they did more with Anne trying to repress her trauma, Sasha and Grime getting along with wartwood’s residents, and the Core trying to get Marcy to join them
I'm disappointed with how Marcy was treated in Season 3. While I think Season 3 is without a doubt my least favorite season of the show (I have a Love Hate relationship with that season), the way Marcy was handled in that season was easily the thing that bothered me the most. Which is a shame because Marcy's my favorite character of the show and one of the reasons Season 2 is by far my favorite season of the Amphibia. So, for Season 3 to sideline her for villain that also suffers from being underutilized wasn't a worthy trade off when she potential to be better. Season 3 had a lot of flaws that held Amphibia back from being one of my favorite cartoons of all time, and which is shame since I really like Season 1 and love Season 2.
Yes, Honestly I feel EXACTLY the same way about Sasha and Marcy, Personally Sasha for me Cause i was SO INVESTED in what would happen to her and her character arc in Season 3 (Cause I'm always invested in Mean Girls/Bad girls like Amity, or Pacifica) after True Colors (Don't worry Marcy is my 2nd Favorite :) and personally Season 3 kinda treated both of them dirty, but double for Marcy cause girl really was fridged for almost the whole Season due to becoming Darcy.
Of course you list A witch in wartwood I'm not even surprised lol. In all seriousness if anyone hasn't read it yet, You have too! It's fucking peak bro
I agreed with u and I don't think it's just the writer fault they had to dum things down in se3 because of true colors was so traumatizing and they couldn't be more serious I hope they od more with her outside of marcy journal
Honestly I prefer Season 3A NOT focus on Sasha, Marcy or Amphibia and rather have them focusedd once like Season 3A did. Personally, I'm of the opinion that telling less is more. And when we get back to Amphibia near the end of Season 3A keeps us hype and wonder what happened.
I’ve maintained that the handling of Marcy,

I respect your nonconformist opinion. It makes the show & their fans culturally richer
Thank you for making this

Great video man, i also felt marcy had her own flaws as a character,but shes my faviurite character none the less!
Will you be doing "The Owl House"?

How long have you been on CZcams for ?
In my eyes, Marcy is a Mary Sue and she’s just a plot device
