This scene feels even more sad now...

I can't help but feel very bad for Marcy right now after watching the recent Amphibia episode.

I really like how they dealt with this because I saw how they were treating Marcy, it definitely hurts when you really want to show off to your friends but they literally don't care. Numerous times, Anne and Sasha have openly just said they didn't care about what Marcy was trying to tell them. Even so, it doesn't validate what she did, but I like how Anne is paying attention to the why.

[revanius]

The line 'I gave you everything' hits a little different now, feels more than just a desperate way to explain. It sounds like how she wanted them all to stay friends so much that she never really brought up any problems she had with the friendship. When you look back at the episodes Marcy was always trying to avoid conflict between Anne and Sasha and also seemed to go along with what they wanted if it seemed like it would keep them around. Plus we pretty much see Anne choose the Plantars over her in the aquarium episode and Marcy doesn't protest (which could have also justified in her mind her actions even more seeing how much Anne didn't want to leave the Plantars).

In a way the box as Marcy taking charge for the first time, the first time she got what she wanted, in a way that was bad and unhealthy but it shows more than just Marcy's flaws but the flaws in how the friendship was when it came to how she was treated.

"can we really save this friendship" is an interesting angle. excited to see what comes of it.

Man, the portrayal of this toxic friendship is so well-done! It was very readily apparent how Sasha fed into the toxicity of the relationship, always needing to be in control and pushing her friends into doing things they'd otherwise refuse. However, seeing all this from essentially Anne's perspective, it's been harder to see her and Marcy's shortcomings. In True Colors, Marcy's contribution was finally revealed in that she twisted things from behind the scenes to get her way without telling anyone and without intending to ever come clean. However, she's a product of her environment. Anne's part in the toxicity has become much more readily apparent since the sleepover flashback in The Beginning of the End. She and Sasha both dismissed Marcy's interests and weren't exactly subtle about really not having any interest in the things she was passionate about. We saw this in Marcy at the Gates as well, with Anne having the same reaction to Marcy's ramblings there as in the sleepover flashback here. However, it's not just ignoring Marcy that they've done. Sasha and Anne became so caught up in themselves that they essentially stereotyped Marcy. When they meet Darcy, Anne's first response isn't to ask if Marcy's alright, it's to ask what she's wearing and confirm it really is her. And when Darcy explains that they're no longer Marcy, Anne latches onto that and immediately separates Darcy from Marcy despite the fact that Darcy is very influenced by the knowledge and memories of Marcy. When Anne gives Sasha that talk about how forgiveness is hard and takes time, Sasha agrees at the end and says that they need to go get that lovable nerd. As much as that is technically a kind statement, calling Marcy lovable, it also goes to show how Marcy's been made to fit into a little box in Anne and Sasha's minds. To them, she's a harmless, lovable nerd. So neither of them can wrap their minds around the idea of Darcy and all she stands for. To them, Marcy just isn't capable of becoming a villain unless someone else is literally using her. In the case of Darcy, as much as they are The Core, no one can refute, especially after seeing The Core and The King, that they've been drastically altered by Marcy's body and psyche. This isn't just The Core in her body, this is also Marcy finally without a reason to keep these dark thoughts to herself. And all of this is happening because she felt she couldn't just talk to her friends about what was going on, because she wasn't confident that their friendship would survive her family moving. As much as them being trapped in Amphibia is Marcy's fault, Sasha and Anne pushed her to that point by making her feel as if she had to go to such lengths to finally be listened to and understood.
Also! I love how, in the clip where she sees the music box in the thrift store, the camera angles it to where the only two gems on the box we can see are the blue and pink ones. It perfectly illustrates how the box appeared to be what would ultimately save her friendships with Sasha and Anne, even if it was a conclusion reached without their consent.

I’m sorta like Marcy. I try to talk to people and walk around with them but they’ll act like I’m not even there and even arrange to meet up and stuff and don’t even ask me, and most of the time when I try to say something, I have to say it at least three times before anyone notices me

[adriana_theduck]

When that whole scene of Marcy showing her favorite movie while Anne and Sasha didn’t care. It hit hard for me. I realized how much I relate to Marcy. The disinterest, the one ignored and many more things. I saw the scene and was like Whoa. Props to Matt and the crew for making me relate to a character so much.

[TVHead]

Sasha might have a hard time forgiving Marcy, but she suffered for her mistake more than Sasha could understand. Despite not wanting to be alone, she was alone for months in Newtopia, despite thinking this is what she wanted, she had to bottle up the guilt all that time, and now she’s in physical torment as Darcy. She got stabbed, had her body stolen, and was betrayed by someone she thought understood her. In a way, Andrias might have been her first true friend. He understood and appreciated her in a way that nobody else did.

[Ohsojoyous]

0:20 I’m literally heart broken- she tried her best to not let her emotions out even though I felt the pain. Even if it wasn’t so visible, it just hurts so much knowing that she would care for them. But they won’t stay awake to watch 1 movie with her.

[PurpleHoodie]

When I saw how they acted when Marcy was showing her fav movie to them I was like “No wait, that’s wrong, it hurts how bad they’re acting”, but then they started a pillow fight and I thought “…Ok? We’re just gonna ignore their behaviour and move to the games WHILE MARCY IS SHOWING HER FAVOURITE MOVIE? AND THEY ALSO FELL ASLEEP- Ok, whatever”, and I was curious why the show didn’t say anything somehow about that. But then Anne brought up this situation and I was like “FINALLY”

[sketchyskies]

Their friendship is definitely gonna either be stronger than ever after all this, or shatter like glass.

Sacha: “It’s still super messed up.”
Also Sacha: Was totally on board with the Toads executing Hop Pop back in the season one finale. And tried taking over Amphibia in True colors.
Yes I know Sacha has changed since then but still like Anne says she made mistakes just as if not more messed up than Marcy’s.

I relate to Marcy so much. I feel like no one I know shares the same interests as I and even when me and my friends are together, I always felt so lonely because they would mostly talk to eachother and kinda ignore me.

[casualfanatic]

Anne was a girl who learnt what it was like to have friends that care about you.

Sasha was someone who didn’t know what being a real friend meant.

Marcy was completely dependent on the bonds with her friends that tied her down from being her own person.

[Kuro-krgb]

Everytime I see that scene I think Marcy really had a hard time making friends and wanted Anne and Sasha to be around despite how different they are she out of all of them tried the most and fell hard she only wanted to be understood is the way I see it maybe she was always neglected and was too afraid to lose the only friends she ever had even if they weren’t the best it didn’t matter to her along as there was someone there

[ItsJustLen]

I’m often not taken seriously, and always very clumsy. People often make fun of my clumsiness, ofc not in a mean way but it still hurts.I don’t feel like I have real friends at school so sometimes I can see myself as Marcy as well.

[rainedeer_iscool]

the fact that shes a third wheel to the two but still gave them everything just to spend more time with them

[zaire]

Sasha: "Her betrayal was super messed up!"

Says the girl who betrayed Anne and the Planters *TWICE* and wanted to *STAY* in Amphibia to rule the kingdom! 🙄😂

[JoseRamirez-sqft]

Damn this kicked me hard...
At the beginning of the year I left a group chat where I had some friends and everytime I wanted to share some of my interests like books, movies, series, etc, some people twisted it to transform into Pokémon (something they like A LOT) and ignored what I thought about a book I read, a theory I have for a movie, etc.
Since I left the gc I decided to focus more on my small groups of friends that I have (which are only 3 friends lol) here with me, to make more stronger our friendship and hopefully to last for the long term

[jaydenpanzerotto]

Years ago my best friend left the state, I was devastated, to be honest I understand Marcy to not want to left her friends. She did something wrong but we need to be real, she really didn't know the music box would send them in another world, nothing to proof that, just a old weird book saying weird fantasy things, if the music box was just merchandise? Marcy say it in true colors, she didn't know if that box would work for real or just do nothing because is just a fancy box.
The Adrians thing, he lied to her, manipulate her, saying the right words to be sure she will obey to just stab her in the back.
Marcy made selfish decisions but never to hurt her friends, just to stay and be happy with them, a child with just two friends, accepting the fact they don't care about her interest to just be happy to stay with them. Marcy don't deserve this pain.

[jocax]

Knowing how much I relate to Marcy, this scene still makes me cry.
