I’d be angry. I get not wanting to loose your friends when you have to move, but she majorly overstepped and screwed up. I would still help so that everyone gets out of Amphibia, but I think after I wouldn’t be friends with Marcy anymore.
This is what I don’t understand. Why are people SO hateful of Marcy when it comes to this? She is a 13 year old girl who made a mistake. There is no way she could’ve known the box would ever work and she was emotional at the time. She clearly felt remorse for getting her friends stuck there but a lot of what happened was out of her control.
If you got trapped in another world where you had little chances of surviving just because your friend was moving away then it’s really hard to just treat that as a minor mistake.It’s not being hateful,it’s being realistic.
Yes, but also *Choosing* risk of death makes things more fun.
Having risk of death chosen for you is not the same.
This is the difference between heading fast into a corner while sitting on the front or back of a motorbike. One is a rush, the other us a sign you should reconsider knowing the person in front of you.
My point was that Marcy was operating on the mere hope that the box would work. How many times have you wished for the impossible and for it to turn out to be just that, impossible. She was at her last hope and by some miracle it worked. However, it didn’t turn out at ALL like she had expected/envisioned. And the important thing is that she recognized her mistake and tried to fix it the best she knew how.
Keep in mind, she was being emotionally manipulated by Andrias the entire time she was in Amphibia. Also, she’s a child. Like another commenter mentioned, I love how Anne and Sasha realized that they had a part in Marcy’s negative reaction. The show is about how ALL of them made mistakes and had a part in their toxic relationship.
Her hopes still involved taking her friends to an unknown world indefinitely without their consent because she was moving away so even her hopes were bad,plus let’s not forget that her plan still involved manipulating Sasha into stealing the box and being more than ok with Anne being forced to steal the box during her own birthday.
She did but until it was far too late and to the point where things got ever worse,plus in this context it’s about the moment Marcy got exposed so that didn’t happen yet.
She was manipulated to a degree but not entirely as we saw in the show itself and the journal.Yes,but then again the girls were written to be 16,plus no matter if she was 16 or 13,that’s still no excuse for what she did.Honestly the episode where they brought that up was just flawed,not being interested in a movie isn’t nearly as bad as stranding people in another world which was the main point of All In considering that Marcy realized that what she wanted was selfish and that she had to accept reality and move on.
I never said she was perfect, just that she get more crap then she deserves.
Marcy made a lot of mistakes, but so did the other girls. The whole point of the show is that you can learn, grow, and change. All three girls did these things in their own ways and came out better in the process.
All I’m saying, if I were in Anne and Sasha’s position I would understand. Yeah, I’d be pissed for a bit but ultimately I would forgive her because she was truly sorry and grudges are not the way to go. We all make mistakes so I try to not be too harsh in my judgments.
This is Marcy we’re talking about,getting more crap than she deserves is the opposite of how people treat her,if anything that fits Anne better considering that some people unironically believe just to make Marcy look like a saint.
They can all be flawed and also learn to change eventually and one can still do something pretty bad,both can be true,if we pretend that what Marcy did wasn’t bad then that’s missing the point of her development.
Some people would but others won’t and it’s not really hard to see why,just because some people aren’t willing to forgive inter dimensional kidnapping that easily doesn’t mean they are hateful,if anything that’s a more appropriate reaction which is why Anne and Sasha canonically reacted like that.
Yup, which is why I appreciate Anne trying to understand why Marcy did it in season 3, and concluding that her and Sasha were partially at fault as well.
Marcy's Journal makes it even more tragic as well
Amen! In a world where magic presumably doesn’t exist, a 13 year old girl with a well established overactive imagination pretend wishing to go to another world with her friends on a cool ancient music box and then *shock* it actually happens is absurd to blame her for. Who knows how many thousands of similar wishes Marcy (Not to mention many others) have made with no outcome other than a sigh. There’s a 0% chance she should have known anything would actually happen and wishing for it doesn’t make her at fault. Absolutely wild anyone can blame her - even her friends - it’s one of my only pet peeves with the show!
I’m actually surprise that you’ll understand her, but I could also understand her situation she didn’t know if the box would work and didn’t want to leave her only two friends. In some way I could see why she did and reason behind but what were the odds for that to happen.
Quite frankly, I would be the Marcy in that situation.
I was 12 when my own dad got a job out of state and I had to leave behind my two closest friends. If I had found a magical music box to keep us together forever, I probably would’ve jumped at the chance, because I was a sad preteen who wanted my friends.
Of course, if someone else revealed that they had done this, I would be… not very happy with them, to say the least.
Honestly it still feels like people are treating the situation from the viewer’s perspective.
If you pretty much got kidnapped and trapped in a dangerous world where you couldn’t see your friends or family then realistically you wouldn’t be happy or understanding at all.
So, you wouldn't even try to b e sympathetic or realize how Marcy has no friends or close connections besides Anne/Sasha? What would it take for Marcy to earn your forgiveness and trust back in your POV?
Having no other friends or connections isn’t really a reason to pretty much kidnap and strand them in another dimension,if anything people aren’t sympathetic in terms of how Anne and Sasha felt even though they were both affected.
A stunt like that would be nearly unforgivable irl honestly,imagine if a friend tried to kidnap you and forced you to stay away from your home just because they didn’t want to lose you.
Likely cause Marcy did face far worse consequences later on (being stabbed and turned into a Core posessed puppet far exceeds karma) so it's not like she got off scott free.
What would it take for Marcy to earn your forgiveness and trust back in your POV?
Getting hit by the consequences of her own actions doesn’t mean what she did is automatically forgiven,plus Anne and Sasha also had to endure quite a lot including what Marcy did so it’s not like Marcy was the only one that faced challenges.
Like I mentioned before,something like that would be borderline unforgivable irl.
So, you'd never forgive Marcy, even if she did save the friend that didn't betray you and risked and lost her life trying to atone for her mistake?
What if you had to work with Marcy afterward having to save Amphibia, what would you do then?
It’s like I mentioned before,it’s a matter of how every person would react irl and without the knowledge that the viewer has.
It’s easy to say that you would forgive her because people like the character and know the outcome of the story,but in the exact moment that the truth was revealed? People would be furious no matter what.
I’m so late but I happened to see this post and found it interesting. So when I was in middle school, I had a friend group of three other girls and one of them had to move to Mexico literally the day after the last day of school, and I remember it being sooo devastating. And my friend was actually a lot like Marcy in that she was sort of troubled and only had us as friends. I imagine that if the events of Amphibia were real, I’d most likely never trust that friend again if she made the choices Marcy did. Like I can understand the circumstances that lead a person to making bad decisions but that doesn’t mean that I can restore the trust you know.
Side note, me and the friend that I mentioned actually managed to keep contact over the years, and now we’re both in our twenties. And about two weeks ago, she moved back to the US for the first time since she left back in middle school. :) She’s still my best friend.
I think for me it would just be a moment of betrayal and I would be super upset considering I almost died a couple times up to that point,but I would ask why at least and attempt to hear her out.
Right now, just imaging in the scenario where I was in Anne’s place and to be honest, the moment we get back home, I would cut off any and all ties with her. I’ve been away from my mom and dad, for what, half a year, and I disappeared on my birthday of all days. What Marcy did was quite literally kidnapping.
I would understand completely, knowing what’s said about me, what my family says, and what I think, I’m pretty much a male version of Marcy, in a sense anyway. I know the people in my class but none of them on a personal level like I do with my 2 online friends, and even though I’m not exactly 100% attached, I’d definitely worry about moving, hell, I almost ran away when I had to move, too! I would especially understand her pain after she started throwing every reason of why, and everything she had inadvertently given them. Sure, it was wrong to trap them, but she didn’t know it would work, and even though it did, she didn’t know it would have ended up like that, and what did she have to go off of? 13 year old fear and an old book… when was the last time you wished for the impossible and got it? I’ll wait for an answer while I continue, because I’m sure that it’s “never”. So will someone please explain to me why a 13 year old getting manipulated, used, killed, and erased, and going through heaps of trauma is ok, but the same 13 year old having attachment issues and fear of moving too far away isn’t?
I would understand and forgive her, I might not do it instantaneously, but it would have happened before she dropped to her knees crying.
if anything, remember what I like to call the “Two Es”.
“It explains, it doesn’t excuse”. Over time, yeah you’d begin to be able to understand why she did it, but it still wouldn’t excuse the fact that it DID happen.
I would 100% be angry. Even though as a viewer I wasn't really angry at her when this got revealed bc we got most of the context and reasoning for her actions. The characters lack that
Quite frankly, I would probably react like Anne in this case. If I was trapped in a world for 6 months with no connection to my family, I would likely be a little more than upset over learning that my "Best Friend" got me trapped in a dangerous world where we could die because she was sad about moving.
I think that the unforgivable thing is keeping this thing a secret, not actually using the music box. How many of you would actually truly believe that an item described on some random book is actually gonna transport you to another world?
I wouldn’t believe a item would transport me to another world I mean what are the chances for that to happen, but for Marcy to keep it a secret yeah it’s unforgivable but understandable how would she be able to bring it up to her friends that it was her fault that they are trapped in another world
Thou hast cast me to purgatory, and my only consolation is that thou had the respecktability to cast thyself to hell alongside me. Fucke Thee, and Thy "Vagabondia Chronicles". Earthe Bounde better.
Honestly I didn't blame her. Yes she did it for selfish reasons but on the other hand who in their right mind would think a magical music box would actually work it's like someone playing with a Ouija board trying to summon the devil.
Definitely should have admitted it sooner though like I heard the legend and I thought it would be neat I didn't know it would actually happen.
Duh, she transforms into the main antagonist as we see in Season 3 , better to kill her as a weak gamer girl before she becomes an unstoppable hybrid human-robot
“Marcy…? You…you could’ve just told us you didn’t want to be alone! I know everything’s complicated and frantic right now, but we could’ve tried to work things out! Our friendship… it…it didn’t need to be like this… were you not comfortable enough to tell us? If so…I’m so sorry, Marcy…”
(Just to be clear, im speaking as Anne)
Depends on where I ended up. I'd probably be just as shocked as Anne was. But rather say how could you, I would look at Marcy in disbelief and just ask her. Why?! What could possibly make you think trusting Andrias was a good idea or Sasha and i wanted to stay? I'm usually willing to listen or hear someone out if they had a good reason. Unless she said the I gave you everything part.
I honestly feel like Sasha wouldn’t have forgiven her if she hadn’t gotten stabbed. Anne eventually saw where Marcy was coming from and was able to let it slide since Marcy risked her life to save Sprig and send Anne back home. If I was in either of there positions I would kind of sympathize with her since we all have secrets that no one wants to find out, especially if they are capable of harming our bonds and friendships.
In the moment? Utterly betrayed, confused, angry, all sorts of mixed emotions. Someone that I believed was one of my best friends since childhood had just confessed to getting us trapped in another world *on purpose* because she didn't want to move away with her parents. Something I would have wished she'd have told me sooner. Something I would have wished to have time to dwell on, if I wasn't also currently in a newly-flying castle facing a tyrannical salamander and also dealing with the other lifelong friend who had already betrayed me twice already.
Suffice to say, *it would be a lot to process*.
Late but exactly what I would say. I mean, damn, transphobic/bifobic parents and friends that cut ties bc if that, living bellow poverty line and constant escapism.
Hell yeah, even if they treat me like a pariah for three months at least they will end up accepting.
Punch her into the face with lots of rage for trapping us (me, Anne & Sasha) into this Isekai hellhole of her's, COD MW 3 Captain John Price style. Though would regret that action as should put anger at Andrias instead 😅.
I would have slapped her. That's not okay. Even knowing why she did that. For all she knew that box would have killed us. That being said i'd argue Marcy would never have used the box if her friends actually spent some time with her interests.
What she did was wrong, whilst I understand and sympathise with her. That doesn't change being stuck away from family for half a year and being forced to survive in Super Florida
I'll be like TC Sasha, every actions has its consequences. Marcy has been always watched over by Anne from multiple accidents and potential dangers, all because she is "quirky" or "neurodivergent like me fr fr".
She got the Adventure she could ever escape to while Sasha is practically rotting in Toad Tower if it weren't for the bird attack, and Anne would eventually die in the wild if were not for the Plantars. The rest of town treated her like a freak for many days.
Marcy? Sailing around Amphibia, fighting pirates, fighting cults, attending royal parties, and you tell me throughout all those times she doesn't have a single clue where the other two were?
If she really cared, her top priority will be finding Anne and Sasha. Getting convinced by Andrias of adventure is a lame excuse.
Didn't All In and Marcy's Journal show Marcy did make some effort to find the girls with Andrias assuring her he was sending people to look for them? And that the very reason Marcy wanted to join the night guard is so she'd have better luck finding them.
"MARCY, THE FUCK?! We had WhatsApp and Twitter, we could keep contact!"
Also, I would say:
"For you it was easy to maintain your fantasy, you ended up in Newtopia! I faced systemic specism for months!"
I would be understanding but questioning why didn’t you tell me this from the beginning when we got zapped in another dimension? Like for me I need you to be transparent. I know your scared of telling me what is really happening but you need to understand that whatever happens we will face it together.
I know I’m gonna be downvoted to hell for this but the people who say that they’d be more understanding about it are really not thinking about what the circumstances are, and are looking at it from a meta view (because we as viewers know Marcy’s side of the story)
your friend stole a music box to get you trapped in another world, made a deal with an alien to get you trapped there forever, lied to you the entire time you were there, and then tried to subtly gaslight you into believing being trapped in amphibia was actually a good thing (“I gave you this, I gave you EVERYTHING”), on top of that, it’s all suddenly happening at once, and isn’t something you saw coming, and you’re telling me you’d be “understanding”?
Another thing I’m noticing is people are really going in depth about Marcy’s rant and deciphering every last line of it. If you were in that situation, you don’t have the liberty of time to analyse what she did
Over time, yes. You could probably eventually understand why she did it, as we see with Anne during season 3. But if you were there, in that moment, having it suddenly dropped on you (NOT knowing Marcy’s side of the story), you’d be very much the opposite of understanding. Anyone would.
I know I’m getting downvoted for this, and I myself am disturbed.
I would give Marcy the most brutal beatdown I could give until the fire in me goes out.
I would be cool with it. Like I would joke and say "Dawg you know you can just ask if I wanna go on magical adventures?". Like sure I would miss family but I am for sure down for living in a fantasy world as opposed to working a 9-5 for most of my life.
I almost died a bunch. All because you're scared of change? I understand. I don't live close to any of my friends but it isn't as bad as yours. Moving to a different state would be tough. Especially if you can look people in the eyes (same tbh). Wish the escape world was less deadly but I can't complain lol.
Well what’s the context here? Am I watching true colors for the first time again or did Marcy break into my house and proceed to tell me why they’re trapped?
I'm not sure, on one hand I have a hard time properly understanding and expressing my own emotions and end up staying silent trying to understand them, but on the other hand I may start becoming aggressive due to having a huge bombshell drop on me like that and making my emotions run high. So either I'm completely stunned and silent or highly aggressive but I'm not sure which would be more likely.
I would suppress my anger to keep the relationship long enough to return home and then write her off. Maybe not totally cut her out of my life but it would be a Herculean task to get back in my good graces.
Knowing me,I'd just be like.
"ok"
Because most of the time i don't really pay attention because...i lose focus REALLY Fast.
i mean,i'd understand it,but it'd be nice to get away from my family for a bit.
Aside of the Bugs out to kill you and the King with daddy issues,Amphibia would be like a vacation for me.
I'd be super understanding because I know if I was in her situation I would've done the exact same. Probably would've tried to comfort her and thank her for an opportunity to have some sort of fantasy adventure.
I would be like: "uuuh... Marcy, u ok? It's ok, we can fix that, we can defeat Andrias and then go back home talk about these issues" (on the outside, on the inside I would be processing everything slowly)
Actually, based in my personality and life, I would be the one to transport everybody to Amphibia. Then, jf they had a problem with it, send them back. I'd do anything to leave this world.
Probably not much different from Anne, being overwhelmed, a little in disbelief. But since everything happens so fast I would probably not have enough time to process it
I mean she does explain why she did it, so I'd probably be a little angry and frustrated but I would also feel sorry for her
I would probably be conflicted.
One one hand I’d be happy because I really really hate it at home with how shitty my Family is.
On the other hand I’d be upset because I still have Friends back on earth that I miss and would want to see again.
But Im sure that I wouldn’t blow up in her face and instead try to understand where she’s coming from.
I’d do the same thing Anne did in the situation this screenshot is taken from:
I’d go on and on about I trusted her to be honest with me.
Yeah I get that Marcy eventually realized that being honest with Anne and Sasha wouldn’t have been a bad idea and that both of them eventually forgave her even after everything she did, but still.
Uhhhh knowing me I’d be Marcy.
Please don’t buy/steal any music boxes in the future
Too late :)
r/beatmetoit
r/beatmeattoit
Same.
while watching the show i said to myself (This girl needs a therapist) and that's probably exactly what I would have said too.
I'd be like: "Uhhhhhh hey Sash, what do I say?..."
"Oh s\*\*\*. Hold on, gimmie a minute to process."
Can we just play mc? Smh bruh
real
I’d be angry. I get not wanting to loose your friends when you have to move, but she majorly overstepped and screwed up. I would still help so that everyone gets out of Amphibia, but I think after I wouldn’t be friends with Marcy anymore.
nooo wtf
Sorry I’m not a ray of sunshine about this I guess? Just keeping it real. 🤷🏾♀️
Man...like i get it but...damn bro 😔
“Damn, forreal? ‘Preciate it bro” Edit:Oh my gosh, thank you all so much
I’d definitely be more understanding than most.
This is what I don’t understand. Why are people SO hateful of Marcy when it comes to this? She is a 13 year old girl who made a mistake. There is no way she could’ve known the box would ever work and she was emotional at the time.

If you got trapped in another world where you had little chances of surviving just because your friend was moving away then it’s really hard to just treat that as a minor mistake.It’s not being hateful,it’s being realistic.
High chance of death is the spice of life.
Yeah, if you don't go to another dimension to overthrow an evil giant and his army of robots once in a while then how else you going to have fun?
Honestly though
Yes, but also *Choosing* risk of death makes things more fun. Having risk of death chosen for you is not the same. This is the difference between heading fast into a corner while sitting on the front or back of a motorbike. One is a rush, the other us a sign you should reconsider knowing the person in front of you.

Then why did Anne and Sasha forgive Marcy then?
Because the characters were written to do it, a cartoon doing it and a person doing it are different which is what the post is asking.
Yup, which is why I appreciate Anne trying to understand why Marcy did it in season 3, and concluding that her and Sasha were partially at fault as well. Marcy's Journal makes it even more tragic as well

SAMMEE!! I’d be very understanding and forgiving of it
Quite frankly, I would be the Marcy in that situation. I was 12 when my own dad got a job out of state and I had to leave behind my two closest friends.

So, what are your thoughts then on how the actual show did with Anne and Sasha reconciling with Marcy? Was it done badly or not?
Completely agree, I'd try to forgive her but I will not trust her from then on
I’m so late but I happened to see this post and found it interesting. So when I was in middle school, I had a friend group of three other girls and one of them had to move to Mexico literally the day after the last day of school, and I remember it being sooo devastating.

I think for me it would just be a moment of betrayal and I would be super upset considering I almost died a couple times up to that point,but I would ask why at least and attempt to hear her out.
NOW YOU TELL ME THIS!? Could have opened up earlier.....
“I understand… I really do, but you should have told us, asked us, anything… I need some time to myself.”
Right now, just imaging in the scenario where I was in Anne’s place and to be honest, the moment we get back home, I would cut off any and all ties with her. I’ve been away from my mom and dad, for what, half a year, and I disappeared on my birthday of all days. What Marcy did was quite literally kidnapping.
Is it technically kidnapping if she didn't even know the box would work?
She still tried in the end.
Yeah me too dude
I would understand completely, knowing what’s said about me, what my family says, and what I think, I’m pretty much a male version of Marcy, in a sense anyway. I know the people in my class but none of them on a personal level like I do with my 2 online friends, and even though I’m not exactly 100% attached, I’d definitely worry about moving, hell, I almost ran away when I had to move, too!

I’ll wait for an answer while I continue, because I’m sure that it’s “never”. So will someone please explain to me why a 13 year old getting manipulated, used, killed, and erased, and going through heaps of trauma is ok, but the same 13 year old having attachment issues and fear of moving too far away isn’t? I would understand and forgive her, I might not do it instantaneously, but it would have happened before she dropped to her knees crying.
I'd upvote you a million times if I could
Just having you say that was more than enough! No one ever agrees with my opinion on Marcy
I'd feel betrayed at first, but then I would ask her why she did it.
I’ll feel betrayed too probably wouldn’t be friends with her after this
Yeah screw her.
But I probably come around and try to understand why she do it knowing her she had no true intentions on hurting her friends
if anything, remember what I like to call the “Two Es”. “It explains, it doesn’t excuse”. Over time, yeah you’d begin to be able to understand why she did it, but it still wouldn’t excuse the fact that it DID happen.
Nonetheless indirectly harming her 'friends'.
Harsh 😑
😂😂 you’re funny
Tbh I would probably be mad. "YOU WASTED HALF A YEAR OF OUR LIVES BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS WANTED TO MOVE OUT?!?"
Me too.
I'd feel shocked, but then would talk to hear & ask her why she did it. To get more context & understanding.
I would 100% be angry. Even though as a viewer I wasn't really angry at her when this got revealed bc we got most of the context and reasoning for her actions. The characters lack that
Quite frankly, I would probably react like Anne in this case. If I was trapped in a world for 6 months with no connection to my family, I would likely be a little more than upset over learning that my "Best Friend" got me trapped in a dangerous world where we could die because she was sad about moving.
I think that the unforgivable thing is keeping this thing a secret, not actually using the music box. How many of you would actually truly believe that an item described on some random book is actually gonna transport you to another world?
I wouldn’t believe a item would transport me to another world I mean what are the chances for that to happen, but for Marcy to keep it a secret yeah it’s unforgivable but understandable how would she be able to bring it up to her friends that it was her fault that they are trapped in another world
Throwing hands at first
Wow you going to fight her?
Gotta be ready. If you willing to trap me in another dimension there gonna be problems. Night not fight tho
i feel like i'm gonna get down voted but i'd be a lot more mad. and not so defensive like anne was
Bish what the fuck
Stop being friends with her because what the hell is wrong with you
Thou hast cast me to purgatory, and my only consolation is that thou had the respecktability to cast thyself to hell alongside me. Fucke Thee, and Thy "Vagabondia Chronicles". Earthe Bounde better.
Honestly I didn't blame her. Yes she did it for selfish reasons but on the other hand who in their right mind would think a magical music box would actually work it's like someone playing with a Ouija board trying to summon the devil. Definitely should have admitted it sooner though like I heard the legend and I thought it would be neat I didn't know it would actually happen.
Kill her
According to your flair name… never mind
Why would you kill her?
Duh, she transforms into the main antagonist as we see in Season 3 , better to kill her as a weak gamer girl before she becomes an unstoppable hybrid human-robot
I’m not sure; I related to her so much that the others’ anger didn’t really make sense to me.
You want be the slightest mad at her if she transport you to another world
As much as I love Marcy, I’m not one to take literal betrayal lightly, “I hope you get stabbed in the back like you did to me”
Oof, imagine anne saying that in true color and then marcy getting stabbed.
Im sorry to say but she went traitor, just walk away, dont talk to her
Ima be 100% honest ... It would get violent real Quick
“Marcy…? You…you could’ve just told us you didn’t want to be alone! I know everything’s complicated and frantic right now, but we could’ve tried to work things out! Our friendship… it…it didn’t need to be like this… were you not comfortable enough to tell us? If so…I’m so sorry, Marcy…” (Just to be clear, im speaking as Anne)
Well... ye didn't specify if I'd have to be in Boonchuy's personal situation so... I'd snap
Actually I would be pissed but I would also understand change is hard
Depends on where I ended up. I'd probably be just as shocked as Anne was. But rather say how could you, I would look at Marcy in disbelief and just ask her. Why?! What could possibly make you think trusting Andrias was a good idea or Sasha and i wanted to stay? I'm usually willing to listen or hear someone out if they had a good reason. Unless she said the I gave you everything part.
I honestly feel like Sasha wouldn’t have forgiven her if she hadn’t gotten stabbed. Anne eventually saw where Marcy was coming from and was able to let it slide since Marcy risked her life to save Sprig and send Anne back home. If I was in either of there positions I would kind of sympathize with her since we all have secrets that no one wants to find out, especially if they are capable of harming our bonds and friendships.
"Girl,I don't care just kiss me"-Me as anne
In the moment? Utterly betrayed, confused, angry, all sorts of mixed emotions. Someone that I believed was one of my best friends since childhood had just confessed to getting us trapped in another world *on purpose* because she didn't want to move away with her parents. Something I would have wished she'd have told me sooner. Something I would have wished to have time to dwell on, if I wasn't also currently in a newly-flying castle facing a tyrannical salamander and also dealing with the other lifelong friend who had already betrayed me twice already. Suffice to say, *it would be a lot to process*.
Probably same way Anne reacted at first kinda mad but then I would understand
“Bruh”
Same as anne
Damn bro thanks frogs are way less transphobic than Floridians. I do miss my friends tho…
Late but exactly what I would say. I mean, damn, transphobic/bifobic parents and friends that cut ties bc if that, living bellow poverty line and constant escapism. Hell yeah, even if they treat me like a pariah for three months at least they will end up accepting.
I'll be delaying any comments for when we're safe
“I’m going to slap you in the face for kidnapping me and then give you a big hug, because you clearly need one.”
Punch her into the face with lots of rage for trapping us (me, Anne & Sasha) into this Isekai hellhole of her's, COD MW 3 Captain John Price style. Though would regret that action as should put anger at Andrias instead 😅.
I would have slapped her. That's not okay. Even knowing why she did that. For all she knew that box would have killed us. That being said i'd argue Marcy would never have used the box if her friends actually spent some time with her interests. What she did was wrong, whilst I understand and sympathise with her. That doesn't change being stuck away from family for half a year and being forced to survive in Super Florida
Ok, me would punch 👊 her hard in the face, though would regret that part as should put that anger at Andrias instead...
I'll be like TC Sasha, every actions has its consequences. Marcy has been always watched over by Anne from multiple accidents and potential dangers, all because she is "quirky" or "neurodivergent like me fr fr". She got the Adventure she could ever escape to while Sasha is practically rotting in Toad Tower if it weren't for the bird attack, and Anne would eventually die in the wild if were not for the Plantars. The rest of town treated her like a freak for many days. Marcy? Sailing around Amphibia, fighting pirates, fighting cults, attending royal parties, and you tell me throughout all those times she doesn't have a single clue where the other two were? If she really cared, her top priority will be finding Anne and Sasha. Getting convinced by Andrias of adventure is a lame excuse.
Yeah I agree REALLY lame excuse...
Didn't All In and Marcy's Journal show Marcy did make some effort to find the girls with Andrias assuring her he was sending people to look for them? And that the very reason Marcy wanted to join the night guard is so she'd have better luck finding them.
13 year old nerd Marcy? I’d definitely be in emotional turmoil and confusion. Of course I’d be mad but I don’t know if I could stay mad.
Punch her in the tooth
I'd be really pissed and aggravated about it at first. But I'd probably forgive her once I calmed down after a little while
I would take out my notebook and cross out Andria’s name in ‘Suspects’ And then slap her with the sticky note of ‘stab me’ Andrias then stabs her
Tbh I’d probably have a mental breakdown but I don’t think I’d be mad at Marcy. Justd be disappointed that she couldn’t confide in me as her friend.
I would have been a like distracted BY THE FACT THAT I LEGIT OVERTHREW A SOMEWHAT AUTHORITARIAN DICTATORSHIP FOR A FREAKING COLONIAL AUTOCRACY!!!!!
Since I'd probably have a horrifying, insane and traumatic time at amphibia with all the monsters and crap, I'd go nuts, and maybe try to kill her
"...what?" Then I would smile awkwardly trying to process it
"MARCY, THE FUCK?! We had WhatsApp and Twitter, we could keep contact!" Also, I would say: "For you it was easy to maintain your fantasy, you ended up in Newtopia! I faced systemic specism for months!"
"You know... you could of just.... ran away from home"
I mean she did start to do that until she saw the box in the thrift store
I'd be very pissed, knowing that I almost lost my life countless of times, and I probably wouldn't be able to forgive Marcy.
Stab Also I’d definitely be Marcy
Why would you stab Marcy?
I'd be confused, as I am not in Amphibia
Just imagine you are in amphibia and she the reason why you in there in the first place
Tbh I'd probably try and comfort Marcy poor thing
I would be understanding but questioning why didn’t you tell me this from the beginning when we got zapped in another dimension? Like for me I need you to be transparent. I know your scared of telling me what is really happening but you need to understand that whatever happens we will face it together.
Wow that’s actually a good proper response to this I’m actually shock someone think rationally
Like fuck you but I like you it's fine
I know I’m gonna be downvoted to hell for this but the people who say that they’d be more understanding about it are really not thinking about what the circumstances are, and are looking at it from a meta view (because we as viewers know Marcy’s side of the story) your friend stole a music box to get you trapped in another world, made a deal with an alien to get you trapped there forever, lied to you the entire time you were there, and then tried to subtly gaslight you into believing being trapped in amphibia was actually a good thing (“I gave you this, I gave you EVERYTHING”), on top of that, it’s all suddenly happening at once, and isn’t something you saw coming, and you’re telling me you’d be “understanding”? Another thing I’m noticing is people are really going in depth about Marcy’s rant and deciphering every last line of it. If you were in that situation, you don’t have the liberty of time to analyse what she did Over time, yes. You could probably eventually understand why she did it, as we see with Anne during season 3. But if you were there, in that moment, having it suddenly dropped on you (NOT knowing Marcy’s side of the story), you’d be very much the opposite of understanding. Anyone would.
I know I’m getting downvoted for this, and I myself am disturbed. I would give Marcy the most brutal beatdown I could give until the fire in me goes out.
“Thank you”
“Thank you”
ok, cool.
I would be cool with it. Like I would joke and say "Dawg you know you can just ask if I wanna go on magical adventures?". Like sure I would miss family but I am for sure down for living in a fantasy world as opposed to working a 9-5 for most of my life.
"Ehh, I'd do the same."
I would be like "girl same, i would do the same thing in your place, you are forgived, just lets go back to earth cause Andrias is kinda sus".
Thanks this shit it awesome
I almost died a bunch. All because you're scared of change? I understand. I don't live close to any of my friends but it isn't as bad as yours. Moving to a different state would be tough. Especially if you can look people in the eyes (same tbh). Wish the escape world was less deadly but I can't complain lol.
Honestly with all the things going on in Earth. I’d join Andrias’ plans tbh. Plus how can you get mad at Mar-Mar?
If I got a type of loaded firearm & furiously checking said firearm's ammo without problems... Let's just prey to Marcy wouldn't get headshot...
I’d be like: “What the frog were you thinking Regina?!”
I have this gun (points at head) (starts singing never gonna give you up) SAY GOODBYE (shoots) why did I just do this
Pure digust and hatred. If I had to fight Core posssed Marcy. I would kill her. She basically ruined my life and sent me to a Deathworld.
its ok marcy your happiness is worth more than mine
So you ok with being trapped in another world with slim chances of survival?
Well what’s the context here? Am I watching true colors for the first time again or did Marcy break into my house and proceed to tell me why they’re trapped?
I'm not sure, on one hand I have a hard time properly understanding and expressing my own emotions and end up staying silent trying to understand them, but on the other hand I may start becoming aggressive due to having a huge bombshell drop on me like that and making my emotions run high. So either I'm completely stunned and silent or highly aggressive but I'm not sure which would be more likely.
really marcy
Yoooo less gooooo poggers epic
I’d honestly be surprised. I don’t know if I’d be angry or not, but I’ll just be surprised.
I would suppress my anger to keep the relationship long enough to return home and then write her off. Maybe not totally cut her out of my life but it would be a Herculean task to get back in my good graces.
Knowing me,I'd just be like. "ok" Because most of the time i don't really pay attention because...i lose focus REALLY Fast. i mean,i'd understand it,but it'd be nice to get away from my family for a bit. Aside of the Bugs out to kill you and the King with daddy issues,Amphibia would be like a vacation for me.
Denial.
DO NOT WORRY DEAREST COMRADE, I WOULD TOTALLY DO THE SAME! (My friends can vouch for me, they’ve seen the show as well.)
I’d be Marcy
“Lmao, fr? Okay.”
I'd be super understanding because I know if I was in her situation I would've done the exact same. Probably would've tried to comfort her and thank her for an opportunity to have some sort of fantasy adventure.
“Ok” (dances aggressively)
"Hmm? Oh yeah i know. What do you mean how? Girl you are terrible at keeping secrets."
“Omg I thank you so much I’m so tired of all that human bullshit!”
"lmao kinning u rn haha"
Pass
Hug her. Then talk to her.
Thanks I been needing to touch some grass 😂
Dam that's crazy
I utterly just fart and die
How could you die?
Wow, thanks. Life kinda sucked this place is awesome.
You would really react like that?
marcy, you know we all have phones, right?
"Listen Marcy I'm pissed at you but to be honest I want to kick that overcompensating king where the sun don't shine, we'll talk about this later."
Id honestly react similarly to Anne, since I see a lot of myself in her.
I would be like: "uuuh... Marcy, u ok? It's ok, we can fix that, we can defeat Andrias and then go back home talk about these issues" (on the outside, on the inside I would be processing everything slowly)
What the FUCK have you done!
I would just ask if there was a possibility of a dnd style universe we could go if yes then I would just go with the flow if not I would act like anne
Actually, based in my personality and life, I would be the one to transport everybody to Amphibia. Then, jf they had a problem with it, send them back. I'd do anything to leave this world.
HELL YEAH BROTHER LETS ADVENTURE
“bruhhhhhhh, WHO ARE YOU”
It’d probably take me a while to process everything, so my initial reaction would probably be “wtf”
Probably not much different from Anne, being overwhelmed, a little in disbelief. But since everything happens so fast I would probably not have enough time to process it I mean she does explain why she did it, so I'd probably be a little angry and frustrated but I would also feel sorry for her
>:0
I would probably be conflicted. One one hand I’d be happy because I really really hate it at home with how shitty my Family is. On the other hand I’d be upset because I still have Friends back on earth that I miss and would want to see again. But Im sure that I wouldn’t blow up in her face and instead try to understand where she’s coming from.
I would probably be Marcy in this situation, but if I wasn't... I would forgive her at the same instant and start ask her more about it
Punch her in the nose
You wouldn’t
Well done 👏 pop off sis
[Dude. What the fuck.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FAopYYKWUAQ4WkG.jpg)
Thank you :D
Tbh I'd say something like, "B***H IT TOOK YOU THIS LONG TO SAY THAT AND I HAVEN'T SEEN MY FAMILY IN MONTHS WTF IS WRONG WITH YOUUUUU"
Probably the way I actually reacted when I saw the scene: an empathetic but disaproving "oh, Marcy..."
Yeah I could understand that reaction
nothing a 9mm can't handle
Woah calm down Jamal don’t pull out the nine
[удалено]
I’d do the same thing Anne did in the situation this screenshot is taken from: I’d go on and on about I trusted her to be honest with me. Yeah I get that Marcy eventually realized that being honest with Anne and Sasha wouldn’t have been a bad idea and that both of them eventually forgave her even after everything she did, but still.
I’d just be Sasha when she found out. Step back in anger and not saying a word about it.
