I Think Your Amphibia Analysis Is Spot On. Marcy Did Get Forgotten By Pretty Much Everyone She Loved,

I think your amphibia analysis is spot on. Marcy did get forgotten by pretty much everyone she loved, proving her fears where right all along(still don’t care for evil Marcy though). I get the impression that the writers just..didn’t feel all that bad about, and that her stabbing and subsequent possession was a punishment for her previous actions.

I mean it is actually BAD for writers to hold back and be too nice to their characters XD. There’s no story without struggle. But unnecessary pain that doesn’t push the story is another thing. I feel like Yunan, Olivia, and (kinda) Anne simply not showing much care towards Marcy in s3 might have been a cop-out for the writers to bring more focus to Anne, the protagonist. I’m of course not sure, but that’s all I can really think of so I’m livid.

What I’m saying is: the stabbing and possession is okay (from a writing perspective), in my opinion, but avoiding Marcy’s arc and not really giving her the time of day in s3 is A WHOLE OTHER THING. I understand that Anne IS the protagonist and Marcy was… incapacitated for a while, but little things like making a few characters Actually Care wouldn’t have taken much extra screen time (if any). The only reason I can think of as far as why the writers didn’t let that happen was that the extra drama around Marcy would’ve taken some focus from Anne. Which is dumb because she gets plenty and the whole story hinges on the trio’s friendship, so ALL of their arcs should be incredibly important…

This show had SUCH cool concepts and set up, but they kinda dropped the ball in s3…. I was theorizing about so many theories for Marcy’s arc, her possession, and how those would get resolved, but then they gave her almost no development/screentime, snipped a cord, had a one minute talk, then moved on :T

I love ALL OF THIS SO MUCH and I also wanna put this out there:

Lobe-finned mermaids

They can have scales, arms, gills, lungs, and even sorta-hair (barbels or cirri)!!!

It makes sense, to me, but they’d probably experience HELLA uncanny vally, since they must have killed off many species that were related to them. That’s what makes them sometimes choose violence against humans. They see arms and forward facing eyes and say “wtf is that. Kill it”.

I have SO many bullet points for this and will infodump if given the chance. Help

It makes more sense for most mermaids to be fat, considering the difference in temperature. Even in tropical waters you'd make the most of the temperature with lots of muscle for speed and movement.

In cooler waters though, keeping warm (see: seals, literally any whale) needs a lot of insulation (fat/blubber). Also when youre larger you have more neutral buoyancy. If you're a deeper water mermaid having a slower metabolism can increase age (see: greenland sharks), and you need fat storage because of sparse food sources.

In this essay I will....

Ok but one thing that bothered me is Marcy’s relationship with the newts

Anne earns the frogs respect and becomes a hero.

Sasha proves her use to the toads, and while most of them leave, grime, Percy, and Braddock stay

Marcy does everything she can for the newts, and they forget about her the moment she gets stabbed.

Like what gives? Why are the newts so uncaring towards their hero? Some fans say that she spent so much time having adventures that she didn’t get to know them, but we know that isn’t true with how much she tries to befriend others(and even if she didn’t, certainly someone would have cared out of gratitude). So instead, it comes off as the newts being self serving jerks, and Marcy shouldn’t have even tried to help them.

Oh no no they didn’t forget about her!! Well they probably did for a bit but, after they decided to turn on the king, they then considered breaking her out JUST so the physically and emotionally scarred 13 year old could help them outsmart him. Not only did the thought of a rescue attempt only cross their minds for selfish reasons, but Yunan immediately tried to shoot the idea down. She wanted to abandon Marcy and leave her terribly injured in the hands of a “mad king” just because she overheard ONE mistake she made when she felt like her whole world was falling apart and wasn’t thinking.

I can see Marcy maybe not having a whole lot of personal conversations with Olivia or Yunan, but she was someone they knew — a CHILD at that — and had good experiences with. Yet they would’ve left her for dead if Olivia didn’t know Marcy once beat Andrias at a board game, meaning there was a chance she could outsmart him for them.

I do like Olivia and Yunan, honestly, and am deciding to think that the neglect was more from the writers rather than them as genuine characters, but it just makes me so sad cuz they could’ve cared a LITTLE BIT without affecting character arcs ;-;

As much as I love angst, Marcy deserves better than this shit that lowkey just makes the two newts just seem like bad people and doesn’t even serve the plot :<

Edit: WHOOPS I got so caught up in my rage that I didn’t even realize you meant the newts in general, not just two of the ones she personally knew XD. BUT UH I can sorta excuse everyone else (except like the Triple B ig) cuz she was up in a flying castle that only a handful of people had access to lol.
