@@Comrade.2107 I mean he isn't that much of asshole in the end. He even was ordered to shoot ekko by jayce, but he probably wouldn't have done that. Also if not Silco he would probably been a good guy.
Marcus: There's a crime behind every coin that passes through this place and the coins he got from his deal with Silco literally got soaked in the blood of his dead comrades
Marcus is probably one of the most realistic characters in Arcane. I loved him but I wish they coulda done more with him. He was once the idealist prideful enforcer willing to do anything to bring Justice. Until when he did it showed him what the world really is. Showed him what real conflict could be like. I don’t know what happened between the timeskip between him and Silco but I can’t blame him for the way he ended up.
I know Marcus is pretty unpopular with the Arcane fandom, but I couldn’t help but sympathize with him. Sure, he was angry and extremist in his youth, but it’s clear the death of his mentor and the subsequent dirty dealing he had to do with Silco to protect Piltover humbled him. He wasn’t evil or maniacal. He was just a naive man who thought he was upholding justice but ultimately made things worse and who was burdened with extreme guilt and regret later in his life as he tried make up for his mistake.
When Marcus took Vi to send her to prison, I think he thought what he was doing was actually good. In his head, it must've been like: Ok I'm going to save that pink-haired girl, because I don't want more people to die because of me (Flashback to earlier in the evening), but at the same time, I kinda want don't want any trouble concerning the incident earlier, so I'm just going to send her to prison, so that they can't trace that back to me. Because he could've just let her die there. But he didn't.
I don’t think he had amazing intentions,the way he said “if he hears you he’ll kill you” sounded like protection for vi but also a negative insinuation tone. Idk how to rxplain
exactly my favorite characters too. i'm fine with his ending but man, marcus felt so real as a character and i'm a little upset we didn't get to see marcus become the anti-hero of the show
He’s a character I couldn’t find myself absolutely hating (I mean at first I did) but like the show establishes so well the pressure he’s under and him just thinking in his mind what’s best with the arrogant lifestyle he’s lived up in Piltover. Yeah he overreacted a lot which lead to a lot of bad shit happening of course but he gets very very humanized especially once he gets involved with silco which was done so well.
What he did with vi may have been the only option for her, he couldn't hide her because she is too impulsive and violent so she would seek revenge, and he couldn't run away with her for similar reasons, not to mention him being married, what he did was probably one of the better if not the best option.
@@alphabloodpaw3233 he was clearly extremely conflicted, you even see in the scene with the bomb that he's really close to just snapping, he just needed a good kick in that direction, but he never got the chance to getting one
Marcus was a really great, nuanced character. The way he looked down on Zaunites showed he wasn't a wholly good person, but the way he reacted when Deckard killed the other Enforcers showed he still was more or less a good person. He actively threw away the gold he got given because he felt tainted by what it actually cost. And when we see him years later, he still mourns Grayson and considers her to be a good woman. We see that he loves his daughter and cares for her the best he can. The only reason he works with Silco isn't because he likes it, but because he's too afraid to ever make the tough choice of backing out, or taking them both out. We see him struggle to make a choice when he corners Caitlyn, and when he dies he tries to deliver a message to his daughter. Probably something like 'Daddy's sorry." Even Caitlyn recognizes that Marcus was likely being forced to be Silco's muscle. A more poorly written show would've missed all that. Just written him as a cartoonish corrupt cop.
yes, i totally agree and see it the same way, my favourite part about this character is that looking down on zaun, he just feels so mighty and disrespectful (to certain people) and i love it. Also he is super realistic, him being selfish (like all people are) and caring most about himself and his family for the cost of zaun. I mean imagine an enforcer that is selfless and cares about others more, he would be just exploited the hell out.
1:09 Marcus: Did you just spit on my very well animated shoe?! Also Marcus: *Throws guy through a window and scaring some absolutely very innocent kids* By the way, I don't really like Marcus's current design, but I like his act 1 design a lot, even though I kept thinking he was female for some reason...
Awful by what means? He wasn’t evil. He was just a guy that got abused by Silco. You could see he didn’t want to do bad things and even thought about ending him self for greater end. Also later he done everything for his daughter safety
You honestly feel for the guy a bit and I even was about ready to cheer him on until he shot ekko and episode 7. He has no one to blame but himself and he was passed redemption
One of the best scenes was the conversation with silco Silco is spreaded all over a wide sofa sitting lazily showing his comfort and wide rule over zaun whilst Marcus is stuck on a stool rapidly kicking his legs showing his inferiority over silco and his feeling of desperation Then silco cuts the top of the cigar whilst cutting off Marcus, another example of this which is less obvious is how Marcus when silco speaks is made claustrophobic and small which then in the next scene we see Marcus talk through the armpit of silco again showing the inferiority whilst also showing the smallness and claustrophobia After this he holds the bloodstained coin in the same of how the money he gains is stained with the blood of others, his corruption, Edit: and also the pan of the bomb to the picture his daughter drew really shows how even though Marcus originally put the safety of piltover first when his daughter came in he couldn’t be into sacrifices.
people are finding him sympathetic, but i dont see it. at first he hates the undercity and dooms it by giving silco what he wants and getting his own people killed. when he was handed that money, it kinda reminded me of judas from the bible. marcus is not an idealist, hes just blind to the problems his side are creating and lacks any imagination. later on he completely walks back on what he believed in by making a deal with silco, but keeps his shitty temper and again lacks any imagination. greyson made actual deals with vander, silco just does whatever he wants. marcus is just trying to "keep the peace", while in reality hes just silencing people and trying to sell the illusion of peace to piltover, further screwing them over in the long run
From what i remember, Marcus values Piltover much more than the undercity, so when it comes to making decisions, he always focuses on keeping his family safe and the council happy more than the good of Zaun.
One of the most hateable villains of the show, matched only by Silco. They did such a good job with making this guy so reprehensible you wanna punch him through the screen. Horrible person, great character. Love to see it!
i guess it depends on the person because i love him, remember he made mistakes but he had to do what silco told him because silco threatened his daugther.
@@ChrisNachoss Even before he had a daughter, his motivations were entirely selfish, and he did more harm than good. I think he serves his purpose well, but I struggle to see him as likeable. Hope his kid (dubbed Marcus Junior by some, which I think is hilarious) ends up better than him, or something.
@@imthecoolestguyalive true, but he is probably brought up to have no respect for zaun people just like most piltover citizens, so i guess he just acts like he is so much better than the trenchers and i like that really much. That is what makes people hate him, but it is also what makes me like him. The lack of respect this guy has for the trenchers
He is hot af
yes
He's my type in looks, but he's kinda an asshole sometimes. But I still like his character
@@Comrade.2107 I mean he isn't that much of asshole in the end. He even was ordered to shoot ekko by jayce, but he probably wouldn't have done that. Also if not Silco he would probably been a good guy.

I want to top him.
Marcus: There's a crime behind every coin that passes through this place
and the coins he got from his deal with Silco literally got soaked in the blood of his dead comrades
To be fair he didn't know silco would do that, he just thought he was going to arrest the person responsible for stealing the gemstone.
Damn that's deep

i can. he was a hot headed scum. and died as one.

I wish they dragged him a bit more. Or we saw him in season 2. Kind of wished for redemption arc as well.

yep, i always think i would do the same as marcus, maybe except trusting silco
and i would pull the pin XD
Honestly, I absolutely loved him
I love young marcus lmao, Its just- Young newbie cop trying his hardest to be Tough and intimidating. Its just so cute
I am happy to know that I'm not the only one who thought he was cute, lol.

Because he could've just let her die there. But he didn't.
He just brought more suffering if he knew how terrible the prison was.
I mean, she stole, evaded capture, and _blew up a building._ There's no world in which she wasn't going to prison.
Doesn't matter, the higher ups still needed a scapegoat and she was literal culprit.
I don’t think he had amazing intentions,the way he said “if he hears you he’ll kill you” sounded like protection for vi but also a negative insinuation tone. Idk how to rxplain
Why didn’t Marcus simply report that Silco killed Grayson and his officers to the council?
Loved Marcus. Possibly my 3rd varourite character after Viktor and Caitlyn. So sad he went the way he did.
I thought he will be changing like Jaime Lannister in second season, but yeah he made a boom

I hate him AND I love him.
I relate to Markus the most out of all the characters, oddly. Both pre- and post-time skip.
Guys I actually LOVE Marcus he was js a guy who wanted his daughter to have the best life possible

Didn't like him one bit, but gotta hand it to the writers for making me understand a character I loathe.
Oh Marcus :( He was my favorite character, he deserved a redemption arc...
He was close to having one.
I feel really bad for him
Not every character needs a redemption arc let side characters be side characters let terrible people be terrible people

True..(
Marcus is best boi! IDC what anybody says
one of the characters that will actually make charisma... But he's died...
He tried to do what he believed was good but ended up screwing things up. Just natural human ignorance
There are no good or evil in arcane.
Only old school corruption and that is Marcus
him saying trencher trash tickles my balls (its my new ringtone)
it's a shame he died. now i hate jinx for that
Relatable
This is the only video ive seen where its Marcus "BEST MOMENTS".
The sarcasm here is palpable.
He lived by betrayal, he died by betrayal

He may be cool, but this Enforcers were the coolest thing ever!
My friends always look at me when I say this but he was my favorite (and unbelievably hot lol).
PLEASE make another vid!! i need all of his scenes!
sorry, will not be doing that, i tried to make the video longer, but it got copyright claimed and taken down, so i had to shorten it twice.
One of the best scenes was the conversation with silco
Silco is spreaded all over a wide sofa sitting lazily showing his comfort and wide rule over zaun whilst Marcus is stuck on a stool rapidly kicking his legs showing his inferiority over silco and his feeling of desperation
Then silco cuts the top of the cigar whilst cutting off Marcus, another example of this which is less obvious is how Marcus when silco speaks is made claustrophobic and small which then in the next scene we see Marcus talk through the armpit of silco again showing the inferiority whilst also showing the smallness and claustrophobia
After this he holds the bloodstained coin in the same of how the money he gains is stained with the blood of others, his corruption,
Edit: and also the pan of the bomb to the picture his daughter drew really shows how even though Marcus originally put the safety of piltover first when his daughter came in he couldn’t be into sacrifices.
