Finally someone gets it! Mordecai isn't a Saint or a Devil. He's literally just a dude, and dudes have flaws. I'd be lying if I said I never got frustrated with Mordecai at one point or another, but I could never genuinely loath him like others seem to. I'm glad you made this vid to shine a good light on his character. Great work 👌
Benson dancing has seen my video. I am lost for words ^^ I've gotten somewhat upset with the turn out of people who constantly hate on Mordecai, as I say in the video he's my favorite character and this huge hate boner people have for him eventually spawned enough passion in me to make this video. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Thank you for watching!
Finally, someone who doesn't just beat up Mordecai over out if context moments in some episode. I know episodes after season 4 got boring with the whole Mordecai love arc, but Mordecai is a relatable person to me, same with Rigby. To me, the whole Mordecai hate boner is just ridiculous to me coming from someone who's watched the show since it came out.
Look, i know mordecai isn't a perfect person, and it's the cool thing to just call him a simp and shit on him nowadays, but i still like him, and i'm still happy he got a happy ending and got married with a nice bat girl at the end I'm glad someone finally did a video on the matter, i just feel like he gets waaay more hate nowadays than like, 5 years ago, and rigby def gets waay too much credit when he has his moments where he's a shitty friend too But at the end of the day, no one's perfect, exept for pops
Finally someone gets it! Mordecai fucks up with love. But it’s because he is very young and immature. People also underestimate how reliable of a friend he is.
I absolutely hate how the internet wrote his character as the world's most simpest cartoon character! Yes I will agree that when he drove miles and miles to Margaret's college just to bring her sweater to her. And then pushed Rigby out of the car. That was a little simpy but other than he ain't that much of a simp. I mean the definition of a simp is someone treating someone like a queen/king and that person not caring for them back, that's a simp. I mean all of his love interests actually did actually care for him in some ways.
I never hated Mordecai as a character ; he Carrie’s this staple. He and Rigby make the show’s money. I didn’t realize the hate Mordecai gets until 3 years ago
If I was animating a show, something I have been doing in my writing of novels, I would write this whole thing of having a crush on a girl very differently. At the start of the series, I would have a character like this other girl and in many episodes is awkward around her and wants her to be his girlfriend. Upon doing this, the audience wants him to get this girl. I have the audience right where I want them but in later episodes he gets over this girl and no longer tries to pursue her. The audience would be surprised and would wonder how the story would go. Why? Because something like this has hardly ever happened in a show, a character who just moves on from the crush. I’m tired of going through 5 seasons developing a crush to get the girl at the end when we already know from day 1 that they will get that girl in the end. It’s like Erwin Sikowitz said “When people do the unexpected… audiences always pay attention.”
To be honest, the Mordecai hate made no sense to me. Like Rigby esp in the first 5 seasons was damn near the catalyst to every issue bc he was selfish or egotistical or lazy, and even though Mordecai could be that way too, Rigby was almost always the reason they almost got fired or killed every episode for the first half of the show. People defend Rigby bc he had a more drastic growth, which is fair and why I also believe he was redeemable, but Mordecai evolved and he even ended up with a Girl that wasn’t some endless pursuit like Margaret. Like I understand if someone takes issues with both their flaws or tries understanding them both better, but the internet thinks simping is the unforgivable crime, worse than Rigby lying, stealing, being incredibly petty, lazy, selfish, and literally just not caring about the fact that his antics risk his best friend’s employment too. Like yeah Mordecai killed Rigby over Margaret on accident but Skips did too and they both felt remorse and did whatever they had to do to bring him back even though none of it would’ve happened if Rigby wasn’t purposefully fucking with them. Mordecai did a hell of a lot to help Rigby and the rest of the Park workers, but apparently one “it’s Time” a season negates all the “I’m Eggsellent”s he’s had for terminally online people who don’t know any vocabulary outside the word simp
Regular Show came out when I was 7 or 8, and yeah, I did damn near grew up with it. I stopped watching it when the network just kept airing nothing but Teen Titans Go all the time in 2015 or someshit. I rewatched quite a few episodes the past year. They hold up for the most part. My childhood ended almost 2 years ago. God rest it's soul...
I'd like to just add my own points and clarify a few things. Also: Margaret is a Red Robin, not a Cardinal. [Mordecai - bad friend] Mordecai wouldn't have known that pushing Rigby off the oven would kill the racoon. Also in that episode, Rigby was being possessive of Mordecai - because at that point in the series, Mordecai was the only person who's closest to him (he was his only (best) friend for almost his whole life); that changed when Eileen came to his life. But Rigby just wanted someone to accompany him to the movie. So if not Mordecai, why not Margaret! And that was good enough for him, but he just had to rub salt into the wound of course. My argument here is that I don't think there's a gay subtext there, and/or he was like that *not really* because of his platonic love for Mordecai - 'cause like I said, that changed later on in the series (especially because of Eileen). Remember: he wasn't like this when it was with CJ. [Mordecai - bad male] I'm just assuming that the majority of the irrational hatred for Mordecai is because he hasn't/hadn't met their expectations of him. Isn't the "simp" meme some toxic masculinity stuff? But here's some other stuff: I never got the impression that Margaret actually loved him, not even a bit. She probably just gets off to him liking her. You see, about the breakup thing because of college: couldn't they just... try a long distance relationship? The fact that she didn't even suggest such a thing and was quick to leave him may suggest (IMO) that she just wanted an excuse to ditch him. Let's just say that _she_ was the one that led him on. I'm making a wild guess and say that this is really why they call him a "simp": because he failed to have a tight grip on his love life, not really because... whatever they meant when they brand him as "simp". (Seriously, there's a lot of different definitions for the word "simp") I gotta say: Mordecai gets too much unnecessary malignment. It's a mystery to me how it got to that point.
I think a lot of it comes from insecure toxic dudes on the internet who see themselves in him and teenagers who hadn’t seen much of Regular Show who’ve only seen ooc clips on Twitter.
I never had a problem with Mordi as a character, he just does stupid shit. But not one character on that show hasn't done stupid shit. Does that mean I hate them? No, but I wish I could smack them everytime they did something stupid.
funny how people use "it's time" as an example of why Mordecai is *the worst* , when for me, that was an example of why I despise *Rigby* , and why I haven't watched the show since that episode.
Using the Arkham Asylum theme was enough to earn my subscription, the amazingly well thought out and well produced video was just the cherry on top, keep it up!
10:33 Rigby isn't a chad. He simply had no feelings for Margaret, and he knew Margaret had no feelings for him, which completely takes the pressure off, so he can act natural and easy going. However, he knows how emotionally invested Mordecai is, which makes him irrational, so Rigby can mess with him and push his buttons easily. Ultimately, Rigby just wanted Mordecai to rip the band-aid off already and ACTUALLY ask Margaret out.
I don't think that's what he wanted at all, considering he started all of this because he wanted to go to the movies with Mordecai, and got pissed off when he realized he was going with Margaret instead.
@@voiceunderthecoversTwo things were happening in this episode. Imagine having a friend that’s been into a girl for YEARS, and he never says or does anything. He brings her up constantly, he fantasizes about her, but when she’s around, he never acts on ANY of his emotions EVER. Yes, Rigby originally just wanted to see Zombie Dinner Party with his bro and was mad that his best friend flaked out on him. Then Rigby was frustrated with Mordecai's chronic hesitation getting in the way of their friendship. He wanted to knock some sense into Mordecai-stop being so timid with Margaret, have some guts, and ask her out, so we can get on with our friendship. When Rigby asked Margaret out, he wasn’t interested in her, and she wasn't interested in him. Yes, he did it out of spite since Mordecai wouldn’t come to Zombie Dinner Party, but he was also showing Mordecai how easy it is to ask a female you like out on a date. Mordecai believes that bottling up his emotions is a viable path forward, but Rigby proves that being direct works, and Mordecai can't swallow that pill. Even though Rigby's intentions weren't pure, what he did was to prove a point and help Mordecai. He was still obviously wrong to taunt Mordecai and rub it in his face for so long.
@@mobus1603pretty shitty way to prove a point considering he was actually gonna go out with Margaret and even joked about tonguing her. Perhaps what you're saying is what the episode was intending but it was not executed very well. Instead it just made Rigby straight up unlikable. Don't dig for stuff that isn't there man, we all know Rigby purely did it out of spite, not to help Mordecai. This is Rigby we're talking about. Sure it doesn't warrant Mordecai killing him(even though it was an accident, he didn't really intend to kill him)but damm it's some form of karma. If he actually was trying to help him the episode would've made that way more clear, I'm watching that episode and in no way does it feel like he's trying to help him. Is that really how friends help each other with stuff nowadays? That's not cool at all.
While some claim Mordecai ending up with some random woman years later was a bad ending, I think it's perfect. Mordecai wasn't ready for a serious relationship, he needed to stop desperately looking for love and work on himself first. And that's what he did, Mordecai stopped obsessing over romance and pursued his dreams. The moment he stopped trying to force a relationship, it came to him naturally and by complete accident.
I never saw Mordecai as a simp...I saw him as an idiot, an overthinker. It's the main reason why his relationships sucked while Rigbys succeeded...that and most of Rigbys relationship developed off screen.
The last half of the whole "love triangle" arc was never Mordecai's fault, it was Margaret's fault but people would overlook that and still blame Mordecai. Whenever there was a Mordecai and CJ episode in that last half Margaret would just "exist" in the plot of it because she never moved on and still had feelings for him. CJ would then take it the wrong way and it would cause alot of easy misunderstandings throughout each episode.
@@denysvision there was a moment where CJ points out what I said about Margaret just existing for the plot and her still having feelings and not moving on
Rigby going out with Margaret also feels so mean from her perspective. It's clear Rigby has no romantic interest in Margaret, they're just hanging out as friends. Except it's not even that, Rigby doesn't care about spending time with Margaret, he's essentially just using her to get under Mordecai's skin.
Honestly, I just can't wrap my head around why people all love Rigby. He's funny, but through most of the first half of the show he was the main reason of conflict, and on the later half of the series, he was just not as interesting anymore to me. Mordecai was always the relateable one
as someone who hasn't watched the show for multiple years this is needed. I already liked mordecai and hated ridby. this video helped with that rigby hate i now like both the same
18:55 He wasn’t trying to peak inside the diary though.. it literally broke because of rigby and he noticed it was her diary afterwards and tried to fix it.
@@voiceunderthecovers Muscle man made the bet in the first place. Bigby participated in its degree but he didn’t make the bet in the first place, now did he?
@@voiceunderthecovers YES!!! HE PARTICIPATED. He didn’t make the bet. There’s a difference. I am pointing all this out be in the video you were saying that Bigby made the bet when he didn’t. I was only concerned with how you worded your argument the vid. Muscle man made the bet and Bigby participated in it; Bigby didn’t make the bet. Geez.
While I dislike Mordecai, I think it stems more from disappointment that they didn't handle his character very well. I can't stand the manufactured drama that the love triangle brought to the show, and I think they really did his character a disservice, especially in season 6. Like, you guys were cooking with Rigby's character by the end, why couldn't you have channeled a little bit of that into Mordecai's?
Also mordicai was right to kill Rigby over his crush☠️ wtf typa shit is that for Rigby to j try to take his chick knowin he likes her that’s really fucked of him
@@voiceunderthecovers The moral of the show is to not jus react when things happen but think about your actions and how they effect others or ur future.
Sorry, as much human as mordecay was i cannot ignore he's flaws, sure he eventually grew out of them but he is still a jerk most of the time, evenw with Righby, so yes even if i love mordecai as a character as much as Rigby i still cannot ignore he's flaws
Most of the time he’s a jerk? How? Usually he backs up Rigby, supports him and tries to guide him to the right paths. Rigby is more of a jerk than Mordecai than anything, and even then they both grow out of it.
@@voiceunderthecovers how about the time where Rigby does the things for him, whille mordecai dindn't back him up when he backed him up and rigby had to liffing tons of boxes just to prove he is more than just an helper, mordecai din't even back him up at all when Rigby says he can do things, sure ribgy can be imature but at least he learn form them, oh and about mordecai been mad because he thinks Rigby's gratuasion is an nothing burger, i don't say rigby din't messed up as well such as where he writte a fake letter of rejection just because he was scared of loosing mordecai witch it was the messed up thing rigby do, i do agree in fact taht these two do have flaws and taht's why i love this show about, i do not hate mordei or rigby in any of these aspects
@@voiceunderthecovers and about "it's time" is not that i agree with that part, i disagree with "why din't just come in another time to the movie" the issue is that there was no time, because even rigby said "you know how is hard for me to find these tickes?", and the tickets of a movie becames worthles since you buy them only at that certain time, and rigby buy them because he wants to spend time with he's friend and you kind of see that flaw as well, and you even said "friends tease each other most of the time" witch what rigby did when he flex on how he can talk with chicks, it was just giving mordecai a favour, and yes is pretty annoying but i find it pretty funny, and the point of the episode was just explore mordecai's flaw because if mordecai admited he was jealouse he would not be in the mess, even rigby said that he will give him a change, at the end of the day these two where at it's worst on that part
@@voiceunderthecovers and also about "do me a solid" mordecai shoul've not accepted the 10 solids in the first place, and why should rigby be obligated to be with sommeon that he did not like (at that time, later he started to fell in love with Eilin) you can't just say rigby's solid are bad alone if you forgot that Mordecai was the one who accepted that in the first place, because he expected for him to have time with Margarete, but turn out Margarete ask Eilin a solid to come on the date because she had a bad date, so again both rigby and mordecay are in the worst at this one as well
@@voiceunderthecovers “oh whoops I just tripped on my shoelaces and fumbled right on your mouth” cheating on your gf shouldn’t be relatable or accidental
@@elanacarlson1743 You have seen the scene, right? It was a complete accident and Mordecai was completely apologetic to CJ. He hadn’t gotten over Margaret and in a daze, kissed her. I personally have never cheated on anyone, but I can relate to his apologetic state and lack of closure from previous flings.
@@voiceunderthecovers you shouldn’t be dating if you haven’t gotten over another relationship that’s literally obvious. I understand that he was apologetic, but doesn’t change the fact he willingly did it, and blamed it on the fact that “it was new years”. He is a dick for that and CJ deserved so much better than him
@@elanacarlson1743 No human is perfect. Humans make mistakes. You shouldn’t be dating someone if you haven’t gotten over another relationship, but some of us still do it. I never said CJ didn’t deserve better. I’m just saying that people should go a little easier on Mordecai considering what all three members of the love triangle had been through, as well as thinking about how young he is and how confused he was.
I’m sorry but I hardly give any care in the world to Mordecai about his crush on Margaret. I relate to what Mordecai goes through about liking a girl but what Mordecai is going through is done in everything I see: spider-man, lyoko, avatar, legend of Korra. Blah blah blah. I just don’t care because it the same formula. I had one experience where I wish it was done in animation to just get people off guard because it would be something that no one would expect. I had a HHHUUUUGGGEEEEE crush on this girl back in school; biggest crush I’ve ever had for someone but as much as I like I would never in a million yrs ask her out or attempt for her to be my girlfriend. Why? Because we are way too different; drastically different. I wasn’t going to have her change anything about her to be with me and I would in no way change myself to be with her. If she was with me, she’d be bored and I don’t want that for her. I wasn’t her to be with someone else because as long as she’s happy, I’m happy. Why can’t there be an animated show where a character just like someone but gives up because they just know that it would definitely not work out? Be this thing with Mordecai? I have seen it too many times; it’s older than the artifacts in my college’s museum. 🙄. Can’t we just make something new, please.
This show came out years ago when this trend was at its peak. Since then, this type of plot has been either subverted in shows like Clarence, Owl House and Steven Universe, or completely absent. Not really an issue.
@@voiceunderthecovers but this kind of thing is still going in even now. There was no peak of it in its debut; this type of formula is still happening now.
@@voiceunderthecovers I made that comment about the trope because when I see Mordecai, his participation in the trope through the show is what bores me. I tend to get off topic when talking about another subject about Mordecai because whenever I hear the word Mordecai, I just think of him being a picture in the dictionary for the word simp. Sorry for getting off the topic of this video.
"Why can't there be an animated show where a character just [likes] someone but gives up because they just know that it would definitely not work out?" Didn't Mordecai actually just went through that - with Margaret, in the episode "Just Friends"?
Finally someone gets it! Mordecai isn't a Saint or a Devil. He's literally just a dude, and dudes have flaws. I'd be lying if I said I never got frustrated with Mordecai at one point or another, but I could never genuinely loath him like others seem to. I'm glad you made this vid to shine a good light on his character. Great work 👌

Whenever there was a Mordecai and CJ episode in that last half Margaret would just "exist" in the plot of it because she never moved on and still had feelings for him. CJ would then take it the wrong way and it would cause alot of easy misunderstandings throughout each episode.
Absolutely, though everyone was at fault in some way.
Il say everyone was a t falt, especially CJ, it was mostly an chain teaction fol all 3 of them
@@denysvision there was a moment where CJ points out what I said about Margaret just existing for the plot and her still having feelings and not moving on
The "but you have to butt in and ruin everything" quote would fittingly apply really well for Margaret.
@cartoonistlouis773 nobody here argued that love triangles weren't bad
Did mordecai really lay an egg at the end of the "do me a solid" episode? I always thought he just took a shit XD
It's up in the air!
18:57 he did not try to peak, Rigby tried to look
Fair point
I only mention it because I think it’s a great change of pace from a horrible trope and I don’t want to see it ignored is all
Plz keep making content like this atleast until 2042 plz bro 😭
Rigby going out with Margaret also feels so mean from her perspective. It's clear Rigby has no romantic interest in Margaret, they're just hanging out as friends.
Except it's not even that, Rigby doesn't care about spending time with Margaret, he's essentially just using her to get under Mordecai's skin.
Honestly, I just can't wrap my head around why people all love Rigby. He's funny, but through most of the first half of the show he was the main reason of conflict, and on the later half of the series, he was just not as interesting anymore to me. Mordecai was always the relateable one
as someone who hasn't watched the show for multiple years this is needed. I already liked mordecai and hated ridby. this video helped with that rigby hate i now like both the same
18:55 He wasn’t trying to peak inside the diary though.. it literally broke because of rigby and he noticed it was her diary afterwards and tried to fix it.
Yes, that was a mistake.
3:08 Nagito jumpscare
I can get behind the message but I feel the video needed more time in the oven
I was working on this for four months. That’s the last thing it needed.
00:22 better coleslaw
Thanks for making the video
if anything I'd say Rigby's the worst friend. At least in the first 5 seasons
11:03 are you lost? Have you forgotten that it was Muscle Man who made that bet? It wasn’t Rigby.
He was definitely in on it, he’s literally there when the bet is made and put a stake in it. He is just as bad.
@@voiceunderthecovers Muscle man made the bet in the first place. Bigby participated in its degree but he didn’t make the bet in the first place, now did he?
@@francostevo9939 and? He still participated. That was my point.
@@voiceunderthecovers YES!!! HE PARTICIPATED. He didn’t make the bet. There’s a difference. I am pointing all this out be in the video you were saying that Bigby made the bet when he didn’t. I was only concerned with how you worded your argument the vid. Muscle man made the bet and Bigby participated in it; Bigby didn’t make the bet. Geez.
Bruh, I’m older than you, this feels awkward…I expect youtubers to be older than me…lol…
We all gotta start somewhere, bromigo.
While I dislike Mordecai, I think it stems more from disappointment that they didn't handle his character very well. I can't stand the manufactured drama that the love triangle brought to the show, and I think they really did his character a disservice, especially in season 6. Like, you guys were cooking with Rigby's character by the end, why couldn't you have channeled a little bit of that into Mordecai's?
Rigby faked up everything for the first like 4 seasons
in my opinion mordy is a good character but HE IS A SIMP or at least one point
Also mordicai was right to kill Rigby over his crush☠️ wtf typa shit is that for Rigby to j try to take his chick knowin he likes her that’s really fucked of him
Like can we talk ab how much of a dick Rigby was in this episode. Even if he was tryna make mordo ask her out but he was talking so much shit ☠️💯
Not right for it, but I totally understand why he did.
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react. Don’t simp
What does this have to do with my argument, if I may ask?
@@voiceunderthecovers The moral of the show is to not jus react when things happen but think about your actions and how they effect others or ur future.
Sorry, as much human as mordecay was i cannot ignore he's flaws, sure he eventually grew out of them but he is still a jerk most of the time, evenw with Righby, so yes even if i love mordecai as a character as much as Rigby i still cannot ignore he's flaws
Most of the time he’s a jerk? How? Usually he backs up Rigby, supports him and tries to guide him to the right paths. Rigby is more of a jerk than Mordecai than anything, and even then they both grow out of it.
@@voiceunderthecovers how about the time where Rigby does the things for him, whille mordecai dindn't back him up when he backed him up and rigby had to liffing tons of boxes just to prove he is more than just an helper, mordecai din't even back him up at all when Rigby says he can do things, sure ribgy can be imature but at least he learn form them, oh and about mordecai been mad because he thinks Rigby's gratuasion is an nothing burger, i don't say rigby din't messed up as well such as where he writte a fake letter of rejection just because he was scared of loosing mordecai witch it was the messed up thing rigby do, i do agree in fact taht these two do have flaws and taht's why i love this show about, i do not hate mordei or rigby in any of these aspects
@@voiceunderthecovers and about "it's time" is not that i agree with that part, i disagree with "why din't just come in another time to the movie" the issue is that there was no time, because even rigby said "you know how is hard for me to find these tickes?", and the tickets of a movie becames worthles since you buy them only at that certain time, and rigby buy them because he wants to spend time with he's friend and you kind of see that flaw as well, and you even said "friends tease each other most of the time" witch what rigby did when he flex on how he can talk with chicks, it was just giving mordecai a favour, and yes is pretty annoying but i find it pretty funny, and the point of the episode was just explore mordecai's flaw because if mordecai admited he was jealouse he would not be in the mess, even rigby said that he will give him a change, at the end of the day these two where at it's worst on that part
@@voiceunderthecovers and also about "do me a solid" mordecai shoul've not accepted the 10 solids in the first place, and why should rigby be obligated to be with sommeon that he did not like (at that time, later he started to fell in love with Eilin) you can't just say rigby's solid are bad alone if you forgot that Mordecai was the one who accepted that in the first place, because he expected for him to have time with Margarete, but turn out Margarete ask Eilin a solid to come on the date because she had a bad date, so again both rigby and mordecay are in the worst at this one as well
@@denysvision these are all terrible reasons, but sure.
No way ur only 17. Wtf??
Lol yeah, why?
Bro mordecai did not cheat on her accidentally fym
He definitely did. He didn’t do it on purpose.
@@voiceunderthecovers “oh whoops I just tripped on my shoelaces and fumbled right on your mouth” cheating on your gf shouldn’t be relatable or accidental
@@elanacarlson1743 You have seen the scene, right? It was a complete accident and Mordecai was completely apologetic to CJ. He hadn’t gotten over Margaret and in a daze, kissed her. I personally have never cheated on anyone, but I can relate to his apologetic state and lack of closure from previous flings.
@@voiceunderthecovers you shouldn’t be dating if you haven’t gotten over another relationship that’s literally obvious. I understand that he was apologetic, but doesn’t change the fact he willingly did it, and blamed it on the fact that “it was new years”. He is a dick for that and CJ deserved so much better than him
@@elanacarlson1743 No human is perfect. Humans make mistakes. You shouldn’t be dating someone if you haven’t gotten over another relationship, but some of us still do it. I never said CJ didn’t deserve better. I’m just saying that people should go a little easier on Mordecai considering what all three members of the love triangle had been through, as well as thinking about how young he is and how confused he was.
I’m sorry but I hardly give any care in the world to Mordecai about his crush on Margaret. I relate to what Mordecai goes through about liking a girl but what Mordecai is going through is done in everything I see: spider-man, lyoko, avatar, legend of Korra. Blah blah blah. I just don’t care because it the same formula.
I had one experience where I wish it was done in animation to just get people off guard because it would be something that no one would expect. I had a HHHUUUUGGGEEEEE crush on this girl back in school; biggest crush I’ve ever had for someone but as much as I like I would never in a million yrs ask her out or attempt for her to be my girlfriend. Why? Because we are way too different; drastically different. I wasn’t going to have her change anything about her to be with me and I would in no way change myself to be with her. If she was with me, she’d be bored and I don’t want that for her. I wasn’t her to be with someone else because as long as she’s happy, I’m happy. Why can’t there be an animated show where a character just like someone but gives up because they just know that it would definitely not work out? Be this thing with Mordecai? I have seen it too many times; it’s older than the artifacts in my college’s museum. 🙄. Can’t we just make something new, please.
This show came out years ago when this trend was at its peak. Since then, this type of plot has been either subverted in shows like Clarence, Owl House and Steven Universe, or completely absent. Not really an issue.
@@voiceunderthecovers but this kind of thing is still going in even now. There was no peak of it in its debut; this type of formula is still happening now.
@@francostevo9939 Well, this video is addressing the hatred he gets as a character, not necessarily the trope.
@@voiceunderthecovers I made that comment about the trope because when I see Mordecai, his participation in the trope through the show is what bores me. I tend to get off topic when talking about another subject about Mordecai because whenever I hear the word Mordecai, I just think of him being a picture in the dictionary for the word simp. Sorry for getting off the topic of this video.
"Why can't there be an animated show where a character just [likes] someone but gives up because they just know that it would definitely not work out?"
Didn't Mordecai actually just went through that - with Margaret, in the episode "Just Friends"?
I'd rather you defend finn than mordocai
Finn already gets defended a lot. Besides, he doesn't get nearly the same amount of hate as Mordecai.
Good points but have you considered being wrong? :/
I have considered being right! Thank you for asking :)
