家主とのくらしも　10ねんめにはいるです

はやいものなのです

Oh dear Marcus, hated by some and loved by others.

My case? I love him. From the moment Marcus came out in the original movie I already had an aura that he would be someone interesting, it's just that no one wakes up out of nowhere and says "I feel like killing God.

"When we learned his reasons for why he had planned all that, I simply said "they should have given this guy more time instead of wasting animation on Team Rocket or Kevin,both of them did practically nothing.

Concept

So ever since I did the written version, I wanted to give this villain the attention he deserved.But he couldn't be the typical soap opera villain, at least not for this soap opera.I took the original Marcus who was already perfect and just gave a little more background to his motivations,I took as a basis the videos of the youtuber Zowl (who at that time was a big fan of him, now not so much because of the controversies he has gotten into) and let's say that I created Marcus with the idea that he would be "a villain that Zowl could analyze like the rest of the villains in his series and, incidentally, a villain that he liked.

"Zowl seems to like these "ends justify the means" type villains, especially if he's a ruler. So with that in mind, I tried to give him a good past and justification for Marcus from the beginning, something that has not changed from the comic to the present day of the story.

Concept extra:

Queen Ingrid and Gorr are two sides of the same coin for Marcus.Queen Ingrid wants to eliminate Maleficent and the rest of the magical creatures because they were responsible for her losing her family and Gorr hates the gods because because of them his only daughter died in his arms and they did nothing to help them even though they were faithful believers in these gods.

While I was writing the comic, I decided to watch Maleficent 2 on Disney plus again and this time, I paid more attention to the villain. Eureka! I took a little of the impressions that this queen gave me so Machiavellian and cunning to carry out her plans for genocide without anyone noticing and I put it in Marcus's blender.Also think about it, the queen created an entire system under the shadows to implement fear in her population and create weapons intended for her special use to kill hasas Nobody noticed until Aurora saw it... Does that sound familiar to you?

Later in my time when I still had hope in Marvel, I saw Thor love and thunder, A movie with great potential that was wasted on cheap jokes and poor CGI Among that wasted potential was Gorr. His first on-screen scene of watching him lose his daughter in his arms and then his god mocking him and saying he's disposable... God, that was horrible and beautiful.

When I release the complete original comic you will understand what I mean when I say why Marcus hates the gods, but that will be further explored in this version.

Since when I saw the movie I had already left that part in the comic, but Gorr just gave me the example of how to do it more strongly.So yes, Marcus is technically the same, but those concepts gave x100 power to what already works.

Personality

His personality in the film, while leaving a good sense of intrigue and menace, needed to be given something more to give him that spicy edge that all memorable villains have.

When I was making the original comic book version during the pandemic, the novel "Yo soy Betty, la fea" became popular. I took a little bit of inspiration from chat soap opera for the drama, you know, the under-the-rug shenanigans and Crickery, among those things is Mario Calderon, love him or hate him.

His intelligence, Machiavellianism, sarcasm, charisma, his ability to manipulate and his brazenness in what he thinks are something very remarkable about chis antagonist, which is why I didn't hesitate to place him in Marcus, with che mentality of making him similar to a Disney villain and as a figure that ooks over the central drama as an entertainment; just like Mario when he was getting up to speed on everything that was going on with Armando and Betty.

For a long time my phrase has been "Marcus is too much of a story", with che context of the comic book version and the first written version before che remakes, The good thing is that now at this stage, I feel that the story is already becoming worthy of a villain of his stature.

also have for reference his respective MBTI and Hogwarts house, in his case me is an ENTP and a Slytherin.

Already specified that he is a Slytherin and I think it fits him like a glove, so I will only talk about his MBTI.

The ENTP's are characterized by:

*They are charismatic

*They are born leaders

*They have great ingenuity

*They are not conformists with standards

*They tend to question beliefs and generate their own criteria.

*They constantly seek innovation

*They think long term

*They think in groups with whom they can share their ideas for innovation.

*They tend to struggle to focus on routine activities.

*They express themselves very easily

*Great sense of humor, usually sarcastic

*They are very self-confident

*Always looking to create new ideas

Character evolution playlist:

I say that Marcus is the character where his duality of being full of gray tones is most evident, sometimes darker, others closer to white.

In this short playlist, in its first song in a row, we hear Viva la Vida, inspired by how King Louis XVI felt in his last moments when he was captured before his execution.

I find it curious that both Damos and Marcus share something related to a ruler who was removed from office.

A king who really doesn't understand what he did wrong, unable to believe his current position as a prisoner of a kingdom he once ruled.Why do I put him in the first place if this sounds more like an ending for the character? Because that's his current situation. He doesn't see himself as the bad guy in the story, he would actually be surprised if someone from his own people reproached him for wanting to kill Arceus.

According to what was mentioned above and what he himself said in chapter 10 (one of my favorites) he feels like a kind of liberator, For now, there is no purpose present that is not for the greater good and if the fact that he has something more personal happens, he will deny it until the last of his days or until he reaches his limit. Marcus loves his town, he loves his people, and he loves the legacy his mother built. Not in the way that a Gaspar glorifies his dynasty, which is more of a mythical and even heroic nature, but rather he does it from a human point of view and what he brought to his people.

So if any of those things that you love come into conflict, you genuinely won't understand how that is possible.

Oh but like I said, Marcus has darkness in him too.l don't blame him, deep down he has resentment, hatred and heartbreaking tears for what the gods and the family of the chosen ones have taken from him.

As I said, Marcus is exactly the same in the comic as he is now, so when I release the complete comic to date, you'll understand what I mean by that.

With the data I have left in the comic and in chapter 10, we understand that he has lost a lot, the credibility of the authority of his dynasty, the support of others and what he loved most in this world. That's why it's understandable that at some point, unintentionally, I want to be in a certain way, Michina's new religion, just as portrayed in her second songtrack.

Honorable mentions:

This is more of a joke than anything else xD

I put Bradley Uppercrust III for the simple fact that his personality reminds me a lot of Marcus, although in Bradley's case it is more caricatured because of the type of film he appears in... That and also because Bradley makes some super funny expressions in the movie, just like I drew Marcus in the comic XD

'That's why I have certain conflicts with Marcus when I change to a more "serious" style,I don't want to lose their magic and on this anniversary I will show you a lot of evidence so you can see that they do resemble each other in that aspect and that Marcus shouldn't lose what makes him who he is xDD

It's a custom that stayed with the comics and it was thanks to a collection of photos of this guy on Facebook that I realized that he looks like our favorite god slayer.

General reflexions:

Marcus is my real pride in terms of having few versions in one story or another, because he has had NONE.It works perfectly on all versions and continues to impress many, earning the hatred of others. Although I like to see others who are more neutral about how they analyze him as the villain that he is... Ahhh! How I love my boy, he makes me so proud that he is in 4th place as the next one tomorrow.
