Tag the OC that the fandom would catastrophically misrepresent

Is Marco an anti-hero? I’m not really sure what the term means.

I'll argue: No, Marco isn't an antihero. But he wants us to see him as one.

My understanding from my half-remembered BA in English is that the antihero is:

The protagonist

Someone who thinks they're at least somewhat in the right at the time the story takes place

Someone the audience is meant to think is wrong (or disagree with)

The Ur-example IIRC is Pip from Great Expectations — if you don't spend much of the story cringing at what a classist pig he's becoming, read another book. Wikipedia lists Dexter Morgan, Walter White, and Annaliese Keating as recent examples.

Obviously Marco's a co-protagonist of Animorphs, and if his ethics don't make you at least a little uncomfortable sometimes then you are not the kind of person I want to be around. But he rarely ever thinks he's in the right when he's doing something morally sketchy. If anything he's too hard on himself in places where he's been put in an impossible position. Not only that, but he puts a ton of effort into trying to do the right thing, even when it's hard. He just wants the reader to think it comes easy for him.

Like, when he says "call me Mr. Ruthless" in #25, he's sad about the baby seals whose dead mom he's eating, because he has no other food source. Cassie and Tobias (the team softies) both set aside this concern as "we gotta eat" + "at least the baby seals will feed a baby orca." Marco tries to turn that empathy off, but thinks of his own dead mom the whole time. Or his speech about ruthlessness being "the bright, clear line... that goes from motive to means... not caring about anything but the beautiful fact that you can see the solution" (#30). People quote that passage out of context, but the context is all-important: he's crying himself to sleep with the knowledge he must kill his mom to save a bunch of strangers. He loves Eva infinitely more than he cares for Jara and the other hork-bajir, but he selflessly chooses to stop Visser One anyway. That "ruthless" decision? Is to sacrifice his own family to save Toby's, because he knows it's what his mom would want even though it's the last thing he wants.

So most of Marco's "ruthless" "cold" "expedient" decisions really come down to shutting down his emotions in order to put others' needs ahead of his own. Doesn't mean he's never mean or selfish — just ask Tobias. Doesn't even make him a good person — look at Nora. But the guy who doesn't care about anyone? That's who Marco wishes he could be. That guy was never an Animorph in the first place, and probably has his mom back to boot. Marco's actual self is the guy who fights the war despite his best intentions, because he's willing to put Jake's love for Tom over his own love for his dad.
