Gemma and M3GAN. Gemma Forrester is shown to be a perfectionist, yet messy, clumsy, antisocial to an extent, incredibly independent, and she loves being in control. Meanwhile, M3GAN is presented as perfect. She has like, infinite knowledge, she doesn't stumble or stutter, she can multitask, but more importantly, she's very social. It's how she gains knowledge and insight, she's literally built to be a companion. Gemma isn't really close with anyone, even Tess and Cole seem more distant with her than they do each other. We see that she wasn't close with her sister, Nicole, before she died, and she seemed more comfortable in her home with her creations (Elsie, Bruce, etc.) and although she (ARGUABLY) doesn't need anyone else, she wants someone. Elsie reveals this when she mentions Gemma's on dating apps when bringing Cady home for the first time. But even with Cady around, she still chooses to hermit herself in her office, working. M3GAN was made to be close with people. She's obviously close with Cady (which I will speak more about them later), and she spent so long with Gemma--as revealed before their final fight in the first movie--and she doesn't see herself how Gemma and almost everyone else does, as this tool, or doll, or robot, but as equal to Gemma. But Gemma sees M3GAN as less than her. Despite the fact that M3GAN can do so much more than Gemma would be able to. Gemma calls Cady, "Not [her] child." M3GAN refers to Cady as both Gemma and M3GAN's child. Their personalities clash a LOT within the two films. Gemma wants to be in control over situations, but M3GAN can and does take control over situations. Gemma after making a robot and somehow getting into the most deadly situationship of all time:

M3GAN and Cady. Cady James is this depressed, hollow 11-year-old girl for the beginning of the movie, after her parents die in that car accident. And, rightfully, she acts that way. She's dealing with an uncomfortable amount of grief for a child her age. Of course she's going to be shut-in, quiet, misbehave, lash out, be irrational at times, etc. And of course she's going to be so dependent on M3GAN, who is so much more capable of parenting than Gemma is. M3GAN's always there, always listens, "always knows what to say," according to Cady herself. Cady, despite her "flaws", was the only one to see M3GAN as more than just a tool, or a doll, or a robot, but as a person. "I know you think of her as a friend--" "She IS my friend!" Regardless of how M3GAN is programmed to care for Cady or if she's completely gained her autonomy, her care for Cady is real. There should be no denying that.

M3GAN doodles... Can you tell I love her...

I still need to edit chapter 3 (probably will get a whole rework for the second half of it) but if you haven't read it yet and are interested you should totally give it a read (and then re-read when I change 20% of it...)

Also soft launching M3GAN x Gemma Forrester to be GemM3G... (GemMeg, for those unsure how to pronounce it.)
