It's me, just wanna share my PoM related thoughts that NOBODY else in the world would care about. Plus you are thinking "What? This isn't an hetero/homo erotic fan fiction about cute furry animals we know in love that are PoM? If you are still reading this and not offended by that paragraph at all, I like you. But geez, so many fan fictions guys. I haven't read a single one though.
So anyway I've been thinking about Marlene... And how she's on the show for only one reason, The Smurfette Principle. A lot of you are asking, "The the heck is this Oreo bird with candy corn for a mouth talking about?" Well, The Smurfette Principle is "The tendency for works of fiction to have against an ensemble of male characters, in spite of half the human race is female. Unless a show is purposefully aimed at a female viewing audience, the main characters will tend to be male." - TV Tropes
Okay, okay maybe she isn't there for only THAT one reason. Maybe they want to put female in the show because they have mostly males as main characters.... Or how about they wanted another kind, passionate character that isn't Private... Or just a love interest for Skipper... Just look at the "Skarlene" pictures all over this fan page. Marlene is mainly for Skipper. Not Kowalski, Rico, or Private. This is all going by my opinion.
I know what your thinking. "There are other main female characters in PoM" That is somewhat right. I know you got Randa, Pinkie, Those baboon females Maurice has night fantasies about, Becky, Stacy, ect. But tell me this; are they really the sole main characters for the PoM series? When I say that I mean do they have all of the character's I listed on the freaking character's list of the PoM site on Nickelodeon?
But let's get to know Marlene for a bit, what's her origin? She's from Northern California but that's just it. What was exactly her story? She was never loved by her mother or something? ( I know a fan is going to be like "No Have64! She was ______ on episode ______ She clearly said, Marlene: "________" but I wouldn't expect you to know anything about that. *scoff*"
It would be nice to have official origin episode(s) on the idea but NOPE! They give us love interests and more shaking furry butts on my TV screen that makes me EXTREMELY uncomfortable as my parents walk by the TV and think I'm watching some weird furry pornography on the TV.
But It's not all bad, it could be worse. Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath could have made Marlene a female counterpart of Skipper or whatever -which would be freaking lazy!-. This isn't meant to hate on Marlene or anything it's just, my opinion
Well, make sure you leave your comment... In the comment section. See y'all soon, maybe not.
