This is beautiful. Marcel is so damn underappreciated. Marcel Gerard is a fucking legend... not only did he rule NOLA for over 100 years, he managed to become both a Mikaelson and then survive them all the stronger for it. No one... literally no other character in the TVD universe is as impressive.
The part from 1.21....chef's kiss. You got the essence of the character so well. Marcel is so overhated and for what? He was just as broken as the Mikaelsons and he had every reason (just like them) to do what he did. Great edit!
Was "cleaning" my subsriptions tab and stumbled upon your channel again. Couldn't resist checking this edit out - "In the End" is my fav Linkin Park song and I'm a sucker for love stories (even though I'm not really familliar with this universe) and monomyth-like struggles of heroes. Yup, definitely keeping this subscription active 😌 Hope you're doing well. Best wishes!
I believe he had every right to hate the Michaelson including Klaus. Yes Klaus did love him but he also kinda choose Elijah over him (that's probably the way marcel saw it at least). And yes it was necessary to kill davina in that moment but think of it this way marcel thought of davina as his daughter and loved her just as much as Klaus loved hope. So if this was the other way around and marcel had to kill hope (indirectly or not) Klaus would do the same thing marcel did. But every one always see it from the Michaelson point of view (because they are the "heros" of this story and people like them more)
Totally agree that Marcel was so underappreciated. His character was loyalty personified, and he was able to be a strong leader who didn't force his people to follow him, unlike Klaus. They could have explored so much more with him: racism, leadership, fatherhood. Really wish they'd spent a little more time on that and a little less on "the trinity" whining. Sadly the writing and acting sometimes didn't have the necessary depth.
yall notice how klaus didnt do anything to him? elijah murdered him, freya and elijah killed davina. ever since hope was comfirmed, he stopped bring the bad guy ( until the begenning on season 5, but he stopped being the bad guy few episodes later) the only mikealson he loved was rebekah. not klaus. he might of loved kol but he murdered davina but she came back to life. KLAUS GAVE HIM A GREAT LIFE, ALL KLAUS WANTED WAS A NORMAL FAMILY.
Marcels fighting skills are on par with Elijah where as Klaus and kol have the anger even Elijah flinched at kol’s anger that’s why there always needs to be 2 mikael sons to put kol down Klaus and kol nor Finn fight that well
Those who justifying what marcel did to the Mikealsons should not forget how badly marcel treated the witches. What happened was sad, but as Rebekkah said, "we were at war. War has casualties." It is what it is. Marcel was just a power hungry lowley ordinary vampire who, even when he became enhanced (which was poor and wrong storytelling) he was still weak cause he kept klaus alive and couldn't kill him cause in the end he realised that he still needed klaus's blood to heal the bite of a werewolf. So much for claiming to be the strongest 😂😂😂😂😂 After all that tyler suffered at the hands of klaus and the mikealsons, he should've been the one to take lucien's serum and punish klaus by taking down his family 1 by 1, starting with Marcel aka Klaus' Son. It would've been perfect that way. After all, Tyler was a Hybrid.
