If you only watch the season 4, it's easy to like Taylor. But if you watched the other seasons of The OC and loved it, it's almost impossible not missing Marissa. She was dramatic but it's a DRAMATIC show. The OC isn't The OC without her :(
I have watched all 4 seasons and rewatched it many times and I HATE Marissa and do NOT miss her at all and I actually wish they killed her off back in S1 the show would have been better
Marissa was a crazy bitch, she will just drag Ryan to her level. Remember when he almost got arrested because she had alcohol with her? Ryan deserves to be happy.
Marissa was dramatic but I think she was finally doing better, and she was gonna recover with the travel with her father. She broke up with Volchock, helped Ryan and decided that she needed fresh air. I think it was her moment and she just died. And Taylor... she's just annoying.... I can see that she's better than in the other seasons but she's still annoying and so corny
I feel like I only love Seth as an onscreen character because he's hilarious and so so so awkward, but if I knew him in real life, I really wouldn't like him at all lmao
@@martaverneda she annoyed me since Oliver and the fact that she didn‘t change and hurt herself and esp Ryan was too much. Ryan changed for the better which they should have done with her. They were not healthy for each other.
Taylor is so whacky! I love that! But still: I miss Marissa! Her and Ryan belonged together!!! I hate Mischa Barton for leaving the show! What was she thinking?
I feel like Ryan had very broad taste in women. Theresa, Marissa, and Lindsay were nothing alike, but he strongly cared for all of them in different ways. Likewise, Sadie was much different from those three, and he felt very strongly about her, too. So to say that Taylor isn't his type is pretty odd. I think any girl could be his type. In real life, Ben McKenzie's type was always Latina women, though, so Theresa was the closest to his real life type. His crushes were all Latina celebrities and many of his girlfriends were Latina, especially Brazilian women. Finally, he married a Brazilian woman (Morena Baccarin).
@@theresamahfouz790 It was ALWAYS MARRISA for Ryan. Same for Seth and Summer. That is why they all were on and off again. I was talking mostly about personality, not race. They are teens finding themselves. That's what they stayed true to in the stories. So, they looked for alternatives. Everyone still has a vision or idea or type of person that matches them. The show died with Marissa's death. The show runners admitted it was a mistake to end her character. Ryan and Marissa , Seth and Summer. That is what audiences wanted to watch. What is ODD about that? Of course, I respect your opinion. But you made my point for me when you described Ben McKenzie's TYPE as Latino. Thanks for the reply.
@@dnied9957 I hear ya. I respect your opinion as well. I don’t know if we can say most fans were glued to RM and SS. I used to moderate a forum for The OC back in the day and there were a variety of fan opinions. Most fans loved SS. Many fans loved RM, but many fans also shipped RT instead. Among friends I knew from college who watched the show, none of them liked RM. Then there’s me. My personal opinion? I wanted Ryan and Anna to date. I’m a Ryan/Anna shipper. And for fan fiction, I’m a Ryan/Summer shipper. I love the tragic beauty of RM, and I like Marissa as an individual unlike some of my peers, but they weren’t good for each other. Out of the girls Ryan actually dated on the show, I thought he meshed best with Lindsay and Theresa. (Lindsay brought out the adorable nerd in him and that felt like such a natural progression of his character given that he was always smart and his childhood dream was to be an architect). But at the end of the day, I cared more about Ryan/Sandy, Ryan/Seth, and Ryan/Luke than any of the romantic relationships.
@@theresamahfouz790 Opinions vary,sure. Perhaps the show was collapsing internally. It was said Barton approved of her being killed off. The others also were reported to have gotten less interested in the O.C. Storylines ALWAYS have love triangles, and so the scripts are regurgitated. But when one of the main triangles is dead, then there is a void that must be filled. Maybe Lindsey fit Ryan the best. Her being in the Family though ,does complicate things. I enjoyed that script. But...the pain for Marissa was heartbreaking, as intended for the viewer. They then ship her off, and who has he got? Enter Marissa . Audiences cheered. They keep it going awhile more. With Seth/ Summer, it was just simpler because of Seth. All the Parents , especially Sandy, were extremely important. Perfect adult drama stories for the time. The thief, the slut, the drunk and rock solid Sandy. And of course the Rich controlling Grandpa. I think Three seasons was enough.The fourth season's beginning was necessary, but then it waned. Take care.
@@dnied9957 I hated that they made Lindsay the illegitimate daughter of Caleb. She and Ryan had chemistry to me, and I wish they would have just let him have a fun, healthy relationship with her. Yeah, I get what you mean. I feel like they threw too much drama at Marissa's character. Ryan had (in my opinion) the toughest life, but he was less dramatic than she was. They didn't have to make her a drama magnet. That was the writers' fault, really. I would have liked for there to have been more seasons. I wanted there to be a few seasons where Ryan is in college at Berkeley (and Luke makes a comeback as his roommate) and where Seth and Summer are in college at Brown. This is why I'm writing a Ryan fanfic where he's at Berkeley and Luke is his roommate.
greed. but the best episode is The last Christmahkuh episode when they go into coma and there is alternate realities really is the best and most creative episode of all time.. and people cant forget about "Tell me about her" also in season four one of the best scenes of the whole show .Period
