Day 10 - Marcus Cole and my favorite quote

[alexcat]

Marcus might have been a Mary Sue but he was a damned sight better one than Byron! I loved him and his old fashioned chivalry and his fatalistic view of life in general.

I love that quote, too.

Awww, yes that's a good one! :)

--- To be fair "he's better than Byron" is a low bar though.

True! I really liked him. Jason Carter was simply adorable in the part and I really loved the funny bits he got. Mary Sue or not, I like him.

One of my favorite quotes from the series, too.

I read an comment not too long ago that, rather than a Mary Sue, Marcus was a Manic Pixie Dream Girl Guy.

awwww, Marcus <3 this is definitely one of my favourite quotes out of the whole show, certainly my top one from him. good choices!

Was he really a Mary Sue? I'm with the commenter above about him being Manic Pixie Dream Guy :D

Marcus is absolutely not a Gary Stu, because he only once does something that truly impacts any of the major arcs, and that genuinely is something that he was uniquely able to do (convincing Neroon that Delenn could lead the Rangers).

One of my favorite Marcus quotes and also my favorite B5 quotes. Marcus gets so many great lines! :D

That really is an amazing quote.

One of my favourite tags on AO3 goes something like "Marcus Cole Is A Ridiculous Human Being And I Love Him." It's so true. <3
