Penguins of Madagascar Article: Marlene into the Principle (PG)

posted by have64

Hello fellow Fanguins, Lemur-lovers, and Otter... Wannabes,
It's me, just wanna share my PoM related thoughts that NOBODY else in the world would care about. Plus آپ are thinking "What? This isn't an hetero/homo erotic پرستار fiction about cute furry animals we know in love that are PoM? If آپ are still reading this and not offended سے طرف کی that paragraph at all, I like you. But geez, so many پرستار fictions guys. I haven't read a single one though.

So anyway I've been thinking about Marlene... And how she's on the دکھائیں for only one reason, The Smurfette Principle. A lot of آپ are asking, "The the heck is this Oreo bird with candy مکئی 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 دکھائیں 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 دکھائیں because they have mostly males as main characters.... یا how about they wanted another kind, passionate character that isn't Private... یا just a love interest for Skipper... Just look at the "Skarlene" pictures all over this پرستار page. Marlene is mainly for Skipper. Not Kowalski, Rico, یا Private. This is all going سے طرف کی my opinion.

I know what your thinking. "There are other main female characters in PoM" That is somewhat right. I know آپ got Randa, Pinkie, Those لنگور 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 فہرست 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 سے طرف کی her mother یا something? ( I know a پرستار is going to be like "No Have64! She was ______ on episode ______ She clearly said, Marlene: "________" but I wouldn't expect آپ 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 مزید shaking furry butts on my TV screen that makes me EXTREMELY uncomfortable as my parents walk سے طرف کی 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 یا whatever -which would be freaking lazy!-. This isn't meant to hate on Marlene یا anything it's just, my opinion

Well, make sure آپ leave your comment... In the تبصرہ section. See y'all soon, maybe not.

SaturdaySurpris I never thought about that! Well, I, for one, won´t complain about PoM mostly being about males since female characters often do nothing more than annoy me with their "I´m better than you guys" thing or the "all we girls ever talk about is girl stuff and boys we like". Marlene is probably one of the only female cartoon characters I know that isn´t trying to compete with boys or does nothing more but diss them. xP I mean, there are times when she would roll her eyes at them or in Haunted Habitat, she did ´take the lead´ down in the sewers, but that doesn´t matter. Since in all the other episodes, she can have a normal conversation with the penguins (as normal as a convo with the PoM guys can get) She´s not all like, "stupid boys don´t know a thing, luckily I´m a girl and can show them how it’s done" Anyway, I don´t really think she´s created for Skipper cuz if they really just made her to be Skipper´s possible GF, then they´d make the two fall in love and date or something. But she is similar to Skipper, I never noticed that until you mentioned it. XP If you have more thoughts about other characters, please post them. I think it´s interesting to read what other people found out about the show that I was too stupid to noticed. XPP

have64 I was not saying she was put into the show as a love interest but she dose have a strong connection with Skipper, stronger than the other males and I agree with you. Female characters that has those "Girls are best" thing tend to get annoying and very childish. Personally, I think that writing is just a flat-out lazy character persona. I'm glad Marlene isn't part of that female cliche. I am thankful for your comment.

SaturdaySurpris You´re welcomed! I´m glad someone agrees with me. xp

This is a parody of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Well, آپ probably already figured that out from the title. *sigh* Anyway, it’s told from Private’s perspective.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own POM یا Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. That was written سے طرف کی Judith Viorst. آپ should read it. آپ know, if آپ like picture کتابیں made for Kindergarteners.

I went to بستر with مچھلی in my mouth, but now there’s مچھلی in my feathers and when I got out of my bunk, I missed the ladder and fell flat on my face. When I was washing up, my مونگفلی, مونگ پھلی Butter...

The Crew’s Secret: Part 3 Skipper’s abduction

    [Three figures اقدام along in the dark. It was nearing sunup so only their outlines could be made out. They neared slowly on their target; Skipper. The medium-sized figure takes out a steel cage big enough for one penguin]
    Smallest penguin: [whispering] are آپ sure about this?
    Tallest penguin: Absolutely. Skipper must not know about this. If he finds out he might try to intervene so we must keep him absent while the procedures are taking place.
[They near the sleeping Skipper holding up the steel cage.]
