Why Did Rigby SUFFER THIS MUCH For Mordecai In Regular Show?

there are good mordecai episodes in this arc i promise you they're just not in season one in fact this one might be even worse than the first episode in this art my god so at this point we had one minor appearance from margaret a ladybird who has a good rapport with mordecai but they aren't exactly friends this man will give his left wing just for margaret to look at him he goes to the ends of the earth to find motivation to maybe get the possibility of going on a date with her to mordecai it seems easier to do 11 things and hopefully one of them works in the background and have margaret do the heavy lifting as far as dating than to just simply go up to her and ask her out nothing beats drinking joe with my bro right mordecai huh what yeah hmm mind you at this point margaret isn't a character margaret is a playstation achievement sought out by mordecai that rigby and thus the audience seem to be well aware of now this isn't to say that characters who exist solely to be the romantic interests of a more fleshed out character don't work i like trent from total drama what did he do played a guitar yes totally a deep character character development 101. not every character that we'd grow to love in season 1 would be fleshed out in fact i would say in regular show given what we would go on to know about these characters no character was adequately fleshed out in season one not saying that's a bad thing it was just the beginning however with margaret in retrospect she wasn't that compelling of a character she wasn't even that interesting given that a lot of people had cartoon crushes that weren't always human is margaret like an a or s tier for you guys is she like the raven starfire of this generation never mind that her job requires her to be more hospitable than usual in fact it would be the funniest thing if the reason why mordecai likes margaret is because of the fact that she's obligated or encouraged by a work in her boss to have a nice and inviting personality given that she has to talk to customers that better not be the case dude margaret totally just smiled at me no she didn't yes she did then why don't you ask her out it's not that easy you wouldn't understand yeah i wouldn't understand probably because i'm too busy drinking jill with my bro like we came here to do in the first place remember whereas the first episode within this arc focused a lot more on mordecai's efforts to get into this concert from margaret that rigby went along with because he was also initially wanting to go in the first place this is the first episode in which both of them have separate goals they don't see eye to eye what doesn't help is that the magical tv that has the best commercials would show one for dude perfume in which cartoon network would approve a scene in which multiple women would rip the clothes off of a guy i have no recollection of the scene nor do i see it talked as much as other scenes that flew under the radar that made regular shows so cool of course mordecai not only is interested in this perfume but actively fantasizes about what happens when he applies it what i find the most interesting about this fantasy other than the fact that it's another example of margaret doing the heavy lifting within this theoretical relationship is that margaret has her coffee shop uniform on still within the fantasy now far be it from me to suggest that maybe he's seen maybe one or two other outfits than this before maybe the one that she wore at the concert but i feel like this adds to my theory that her niceness at the coffee shop seems to be the biggest factor as to why he likes her right now ah why you said you would chip in for that awesome new game i'm john i'm also jan we're the strong johns strong jumps from john's you have to buy strong johns strong strong chicago you know in fairness it looked like a really cool game you know i was gonna get it but then i saw how it was released and i'm glad i didn't spend my money on it yet maybe when it becomes a game and not a marketing push anywho the episode cleverly sets up the conflict between the duo to be based on rigby's need to hang out with mordecai given that he has no one to hang out with while in a previous episode this was based on a former band that they shared an interest in now it's off a promise that mordecai flat out breaks in order to get perfume if you buy that cologne then i'm gonna lose all respect for you good then we'll both have the same amount of respect for each other what's with you we had a plan coffee strong john's hangout dude we can hang out later you know we can chalk this up too the jerk has a point while obviously hitting an intentional foul with that respect remark he does make a good point in there he represents the character that wants to move up in life understanding that time is limited and wanting to try out new things is that something that we should make fun of mordechai for wanting to do absolutely not but we can make fun of him for thinking that perfume was going to be the end-all solution to his situation with margaret in fact one thing that i did learn over the course of life is that if that truly was the be all and all solution to get margaret that's not a good sign that's actually a really bad sign because then that tells me that anyone could have done what mordecai did and anyone could have bought the perfume it wasn't necessarily you and in fact that relationship would be incredibly shallow and potentially incredibly short at least in hindsight on the more positive side though it does start the habit of mordekai using other items that compensate for his lack of self-confidence i know he's going to use mints in an episode and a time machine in this arc so this is just setting up a future habit which you know points for this show for being consistent with that he applies the perfume in which he says in the episode would probably make him too busy with the ladies who even cared that rigby threatens to find new friends and not only does nothing happen but the aroma repulses pops however he does attract another rarity did someone say there's dude time down here can i almost break them spray who are these guys i don't know these unicorns invade the park under the guise of being helpful i like the character designs i like the unicorn dude's voice is pretty good for who ended up being the antagonist now you may think that i'm embellishing this little disagreement between mordecai and rigby for the sake of a video but no you can go back and watch an episode it's a major factor that affects the rest of that episode because they'll go on to take more digs at each other once again not seeing eye to eye on this situation this is also to say that rigby isn't exactly being an angel in this situation he'd actively make decisions that would either make mordechai annoyed or upset but also humiliate him later within the episode in his mind he doesn't see why this would be a big deal to mordecai and even if mordecai isn't taking the right steps as far as on his side to him this would only show that mordecai is being silly but if you're mordecai all this would show from mordechai's perspective is that rigby doesn't want to see you happy so it's a grey area issue i see both sides of the situation it's actually quite interesting when you dissect it that way it shows you how two people who are generally portrayed to be within the show as good guys ultimately are not coming from the pursuit of happiness the same way it also shows you that morality could be relative and perspective is definitely relative something that you may see one way someone else will see a completely different way and there is no objective truth towards it plus when you're bros you don't exactly speak about your inner feelings my source i'm a bro i have bros it's just a bro thing oh no bro you don't use this to get the ladies you use it to hang out with the bros finally somebody's speaking my language gross gross gross broke bro the unicorns would offer to help mordecai and we get into an interesting scene to say the least outside of the coffee shop mordecai would ask for advice on speaking to margaret the unicorns would first have him drink from the quotes cup of knowledge which uh ended up being other unicorn liquids you know geez this episode did a lot but anyway what gets me is that rigby would merely side with the unicorns and saying that you know they're just having fun they were just having a little bit of fun before they would give mordechai advice on how to pick up margaret but mordecai would fight rigby specifically i mean it could be because he's already been digging at him for a majority of the day but wouldn't you be more upset at the person who gave you the unicorn sludge i suppose it could also be that because mordecai knows rigby he feels like rigby should side with him in this situation but he's shown all day that that's not going to be the case they don't see eye to eye so could it be that just rigby is the smallest so mordecai thought that he can easily win a fight between the two we don't know but it seems overly hostile to the wrong person at the wrong time of course the advice given not only doesn't work but makes mordecai look like a fool never mind that they would give him not unicorn sludge even though it looks really familiar but they give him a phrase lay it down to say to margaret in which neither of them understand what he's trying to say don't worry we're still gonna help you get your lady how by partying at your place wait what it'd be shown here that the unicorns are getting out of control drinking breaking everything in sight rigby reading the room would try to get in on the fun only to cross the line with mordecai once again they're just seeing their life differently at least one at this time wants to find more entertainment than just his bro his best friend he wants to find other people to fill out the other aspects of his life and start to fulfill those things now being out of school and i believe dropping out of college and the other one is just happy where they're at and they just kind of want to relax from now and later on in life they'll think about those questions and answer those when the time comes up so like with any other bad influence episode you think you would have the scene where the main character the protagonist is hanging out with the bad influence and the activities ramp up in terms of intensity and it crosses the protagonist's moral line but that scene doesn't exist here they go from being friends with rigby to instantly treating him like garbage and i don't get it i guess the trampoline and benson scenes are supposed to show that change but rigby wasn't necessarily making a stand or telling them to stop he was frozen in his tracks he agrees with the sentiment of having fun he just didn't want to be a party pooper he didn't say anything if there were anything to improve about this episode it would be this part if anything you would think the unicorns would be more hostile towards mordecai rigby has done nothing but side with them the only other reason i can see them turning on rigby is because he's not a unicorn which isn't racist because unicorns and raccoons aren't necessarily separated by race but it's definitely something i gotta put my finger on it so put a pin in that and that's coming from someone who would put raccoons above unicorns in a tearless and an animal tearless like it would be subjectively wrong to put it the other way it's not my fault if you would have just hung out with me and played some strong johns none of this would have happened look i'm sorry about the game but that doesn't give you the right to treat me like garbage you owe me an apology i'm sorry there was definitely wrong on both ends here in this episode with rigby siding with the unicorns not seeing that it would push mordecai away and mordecai only thinking about himself breaking promises with half-hearted attempts at romance the distinction here is that one of these behaviors would mellow out and the other would become the focus from multiple episodes that focus is the basis of this entire arc that i'm starting maybe this is like the regular show equivalent of how people see spongebob and squidward where people will go oh i relate to spongebob when i was younger and now that i'm older i relate to squidward even though i disliked that phrase with great intensity maybe i just related to mordecai when i was in my teens and now i relate more to rigby it doesn't even need to be about the bros aspect but if you're just going to ask her then just ask her don't go through 60 different steps to get the possibility when you can just ask her get the answer right then and there she says yes cool but if she says no move on hang with your bro find someone else simple life decisions not saying it's easy just saying it's simple so now they must figure out a plan to get rid of the unicorn we've seen pops in the beginning-ish benson towards the middle and now skips makes an appearance with this trademark solving of an issue he's quite calm and brings a different energy to the episode as always speaking of different skips and benson execute the unicorns via a glittery explosion but what if they come back they ain't coming back another episode that deals with the character having blood on their hands cool fine by me the duo reconciled their differences and we learn a few things one this is the start of mordecai compensating for his lack of inner confidence and also using alternate methods that are less direct two we still know absolutely nothing about margaret at this point she is just the coffee girl and lastly 3 rigby isn't exactly more mature than mordecai but he definitely has less shame which indirectly helps his confidence with certain things ah this was an interesting episode i'd say it's good obviously i'd be hard-pressed to find a bad season 1 regular show episode but mordecai was just unsufferable i didn't know that he started off this way it was just a fun experience just to watch him whine his way throughout the episode but at the same time it's like dude just read the nike slogan anywho the next episode is mordecai and the rigbis it's the last one from season one of this arc and then we can get into season two how are you guys enjoying this arc so far i know i have a lot of regular show fans because of the rise and fall and all the other videos i've done around it so i'd love to hear what you guys think about me exploring this arc so far i can't wait to get around to the next one well until that time thank you so much for your time take care alph out foreign
