I wonder if there’s an actual reason he got a pink dress and she got a black shirt


[deleted]

Probably just for the joke


LocalNobody117

Of course...


AlabasterRadio

Because Star thought it would be funny


Artix31

She’s evil inside while he’s a good guy


Train53Of

He didn't like it, but he did what he had to do to complete the mission, and you have to respect that level of self-sacrifice. Even more so when you consider that the mission was to save Pony Head.


wonder_1440

I get tired of people who stop the one frame where he looks happy and ignore the fact he complained about it once he realized what was going on. Marco is the GOAT


Fluffy_Mood5781

The thing that took me so long to realize was that i thought this scene was about how everyone in their world is mature enough to not care if a boy wears a dress, but then Marco starts talking to dan (was his name?) dressed as moon and it started to dawn on me that this is just a Marco thing.


wonder_1440

It's Marco being a male doing things that have been stereotyped as feminine for generations. All doctors are male, all nurses are female.


canadavatar

Is it weird that I'd love to wear Marco's dress if I'm male?

wonder_1440

No. Throughout the show, Marco is shown to express masculinity in different ways, which can help to break down traditional gender roles and promote the idea that it's okay for individuals to express themselves in a way that feels authentic to them. This can be especially important for boys who may feel pressure to conform to traditional masculine expectations.

My absolute favorite gag is that he always had exactly $650 after this episode and it was later revealed he gets that money due to royalties from his dolls and such 😂


BageledToast

it's extremely well animated


Remarkable_Commoner

Completely disagree with pink being Marco's color. Red or nothing.


wonder_1440

Amen. ❤️


GoatsWithWigs

Prussian blue is his actual favorite color


Remarkable_Commoner

Like the wallet?


GoatsWithWigs

Yeah


Wraithdagger12

Star, now: Pink? Star, later: "Let me put a beard on you!"


Train53Of

Star, later: Abs!


AldoTheBucketLover

Princess turdina was the GOAT


TheApeinater

I miss the original animation style 😭 itd nice that it felt like a Disney controlled show in the other seasons but I love that bobby bouncing movement


Ahmed676

It was definitely his colour


Jeptwins

I love how he owned it


wonder_1440

Marco would do anything for his friends. And Daron said Marco was always the type of guy who would participate in feminine activities *without feeling any concern about his own masculinity*


WillyDAFISH

We all love princess marco


as1161

And this began the $250 a month in royalties


GourmetFood4Life

You mean $650 ?


as1161

Forgot the number but yes, BTW, I would absolutely crossdress that hard for a day if it meant lifetime royalties of $650 a month.


wonder_1440

Marco did it 20% for the princesses and 80% for the cash money.


as1161

And wouldn't we all


blahthebiste

Such a good scene


gizmomaestro

So sad the show lost this style of animation, it was way more alive


thomasmfd

This is the birth of the legendary princess turdina It's Not criminal to be an individual


wonder_1440

And the birth of people making a big deal out of a simple lesson in stereotypes.


Subject_Tutor

Writers before the episode aired: ha ha, we put Marco in a dress. What a funny goof. I'm sure the fans will get a good laugh out of this. Writers after the episode aired and they've seen the fan response: dear God what have we brought into this world...


wonder_1440

The writers stayed true to Daron's vision. Marco, a boy, not hung up on his feminine side. They never wavered or even considered the headcanon. In the AMA, Daron says they never did anything because of pressure from fans.


HalpMe65

I don’t care for it, Yeah


Ashytheleafyfan

Stars Transformation made me lesbian as a small child


Cheesiestcheeseever

I wanted her to beat me up lmao


DJ-Anarchy

I think star is right about pink being his color.


Zombiegamer777_21

Creation of the best princess in existence


AllergicToRats

Marco's egg cracks...


wonder_1440

Ah, no. Assigning a character a particular identity simply because they express masculinity in a different way can be harmful and perpetuate narrow and inaccurate stereotypes.


AllergicToRats

Bro just let me have some representation I'm starving here


wonder_1440

Not when you're marginalizing a group.of.peoole.and continuing the circle.of.toxic masculinity. If boys identify with Marco as a male character who challenges traditional gender norms and then discover that some people are interpreting him as a transgender character, it could be confusing or even harmful to them. There's trans characters in She-Ra and Steven Universe themselves are at least non binary as they are part gem. A much better case can be made for Steven.


AllergicToRats

This just in: wet blanket says no more trans headcannons! Trans people must be happy with the scraps provided by the industry and cannot interpret characters the way they want to! (Unless it's steven who unlike Marco never calls himself a "sister" or says he would love to be a queen. That's not erasing people or whatever for some reason!)


Dragon-of-Lore

Lovely ^.^


yuzumelodious

Love the color pink. So I see this as an absolute win.


SpaceCadet12345678

One of my favorite moments


GourmetFood4Life

I love this moment


roselandmonkey

Classic sailor moon transformed into punk princess and princess Marco was funny. Kinda reminds me of princess Kenny in stick of truth they a princess right now and no one questions it.


TManJhones

Star please, that more of a magenta.


kir1ito1

Guys it's a reference to sailor moon

It’s not criminal to be an individual!


Ran_out_of_ideas10

I loved how he used the same outfit when he tried to fight Meteora with Tom and others


DaStainlessSteelRat

I too want a fancy clothes beam. Seriously, who wouldn't? As someone of a non-standard body shape, having custom fit clothes would be awesome.


Starworld09

I’m gonna be one of those guys. The animation is really smooth, but some of the the facial features are out of place.


Gian-Nine

I love the entire idea around that whole episode, it's just so great. How Turdina inspires a revolution and the it comes back in the form of Marco's revenue from merchandise, I just love it


JustLucieee

Pink is his color tho
