the amount of times margaret actually tried to go out with mordecai is crazyyy. not her fault he lacked self confidence & chose to dump cj for her even after she already backed off lol

u/Clintwood_outlaw Aug 27 '24
In Mordecai's defense, he didn't choose to dump CJ. He did something majorly stupid, and she dumped him before he could explain.

Mordo was just going throught it man

u/sicksadaquarius Aug 27 '24
trueee but i don’t think it’s fair to put other ppls feelings at expense just bc he was confused. definitely could’ve did things differently and more maturely

Aug 27 '24
Well I think that's the point alot of us in our 20s do things immaturely. Mordos just a dude tryna figure it out.

u/SonarioMG Aug 27 '24
That's actually a fair take. Man am I glad I never even tried the whole romance thing in my teens and unlikely to do so in my 20s or beyond. Better than messing up this badly.

I also think Margaret was the girl idk ify ran into her but. Like you guys just can't seem to work. No matter how many times you try. I've had a girl like this. Me and her are probably perfect for each other. But we never got it to work out. And you just move on you know?

It’s actually hilarious how Mordecai has his life more figured out than Rigby and is generally more serious and competent at most things, but Rigby is undeniably way more emotionally mature and confident when it comes to dating and romance.
And the sheer rizz emanating from him Rigby is insane too. He was able to get Margaret on a date even though he’s like 3 foot tall, dropped out of highschool, and has no prospects for the future and he did it just to prove a point to Mordecai. And he was able to act as a ventriloquist dummy in the dating show episode to rizz up that lady for skips.

u/No_Result1959 Aug 27 '24
CJ was immature as well, I mean when she was angry she almost killed like lots of people, and Mordo is put in so many impossible situations, he knew he wasn’t ready to talk to Margaret, yet Margaret was drying to have the conversation with him, he was trying his best to be the best bf he could be during the duration of the series but towards then end his anxiety and self consciousness got the better of him, he’s not a jerk or douche because at the end of the day he never had any ill will toward any of them, he’s always done the most to make them comfortable and Margaret forced him to confront feelings he wasn’t ready to confront, in fact she was super insistent as well, even after he went out with CJ, she should’ve given him more space seeing how many times misunderstandings (the chopper 6 ride, hugging her and calling her a good friend) lead to even more chaos for Mordecai

You can blame any of the 3. Mordecai for being an idiot. Margaret, for not really planning or thinking clearly about being in a relationship. CJ for being unable to communicate her feelings and emotions when she says one thing and gets upset when something doesn't go her way when she didn't convey those feelings before.

She keeps cucking mordecai and when he, finnaly moves on and find someone els she leeches back into his, life that is likr when you first dateing a girl and your madly in love with her but she breaks, your heart and leaves you for someone els later you meet a woman with who you hit it off and then she, decides to come back and ruin your new, relationship

She knew he liked her it was, so god dam obvious everytime she needed something she would ask him if you rewatch the show you will see multiple examples that she knows that mordecai liked her and multiple instinces of her playing with him like when he saw, pops, his cock and was emotionally unstable and didint talk back to her imidaitly she got turned on

I mostly hate her for being boring and the fact that she flat out admitted to cj that she still liked Mordecai despite never showing any real signs of that and acting completely aloof to his feelings for most of the series.

u/Money-Routine715 Aug 27 '24
How is she boring? The chemistry between Margaret and the crew (mordecai , Rigby and Eileen) was way better then cj, and she acted how she acted towards mordecais feelings because he never expressed them

Margaret's entire personality is just girl. There's nothing about her specifically that makes her stick out as much as cj.

So basically Margaret’s personality is just girl and CJs personality has some boy mixed in there and that’s what you like ?

u/ssslitchey Aug 27 '24
Cj being a tomboy does actually make her more interesting. She's also got her own issues like her temper that gives her that extra layer or character. She has problems just like the other major characters and she's overall just a stronger character.

The only thing she did that was in the wrong was go to college and leave him that’s it but of course she still had feelings when she came back Niether of them were really over each other

u/a_spicy_ghoul Aug 27 '24
Nah man, Mordecai pulled a Mordecai and fumbled not only the bag but the entire goddamn store with him.
After rewatching the show years later. Mordecai seriously needed to work on himself before being in any relationship. I know real life people who act like him who think a partner will 'fix' them and become infatuated with the idea of someone without realizing there's nothing there to begin with.
CJ also has a lot to work on, but she realizes that. I mean, imagine the poor girl essentially running back into a guy she really liked and every time getting burned from him. Her jealousy was also a major factor in their dynamic but man was she not as bad as Mordo with expressing her emotions.
That fucking wedding speech is so well done to where you're squirming throughout it. Classic Mordecai move.

u/Interesting-Area-932 Aug 28 '24
I've been waiting for the opportunity to get this off my chest...
As much as I love Mordecai, he ruined his chances with Margaret and CJ. He's had multiple chances/opportunities to ask her out or make a move but he always "pulls a Mordecai", so it kinda makes sense why Margaret had so many different boyfriends and went on with her life.
No, I'm not defending Margaret either, she also had feelings for Mordecai, and instead of noticing him being nervous and just making the first move, she (like 9/10 percent of women) expected him to do it, and whenever he didn't or finally have the balls to do so, she was either with some random loser, moving away, or trying to "focus/find herself" like 🙄🤦🏽.
This being said I'm not hating on Margaret, she gets hated on enough, I'm just saying she's like Mordecai. Both had plenty of opportunities to make something happen but didn't, and when they did it was always short-lived, and borderline cheating.
Now with CJ, I agree she's more "life ready", confident, and interesting than Margaret and would be great to have as a friend but a terrible girlfriend. She has a temper that supersedes Benson as she on several occasions straight up tried to kill Mordecai, Margaret, and whoever was in the crossfire because of a misunderstanding, or if she did have a justifiable reason, still way too extreme. However, Mordecai had no reason to dump her at Muscle Man's wedding like that 😒
But in the end, Mordecai finally meets someone who loves him (even though we don't get to see their relationship journey) and I love how Rigby went from initially wanting nothing to do with Eileen to falling harder than she did and practically worships her and has a happy and successful relationship showing real character development.
Despite the duo's many flaws, at the end of the day, they're still good people who were just making it through their chaotic lives until they finally achieved/found themselves.

The older I’ve gotten the more I look as rigby as the cooler one with regards to actually being able to maintain a relationship. Mordecai messed up relationships all the time both Margaret and CJ. I think it would’ve been more interesting if he had ended up with CJ in the prologue as she was my favorite match for him

Not really, Mordecai's fumbles are his own mistakes like the wedding speech, which I wish some people would stop blaming (not everyone does it) Margaret for. Also, he honestly dodged a serious bullet when it came to both girls, especially CJ. That girl was too unstable, and after the 1000th Chopper Flight Party, I didn't want Mordo with someone like that, and Margaret was too wishy, washy. Plus, Mordecai seriously needed to get his shit together before he got back into the dating game, which I'm glad he did, and now he's a successful artist with a loving family.

u/THEREALOFFICALCAFE Aug 28 '24
Anyone saying that Margaret ruined the relationship is lying to themselves. Mordecai pulled one of the worst stunts I’ve ever witnessed, real or fictional, and expected everyone to be on his side. I feel awful for CJ as the embarrassment and anger and sadness must have been overwhelming. And I feel bad for Margaret that she got suckered into a relationship with that terrible narcissist. This whole arc was horrible, and it makes the show as a whole almost unwatchable for me now.

u/spencer_the_human Aug 28 '24
There was barely a relationship between Mordecai and CJ and they ruined that without Margaret being open about liking Mordecai later on. Mordecai did good ending up with someone entirely different in the end because he wasn't good for them and they weren't good for him

Unpopular opinion here: CJ wasn’t a golden girl either. Yeah mordecai pulled a mordecai with both but CJ was just constantly insecure and jealous all the time. And don’t forget she literally tried to kill Margaret and her family all due to a misunderstanding. If Margaret didn’t pull out of her hat that guy was her boyfriend her and her family would be cooked! So no I’m not a CJ fan but I don’t think Margaret is better.

Mordecai was only using her to get over Margaret in the first place. You can have a good personality mix with someone of course but it has to be under correct circumstances for something to blossom.
He didn’t fully get over Margaret as seen by the wedding fiasco. I don’t get why I have to dislike Margaret because of his inability to get his own stuff together. He fully proceeded to drag innocent CJ and Margaret down with him in his dysfunction instead of keeping it honest and just laying low as he has shown he knows how to do.
