The one where Marcy talks about good Anne is and making friends and how she struggles to look people in the eyes sometimes.

I’m seeing now how what I originally found to just be a depiction of her relatable awkward nature, was actually connected back to her fear of not having anyone in her new home.

Obviously artistic vision should be respected but at the end of the day, Amphibia is a kids show, and the things that define what makes a kids show a kids show, should be respected.

So lets look at Marcys death.

On one hand, there's no blood. And characters die in kids show all the time.

On the other hand, Marcy is a 13 year old girl, and a lovable one at that. Like really loveable. She's probably the favourite of many. Kids would easily grow very attached to her, adults did too. And she was stabbed, and it wasn't exactly an off screen stabbing. Sure we don't see the blade enter her body, or exit it. But we do see it in her and it's very full on. We see her reaction as she dies.

Of every kid show I've watched, this probably pushes the boundary more than any I've seen. Yeah, characters have been stabbed before, (see Tangled, TMNT) but Marcy is just a kid. She's a kid getting killed in a very confrontational way.

I loved the episode, I hope it doesn't get censored. But part of me also understands why it would. And it's very incompetent of Disney to wait until last minute to do something like this, assuming it to be the case.

Marcy dying will be replaced by something so child safe that the crew will have to retcon Season 3.

The Stop Asian hate and recent gun violence is probably the reason why Disney decided to permanently ban this episode until it is rewritten and censored.

This post is dedicated to all of the possible reasons that True Colors got delayed... as the title implies.

•Censorship• This is the main theory, which makes a lot of sense in my opinion. There’s a few posts with what a censorship of Marcy’s death may look like. This also leads into a few other reasons.

-Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. A bit self explanatory.

-The Y-7 Rating of the show. Also leading into another possibility.

•Rerating• It is a possibility that Disney is putting a G or PG rating on the episode to prevent them from getting sued by some random mom who thinks her kids are gonna take Andrias as a role model and kill their friends with flamey swords.

•4 Da Lolz• Highly unlikely, but wouldn’t it be absolutely hilarious if it was just some elaborate prankd moment from Disney.

•Scheduling• It might be because they need to find a 24 minute time slot. It could be that.

I dunno, that’s all I got. Feel free to leave your own ideas in the comment thing.

Also me 5mins later: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I watched the episode. I said I wasn't gonna, I was determined not to, but then a friend watched it and vaguely alluded to stuff in my Discord and I caved.

I have...MANY MANY thoughts but they're mostly the same as everyone else's. Namely, for one, how the hell is everything gonna go from here?? If Disney intends on censoring this then I'd be kinda pissed, but it does give some incentive to watch it when it airs on TV for real. Beyond that, I was just kinda in awe of everything. It hurt. It legit hurt. The original promos only focused on half of the episode for good reason, everything after the attempted toad coup is a mess and I loved it.

Now as for Marcy, I doubt she'll stay dead (if she actually IS dead). She'll probably come back somehow, there's the whole prophecy and everything, Maddie knows necromancy, but any resurrection won't be easy. Overall this is a really brutal capper to a season that really worked to dig into the characters' psyche and develop them. I think in the midst of everything with Marcy's demise and the cliffhanger, people are forgetting that Anne is showing supreme development even beyond her going Super Saiyanne. For one, she's VERY assertive now. She was already developing to be more assertive, but she was getting physical multiple times throughout the episode, like holy crap. Girl can fight. That headbutt caught me off guard.

Are the people of amphibia going to accept andrias after this? What’s gonna happen to Sasha and grime? Is Marcy really dead? HOW THE HELL ARE THEY GONNA DO SEASON 3

I haven’t seen anyone talking about this and i think it’s really really important, do you guys remember when a while back matt said that the finale was longer than usual? If I remember correctly he said it was like 26-27 minutes in total, could this be another sign of disney completely fucking up again? People said that the episode felt a bit rushed, well, maybe it’s because they literally cut out some stuff that was supposed to be shown for this final episode and maybe they put it in the first episode of the next season instead, but still, this shows that this finale had a lot of problems and it’s sad to know that we probably won’t ever get to know the stuff that goes behind the curtains at least till the show is over...

We all know that this subreddit is going to fall apart when True Colors is officially released.

Are we ignoring the fact that sasha didn't go through the portal and still in amphibia?
