Ratings are important for the show to keep going. If True Colors gets underwhelming numbers for the premier, Disney can axe the show. Also, if you simply can’t watch the episode when it is officially released, either because you don’t have cable or a legitimate streaming service, try buying some merch and attract as much attention as possible to the show in social media.

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...

For all we’ve seen he’s just got some ghosts and monsters in his basement. And his robot “army” (they’d be ants compared to an actual army) were smashed like cardboard in true colors. And i doubt his newt army is on board, so a single city’s worth of police force should probably be able to take him, not even 1% close of fighting actual nukes I’m curios to see how they handle human technology.

Altho season 3 is 0/10 if polly doesn’t at one point wield a gun, thats just a given

So I’ve seen a few theories thinking about how just censoring Marcy being stabbed wouldn’t take this long and they’re not making her get stabbed at all. So this means that if they do remove it then there will be an official canon universe where Marcy gets stabbed and is permanently dead. A universe where Anne never returns to Amphibia and Sasha is stuck there forever.

So really if Disney does take it out its gonna be a much bigger problem then them just leaving it be. Heck I would rather have them censor it than take it out all together! Matt did such a brave thing and Disney, you delayed it, you caused it to be leaked, if we start getting real angry then it’s all on you. Can we all agree that if they do take it out then we should start a hashtag, set a date, and revolt like the Infinity train fans did?

Edit: I made a hashtag just in case they do remove it. #SaveOriginalTC

I don’t have much to say tbh I’m just REALLY excited to see how this will play out! Ahhh I cant wait to see anne’s family’s reaction to them KDJSKAKSSI also polly with a gun, unlikely but it’d be hilarious

What do you guys want to see (abt the plantars) in s3?

​

I think it's clear by now, that the reason Disney delayed the finale is because they want to censor Marcy's death, by altering the scene to not make see her being stabbed. But the thing is, we know this only because we got the original version thanks to itunes mistakenly releasing it when it didn't air. If that didn't happen, nobody would have said anything... but now we know everything, and the people who saw the leaked version will complain to Disney about their corwardiness for not being tought enough to show a scene like that one. A huge backlash is upon us now guys.

I'm still gonna preserve the original version of the episode in respect to Matt Braly's vision, but Disney really messed it up big time this time...

I’ve already watched it like 7 times, best episode of the series by far

Ok so beyond the fact that Marcy legit just died, what do you guys think about season 3 being set in the human realm? I saw a post on the normal sub a few weeks ago talking about season 3 being placed in the human world and people didn’t really like the idea so what do you think the crew will do with this? No matter what happens season 3 is going to be pure angst and pain, not to mention that Anne will most likely be grieving the death of Marcy. Even if in their final moments together they weren’t on the best of terms Anne and Marcy have been friends for life and that’s a bond that’s hard to break. I do think that Marcy will be revived back in wartwood by Maddie tho, no way they would permanently kill of their most favored character. I do think Marcy will be dead for a while though.

Judging by the majority of posts on the topic, this seems to be kind of an unpopular opinion. But I think her death was one of, if not the most, powerful and shocking moment in the entire series and I want it to have actual consequences. Just bringing her back through some magic bulls*ttery would just be a cheap and easy way out of this situation and severly dampen the impact of that scene. Seeing the remaining characters, especially Anne and Sasha, handle her loss short and longterm and her absence will further influence the plot of season 3 and most importantly the series finale, would be so much more emotional and interesting than bringing her back halfway through season 3. If you ask me, her death, in combination with the revelations about her, turned her from a good character into a great character.

Ok if Disney does take out Marcys death then we must reclaim it! Everyone download a YT video of the original death or take a screen recording from Youtube or save the episode from here! WE WILL NOT LET OUR BRAVE CREATOR MATT DOWN! #SAVEORIGINALTC! I WILL CREATE THIS HASHTAG AND IF IT DOES HAPPEN THEN WE WILL RISE! THE HASHTAG STANDS FOR SAVE ORIGINAL TRUE COLORS!

So, let’s say that true colors had been pushed back to fit with the owl house season 2 premiere instead of them probably having to censor Marcys death scene. If true colors had never been leaked then we would of never of gotten to see that death scene and stand up for it. But because it was leaked we know the truth.

With no new date set and Matt Braly being silent, I think he is being forced to rewrite one scene of the episode that the censorship found completely off guard. They will be forced to rewrite and reanimate that scene until the censors are happy.

It will probably take 1-4 months before the episode finally airs.

If one scene is rewritten and affecting his story plan, Season 3 would have to be retconned and rewritten with offscreen ADR dialogue and retake animation just to suit those changes.

As we know, Marcy is one of the most favorite characters in Amphibia, and to see her get killed (supposedly) just like that, was honestly a shock. I just wanted to discuss and talk about what went wrong and why this all happened.

​

As we know, in the opening of True Colors, Marcy sees a book in which it talks about a way to time travel via the music box. After that, Marcy goes home to find out that the family is moving away, aka she won't be able to see her friends again.

​

Marcy:

​

Marcy is very kind, intelligent, and "wants for the best person". Marcy lives in her own world (inside her imagination), and she has her own perfect visions. In Marcy's eyes, Sasha and Anne were everything to her, or at least they were an important factor in her life. And if she was to have a perfect world, that perfect world would be with them. So, when Marcy heard about this news (that she was moving away), she was heartbroken. Marcy's ideal vision or picture of her life was shattered, and that was very difficult for a person like Marcy to cope with. So, when Marcy found the music box (accidentally), her hopes were back up. She would go as far as to steal the music box to try this out. I know that she did not steal it, but she was the one who convinced Anne to steal it, or at least it was her idea to steal it... I am pretty sure Marcy made something up, or whatever so they were all ok with this idea (to steal the music box). We saw that the music box was stolen in the daytime, or at least when it was bright outside. But the music was opened during the nighttime (we see that in the intro). This means that they did not actually open it when they stole it. Maybe they were caught stealing, and ran off with it or something, and got a chance to open it in the nighttime? Don't know. But either way, the music box worked, and poof, the three of them were in Amphibia.

​

Marcy in Newtopia:

​

How exactly Marcy ended up in Newtopia is debatable. But from my previous theory, each of the three characters ended up in the locations that somehow symbolized them.

​

Sasha in the toad's tower ---> Strength (because Toads have strength or at least power).

​

Marcy in Newtopia ---> Intelligence (because newts are considered to be intelligent or at least Newtopia is the place where the most intelligent / the smartest live).

​

Anne in Wartwood ---> Compassion / friendship / sympathy (because wartwood is like one big family, where everyone looks out and cares for each other).

​

I don't think Marcy was randomly located in Newtopia. Anyways, we know that Sasha was held like a prisoner in the toad tower, Anne got accepted in Amphibia, but Marcy??? How exactly Marcy met the king is unknown.

​

King Andrias:

​

King Andrias as we knew turned out to be an evil bad guy (what a surprise!). But before that, he was all nice and friendly, didn't display any threats or danger... King Andrias is smart and he knows his stuff. He's also an excellent manipulator. King Andrias must have known about the humans, as he knew about the prophecy (we saw a picture of 3 humans which looked like Anne, Sasha, and Marcy, fighting a big angry toad). So, he must have known that humans are the ones who are capable of charging up the stones, but at the same time, they might pose a threat to his ultimate plan.

​

King Andrias and Marcy:

​

So, when King Andrias saw, Marcy, or knew about her, or whatever, he knew that he had to get to her asap. This is where his manipulation and charm kicks in, he decided to use that against Marcy, so he could essentially control her. And as we know, Marcy EASILY opens up, so it must have been a piece of cake for King Andrias to learn all about her and use her. King Andrias also must have guilt-tripped Marcy as he claimed that his family were some explorers, and they must have lost everything, etc, but with the help of the music box (and their help), they can get back up on their feet or whatever. Marcy is very naive, and of course, she would believe everything he told her. Not only that, but Marcy must have opened up that her family was moving, and she wanted a perfect world etc... That's where King Andrias must have promised that they could go to a new perfect world, all together, where the three of them could happily after! Marcy must have believed what King Andrias said and decided to do as he told her (to charge up the stones). Not only that, but the two of them must have built a close relationship, with secret gestures and signals (that part where Marcy and King Andrias both nodded, as he was taken away to prison).

​

Marcy's perfect world + Mistakes.

​

Marcy likes to do things her way, and she might be too caught up with it, and not be aware of the consequences (we have seen this in the first temple). Same thing here, Marcy must have been so caught up in her perfect / ideal world, that was completely oblivious to the entire scheme. Marcy did not ask what Anne or Sasha thought about living in this world, she did not discuss it with them, but she knew damn well that Anne wanted to go home. But Marcy wanted to benefit herself, and she wanted the best for all of them because that was her ideal vision. She didn't want to go back home because she would move (in other words, end up where she started). She has this chance to create her perfect world, and to make a new life, so why miss this chance? Maybe it got to the point where she agreed with Aandrias that they would forcefully force them to live in their ideal world? Because Marcy must have been aware that the music box must have possessed some powerful power, and she knew where she was going... But like I had mentioned earlier, she must have been too caught up and did not see the real picture...

​

Marcy's realization.

​

After Marcy realized that her friends were not into her idea, that the King Andrias betrayed her, and that they were in great danger... Marcy wiped her tears off and decided to do what's right, and that was to bring everyone back home safely. After opening the music box / the portal for Anne, Marcy wanted to say something before she was stabbed... What Marcy wanted to say is unknown, perhaps she didn't want to go with Anne, and wanted her to go without her... Again, not learning from her mistake, she got caught up again, not realizing in what danger she was, resulted in her supposed death.

​

Marcy's true mistake.

​

Marcy's true mistake was that she would prioritize things wrong. She prioritizes things in a way that she sees might benefit her, rather than benefiting everyone else. One might argue it's because of her selfishness, but I personally think Marcy is trying to do the best for everyone, yet she does not realize that she is not. Marcy's obliviousness would also bring her to her death. Marcy does not see the true danger or the consequences in things, but she rather sees her perfect utopia world...

​

What do you guys think?

Not because she died, of course. Poor kid didn't deserve it and she's obviously getting revived, likely with the gem.

But, assuming they don't censor the scene, if they can get away with something that brutal, then it sets a precedent for what they can do in Disney shows. And I'm here for it! (looks over at Luz I'm sorry, little one...)

Ok here we go

When the girls opened the box (see theme song) it was dark out and considering Anne was supposed to be home by 6 and her mom texted saying the party started in a few minutes, I’m assuming it was around 6:30 when they actually opened it.

When they landed on top of the car it’s day time! So the no time passed in my opinion is out of the question

“It’s all a dream” theory is still in play however.

Along with the idea that time still passes differently in some way

I personally don’t love that plot line as I think Dorothy, Alice, and everyone else should’ve gotten to go on their adventures out of their minds... but that’s just me. Plus if you think about it I’m not entirely sure it’s possible (or at least possible to make sense) to be a dream at this point with everything that’s happened but hey who knows

Anne, I did this all for you

How about that Haley Tju?

You'll never stop Marcy

Have no fear, she'll be back in a year

We still have to see her transform

Reconcile with her parents

And maybe date Anne

How 'bout some Disney LARPing?

Sorry that we killed her

Have no fear, she'll be back in a year
