Is it just me or is Marcus getting annoying? He has always been scared of everything. He spent most of LC captured. And he was on the tank and said, "All I want is to get off this thing!" Then gets punched off. Just too cheesy for me. Who else thinks he is the C3-PO of the Indy series?
First of all, if your final sentence is referring to a certain gold-plated neurotic in a longago, faraway galaxy, it's
C-3PO (or See-Threepio, or Threepio for short). Secondly, I love Marcus and I love Threepio, so a poll asking whether you either like Marcus or consider him like Threepio doesn't work for me (where's the option for "they're both awesome"?
). Finally, "getting" annoying? Putting aside the question of whether he's annoying or not, using "getting" sounds like you're referring to his appearance in a recent / current movie. Did you mean to post this in some other forum twenty-three years ago and just not get around to it until now, or what?
In seriousness, I do have a hard time voting in this one, since I really do love both Marcus Brody and C-3PO. Technically the first option would work for me, since I do like Marcus and also disagree he's "totally" C-3PO, since the characterizations just aren't the same, but doing that would falsely suggest I don't care for Threepio, and I don't want to imply that; they're both very endearing characters to me.
In fact, Threepio is actually one of my two favorite
Star Wars characters, Artoo being the other, and the two of them and Indy are my three favorite Lucas / Lucasfilm characters.
