I think some of you are forgetting that these characters are still children. At most, the oldest is twelve or thirteen (considering they're in Junior High). We also have to consider that these characters are also cartoons, thus their actions are often greatly exaggerated to be comical.

I will admit that Marie's character design is my favorite out of all the character. I even like her character despite the overwhelming flaws she has. Hell, I like all the characters despite how frustrated or angry I get with them. They remind me when I was that age and how I could also have been just as petty or vindictive. Children, after all, are sometimes the cruelest creatures in the world.

With all that said, I like to see Edd and Marie together. However, I don't like to see them together as they are now. Edd lacks the social maturity to handle a relationship with any girl (be it Nazz, Sarah, or Marie), and Marie is unable to express her affection in a productive way.

This is why I love how they ended the show with the kids banding together against Eddy's older brother. It showed that despite all of the differences the children has with one another, there is a ray of hope that, in the future, they will all become good friends. It allows the viewer to interpret that perhaps the Kankers would stop bullying the kids and forcing themselves the wrong way on the Eds, Kevin will stop calling the Eds dorks, and Ed, Edd n Eddy will learn some value from what they were dealt with.

It's fun to dream because writers like myself can dabble in this world filled with potential and write fan fiction if it strikes their fancy. Basically, the point I'm trying to make is that I like Marie but I'm still fully aware of her less desirable traits and acknowledge that can be cruel.

Err, I wonder if I got my message across properly.
