My case for Marnie
I know Marnie is pretty well disliked in this sub and yes she’s flawed and all that yadda yadda. but…on my 50th rewatch I’m noticing how truly endearing she was at times. Like: when she first learns Hannah is accepted to grad school, she is immediately ecstatic, gives Hannah a big hug and says “You HAVE to go!” without any thought of what it would mean for herself to lose a friend…unlike Jessa who is so cold and not happy at all about Hannah’s new opportunity.
Also. When the 3 girls are called to the apartment after Hannah first learns about MRH, Marnie really gives the best advice. She says Hannah has to let Adam go or else she’ll hate herself for it. And Hannah took that advice. When Hannah says “I guess we’re not some great love story (paraphrasing bc I don’t remember the exact quote) Marnie says “Maybe WE are.” Ugh. Tears. 😢
Also. The sheer joy on Marnie’s face when she’s reading Hannah’s article about coping with the Adam/Jessa business. “Hannah’s in print!!” Such a cute moment of her on the toilet. Lol.
Okay. Let the Marnie hate train chug on.
